Immature, maybe, accurate, yes. While we're at it, that's you're, not your and immature has two m's.

Don't play with red names, it never ends well.

Pay particularly close attention to post #2.

For someone who's a Cadet, you sure have a lot of improper spellings. Which are you anyway, a high school or the college-level cadet?

Speaking of post #2, whatever happened to Chops? He was around in '08, and now he's gone.

I played with red names once... I blacked out, woke up in Calais covered in dung.


A few years ago I saw a video on Army BCT and they showed this weird "simulator system" where they had basically long tubes attached to the end of their m16s and they were "shooting" at weird 1" tall targets.

Our cadets are like a barely militant version of cub scouts. It's not like ROTC.

I was in the Air Cadets in school. Great fun. It's interesting how much they used to reflect their parent services. For instance, the Sea Cadets couldn't march or raise the flag properly (dropped it on ANZAC day). The Army Cadets ran around doing things for the sake of it and doing a lot of raised voices sort of thing. Us Air Cadets would do what we were told to do then relax. I once took a chilliebin on a bushcraft camp. True story.

I´ve used the AGSHP during my basic training. It was quite alright, since it´s a nice addition to "dry drills", especially for recruits who´ve never touched a gun before. You get to understand basic stuff like reloading, trigger pull, when to use which sight (scope or red dot) etc. and the slight recoil and noise these guns make are good to get used to the real thing. Another thing it´s good at is practicing squad firefights with the different squad weapons, like machine guns or grenade launchers.
Of course a simulator can never replace the real deal, since it´s just something entirely different. But it´s alright to get untrained people slowly into shooting or to cheaply practice squad actions. Other than that it´s a nice "toy" but live fire exercises will always be better.

no.

training tools like these are used when units can't afford to get their boys out on a range to get trigger time. it's a good recruiting tool and familiarization for noobs. that's all though imo.

[Rosbach]

There is training with real G36, P8 and Mg3. But Pzfaust 3 and Uzi means AGSHP. The noise is different as is the recoil.

[Clear_blues]

I honestly didnt like it, maybe it was because everyone else had M4s while I was given the M9. It is cheaper and safer then live fire ranges and easy enough to change senarios and conditions.
