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 firearm training barrel for a replica gun, the gun having a slide and a magazine with a follower. The barrel includes an extended or extendable member positioned or positionable to simulate the presence of one or more pellets in the magazine, whereby the replica gun can be fired even after the magazine's follower has reached the top of the magazine.

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.

A weapon effect simulation system including a fire simulation system and at least one hit simulation system. The fire simulation system includes a transmitter for transmitting electromagnetic waves to simulate real ammunition from a weapon and elements for including information in the electromagnetic waves. The hit simulation system includes both a receiver for receiving the transmitted electromagnetic waves and a processor for determining, based on received electromagnetic waves, whether a target has been hit. The fire simulation system further includes a calculator for calculating the imagined trajectory of the simulated ammunition and a processor for determining the geographical position of the weapon, and wherein the elements for including information in the electromagnetic waves are arranged so as to include information related to coordinates in the three-dimensional space for the calculated ammunition trajectory.

A system for firearm target shooting monitoring, training, and feedback includes a camera directed at the aiming point of a firearm or a firearm training device. Embodiments include a trigger sensor and a laser emitter aimed at the aiming point of the firearm or firearm training device. A computer module can analyze video captured by the camera and determine if the firearm or firearm training device was aimed at a target region at the time of a trigger pull. User performance can be monitored, recorded, tracked, and reported to the user. Training and instruction modules can provide directed instruction and training exercises for a user to work on particular skills for which the user desires to raise proficiency.

A firearm training barrel for a replica gun, the gun having a slide, a magazine configured to store pellets, and a nozzle. The barrel includes a pellet ejecting mechanism to eject pellets loaded in the magazine thereby simulating the ejection of a casing/shell.

A shooting training and game system with virtual targets is revealed. The system includes a main controller, a projection module, a lens module, and a shooting tool. The shooting tool can be a real gun or a laser gun. By hardware and software of the main controller, the projection module projects a light beam to a screen therefront to form a target image area with at least one static or dynamic virtual target. Then the lens module is aligned to the target image area for detecting and obtaining relative positions and coordinates of each shot formed on the target image area by the shooting tool. Thereby an error of each shot is calculated for evaluation of shooting accuracy. The shooting training and game system is more interesting, optional and used more efficiently.

A firearm training system provides a firearm body having a trigger and a trigger pull sensor circuit. When the trigger is pulled, the trigger pull sensor circuit provides trigger pull path data allowing monitoring of the actual two-dimensional trigger pull path taken by the trigger during the trigger pull. The trigger pull path is graphed on a predetermined map. The system provides a way to monitor trigger pull path to determine whether the trigger has been pulled laterally and/or if the firearm body has moved with respect to a longitudinal axis of the firearm body during the trigger pull. By repeatedly monitoring trigger pulls using the system, a user can train to improve trigger pull technique.

A weapons training assembly (WTA) for use with a weapon comprising: a magazine; a weapon adaptor, and a small arms transmitter (SAT), wherein one or both of the magazine and SAT comprise laser detectors, and wherein the weapon adaptor comprises one or more bolt detectors.
