Don't think that is mentioned anywhere but since most vets (when they are
mentioned) I assume they use live rounds since they are so grizzled and
battle hardend. There is no substitute for real combat experience since you
know that you won't die even if you get shot. But then I guess that could
be fixed in SR by VR.

So my vote is for live rounds and people getting killed. It's probably like
a normal wargame but you acctually kill each other. Urban brawl on steroids.
