Faux Weapons

Faux weapons, munitions, and “homemade explosives” (HME) training aides are proven effective to add a dimension of realism or to validate individual and collective skill sets. These training aides are commonly used when students are tasked with identifying weapons, removing a cache, or when the actual weight of a weapon system is needed to improve team building drills, such as the all steel non-firing MK-19 replica, ammunition boxes, and heavy projectiles. Faux weapons are available to replicate weight and physical characteristics of a weapon or ordinance to support school house training or to supplement any field problem with the highest authenticity.

Unlike the traditional blue gun training aids the faux weapons manufactured at STOPS are constructed with an impact resistant resin using a steel sub frame and provide a realistic weight and feel. Molds are taken from actual firearms and ordinance to ensure truest form and highest fidelity. Various faux paint techniques are employed to simulate distressed wood, rusted steel, or any other desired finish.
