Force on force training teaches, again and again, that the traditionally taught stances, sighting and modern technique disappear quickly in a semi-realistic encounter and most shooters revert to instinctive response.

Those pics only prove the point that there is no fear of dying in those FoF, cops and robbers scenarios.
Why? They don't even assume the instinctive combat crouch or move off the x. They aren't scared because they know they're perfectly safe and well protected and it's only BB guns.
Geeeeez. It's a game.....
As for FoF, it only rocks....at first.
It's great 'tactics' training. But it quickly loses its stress-training effect as the players realize that there is no 'real' threat or 'fear of dying' and they attempt maneuvers that they probably wouldn't do in reality.
I say, take off all the protective gear.
Use the BB guns against only a tank top, shorts and goggles. That might put a tiny bit of fear and pain in the game and produce more realistic reactions.
IMO, one should train in the basic skills that remain useable in very high stress encounters.
Train in the fear-of-dying physiological and mental responses that one 'will' default to in a sudden CQ gunfight....such as 'instinctively' move off the x as they face the threat, assume a combat crouch, focus with both eyes on the threat and not the sights, extend arm/s, one-handed, tight grip and squeeze off multiples......because that's how most people will react to the fight.
