I remember they've showcased such VR training kit as late as last year.
There are sensors mounted at the ceiling, paired with the wearable kits.
Cool. Still looks scary. Guess it could get better over time.
↑ 23:37 Cannon launch.This is interesting. I don't know where to put it but here. The images show an electromagnetic gun designed to launch firefighting munitions to put out forest fires.
The video mentions that this electromagnetic cannon is in the testing phase, but the fire chief hinted in the interview that this seems to be a new toy for firefighting.

As it involves no gunpowder that means it nullify the risk of starting secondary fire. Not to mention railgun technology means the range can be easily dialed in. I can see the potential for such equipment.
At this point system's biggest hurdle is the power supply, just look at the room it occupies. So once the power supply is miniaturized, the said system can then be make to replace those vehicular launch system; foot mobiles will still need chemical-based launchers. Not to mention plenty of China's potential conflict zones are inaccessible by ground vehicles.
