Which statement is true regarding the blank ammunition for MWD training per MWD?

• A. 5 rounds; .22, 9mm per MWD
• B. 10 rounds; .38, 5.56 per MWD
• C. 15 rounds; .45, 7.62 per MWD
• D. 20 rounds; .380, 9mm per MWD

Answer: (B)

Blank ammo use in MWD training is kept limited and paired with the weapon systems most commonly used in training: a pistol in .38 caliber and a rifle in 5.56 caliber. This setup provides realistic cues—the muzzle blast and sound—without live rounds, while keeping per-MWD inventory within safe, manageable limits. The statement that matches this policy reflects a modest per-MWD allotment along with these two calibers. Other options propose different quantities or calibers that do not align with the standard training equipment and safety guidelines, so they aren’t correct.
