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.

A control module used in combination with an activation device for generating an activation signal in response to a stress exposure training event and an electrical impulse device for delivering an electrical shock to the user. The control module has a housing for being carried on the user. The module includes a controller function which sends a shock signal to the impulse device to shock the user according to prescribed shock criteria in response to an activation signal. The control module can be used with various activation devices including light-based force-on-force training or video shoot-back simulations. An operator input of the controller enables the prescribed shock criteria stored on the controller which is carried on the user to be adjusted by an operator directly at the module or remotely.

A firearm training apparatus and method provides simulated weapon realism that places higher priority to shot placement by using a culminated laser beam with specific target areas to achieve marksmanship accuracy. Trainee shooters can visually observe hits by an LED in the target area and hear an alarm sound when another trainee is hit. Stress and reaction to stress is achieved through the use of a TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) units in vests worn by the trainees. Greater realism is achieved by eliminating special safety equipment required with projectile systems, and focus on weapon accuracy and firing characteristics.

A Full-Body Inverse Kinematic (FBIK) module for use in tracking a user in a virtual reality (VR) environment. The FBIK module has an enclosure containing a power source, a plurality of active tags with lights for use by a motion tracking system to track the user, and a controller that flashes the lights in distinct patters to identify the user of the FBIK module.

When a semi-automatic weapon is live fired, it's firing pin is reset, and it is ready to be fired again. The shooter's hands remain in the firing position, and just the trigger finger and trigger are employed. With dry fire practice, the shooter must manually ratchet the slide to reset the firing pin, allowing the trigger to return to its unfired position each time a shot is simulated. This invention provides, realistic muscle memory training by duplicating the action of the trigger in normal live fire, the feel and the sound of the release of the firing pin, and the resetting of the trigger for additional trigger activation. The invention further provides components that allow use with other electronic training devices such as lasers.

Various embodiments of the present technology may provide a dry fire training device for use with a pistol having a magazine compartment and a trigger mechanism. The dry fire training device includes a magazine including a lever providing a means for interaction between the trigger mechanism and a detent reed. The lever may be configured to move between a resting position and a firing position. The magazine may also include a compression spring configured to bias the lever to the resting position. The magazine may further include a swing lock component configured to move the lever to the firing position behind the trigger mechanism when the magazine is inserted into the magazine compartment.

Provided is a multi-use laser rangefinder usable in either of hand-held and weapon-mounted modes. It includes a compact laser rangefinder (LRF) removably mountable to a weapon system and an optical aiming unit separate from a weapon system optical sighting device. The compact optical aiming unit has a point of aim viewable therethrough and is removably attachable to the rangefinder. The LRF has a point of aim adjustable to a point of aim of the weapon system when mounted and to the point of aim of the optical aiming unit when LRF is demounted and the optical aiming unit is attached to the LRF.

When a semi-automatic weapon is live fired, its firing pin is reset, and it is ready to be fired again. The shooter's hands remain in the firing position, and just the trigger finger and trigger are employed. But with dry fire practice, the shooter must remove a hand from the pistol and ratchet the slide to reset the firing pin, allowing the trigger to return to its unfired position. This must be done each time a shot is simulated. This invention provides, by incorporating a simulated ammunition magazine in the pistol's magazine compartment, realistic muscle memory training by duplicating the action of the trigger in normal live fire, the feel and the sound of the release of the firing pin, and the resetting of the trigger for additional trigger activation. This device does not require the shooter to manipulate any parts in order to make it properly interface with the pistol's trigger mechanism. It does not interact with the pistol's firing pin and does not require any alterations to the pistol such as the disassembling and the reassembling of parts after the practice session is over. It also provides internal components that allow it to be used in conjunction with other electronic training devices.
