Any idea on pricing for the Simunition kits? Their site doesn't give pricing
Simunitions doesn't sell to the general public. For liability reasons, they maintain very close control over who they sell to. That is one reason a lot of force on force training is conducted with airsoft.

Absoulutely.Simunitions doesn't sell to the general public. For liability reasons, they maintain very close control over who they sell to. That is one reason a lot of force on force training is conducted with airsoft.
As stated on an earlier post, training facilities that provide exercises with Simunitions rarely allow students to participate with them before having taken a number of prerequisite courses.
A friend of mine participated in FoF exercise at Asymmetric Solutions near Farmington, MO. It involved mush more than shooting at a human target that might fire back in lie of shooing at a motorized inanimate target.
The scenarios involved threat recognition, human interactions, the "interview" , shoot/no-shoot decisions, the presence of innocents moving around, and so on. Simply trying out the tools without really high quality instruction and coaching would not be helpful.
Getting a Simunitions certification isn't that hard. You just have to be a certified instructor, have $2M in insurance, and take an online course. That is it.
The ammunition is expensive along the lines of $1 per round, but unlike airsoft there typically is no argument if you got hit. It hurts like a mother and leaves a paint mark most of the time. Speer has their own generic Simunition FX ammo (the patent expired a couple of years ago), but I am not sure they sell to anyone other than LE agencies.
