US Consul General JoAnne Wagner, Sindh Works and Services Minister Nasir Hussain Shah and provincial police chief Dr Kaleem Imam on Wednesday inaugurated a shooting simulator system installed at the Saeedabad Police Training Centre in Karachi.

Addressing the inauguration ceremony, Wagner said the US was supporting Pakistan in the fight against terrorism and would “continue to cooperate for the creation of a democratic and peaceful atmosphere”.

The US diplomat said that it was the “quick response” of Sindh police helped foil the terrorist attack on the Chinese consulate in Karachi last month.

Provincial minister Nasir Shah gave Sindh police the credit for maintaining law and order in the province and advocated that the provincial government should “increase the budget of police and enhance its capability through the provision of modern equipment”.

Also speaking at the ceremony, the Sindh IG said that the newly installed simulator will “help improve the firing capabilities of the trainees”.

This is not a substitute to firing real steel nor should it count as range time!

Sir but don't you think it will reduced firing range training time because simulator training will help you to get basic know how / reflexes.

No, this is used in the U.S. for a totally different reason, to actually be competent and confident with your weapon, you need range time with real steel, this is unable to offer that. I have used one of these simulators during a course in New Mexico, it's really not that great.

1. The weapons have used in the simulator offer no recoil, so the user will not learn to appreciate alignment and handling of the weapon
2. The gamification element of the training makes it counterproductive to what firearms training is! Which is serious business!
3. It is impossible to replicate real life scenarios such as stoppages and immediate action drills in-front of an ICD screen.
4. Such training simulators may be good in highly complex roles such as navigation and roles where high computation or logic is required, bad for practical tasks such as shooting and weapon handling, these are gimmick!

You don't learn to ride a cycle by reading a book, you learn by PRACTICE on the bike itself!
