As I was walking into walmart today I glanced over and saw the neatest video game in the entry. It was called Sports Shooting USA and appears to be a combination of IPSC and IDPA style gun games.
I didn't have the money to play it but I sat and watched the computer demo the various stages. It was pretty neat, there were silhouettes, no-shoots, hostage targets, pop-ups and steel (pepper poppers and disks) to blast to blast away at.
The guns were full out race guns with a simulated red dot site. (the tube had one of those fiber optic rods running through it. made aiming with both eyes open difficult.)
I didn't count the magazine capacity but it was more the ten rounds.
All in all I thought it was a perfect device to introduce people to the concept of shooting as more then hunting and redneck militia types playing army. (We know it isn't that way, but the sheep don't.) It also showed a "sporting purpose" for full capacity magazines and defensive handguns. Best of all it showed the use of a firearm in defensive situations. Not perfect mind you, but it is a start.
Time to start checking the floor boards for quarters again.
