11 N/A N/A An SDVOSB value added re-seller for UNIT4 Solutions. We have used this product in a number of our Prime and Sub-Contracts supporting the Department of Defense with incredible feedback. Reaching out to see if the client for Force on Force Marking Cartridges (Simunitions) would entertain an offer for UNIT4 marking and non-marking rounds, which would be an incredible cost savings to the Government and of higher-value. Our current systems for both pistol and rifle require force on force (Brand Name or Equal) marking cartridges. They are plastic projectiles with a marking dye. The projectile is placed into an aluminum/polymer casing. The cartridges have primers that initiate the propulsion gas to cycle the weapon systems and launch the projectile.
