Hey MC, tell the guy if he ever gets a TDY to Ft. Leavenworth (War College), or to Whiteman AFB, or possibly Ft. Riley, he should go to KC. We have a place here where you play paintball in a simulated city inside some of the underground storage caves. (They are actually old limestone mines.) He can buy a face mask and goggles at WalMart, use an old BDU over his regular clothes, and then just rent the gun and helmet, and of course purchase his CO2 and paintballs from the place.
The US military and most law enforcement agencies use it in tactical training specifically for the purpose of teaching concealment, cover and tactics to soldiers and officers. It cuts down on the total number of casualties when they understand you can't just stand out in the open and blaze away at someone! By the way, the police here have been using more military type training courses for thier officers because it was found by researchers that the police had a lower effective fire rate than the criminals, and that the police had a higher rate of sustained injuries and deathes! (In other words the police couldn't hit the side of a barn from the inside, when compared to the crooks!) These studies by the way were what caused tighter gun laws in the US for awhile, but during that time no lower criminal activity rates or gun violence were seen because of them.
