It depends what the goal is.

You are correct that VR is not going to mimic reality.

But it does a good job of aiming and shooting with zero safety issues.

Reloading different weapons too.

Some people go a bit crazy mimicking the weight and feel of their VR guns.

Not seen recoil but a low velocity version is probably possible.

I'm not sure a gun law simulator would sell well, but some people are strange.

Shooting a gun in VR is nothing like shooting a gun in real life, and if you 'train' in VR and then actually try to shoot a gun IRL you will realize this basically immediately.

I am trying to imagine someone with 'VR Training' going to a gun range and it looks like the vids of people waving loaded guns around on range and sweeping people with a loaded mag, shooting a gun and having it fly out of their hands or into their faces because they have no idea how stances and recoil work.

That may be exactly the point, to avoid shooting a gun in real life.

people waving loaded guns around on range and sweeping people with a loaded mag

Exactly. Do this in VR and there is no danger, just skill and fun.
