A U.S. Marine died late 2006 from a gunshot wound during an urban combat training accident. The Marine responsible was an experienced, well-trained Sergeant. The next day all of Camp Pendleton was briefed about the incident. This brief however, did not solve the design flaw that allowed live ammunition to become commingled with blank ammunition.
The Army and Marines have lost approximately 10 Service Members from negligent discharges since 2002, one just recently at Fort Polk last October, and hundreds more have been injured. This begged the question, “Why is there not a separate magazine for non-lethal ammunition for when Soldiers train?” That is where the Safe Tactical Magazine idea was born and is what drives SafeTacMag, LLC today.
SafeTacMag, LLC has now developed an innovative, yet simple, M16/M4 5.56 Blue Force on Force Training Magazine designed specifically to protect lives, prevent injuries, and save the government hundreds of millions of dollars by preventing accidental discharges of live ammunition during military and police force on force training exercises. Unlike conventional magazines, which accept both live and force on force ammunition interchangeably, SafeTacMag’s unique and patented training magazine is specifically designed for non-lethal rounds, thereby preventing accidental and negligent discharges of live ammunition.
