A simulated firearm includes a body, a camera, a memory, and a processor. The body has a handle, a trigger, and a barrel portion. The barrel portion defines a shooting axis. The camera is coupled to the body and aligned with the shooting axis. The camera is configured to capture an image in response to actuation of the trigger. The memory is coupled to the body and stores marker data corresponding to at least one target marker. The processor is coupled to the body and configured to determine whether a portion of the image captured by the camera matches any one or more of the at least one target marker.

A device and a method for shot analysis are provided. The device includes a data acquisition module configured to determine the time of departure of a projectile from a weapon and to acquire video and spatial data relating to a targeted target; a storage and calculation module configured to analyze the acquired temporal, video and spatial data; and a data transmission module configured to transmit the analyzed data.

The invention relates to a reflector comprising a reflector cavity (110) having a front opening for receiving EMR into the reflector cavity (110) for subsequent reflection of the EMR by at least one reflector element (120) arranged within the reflector cavity (110), characterized in that the reflector further comprises a front cover (130) that has high EM R transmittance in at least parts of the EM spectrum, the front cover (130) being arranged to cover the front opening of the reflector cavity (110), and that the front cover (130) and front opening form a gastight seal (140) impermeable to gas to prevent transport of material into and out of the reflector cavity (110) through the front opening.

The present invention relates to a method 300 for facilitating simulation of a shot from a weapon, wherein the weapon is equipped with a laser device which works on the time-of-flight principle. The method comprises the step 310 of receiving an emitted coded laser pulse sequence from the weapon by a simulation device. The method further comprises the step 350 of transferring a returned coded pulse sequence which corresponds to the emitted coded laser pulse sequence back to the weapon by the simulation device. The simulation device is a range simulation device. The method further comprises the step of delaying 330 said transferring in relation to said receiving so that said delay is perceived by said weapon as a longer travel time of the emitted coded laser pulse sequence and the returned coded pulse sequence, respectively. The method further relates to a simulation device.

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.
