Frequently Asked Questions

What is Arex MTX marking ammunition?

Arex MTX is a non-lethal marker training ammunition designed for force-on-force training. It allows shooters to use real firearms in realistic scenarios without lethal consequences, utilizing specialized rounds that leave a visible mark upon impact.

How does Arex MTX ammunition differ from airsoft or paintball?

Unlike airsoft or paintball, Arex MTX uses duty firearms with minimal modifications, maintaining the weight and feel of real gear. It offers a more realistic recoil impulse and cycling action compared to dedicated training platforms.

What firearm modifications are needed for Arex MTX?

Duty handguns and rifles typically require small internal changes, such as specific barrels or bolts, to reliably cycle the low-pressure MTX training rounds while the rest of the firearm remains standard.

Is Arex MTX ammunition safe for training?

Yes, Arex MTX is designed for safety. The marking gel is non-toxic and non-staining. Crucially, the system prevents accidental firing of live ammunition, as the firing pin mechanism is incompatible with standard live primers.
