Welcome!
I asked my brother-in-law (police detective) about them, but they were news to him. I showed him a Youtube video of a guy tearing up some cans with a fully-automatic MP5 replica. He wasn't really impressed, I guess because police practice combat with REAL MP5s that shoot some kind of soap-based slugs that can tear little bits of skin off. They do this so police forces will take their training *seriously*.

He did mention that bad guys in the US paint the tips of REAL weapons with orange paint to make police pause before shooting while the bad guys shoot first.
