Simulation of tracer fire

A computer program directly loadable into the internal memory of a digital computer, comprising program code for simulating tracer fire from a weapon by means of a non-ballistic fire simulation means attached thereon, wherein the program code comprises sets of instructions for:

• projecting a light spot into a visual field of a user of the weapon such that the light spot is observable by the user when firing at a target, wherein the light spot indicates a non-ballistic estimation of a point of impact for a simulated bullet;
• turning on the light spot at a first point in time (t1) after triggering a simulated bullet;
• and
• turning off the light spot at a second point in time (t2) after triggering the simulated bullet, a switched-on interval (tON) between the first point in time (t1) and the second point in time (t2) overlapping a laser interval (Tlaser) during which at least one light pulse (P1) is transmitted from the fire simulation means to simulate the bullet fired from the weapon to the target.

A computer product in a computer readable medium having computer program code recorded thereon, wherein the program code includes sets of instructions comprising:

• first computer instructions for projecting a light spot into a visual field of a user of the weapon such that the light spot is observable by the user when firing at a target, wherein the light spot indicates a non-ballistic estimation of a point of impact for a simulated bullet;
• second computer instructions for turning on the light spot at a first point in time (t1) after triggering a simulated bullet;
• and
• third computer instructions for turning off the light spot at a second point in time (t2) after triggering the simulated bullet, a switched-on interval (tON) between the first point in time (t1) and the second point in time (t2) overlapping a laser interval (Tlaser) during which at least one light pulse (PL) is transmitted from the fire simulation means to simulate the bullet fired from the weapon to the target.
