A howitzer training gun with a gun carriage, a gun cradle supported by the gun carriage, a training gun barrel, and an unloading tray disposed at or near a forward end of the gun cradle, the unloading tray having a travel position and an operating position, and when in the operating position the unloading tray is arranged to receive a projectile from the training gun barrel and transfer the projectile to the ground.

Apparatus, method, and system utilizing USB or wireless cameras and online network for force-on-force training where live participants can be in the same room, different rooms, or different geographic locations. A video camera is aimed at a live actor and the computer, via a projector and software program, transfers it to a wall or projection screen. The live actor can choose a picture or video as a background and virtually transfer the action to a different environment. The live role model can be in the same room or connected via the internet to provide a live, non-recorded interactive training experience. The computer, when projecting the live video, adds a series of dots to the live video signal received that is being transferred to the wall or projection screen by the projector. A sensor camera detects the projected dots and saves their positions relative to the camera frame for later use.

A rifle platform weapon system dry firing device which allows the user to dry fire a rifle platform weapon system and still experience the trigger pull and cycling of the weapon system without breaking the shooter's positioning and sight alignment. The dry firing device includes a bolt carrier group configured to replace the standard bolt carrier group of the rifle platform weapons system. The dry firing device includes a magazine with a reset finger configured to reset a hammer of the weapons system.

A training pistol having a rigid barrel and operating with a conventional blowback system, including a frame, a slide and a barrel, including a slide stop device, a firing pin assembly and preferably including a slide lock which can be moved into a disassembly position in which it releases the movement of the slide toward the front. This release can only be achieved if there is no magazine in the magazine well of the frame and the slide is stopped. The barrel is fastened in the frame by a locking device that can be brought into a release position in which it releases the barrel. Additionally an unlocking gap is provided between the barrel and the slide, and when the gap is overcome, after the slide lock has moved into the disassembly position, an unlocking ramp provided on the slide forces the locking device into the release position.

A measurement and data integration system for the preparation of a firearm, to fire an accurate, precise shot, incorporating a tubular component containing two sensors to measure the speed of the projectile, further including a subsystem for the detection of the impact thereof and the measurement of the time of flight of the same, a subsystem for the measurement of the angles of inclination and cant; a calibration subsystem, a subsystem for communication with weather stations which consults and receives in real time the meteorological variables, as well as a microprocessor with a first operational programme that measures, requests, stores and manages all the aforementioned signals, and a second programme that includes an interface with the user.

A method for inserting a safety block into a rifle comprising upper and lower receivers, the lower receiver comprising a trigger assembly positioned within a cavity. The method includes separating the upper receiver and the lower receiver to expose the lower receiver and inserting the safety block into the cavity. The safety block comprises a hammer cavity that surrounds the trigger assembly such that the safety block surrounds at least a hammer of the trigger assembly. A hammer stop of the safety block rests against the hammer. The upper receiver is then closed against the lower receiver. Closing the upper receiver brings the upper receiver into contact with the safety block and rotationally pushes the hammer stop of the safety block forward and against the hammer. Rotating the safety block against the hammer rotates the hammer to free the hammer from a restraining portion of the trigger assembly.
