A naive, but sincere question. I don't understand the advantage of combat training with a simulated blue flashlight that costs more than a real blue flashlight.
Perhaps because the simulated light will not split your skull open?

Because the real flashlight would walk away. The blue plastic hunk isn't useful for anything else so nobody bothers to help it walk away.
Mag lites are like pennies at my station. . .they sit around, nobody knows who they belong to and nobody bothers taking them.
We have red guns, but no blue mag lites.
Lucky you Lightraven, if you leave a pen or wattle bottle or flashlight unattended around here it disappears.(not from my fellow officers but lots of other civilians around)
Generally, our people don't take things, even the civilian employees. Only one dipstick ex-officer stands out in my mind. He tried to claim some of my issued gear that I left in a patrol vehicle and I caught him. He went dirty and got arrested for unrelated crimes years later.
Other coworkers have returned some "significant" items after I left them in a vehicle. I rewarded one with an Inova X5T.
