We routinely train with shoot/no-shoot targets, especially in Hogan's Alley type training. It's one of the fundamentals of being a school-house cop. In the last nine years I've probably done 40 different scenarios where we first had to identify the target as hostile before engaging it. It's kind of basic, actually, stressing Rule 4 training.
A target can go from hostile to non-hostile in under a second. Once he decides to surrender I can't be pumping rounds into him.
