It was very good for testing how fast you could ID a threat, fun as hell to. Million dollar set up.
Weapons that hooked up to it operated and weighed the same as real weapons. Just one light cable was attached to the weapon. Incorporated Mag changes and malfunctions. Recorded shot placement. The floor could be changed to incorporate furniture/obstacals.
Your so called buddies could control where, how many enemy or friendlies appeared and what weapons they carried. Only one person could hook in at a time but they said they would have four hook ups soon.
It was very underused. All we had to do was call and schedule an appointment. Anyone on Bragg might want to look into it, if it's still there. Us and the MP'S seemed to be the only ones using it then. We did recommend the ability to hook in two weapons for transitions.

KG - You should see our new toy, called laser shot. It uses regular ammo and the cameras pinpoint impacts on the wall as a heat signature. This is then ran through the computer and you get a kill according to shot placement. Run scenarios, make entry and go to town, will handle 5.56, 9mm, .45, and I think 7.62mm.

Sorry for the slight hijack.
