The closest I've been to real life was a fire arms training simulator (F. A. T. S. machine) in the air force. Being law enforcement, we used it to learn how to react to situations. It was a pretty cool set up, huge screen that played the scenario, and a Beretta that was air powered to simulate recoil. Your shots showed on screen in the form of red dots.
Anyway, my first scenario was a routine traffic stop on a truck. As I'm walking up to the truck, a guy pops up from the bed with a shotgun. In a matter of seconds, I drew my firearm, dropped to a crouch, got a nice two hand grip, and shot five rounds, and the scenario was over. I killed the **** out of the tailgate and not one round hit the bad guy.
That's as close as I've come to real life, so I'm not saying they did horrible. I still think its funny that Bloomberg has to eat his words.
Did they borrow this for filming the training facility in 'Men in Black'? It sounds like the same setup.
