1. Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi shot by police officer with less lethal munition.

The OSMP offers nearly 1000 reference images of a variety of munitions from active conflict zones, each reviewed and assessed by at least two munitions experts.
They also have easy to understand guides to key munition types, explainer videos, and a glossary of key terms.
