I was reading a gun mag the other day and something in one of the stories caught my interest.
They were covering the campus police force of William and Mary University. The gist of the story was that after VA Tech they armed up with Beretta Storms. When the story turned to training and lack of a budget they came up with a good solution.
They wanted to have a shoot/no shoot system but didn't have the budget for a good one. So instead they comandeered the range, set up a laptop, a projector, and a sheet for a screen. Then they ran powerpoint presentations with encounter photos.
I don't know what we could do with that, but it seemed too good an innovation to not post.
That could revolutionize the IDPA/IPSC/ 3 gun/etc. matches! Think how much more fun that would be than shooting cardboard cut outs. We could run informal matches with famous movies and shoot when the operator hits pause! Westerns, war movies (We Were Soldiers comes to mind), science fiction (shooting storm troopers in Star Wars might be fun), or even import video from your favorite video game. You could even run sniper matches with moving targets... I guess the only risk would be in someone accidentally putting a round through the projector or laptop (we could armor it with some plate steel I guess).

I want to run a quad .50 and take them bastards down.
