A video camera assembly for a firearm is disclosed. The video camera assembly is attached to the firearm, and has a frame and a controller located on a circuit board inside of the frame. In operative connection with the circuit board is a memory, a video camera, integrated with a lens, that generates video data to be stored on the memory, a microphone that generates audio data to be stored on the memory, and a power supply. A power switch connects power to the controller from the power supply in an on position and disconnects power to the controller in an off position. The video camera generates video data and the microphone generates audio data when the power switch is in the on position.

A physical target that can be attached to a smartphone or other similar mobile device for providing a laser (or projectile) firearm target and an application software for providing, controlling, and recording practice sessions. The present invention teaches the combination of a base target, an attachment clip located on a front or backside of a colored, interchangeable screens that can be removably attached to the base target, variably sized and shaped adapters, which are removably attached to the base target and cover the interchangeable screens. The items of the present invention can be stored and transported in an EVA Hard Carry Case or other cases. The software application taught by the present invention enables a plurality of features, including a par time feature, a number of shots feature, and an auto restart feature.

A shooting score identifying method and device, and an electronic device are provided. The method includes the steps of capturing a picture of a shooting operation on target paper to acquire a shooting image formed on the target paper; forming a thermal imaging image of the target paper after the shooting image is acquired; performing target identification on the shooting image to obtain a target image related to a shooting point, and performing direction correction on the shooting point present in the target image to obtain a correction image; and performing interference removal processing on the correction image through the thermal imaging image to obtain an identification image, thereby identifying a shooting score based on the identification image.

A firearm front sight post that is comprised of a camera assembly which captures an image or video, or a series of images or videos of what is in front of the firearm at the instant that the firearm is first fired, and at the instant that each and every subsequent shot is fired. The camera assembly is actuated by an actuation mechanism in communication with the trigger assembly of the firearm, and is activated when the trigger wall is met in the act of pulling the trigger of a firearm. The system is also comprised of a wireless transmitter that automatically sends the image/video from the camera assembly to a mobile application on a smartphone or other smart device, wherein the images/videos are encrypted, time-stamped and dated.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to recording devices coupled to guns that are configured to record events. In an embodiment, a gun-mounted recording device comprises: a sensor configured to: sense the gun is in use; and send an activation signal to a recording device in response to sensing the gun is in use. Further, the recording device is communicatively coupled to the sensor, wherein the recording device is configured to: transition from a lower-power state to a higher-power state in response to receiving the activation signal, wherein the recording device records wherein the higher-power state; and record at least one aspect of the gun's environment in response to transitioning from the lower-power state to the higher-power state.
