Know Your Ammunition: Understanding Basics is Essential
A comprehensive understanding of ammunition is crucial for professionals, particularly regarding the specifics of different types of caps, including their grain and effectiveness ratings. Knowledge of manufacturer's details, product labels, and safety data sheets is essential to ensure proper use and compliance in law enforcement. There are distinct categories of explosives, such as C4 and RDX, each creating unique performance standards. A failure to recognize the relative effectiveness (RE) values compared to standards like TNT can lead to significant operational errors. Engaging with manufacturers for accurate data and clarity on RE values is vital for safety and effectiveness in the field.
