This is a cartridge shaped laser dry fire training device that can be inserted into the chamber of a firearm and used for demonstrating where the simulated shots strike during each trigger press of a dry fire practice session when coupled with the DryFireMag training device as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 9,182,189 B2. The laser dry fire training device preferably is composed of a red diode laser, a set of batteries, and electronic PC board, a lens to allow the infrared light emitted by the diode mounted on a specially designed dry fire training magazine to excite the electronics of the electronic PC board, and two threaded cylinders to house said components.

A multi-function dry fire training device to be inserted into the chamber of a firearm, which comprises an illuminator for emitting, upon receiving a command from a controller, a beam of visible or invisible illumination from the barrel of the firearm, the beam being parallel to its central axis; a controller for controlling the functionality of the device including illumination of the illuminator, in response to activation of the firearm trigger; an actuator, being electrically connected to the controller, for activating the controller whenever being struck by the firearm striker and a power source for providing DC power to the controller and illuminator.

An apparatus, device, or method may detect or track aim direction or motion of a firearm and display information indicative of such aim direction or motion. Sequence of bullet strikes on a real or virtual target by multiple gunshots may be determined. A method may comprise detecting one or more gunshots of the firearm discharging live ammunition, measuring or determining aim directions or motions of the firearm before, during, and/or after the one or more gunshots, recording these measurements or determinations, and generating output for displaying images on a display.

A magazine simulator that is removably inserted into a gun, the box magazine including a switch that is articulated with a trigger mechanism of the gun, and a tracker interface coupled to the box magazine, the tracker interface including an electrical connection interface with a virtual reality tracker that communicates with a virtual reality computing device, wherein the electrical connection interface transmits electrical signals to the virtual reality tracker based on articulations of the switch.

A laser targeting apparatus rests on a surface and moves, such as by vibrating, wobbling, or shaking, when struck by laser light of sufficient intensity. The apparatus is designed not to fall over, so a user does not have to move to the apparatus and pick it up after a strike. The apparatus has a body that includes a structure, which is preferably one or more printed circuit boards including light sensors, for detecting strikes of laser light, and a motor. When a strike of laser light is detected, power is provided to the motor, which vibrates and causes the apparatus to move.

A dry firearm training system and method utilizing dry laser cartridge technology and a software application is provided. The software application enabling a user to: create, edit, or delete training templates providing the ability to perform training sessions quickly and efficiently. The system utilizes an auto calibration process to calibrate single or multi-targets in various shapes. The software application enables the user to perform a training session using the training template in a number of challenging game modes. All data from each session may be saved and uploaded to a social feed enabling other users to view the data. Personal records can be gained from the sessions, and users can compete for badges and rankings via multi-player matches and tournaments.

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.

The invention provides a system for pointing targets, at a random sequence, by parameters determined by the device itself or by a human operator. The system includes a main unit and optional remote input/output devices. The system includes a plurality of pointing laser devices that are moveable and rotatable allowing to aim the pointing devices individually. A remote device could be attached or integrated into a firearm.
