BIP MP: Marking Powder

The BIP MP Marking Powder Agent Round utilizes SDI’s collapsible head technology as a pain compliance round. It carries a colored powder that temporarily marks the target upon impact. This type of marking ammunition is effective in riot and crowd control scenarios.

The discharge of colored powder gives the target the impression that they are being targeted for additional force; perhaps of a lethal variety, similar to a warning shot. The BIP MP offers a psychological effect in helping to enforce compliance on the subject.

The Marking Powder Agent Rounds also help to assert authority in specialized scenarios where soldiers or officers are in potential life threatening situations and must make quick decisions. When faced with a decision to shoot or not shoot at a checkpoint, in a prison riot or during a border patrol incident, the BIP MP provides an alternative option that can assist in enforcing compliance.
