... a very, very small subset of the skills, if any.
Is there a VR gun app that simulates guns having... weight?
How About how to handle misfires, squibs or jams? Does it go over safety precautions, proper storage, handing, transit and relevant local laws?
Oh how about recoil management and shooting stances and shouldering? All the intricacies of reloading different kinds of weapons? Trigger pull and break?
If you got your gun training from VR, you'd still probably want to take a firearms familiarization course IRL before actually using a gun, as all that VR can really offer is the general concept of aiming.
Also, depending on your VR headset of choice, you could probably actually buy a decent pistol, rifle or shotgun and a day at the range's worth of ammo for the same cost.
Honestly, a pellet or bb gun would be a far better way to learn a lot more applicable basics of shooting for cheaper than a vr headset.
It depends what the goal is.
You are correct that VR is not going to mimic reality.
But it does a good job of aiming and shooting with zero safety issues.
Reloading different weapons too.
Some people go a bit crazy mimicking the weight and feel of their VR guns.
Not seen recoil but a low velocity version is probably possible.
I'm not sure a gun law simulator would sell well, but some people are strange.
Shooting a gun in VR is nothing like shooting a gun in real life, and if you 'train' in VR and then actually try to shoot a gun IRL you will realize this basically immediately.
I am trying to imagine someone with 'VR Training' going to a gun range and it looks like the vids of people waving loaded guns around on range and sweeping people with a loaded mag, shooting a gun and having it fly out of their hands or into their faces because they have no idea how stances and recoil work.
That may be exactly the point, to avoid shooting a gun in real life.
Exactly. Do this in VR and there is no danger, just skill and fun.
