When the cartridge is fired, it releases dozens of what kind of tags?

• A. Blurred dye markers
• B. RFID tracking tags
• C. Confetti-sized cartridge identification tags
• D. Laser etched serial tags

Answer: (C)

When a training cartridge is fired, it is designed to provide immediate, visible feedback by ejecting many tiny confetti-sized cartridge identification tags. These tags scatter around the impact area so observers and students can see exactly where shots landed, facilitating quick scoring and a productive debrief without leaving messy residue. Other ideas wouldn’t offer that same dispersed, visual feedback: dye markers would smear and complicate cleanup, RFID tags would require readers and aren’t released as a visible cloud, and laser-etched serial tags are permanent markings on equipment, not items tossed into the air for scoring.
