Inert Advanced Weapons Kit

The Inert Advanced Weapons Kit was designed to fill a void in checkpoint security by enhancing the screener's knowledge of disassembled weapons.

Screeners are trained to look for complete guns and edged weapons. Guns can be broken down, and blunt-force threats, like brass knuckles, can be very dangerous. Disassembled guns can be brought through security as individual components. The TSK5500 provides common-caliber ammunition and firearm components, helping screeners identify items that can be reassembled after the security checkpoint. DSA recommends pairing this kit with the Guns and Knives Kit (). This ensures the most complete weapon training possible.

Each weapon simulant is visually correct and engineered to have the same density and effective atomic number (Zeff) as a real threat. None of the items in this kit are firearms in the U.S. but may be subject to country-specific import requirements. All cutting edges and points have been blunted to ensure items are safe for training. Most inert training aids are coated in blue rubber, which helps to identify them as safe to handle. Bullets have a missing or spent primer and an inerting hole in the casing.
