One word of advice, there is "NO" industry standard when it comes to civilian weapons and training in the United States, none, zero. While I agree there is a huge industry, there is none that sets a standard.
For all you know the trainers at Blackwater were former Mall Security Specialists that have great people skills.
Point in case, there was a military channel special where a Texas SWAT Team was attending training at a civilian facility in Texas and they were using this instructors "Black Powder" breaching charge to breach doors. The instructor was an idiot and the SWAT Team was paying big money to be trained by said idiot.
There are no standards.
