Gauging interest for Simunitions-based force-on-force training

[Twitch2120]

I am pretty sure you will want to have more protection that that......a paintball travels at about 90 m/second......the 5.56 simunitions round travels at over 190 m/second and the 9mm round pushes 150 m/ second (if I remember correctly)......I have not personally used these, but a friend of mine did some training with a Glock 19 lower and simunitions upper and said the little bastards really hurt and left some good bruises when you took a round and it missed all the safety gear.

Hence why I asked. Not sure what other gear is needed and if said gear will have any usefulness in the future.

With Simunitions in my courses, the minimum required safety gear is a Simunitions-brand helmet and throat protector. I don't allow anything else for head/face/throat protection.

Students are also required to provide some sort of groin protection of your choosing.

Personally, I do not recommend any gear beyond that, nor do I use any. Yes, Simunitions hurt, but that is one of the teaching points: you may take hits in a gunfight, and they may hurt, but you keep on fighting. If you bundle up like the Michelin Man, kinda defeats the purpose.

Nerf guns, inflatable punching gloves and 10 acres of land to hunt your adversary....I'm in

mikey357, I believe I have locked on a location for the Level I and II training. Working out the particulars, I'll post more when it has solidified.

Pretty funny when I have the live-fire shoot house locked on, but have a hard time for a venue for the rest!

So for 400 bucks you get the 2 days class and keep the sim gun conversion? Did I read that right?

 

[cmshoot]

The cost of the Sims equipment would be in addition to the cost of the course, but you get to keep the equipment.

 

[Wolfhunter]

Is that optional or do you HAVE to buy the equipment?

 

[cmshoot]

You don't have to buy it, we will supply if you need it.
