Training for the military or the law enforcement agencies is a worthy job. Yet it is fraught with many risks. Many people have lost their lives and got killed accidentally while practicing with "unloaded" firearms. Hence it is important that while training for the military and other law enforcement agencies, training aids that are both safe as well as smart are used. As a consequence, these days, non-firing "dummy-guns" are now commonly used during practice training. These training guns, known as firearm simulators or by the adopted name of 'blue training gun' are an exact replica of the real weapon, both in size and dimension. So while one is being given a proper and safe tactical training, the need to use a training gun that has the look and feel of a real weapon is being addressed while it is still not a danger to the unassuming any more. These training guns are indistinguishable in size from the actual firearm and they can be holstered properly allowing the user to practice safely and also in areas that are not safe for drawing live, or even "unloaded," weapons for training. These blue training guns are actually plastic training tools that allow the users to simulate a firearm and to safely point that weapon at another student without the risk of negligent discharge. Though these training guns weigh almost identical to that of real weapons, they do not have any functioning pieces. It's more like a block of weighted plastic shaped like the real gun. With time, many manufacturers have come up with the most detailed and extensive line of non-lethal training aids. And all products are exact castings of the actual weapons used for law enforcement agencies and military training. In fact blue training guns have become the most realistic and safe alternative to using live firearms in training scenarios. In order to give a feel of the real action on duty, most manufacturers are now coming up with detailed, hand crafted training aids which have the exact feel of the real weapons but are yet safe and ideal for realistic training scenarios. In fact, they are so detailed that they even carry the original serial number. With a variety of multiple barrel lengths, rear stock settings, and rail system configurations, one is able to train with the exact model carried on duty. With the fake guns the safety net is ensured for the trainees.
