Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 45
So how do you inoculate someone against a gunfight? Warriors can (and must) be inoculated against this stressor by experiencing force-on-force scenarios in which they shoot and are shot at by paint-filled, gunpowder propelled, plastic bullets. When I trained the Singapore special operations forces, they referred to these as "pain bullets"--an appropriate name.
