they loaded cotton rounds in a revolver, and you had to take the weapon from the other trainee, before he could shoot you. We named one guy Cotton. No shite, he got peppered about 20 times before he was successful. When we went to lunch, he lifted his shirt and he looked like he had 20 bee stings where he kept getting nailed.
We just had rubber ducks. I got popped in the side of the head during a disarming gone wrong. Those things are hard rubber.
I did hear one story during DT that was interesting.
After a successful disarm you weren't allowed to hand the weapon back to your partner. You had to toss it on the ground. The reasoning behind that was an officer disarmed a suspect with a gun to the back of his head and then proceeded to hand the gun back to the suspect because that's how he did it in training. Not sure I believe that story.

Another fun moment, was when we had to try to take a weapon away by taking it from their holster. They guy I went against, had an old Safariland holster he had bought 2nd hand. I grabbed hold of it, and as he went to grab my hand and turn into me, I ripped the seam all the way down the front and got the pistol. He got laughed at, and the instructors used his being cheap as a teaching point in buying subpar equipment.

Yeah.. they used that story in a gun fight, that the guy would stack his spent shells, instead of dropping them and reloading or dropping the mag and continuing.. I get why they wanted to make a point, but I don't believe it either. On the flip side though.. in a high adrenaline moment, you are going to likely do, with the way you train. And if you don't, you have no idea how you'll react in a life/death, threatening scenario.
