Its done to simulate a high stress environment. Do what you will, its a learning and training drill that just might save your life.
So I do this once and it might save my life?
And finally:

You need to know what to exspect in the real world when you pull the trigger. The noise can stune you, very likly with a big gun in a little room.
By that rational, you should have someone really try to kill you while you're trying to kill them, otherwise you won't "know what to exspect(sic) in the real world when you pull the trigger."
Now you're being simplistic. It's a simulation exercise.

All it does is measure your focus while distracted. There are better focus excercises that don't require running around a gun range and not using ear protection.
Not just a focus. All the running about also adds a physical element to the exercise.
Frankly, I don't know what value such an exercise would have, & don't care. I'm just questioning why you would completely discount the suggestion and offer no real reason why. You even suggested that there are better exercises for developing focus, but fail to offer any examples.
