    As long as this is treated as physical training and not actual marksman training I can see this being very useful. I remember going to the arcade once with those laser guns you hold up, all you can play for however many bucks, fuck my arms were sore.

      I mean, just fill two buckets with water and stand holding them with your arms straight out if you want the same training results.

      I used to really like the Silent Hill Arcade shooter. It was a fun themed spinoff. That and Time Crisis 3.

        Why have them carry a gun or ruck at all, just have them hit the gym. It’s not the same. Train like you fight (and a little bit more).

      The Pole Cat Tall Bipod shooting system is a great shooting platform for kneeling or standing situations.

      I imagine that arms getting tired might be part of the cost computation for all-you-can-shoot deals, though, so I dunno how well people tromping in the door with those would go over with arcade management.

        In this case the payment system stopped working and things were free. They eventually caught on. Their solution for the last hour and half was kick everyone out and you could come back in, all you could play, for whatever dollars.
