I used them in some MOUT training. I felt bad for one guy in my squad. He took a 3 round burst to the fleshy part of his side/back. The simunition went through his BDUs and one lodged in his back. I can't image that pulling a piece of plastic out of your back feels very good! (He was hit from less than arms length from the muzzle of the M4.)
Airsoft works nicely too (one of my hobbies). The only differences, at short range, are that BBs don't leave paint and there is no felt recoil from most airsoft guns...oh, and they don't jam nearly as much as simunition-modified rifles!
