power than the standard 9mm ball (FMJ) whilst reducing collateral damage,
ensuring maximum efficiency in operational conditions. It features a non-toxic
propellant and heavy-metal free projectile for operator safety and reduced
environmental impact. The FN 9mm EPT (EuroPolice Training) ammunition is the training-dedicated complement to the FN 9mm EP duty round.

Non-toxic for the operator, it features the same trajectory as the FN 9mm EP round, ensuring efficient training. |
