ITAR-controlled training articles, supplied compliantly. ISO 9001:2015. GSA-authorized. Berry Compliant options. Manufactured by EOD Gear — this is not a resold import.
Inert Ordnance: Frequently Asked Questions
What is inert ordnance?
Training replica ordnance containing no explosive material, built true to the size, weight, and appearance of the real item — so EOD technicians, soldiers, and officers can train recognition, handling, and search procedures against realistic targets without a live hazard on the training lane.
What inert items does EOD Gear manufacture?
Inert dynamite, inert boosters, M112 demolition block replicas, 3D printed landmines, and replica grenades, projectiles, and munitions — covering both US and foreign ordnance patterns, fabricated in-house in Franklin, Tennessee under ISO 9001:2015 so items can be produced to match specific training requirements.
Are inert ordnance items really safe?
They contain no explosive material. That said, professional practice treats training aids with discipline: mark them per your organization's inert-marking standards, control them like accountable training property, and never transport realistic replicas in public view outside of training contexts. Realism is the point, and it cuts both ways.
Are inert ordnance items ITAR-controlled?
Yes. Items in this category are ITAR-controlled articles — export and international sales require appropriate authorization. EOD Gear is ITAR registered and manages compliance on every order; international buyers should contact us before ordering to confirm eligibility and licensing requirements.
Who uses inert training ordnance?
Military EOD units and schools, combat engineer training programs, public safety bomb squads, law enforcement academies, demining training organizations, and security screening programs. Realistic inert aids are the backbone of recognition training and search exercises across all of them.
Can EOD Gear build custom inert replicas?
Yes. With in-house design, CNC machining, and additive manufacturing, EOD Gear produces custom fabrication runs for specific ordnance patterns, custom markings, and unit requirements — including Berry Compliant landmine and military ordnance training aids.
