Does anyone think paint ball games would be a good training tool?

Good for team building and moral.

If you incorporate the training with Combat Life Saver it could be an all use aspect. With my Infantry unit in Germany we had squads attack a fire position. Any casualties sustained they were treated and extracted. Works great not only is there pain associated with the round it leaves an obvious sign such as paint in relation to blood.

My unit has used paintballs quite frequently, it is an outstanding training aid. Like it was already stated. The reality of getting hit and it hurting is a major motivator, to get it right. Utilized properly it can be somewhat cheaper than the other types of sim rounds, mainly because of only needing co2 & the balls. vs. blanks, adapters, miles, batteries, additional cleaning time on weapons, cause we all know how much more time it takes to clean out the carbon from a day of blanks.
