6MM TRAINING - VIRTUAL SHOT2020 was a hard year for serious training without a doubt; COVID19 pretty much stopped some ranges fromeven opening and our beloved guns lay dormant aside from us “dry” training with them at home, and likenever before the subject of “training aids” took on a high degree of significance! Iggy gets to grips with a 6mmsystem he’s been using to keep his “edge”, VIRTUAL-SHOT. -IRAround the world we are back out on the rangesagain and the good life seems to be restored!However, every now and then we still havelockdowns, and our shooting skills may haveslipped a little while we were not able to useour guns as usual. A company in Australia hasquietly been busy developing a solution though,a solution that’ not only fun but means you get touse your beloved 6MM Training Platform safely inthe comfort of your own home and work on your marksmanship skills!The Idea for Virtual-Shot actually started back in 2010 whenDaryl, one of the members of the Virtual-Shot team, was servingas an Infantry Officer in the Australian Defence Force, having justbeen appointed the Commanding Officer for a Mentoring Team thatwas due to deploy to Afghanistan. They were set to deploy to apatrol base and conduct mentoring and training with an AfghanCompany and had about 3-4 months to prep and get ready forthe deployment. A lot of the reports coming from the soldiersalready over there was that the engagements they would behaving with the Taliban were sometimes close range, but oftentypically between 300-800 meters, and were usually what wecalled ‘shoot and scoot’ tactics (where they would pop up fire afew shots and then disappear not wanting to stick around andget engaged in close combat). To prepare for this Daryl wantedto refine his soldiers marksmanship skills, to increase their rapidtarget acquisition and first round hit skills to be more effective atengaging fleeting targets.The difficulty he faced with this was that they very quickly burnedthrough their ammunition allocation and did not have enoughtime or range access to spend the time they wanted at the rangeperfecting these skills. Their unit made best use of the simulationfacilities on the Army base, but getting access to these facilitieswas also difficult, because the simulation centre could onlyaccommodate 20 soldiers at a time and on a base of 5000 peopleit was almost always booked out months in advance. Somethingelse was needed.Daryl felt they needed an individual simulation solution thatwould enable the soldiers to practice their marksmanship skills. Thelaser-based shooting systems that were available were simply notsufficient.Fast forward five years! He had long returned from theAfghanistan deployment unscathed; there were a few closecalls, and the guys had their fair share war stories to tell fromthe experience. Daryl had since left the Army and started a newcareer in software development (a different path to most InfantryOfficers). Whilst learning game development, he soon discoveredthat the technology to create a personal shooting simulation system,the kind that he had wanted for his soldiers was technologicallyfeasible with the advances in mobile technology, so from that pointhe set about building it…6MM TRAINING - VIRTUAL SHOTpmcimagazine.
