Simunitions...
- Thread starter truth

Best training I've experienced, and the best training tool I've used for force on force training. Makes a very positive impression.
It's amazing to see just how differently people shoot/communicate/move when it's painful simunitions zipping towards them and not infra-red lasers. As a tactical training tool, they beat MILES every day, including Sunday.
Yeah, really lucky to have this locally...

It gives a really good perspective on where you gave remained exposed in a gun fight. We used it to make some of the younger guys realize that you can get hit and stay in the fight, especially considering how many of the wounds would not be fatal.
Simunitions are valuable training aids but they are old news. The best I have come across and currently use are known as UTM rounds. They have longer accuracy distances and also offer different types of rounds for different type scenarios, such as silent blank rounds that will cycle your bolt/slide, blanks that you can have contact with the target and not hurt the other person. The man marker rounds still hurt, just not as bad as sims do and offer realistic trajectories, no curve balls or whacky trajectories that you get sometime with sims. Plus there is absolutely no way you can accidentally shoot a live round when you have the UTM bolt in your weapon. So if you like Sims for Force on Force, check out UTM's products, you won't want to go back to Sims after you use them.

That's exactly what we were using last night in converted Glocks. Couldn't for the life of me recall the correct 3 letters. The training started off by being shot in the buttocks intentionally to create a desire to not be shot again and raise the stress level a bit. It was point blank and hurt. It was an effective strategy as we were working in and around a vehicle and the all of the contacts were under 20 meters in the urban environment, many at arms length. It was a really good night of training.
