Video games with real bullets

The Danger Room has a blog posting about a new training technology. Basically a unit's live fire training building is modified so that computer generated images are projected on the walls. Live rounds are still used by the troops and another computer detects the impacts of the rounds on the walls so that the images can react correctly - ie if you shoot someone they fall down.

I'm not sure how practical or expensive this is but it certainly sounds like it might be useful.
