Benefits of technology

"The present invention is a training aid for firearms that can be used in real-time training or for recording training parameters for later analysis and debriefing. The training aid is designed to be easily manufactured in different sizes for different handheld firearms and does not require any physical projections. It utilizes an illumination source that emits visible light collinear with the firearm's barrel. The training aid can be cocked and fired in the same manner as a standard ammunition cartridge. It can be used in a training arena to manage training parameters in real-time or for recording purposes. The training aid includes a power source, an illuminator, and an actuator for controlling the illuminator. The training aid can also include a collimator for focusing the illumination. The power source can have a capacitor to limit the illumination duration, and the training aid system can include a time chip for controlling the time of illumination. The training aid is designed to be safe and effective for firearm training."

Problems solved by technology

With a standard cartridge, this causes a chemical reaction whereby the primer is burned, the extreme heat from which burning leads to the bullet being launched from the cartridge at an extremely fast speed.

Embodiment Construction

[0059]Turning now to the drawings, FIG. 1 shows a training aid insert 10 preferably including at least one hollow attachment 12. For the purpose of enhancing safety of the any user, trainer, fellow officers, range occupants and the like, training aid insert 10 is attached to, or integrally formed with a coupling element 14 for readily attaching a variety of hollow attachments 12 to training aid insert 10. Alternatively, other training aid inserts 10 can be used, including but not limited to, a bolt carrier training insert or a bolt training insert.

[0060]Preferably, coupling element 14 is selected from the group consisting of: a quick coupling, a tapped portion 16 of training aid insert 10, a screw-on portion of training aid insert 10 a magnetic coupling, an electromagnetic, and a snap-on attachment.

[0061]As shown, hollow attachments 12 includes

[0062]at least one extension 18 attached to, or integrally formed with hollow attachment 12 to readily extend hollow attachment 12 to fit any...

Abstract

A system permitting simulated firing from any hand held firearm. In particular, the present invention relates to light emitting munitions, being used as part of a system for registering “hits” during dry-fire exercises and gaming with any hand-held firearm, without any change to either the feel, or the external dimensions of the firearms.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a system permitting simulated firing from any hand held firearm. In particular, the present invention relates to light emitting munitions, being used as part of a system for registering “hits” during dry-fire exercises and gaming with any hand-held firearm, without any change to either the feel, or the external dimensions of the firearm.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There has long existed the need for a system whereby a user can train with a firearm without placing himself or others at risk of accidental discharge of the firearm. This safety imperative coincides with an added desire to limit the wear and tear on a firearm brought about by extensive firing during training. This has proven to be especially relevant to those in the law-enforcement field or military personnel requiring a high degree of firearm practice.[0003]The traditional means of firearm training, whereby a user at a shooting range fires live ammunition ...
