All Ranger teams will have their weapons converted to UTM at some
point during the competition. The UTM Blue Bolt weapon conversion Wisconsin Constitutional Carry – What’s the Delay?
adapts standard service weapons, including M16/M4 rifles and M249
machine guns, for use in various real-world training scenarios. By
removing the live bolt and inserting the UTM Blue Bolt users can convert
from lethal live fire to non-lethal in approximately 30 seconds. The UTM
Blue Bolt offers an important fail-safe safety feature – the 3mm offset
firing pin. When the weapon is converted with the UTM Blue Bolt, the
safety feature prevents denotation of live ammunition, M200 blanks or
any other center-fired primer ammunition.
