Why train with something that doesn't react like your every day carry weapon?
I think the real market is wannabe tactical folk and not real LEOs, because real LEOs use simunition. |
Nigh unlimited? Most departments(around here anyway) can barly get by. Of all the departments I've trained with only one of them uses simunition, and even then its a rarity. Most of them use paintball, and one uses airsoft because they can't afford to use simunitions. Simunitions are definatly the best training available, but most departments either don't use them or don't use them much because of the price.
Side note I didn't realize you were a police officer, learned something new.
