After independent ballistic testing and continuous use, the Department has determined that the SinterFire bullet is the most effective type of ammunition available for our Department due to the bullet’s capability of having less fragmentation once it is fired into the steel targets during training and not posing a safety and liability concern for FHP recruits. SinterFire meets the needs of the FHP for training ammunition.
