A trigger emulation mechanism of an electric gun is disclosed. When actuated, a trigger assembly causes a retainer assembly to drive the toothed rack element to allow the toothed rack element to operate in combination with a gear shaft assembly to amplify a rotational angle, making the gear shaft assembly drive a striker hammer plate to rotate and allowing the striker hammer plate to drive the striker hammer elastic element to accumulate energy therein. Afterward, the retainer assembly may release the toothed rack element, causing the striker hammer elastic element to force the striker hammer plate to rotate in an opposite direction to strike thus generate sound and vibration, thereby achieving advantages of enhancing the degree of simulation by generating sound and vibration and an idle stroke before firing is initiated and also reducing the size thereof for applications to various models of electric guns.

A system and method for simulating lead of a target includes a network, a simulation administrator and a user device connected to the network, a database connected to the simulation administrator, and a set of position trackers positioned at a simulator site. The user device includes a virtual reality unit and a computer connected to the set of virtual reality unit and to the network. A generated target is simulated. The target and the user are tracked to generate a phantom target and a phantom halo. The phantom target and the phantom halo are displayed on the virtual reality unit at a lead distance and a drop distance from the target as viewed through the virtual reality unit.

A sensor system for a firearm is disclosed. The sensor system contains a body, a mounting facility adapted to mount the body to the firearm, a first accelerometer connected to the body operable to generate a first acceleration signal based on detected acceleration of the body, a second accelerometer connected to the body operable to generate a second acceleration signal based on detected acceleration of the body, the first accelerometer operable for detection of accelerations within a first range between a first lower limit and a first upper limit, the second accelerometer operable for detection of accelerations within a second range between a second lower limit and a second upper limit, the first lower limit being less than the second lower limit, and the first upper limit being less than the second upper limit, such that at least portions of the first range and the second range do not overlap.

A method of firearm instruction may include the steps of substituting a rear sight for a standard rear sight and substituting a front sight for a standard front sight by securing the rear sight and the front sight to a firearm. In various aspects, the method may include the step of aligning the rear sight with the front sight along a line of sight by a shooter manipulating the firearm, and the step of viewing by an instructor simultaneously with viewing by the shooter the aligning of the rear sight with the front sight along the line of sight as the shooter is manipulating the firearm. A rear sight face of the rear sight and a front sight face of the front sight are sized greater than a standard rear sight face of the standard rear sight and a standard front sight face of the front sight thereby allowing viewing of the aligning of the rear sight with the front sight along the line of sight by the shooter and by the instructor simultaneously, in various aspects.

Systems and methods herein relate to a safety magazine for blank ammunition or “blanks”. In one illustrative implementation, a specially-shaped follower is utilized to engage and advance the blank ammunition without jamming, i.e., when holding and feeding blank cartridges into the chamber of a firearm. In other implementations, integrated/unitary magazines including such a follower are disclosed, which also prevent jams otherwise common in the field of magazines converted to handle blank rounds of ammunition. According to such implementations, live ammunition or cartridges are prevented from being loaded into the magazine and a specialized follower that prevents the ammunition form jamming is provided.

A shooting simulation system. The shooting system includes a shooting simulation device for targeting a target and a computing device having a processor and a memory. The computing device has a processor and a memory. The memory stores a set of instructions and the processor executes the instructions whereby the instructions determine a target profile based on a current perceived parameter of the targeting of the target. The processor then assigns the determined target profile for use in determining a hit or miss of the targeting of the target by the shooting device.
