How does this work? Are you using real guns and shooting holes in the screen or is it a duck hunt style light gun? If they're using real guns it looks incredibly dangerous for more than one person to use it at a time

There are dummy rounds you can put in an actual gun that activate a laser light when the firing pin strikes them.

And thank god because otherwise I would get so little practice

Laser in fake but realistic guns. Laser hits screen, camera on back of screen detects laser dot's position. At least that's my understanding of it.

Also if it's like the one I've done they simulate recoil with a CO2 canister. It works pretty well, although when you have to pretend to reload by removing and re-inserting the same magazine it takes you out of it a bit.

Duck Hunt Style, but the gun has compressed air or something for some recoil. Potentially also a shock device for when you get hit.

At some point the army at least tried using these for training, idk how common it was.
