Abstract
A method and apparatus for firearm training simulator which simulates realistic recoil of conventional firearms. The method and apparatus incorporates a linear motor and controllable mass for generating recoil. One embodiment includes an adjusting system for adjusting the amount of recoil provided. Also provided are means for simulating semiautomatic and/or full automatic operation of firearms. One embodiment can include a laser emitter which simulates the path for a bullet fired from a firearm that the method and apparatus is simulating.
Claims17
A simulation system, comprising:
- a body;
- a linear motor including a sliding mass, the linear motor attached to the body;
- a mechanical stop;
- and
- a controller in communication with the linear motor and controlling movement of the sliding mass,
- wherein the controller communicates an impulse value to the linear motor and the motor drives the sliding mass against the mechanical stop transferring a reaction force proportionate to the impulse value to the body.
3 more elements
A system, comprising:
- a body;
- a linear motor attached to the body, the linear motor controlling a sliding mass;
- and
- a controller that controls the movement of the sliding mass such that the sliding mass produces a force on the body.
1 more element
A system, comprising:
- a body;
- a linear motor attached to the body, the linear motor controlling a sliding mass;
- and
- a controller that controls the movement of the sliding mass such that the sliding mass produces a force on the body corresponding to preprogrammed effect.
