Paint pellet gun (Earth-5875)

The paint pellet gun is a nonlethal UNSC weapon that fire small, colored paint plasticine pellets during training sessions, both for new recruited or drafted personnel, as well as a testing method for new equipment during simulated combat situations.

History
Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez and the drill instructors of the SPARTAN-II Program used paint pellet guns to front the SPARTAN-II trainess of the unpredictable nature of warzones. They were later used between the SPARTANs themselves between shared training sessions of formations.

Paint pellet guns were also used by ODST units Kilo Team and Echo Team to train the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/Mark VI, issued to SPARTAN-II Maria-052, at the Special Warfare Center in Seongnam, Korea.
