A weapon training system for an indirect firing weapon. The weapon training system includes a firing box including at least one processor, and a firing mechanism communicatively coupled with the firing box. Activation of the firing mechanism causes a simulated firing of the indirect firing weapon. The weapon training system also includes a round sensor communicatively coupled with the firing box. The round sensor is operable to be attached to or integrated with a round compatible with the weapon. The round is operable to be inserted into a breech of the weapon. The weapon training system further includes a breech sensor communicatively coupled with the firing box. The breech sensor is configured to detect an insertion of the round into the breech of the weapon via detection of the round sensor.

An adjustable sighting and shooting firearm mounting vise receives a firearm to assist shooters with sighting and discharging the firearm. The firearm mounting vise includes a first base support, a second base support, a pair of positional-adjustment tracks, a forend support, a stock support, a trigger actuator, a trigger switch, a controller housing, a wireless receiver, and a microcontroller. The first base support and the second base support the pair of positional-adjustment tracks. The pair of positional-adjustment tracks allows the forend support, the stock support, and the trigger actuator to translate along each positional-adjustment track to accommodate a plurality of firearms to be secured by the firearm mounting vise. The controller housing protects electrical components including the microcontroller and the wireless receiver. The microcontroller receives control signals through the wireless receiver or directly from the trigger switch to activate the trigger actuator and discharging the firearm.

Various systems, devices, processes, and techniques may be used for marksmanship training In particular implementations, motion data for a firearm may be acquired during live operation by a firearm operator using a sensor assembly coupled to a firearm. The motion data may be analyzed to detect a firing event, and the firing event may be used to pretrigger recording of the motion data. In certain implementations, the recorded motion data may be analyzed to determine inappropriate firing control actions, if any, and to provide corrective actions to a firearm operator about inappropriate firing control actions.

A turret display device is used for rapidly zeroing a riflescope. The turrets on an improved riflescope provide a turret position signal. A display of the turret display device comprises turret display cross hairs displayed relative to a target icon. When the turret display device receives a turret position signal, turret display cross hairs move to show the relative movement as indicated by the received turret position signal. When a distance is processed by the turret display device, the turret display cross hairs move to show an aiming point relative to a target icon based on the current zero of the riflescope. A computing element captures a first image and later captures a second image and compares the two images to determine a change. In some embodiments the change is used to automatically zero the riflescope. In some embodiments the change and the range is used to automatically determine an aiming point. The change is used to automatically determine wind In some embodiments the turret display device is integrated into a hand held rangefinder, smart phone, or riflescope. A riflescope having turrets which each provide a turret position signal.

There is a need in the firearm training field for a firearm that can analyze the shooter's grip, aim, position, and anything else that could affect a shooter's technique. The invention is designed to monitor the shooter's technique in real-time using motion sensors to determine any movement by the firearm or the shooter. A light based detection system also tracks the shooter's and firearm's movement by detecting the amount of time it takes for light emitted from the device to reflect back to the device. The motion detected is analyzed and converted into a haptic feedback for the device to emit to the user, usually in the form of a vibration or shaking. The shooter can interpret the haptic feedback in real-time and correct their shooting technique without having to interrupt their shooting session.

A method of firearm training includes the step of attaching a cord to a firearm and the step of attaching the cord to a frame. The frame may include two vertically oriented members oriented in parallel spaced relation. Several attachment points are disposed upon the vertical members, and the cord may be engaged with an attachment point selected from the several attachment points. The method of firearm training includes the step of tensioning the cord while aiming the firearm thereby applying a force to the firearm. In various aspects, the cord may be attached to the firearm by attaching the cord to a loop that is attached to a rail secured to the firearm. Related firearm training apparatus are also disclosed.
