The habit of pointing unloaded weapons at each other for training will lead to one day FORGETTING the weapon is loaded and pointing at another person while training.
This is how the LEO training officer in Arlington killed another LEO in a class with is department issue pistol (forgot he had loaded in at lunch.) This is how a Dallas cop killed another cop in the locker room demoing what they had learned in a training excercise just an hour before (with tapped over muzzles of their unloaded pistols). He 'forgot' he had loaded is duty weapon after training and out of habit pulled it and pressed the trigger, dead into the man's heart.
This is a warning. Familiarity breeds contempt. Keep training with live weaons in class and one day someone is going to 'demo' and 'forget'.
