Okay, something new.
How many are familiar with airsoft. or as they were originally called, soft - air guns. These air airguns that shoot 5mm plastic BBs. They are powered by either CO2 cartridges, propane or electric motors. They are quite sophisticated and there is an airsoft counterpart to almost every real-steel firearm.
Why bother with them? In many countries firearms training is simply not permitted for any except police and military units. Even those groups are restricted in what they can do.
Airsoft provides the opportunity to do "Force-on - Force" training , real tactical battles in which no one gets seriously hurt.
Yeah, I know about Simunitions. I am ( or was) a certified Simunitions instructor and you can have my share. Too expensive, unreliable and dangerous compared to airsoft. Same with MILES gear; too expensive and complicated.
Do some internet research and find out of airsoft guns are legal and available where you live and you may open the door to training opportunities that you never knew existed.
