AI Technical Summary
Hunting students are unable to practice weapon handling independently at home due to lack of access to teaching aids, as they are not authorized to own firearms, limiting their training workload and dependency on school-provided resources.
A training weapon, the 'Training Weapon 98er / Blaser R8', simulates the handling of a .98 and Blaser R8 rifles with features like a pivoting lever for safety, brass slider for cocking, plastic double trigger, and locking lever, allowing realistic simulation of weapon operations.
Enables independent practice of weapon handling sequences, providing a safe and realistic training aid that mimics real weapon operations, enhancing training flexibility and effectiveness.

Abstract
Description
Reason for the invention:
[0001] To pass the weapon handling test, a hunting student must be able to operate the controls of a hunting weapon (such as the safety of a .98) in the correct sequence (e.g., first safety, then unhooking). During the test, the candidate must use real weapons. Hunting scenarios are presented.
[0002] To date, he has only been able to practice on real weapons (using snap cartridges) as part of his training during lessons at the hunting school. These conditions create the following problems:
[0003] They prevent independent practice at home, as the candidate is not yet authorized to purchase or own firearms. Therefore, the training workload cannot be expanded independently. The candidate is dependent on the training times and training materials (firearms) provided by the hunting school.
[0004] My utility model solves the specific problem of not having access to a teaching aid. Based on the features listed in the claims, the sequence of handling steps and the necessary manual activities for the two long guns to be tested, the 98 and the Blaser R8, can be determined. ® in just one item, the “Training Weapon 98er / Blaser R8 ® ". It is preferably made of wood or plastic. There is no way it can be mistaken for a real weapon.
[0005] An embodiment of the invention is described with reference to Fig. 1 explained.
[0006] The following actions can be carried out with the training weapon 98er / Blaser R8 ® in particular: Locking or unlocking the 98: The safety mechanism on the .98 is enabled, similar to a real weapon, by operating a pivoting lever (1) to the right, into the horizontal position, or to the left with the thumb and index finger. The safety is preferably implemented with a so-called "Vienna sash lock," but can also be replaced by turning off the barrel diameter and sliding on a metal ring with a soldered or welded lever. If necessary, the barrel (preferably a beechwood rod 55 cm long and 24 mm in diameter) is turned off by 1-2 mm. Cocking and uncocking for the Blaser R8 ® : The cocking and uncocking process of the Blaser R8 ® Similar to a real weapon, this is achieved by moving a slider (2) forward or backward with the thumb. The slider is preferably a brass slider used in furniture construction. Illustration of the piercing and de-piercing handle for the 98: To simulate the piercing process, only the index finger is used to grasp the rear trigger blade, and to simulate the destinguishing process, the index finger is used to grasp the front trigger blade and the ring finger is used to grasp the rear trigger blade.
[0007] The trigger is represented by a plastic double trigger (3), preferably 3D printed. It is oval and preferably has internal dimensions of 55 mm by 30 mm. The wall thickness is 3.5 mm, and it is preferably 15 mm wide. The two trigger blades are 23 mm long and oval, similar to the real weapon. They taper and have a length of 23 mm. The width is preferably 6 mm. This provides the optimal dimensions for representing the action.
[0008] A real trigger unit from gunsmith scrap can also be installed on the stock. This allows the "stacking," "de-stacking," and "firing" processes to be realistically simulated. Displaying the running control:
[0009] This is done by raising the weapon and simulating a running look. Representation of the caliber control:
[0010] This is done by reading the printed / written caliber. In Fig. 1 it is clearly visible on the barrel (.308).
[0011] Representing loading by simulating the shutter operation: The angled locking lever is either pulled backwards (Blaser R8 ® ) or pulled back and angled upwards (98). Representing repetition:
[0012] To do this, the locking lever (4) is pulled back and then pushed forward. A metallic sound similar to that of a real weapon is produced, which particularly facilitates psychomotor learning.
[0013] Further actions, not described in detail below, of the training weapon 98er / Blaser R8 ® can be practiced: Describe the condition of the weapon (e.g., safe or unlocked, etc.), get into position, demonstrate the firing process, get out of position and put the weapon down ready for use at the shooting range.

Claims
[1] Fuse 98 (1): The safety device is preferably implemented by a so-called “Vienna sash”, but can also be replaced by turning off the barrel diameter and sliding on a metal ring with a soldered or welded lever. [2] Cocking and uncocking mechanism analogous to Blaser R8 ® : Preferably realized with a brass slide (2) from furniture construction. [3] Repeating lever (4): Repeating is enabled by the repeating unit, consisting of an angled metal rod (4) with a screwed-on cap nut and a ball head (preferably a glued-on ball). The rod preferably has a diameter of 6 mm, and the ball head preferably has a diameter of 25 mm. The rod has a total length of 160 mm, of which 60 mm is angled. It is mounted in a metal guide (5) so that it can be moved forwards or backwards (similar to the Blaser R8). ®) and, due to its angle, can be moved up or down (similar to the System 98). The repeating unit (rod and guide) can be screwed to the left side (left-handed shooters) or to the right (right-handed shooters). It produces a metallic noise. The metal guide (5) is preferably implemented as a simple door hinge part. [4] Plastic trigger unit (3): The trigger is a plastic double trigger, preferably 3D printed. It is oval and preferably has internal dimensions of 55 mm by 30 mm. The wall thickness is 3.5 mm and it is preferably 15 mm wide. The two trigger blades are 23 mm long and oval, similar to the real weapon. They are tapered and have a length of 23 mm. The width is preferably 6 mm. [5] Real deduction unit (not in the drawing) By chiseling out the wooden stock (approximately 1 cm to 1.5 cm wide, approx. 6 cm long, and at least 3 cm deep) or creating a corresponding recess in the plastic stock, a real set trigger unit from gunsmith scrap can be installed. To do this, two washers or similar are welded to the set trigger unit, the set trigger mechanism is countersunk into the recess, and the unit is screwed to the washers.
