The 'KEY' point with all of this isn't the type of gun used so much as it is the way in which they're used. Limiting the number of rounds to that contained in their actual weapon's magazine is more critical. As a US Marine officer told a non com after he'd blown through all his ammo, "the ammo fairy doesn't come in the middle of a battle and bring you more, you've got what you've got and that's it."

WE have better paintball guns now lol

This training was something unique, not part of a nation wide program. Would be interesting to learn if this training had any impact on their ability to perform their mission. Countries such as Israel make far wider use of paintball, with overall good results. Too bad others haven't made the connection.

US rmy elements are now beginning to use something called CCMCK, which uses a marking round similar to Simunitions, while the Marine Corps uses Sims rounds. Two different systems, but the same effect on your target, especially at close range. Trouble is they both only mark well when the target is close, not when they're a couple buildings distance away. No training system is ideal for every situation and don't forget, cost is also a major factor in what's used.

@paintballdude227 exacly..and it doesnt throw paint all over the place so u dont need to wash the place after!

[paintballdude227]

it would be better to train them with airsoft. Its more realistic and they have way better range and accuracy.

@head920 Far less 'pain' for starters. Range also less with AirSoft. That said, both options have training value, as well as significant cost savings. Mission should be to use ALL methods which leave soldiers better aware of mistakes, before they enter combat.
