As I indicted above,There were events like that - the NTI FOF ATSA village. 360 degree shoot houses with sophisticated realistic targets. Well, scripted and complex FOF with trained opponents. It was terribly complex to set up and run. By invitation only and not without controversy esp. when folks argued about scenario calls. The best instructors were there and me (haha!). It was not without pain at times (Code Eagle, Sims, close in airsoft) - you could mildly bleed. As I said, wife said you are a crazy old man and the liberal arts folks looked askance at the bruises in the gym. Students thought it was neat. I'm getting a touch old for this now. I prefer a sedate match.why can’t we design a completion that puts the self defense first and the game second?
That level of event can't be easily put on at the local match level. Now, when I was in TX, there were some specifically short range matches to try to be a touch realistic and based on real incidents (I reported an AAR or two on these). So I shot carry guns - G26, 642s, G42s. Some guys would still show up with some USPSA Hans Solo special with a competition holster and gun with the Hubble telescope for a sight. That negated the purpose of the match, IMHO. For instance, a longer range one shot only head shot to eliminate a bad guy with a bomb (taken from a real incident) - what's the challenge with the blaster as compared to a 642 or G42 (made them, BTW).
