Bullets

Bullets

Package reads, "For use in military / law enforcement training under direction of qualified instructor".

Many objects were knocked over and used as shields, marked with red paint from these.

It's quite common for these buildings to be used as training for Police who do a lot of warrants with barracaded and armed suspects. It's better to learn by getting hit with a simulated bullet than to make the same mistake and get hit with a real one.

I've met a number of homeless inside abandonments in some very bad neighborhoods, they have all been relatively nice and even talkative. Spare a few bucks and be courteous in their home if you want to avoid problems.

Thiells isn't exactly an inner city, I've never seen or heard of homeless inside either...

Motts is right, being in the demolition field i meet plenty of homeless people and most of them are nice.

It's just that a lot of people (including myself at one point) come under the delusion that a bum occupying an abandoned asylum must be pretty mentally whacked and thus, homicidal. Obviously, I've come to my senses, but I still feel tense sometimes when urban exploring

i worked in Letchworth a few years ago, at the golf course, and ive seen SWAT train there. it was nuts, i was driving by on a golf cart and i saw this guy outside of the building i guess waiting. my boss came over and was like you guys gotta get outta here (to the SWAT guy) because we have golfers comin by - it was nuts.

That ammunition is called Simuntions FX marking cartidges, and they are available to police. They are used in real guns (with converted parts), for training purposes. These are so small you barely feel them. We shot these inside a Sheriff's conference room, at each other with only eye protection.

They did this at The Hudson River State Hospital as well. They destroyed many buildings that could have been used for the community. Like a building that housed a pool, bowling alley, and educational rooms. They used the same type of ammo as seen here.

Just Sad...

They did this at the Met State Hospital in Waltham, MA thats on this website. My grandparents live around the corner form there and they were woken up at 7am to the sound of gunfire and flashbangs going off. The Mass State Police were practicing breaching in the old buildings before they all got torn down
