@sam345 we used paintball as a way to have a bit of fun and start off the weekend of training. the rest of our training exercise was with M4s and blanks. unfortunately, we are a Reserve Officers' Training Corps unit and don't rate the MILES or other laser system. As far as the helicopters, it is part of our program to expose these potential future Army leaders to as many facets of Army operations as we can...the ILARNG was gracious enough to fly us...all these guys were back at school on MON
@sam345 yeah noise wise. they even said in the video that it makes people to take cover. then the blanks if i knew that it was blanks i wouldnt take cover i would if i had something flying towards my face
@2ndcoat3 no... no it doesnt.... blanks are far more realistic esp. when they have the laser system on, mainly because of enagement ranges and noise. Paintball could be ok for closequarters training but i personally think, when im off on excercise, id rather use the laser system than piantball. but the helocopters? why? watse of money really, if your gonna have heli insertion atleast have a full blown 2 week excercise
@2ndcoat3 egos are too light - tippmanns have more realistic weight if you're going for combat training. But yeah, probably not the most accurate marker. If they had lots of money they'd probably use Tiberius T4s with FS rounds and HPA, not egos.

@Docjobie Do you really expect a bunch of future ring pushers to do any better? That's the life of an officer, half the work and twice the pay.
