- Sold as a 2-pack, which may be limiting if you want multiple dummy rounds for extended drills or several firearms.
- The product is shaped like loaded rounds to support loading and feeding practice, but it is still a training accessory and not a substitute for live-round function testing.
- The description focuses on dry-fire, loading, and unloading practice, so it is best suited to handling drills rather than broader shooting applications.
