    I'm pretty sure I've seen footage of fireams officers being tested with a simulation, a bit like a video-wall version of an arcade shooter, only with video footage instead of rendered graphics, the idea being the officers have to decide when and who to shoot, to protect there own and others lives.

    doesnt fill me with confidence .... pretty rare to die from a single shot instantly, countless cases where multiple shots required to incapasitate

    It is quite a rarity though. Regardless of whether a shot is a killshot, or even takes out a limb - getting shot is excruciatingly painful. Unless you've had some form of combat experience or even proper training, pushing through that pain is incredibly hard.

    Anyway - gaming could at least make police actions a lot more exciting in the media...
