Ever been hit with a paint ball?  They tend to sting at
close range.  You take a good range or reaction shooter
he can learn to shoot the paintball gun well.  Now you
take him and put into a situation where he is being
shot at and his accuracy will fall off.  Fall off a
LOT.  That's because of the stress and fear of being
hit.
If this happens with paint balls how much do you think
it will fall off when it is real bullets?  This was my
point.  You have to train, train, train, train and
train a little more if you are going to have any chance
of being able to hit a target while you are under fire.
We all have seen the video tapes of actual LEO
shootings and read the reports where an officer fires
several rounds at someone only to have one or two or
less of these rounds hit.  Two examples that pop into
my mind are: 
Several years ago two officers in NYC in a subway
tunnel fired a total of 21 rounds.  Three of these
rounds hit and only one was a good hit (in the neck).
The other is the case where the too troopers stop a
pick-up/SUV and the passenger comes out shooting.  At a
range that appears less then 10 feet the trooper fires
several rounds none of which hit.  It might not have
mattered as the shooter was wearing body armor but a
couple of solid hits might have slowed the shooter down
enough to be caught.
Anyway how many OPFOR TX's have you ran where you used
real live weapons? 
                      Remember:  Freedom isn't Free!
