The projector alone is at least 20 grand, not to mention the speakers that probably cost upwards of $2,000, not exactly cheap. But they are quite fun. We have one of the new ESTs at my ROTC unit.

For those of you who have never been in the military and used one, they are not made to be fun, they are just cut and dry firing sims to help get grouping and sight picture down.
