Abstract
The invention relates to a device for detecting and counting live bullet shots, blank shots and dry-firing actuation of the striker for all types of semi-automatic or automatic weapons, said device being able to discriminate between said three events and comprising: an electronic circuit (5); a first sensor for detecting a movement of a part (2) of the weapon preceding a potential live bullet shot or blank shot; and a second sensor (6) for measuring recoil acceleration when the live bullet shot or blank shot has been fired.

A device for detecting and counting live bullet shots, blank shots, and dry-firing actuation of the striker for every type of semiautomatic or automatic weapon, said device being able to discriminate among these three events and comprising:
- an electronic circuit,
- a first sensor designed to detect a movement of a part of the weapon preceding a potential live bullet shot or a blank shot, and
- a second sensor designed to measure a recoil acceleration when the live bullet shot or blank shot has been fired,
- wherein the first sensor is designed to detect the movement of a part of the weapon by the variation of a magnetic field in an armature.
