Magpul Dynamics Firearms Training
Magpul Dynamics offers firearms training that is in many ways tailored to law enforcement personnel. Magpul instructors teach skill-based firearms training they call weapons manipulation that's designed for "prioritizing efficiency and consistency in mindset, fundamentals and stress conditioning." The courses run the gamut from basic weapons skills to advanced dynamic assault in complex urban environments. Several courses are marked "LEO Only." Photos courtesy of Magpul.

When officers enroll in firearms training with Magpul Dyanmics, they learn about shooting from 'urban prone' and other reality-based positions that officers may encounter in a gunfight. Instructors teach the importance of shooting from cover to minimize exposure instead of stepping out into the open to shoot at an armed suspect.

Threat-Fire II
VirTra
VirTra's patent-pending Threat-Fire device safely simulates the pain of hostile return fire with a 300-millisecond electric stun (adjustable to 2.5 seconds). Enemies often try to use the element of surprise and this training accessory is being used worldwide to better prepare trainees. The Threat-Fire II is a clip-on return fire simulator, similar in function to the Threat-Fire belt. However, the Threat-Fire II is designed to clip onto an officer's duty belt for maximum efficiency.

Shooting Outside of the Box
He recommended "a wide, sturdy stance" when shooting. His method of finding the proper stance was to build a little wooden box for the shooter to stand in. I've forgotten the dimensions of the box because...well...because it was a ridiculous idea.

A good shooting stance should be flexible enough that it can be used under combat conditions from behind cover.

Training Simulators
The first law enforcement simulators were 16 mm projectors that flickered their filmed images onto sheets strung across shooting ranges. When the bad guy went for his gun, the officer had to fire and then await the judgement of his trainer as to whether it was a good shoot. Today's simulators are high-tech computer systems with digital projectors that play complex interactive scenarios. They are designed not only to teach officers when and how to shoot guns and less-lethal weapons but also how to talk to suspects to avoid escalation and confrontation.
August 10, 2009
The PRISim system is designed for both marksmanship and force option and force articulation training. A wide variety of lethal and less-lethal weapons are available for use with the simulator. For extra realism and for elevating the students’ stress level, instructors can use the integrated ShootBack system. The ShootBack cannon fires .68 caliber nylon balls at speeds up to 120-feet-per second. That’s enough velocity to sting a bit and remind a student to use cover in a gunfight.
