AMC's sims experience is similar to my experience. Me with handgun and 8 rounds of ammo, and the bad guy with an AR, and chest rig with 5 mags topped off with 30 a piece. It was even worse in the academy when I did sims. Every scenario would result in me getting shot to shit after doing everything right. The bad guy never died, regardless of how many times he was hit. Plain stupidity.
