Abstract
A small weapons simulator in which a plurality of functioning and control modules are supported by a gun body having an exterior configuration to simulate a real weapon. The functioning modules include a laser beam transmitter to synthesize the trajectory of a bullet, recoil simulating means, sound simulating means and means to develop a lifting force on the forward portion of the gun body upon trigger actuation of the trigger, the recoil means and the sound simulating means to synthesize the characteristic of muzzle-rise on discharging a projectile from a weapon.
Claims2
A small weapons simulator for marksmanship training, said simulator comprising:
- a gun body having an external buttstock, action housing, forestock and muzzle configuration resembling a weapon to be simulated;
- a transmitter supported within said body for transmitting a light beam forwardly along the barrel axis of said body;
- recoil means supported within said body to develop a rearwardly directed force impulse when actuated, said recoil means comprising a pneumatic piston-cylinder module;
- muzzle rise simulating means for developing a force upon actuation to lift the forward portion of said body;
- and
- means for simultaneously actuating said transmitter, said recoil means and said muzzle rise means, said actuating means comprising means defining a supply of compressed air to said gun body and trigger actuated valve means for actuating said piston-cylinder module.
