Be a Virtual Soldier for the Day
Product code: FUNVR
With this virtual soldier experience you will be taken to the very edge of the Battlefield experience in the most realistic combat simulation available.
Using the MoD infra-red beam training system, codename 'Headhunter', troops will be armed with an SA80 rifle which fires an invisible and safe beam at the same velocity as a 5.56mm bullet. You eliminate your enemy by hitting sensors located in the helmet and rig, which will sound an alarm and render their weapon inoperable.
If you become a casualty you are out of the action only for as long as it takes for you to get to the Company Aid Post, there you will be electronically resuscitated and sent back in!
During your time in the virtual soldier combat zone ammunition is unlimited and you reload from an electronic ammo dump. The SA80 rifle holds 64 rounds (2 magazines) each load and the fully automatic LSW80 holds 8 magazines with a 5 second time delay between loading mags.
As troopers you will undertake a number of true life manoeuvres which will develop your infantry skills. All engagements incorporate battlefield pyrotechnic effects and some will use armoured vehicles.
NB Virtual Soldier is not paintball or quasar, it is a genuine opportunity to experience true-life combat manoeuvres - not for the faint hearted!
