Certain numbers of accidents happen during firearms training with military, police, and civilians.
It is very common for flight simulators to be used as training tools for those about to pilot an airplane, so perhaps building very realistic non-violent shooting simulator (complete with felt recoil) would be a good approach: experiment with using them in several police academies or military training centers -- require recruits to gain a certain proficiency before live firearm training, then observe if there's perceptible change in accidents during live round training afterwards.
To pre-empt an obvious question, blanks aren't very useful: they will not cycle a semi-automatic, don't provide realistic recoil, but they're still capable of causing very serious injury (or death) to someone on the other end.

Not only do you get to work on mechanics, but they put you in situations (there's a live operator determining outcome) where you have to think "should I fire or not", rather than just working on the movements.
