These fin-stabilized projectiles are designed to break up on impact to reduce the risk of penetrating injuries. There are five variants of the bullet, each with a different color or filling:

- Yellow - Permanent paint projectile, has a latex-based paint to mark targets for later inspection.
- Pink - Washable paint projectile, has a water-soluble paint for short term marking of targets.
- Orange - Oleoresin capsicum irritant, filled with pepper spray rated at 5 million Scoville heat units mixed with a glycol base.
