Dummy Distress Markers for Realistic Training and Milsim
A dummy distress marker is a non-functional training accessory used to simulate distress signals or visual markers within milsim and training scenarios. These markers are intended for realistic loadout construction without actual smoke or light signals.
Within this category, you will find a dummy distress marker from Emerson. This model is part of the broader category of Training & Dummy Gear and is designed as a visual addition to tactical configurations.
Why choose a dummy distress marker?
- Realistic appearance during milsim
