Haha. This reads like an Onion article.<p>Utter nonsense.<p>That this was published by Fast Company has knocked down their credibility for me a few notches.<p>The prerequisite for committing such a crime is having a gun. If you have a gun then you’d train with the gun at a shooting range or on some private grounds or whatever. You can buy thousands of rounds of ammunition to train with at the cost of a VR headset.<p>And that’s already presupposing that you can get any meaningful training from a VR game. I mean, why send soldiers to boot camp when you can send them some Occulus’s instead? Any useful training you could possibly get wouldn’t be in context of firing a firearm, especially without any meaningful haptic feedback. The point and shoot part of shooting a gun is understood almost immediately and accuracy is nuanced enough where even differently adjusted sights on the exact same model of firearm makes an enormous difference.
