How useful is this for the Air National Guard (not a ground unit):

MPRI's Machine Gun Training System (MGTS). Requiring only 10 meters for operation, the totally portable unit can be set up in a variety of locations to meet machine gun training requirements of the US Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps. With the addition of the SafeShot blank firing replacement barrels for the M-249, Training Tasks 1-8 and Qualification Tasks 9 and 10 can be met; all while providing soldiers the experience of full recoil and instant feedback. The MGTS gives shooters the ability to observe hits and near misses, adjust fire, and operate with speed, and allows trainers to observe the shots in real time.
