I found it fascinating and useful as a training tool. One thing instructor kept asking was if I was feeling nervous at all due to the realism depicted in the situations, etc.
Honestly, I felt fine - to say that I'm "used" to handling a pistol is an understatement - and I've long ago steeled myself for some of the terrible stuff mankind does to one another.
I was surprised to hear that many people/cops just freaked out after running a handful of scenarios... I dunno...
Has that happened to anyone/anyone's dept.? If so, how did you guys/your training methodology deal with it?
