Now That’s a Fun Truck…
Found this via Wonkette, with a much bigger picture. Apparently, they’re having some sort of firearms training group (Warning, website has sound, which may or may not make you hate humanity…) demonstrating their wares in various House of Representatives offices today. Laser Shot’s mission is: “Our mission is to be the leader in firearms training products specializing in “Use of Force” and “Judgmental Training” to save lives emphasizing on military and law enforcement products.”

No really. For real. They will sell you a kit to install in your home theatre so you can practice pistol shooting, rifle shooting or shooting skeet! The best part of all of this? The “firearms” they sell are probably the only legal ones for the District.

OOOH! I saw this at last year’s GovSec conference at the convention center. It’s a very cool system for training police / SWAT / military that’s basically a very advanced version of [insert favorite war FPS here]. Each shooter is in a stall; you can utilize an in-board comms system or your own, and the movement is controlled by a mini-joystick mounted on the side of the weapon.
They had mentioned last year they were developing a commercial version; sounds like the shooting range is the first incarnation of it.
I rather enjoyed picking off several middle-management government suits last year…
