    Well, the is interesting...

    Man on man training with your own firearms. I guess it is a new level of training.

    I'm conflicted.

    Done properly, with very strict procedures put in place and with training beforehand, it could be very effective as a training tool to simulate "real world." Especially if they have scenario lanes that are more pertinent to a CC situation.

    Downside is the whole "shooting at each other" thing.

    I looked the place up, and the article is very misleading.

    They're probably separated for legal reasons. Contrary to what the news article said, they can't convert all firearms:
    RIFLES

    Any AR-15 / M4 platform chambered in .223 / 556 *
    HK G36
    HK 416
    HK Mp5 / SP89
    Sig 552
    Colt SMG
    M249 SAW

    PISTOLS

    GLOCK 17, 22, 31 *
    GLOCK 19, 23, 32 (coming soon)
    HK USP 9, 40 compact or full size*
    HK P2000
    SIG P226 *
    SIG P229 (9MM, .357, .40 CAL)
    SIG P2022 PRO 9mm
    .38 cal revolver *
    If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord:
    40. I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an unstoppable superweapon, I will use it as early and as often as possible instead of keeping it in reserve.
