This is a huge change from their well established policy. Those ****kers have sent cease & desist letters to more than one trainer that I know over violating their corporate policy.
I guess they are finally starting to worry with so many former Simunition employees having jumped ship and offering competing training &/or products.
Personally, I'm more interested in the ATK force-on-force products and training program than Sims these days.

Ken Murrey was one of the co-founder's of Simunitions.
The man behind the ATK product line, worked for Simunitions for more than a decade. I got to work with the ATK stuff a couple of years ago and it was pretty impressive. Compatible with Sims guns/conversion kits, but cleaner running, marked better, had slightly more recoil and better accuracy.
Thanks for the info Paul. I'll look into their product too. It can't be more expensive than Simunition. I'm almost finished with meeting Sims requirements but since I wish to operate on extremely low budget I'll take a look at what they have to offer.
As far as violating their policy, would it have been due to any violation of their "resell terms" or something similar? They still due have somewhat stringent rules with the civilian program, but I don't know how they compare to the others.
We used Sims in MC. I knew there were competitors, but the only one I'd heard of was the one Shay uses which I thought were a subsidiary of Sims at one time. Those looked like a very different round design than Sims? The Sims I'm used to pretty much look like ordinary brass cased 9mm round trimmed down with a plastic insert. I'd post a pic, but I don't have a digital camera handy.
