Abstract: A system and method for mounting large caliber guns with a laser emitter is disclosed. The laser emitter mounting system includes an elongated tubular member for insertion into a gun chamber. The elongated tubular member is compressively secured within the gun bore. A mounting surface for a laser emitter and a breech assembly detachably engaged with the elongated tubular member by an anti-roll plate.

Abstract: A sub-caliber in-bore device placed within a launching structure of a larger caliber weapon system used to simulate the firing and ballistic trajectory of a larger and relatively more expensive weapons round. The said device essentially comprises a smaller caliber weapon subsystem with recoil suppression mounting subsystem, traverse and elevation adjustment subsystem, firing circuit delay timer, and an electrical connection subassembly to allow communications with the launching system. This invention provides an accurate, realistic, and cost-effective training experience to the operator.
Abstract: A combination anti-rotation and counter-recoil device for a sub-caliber barrel positioned inside a larger caliber barrel gun which utilizes a plate attached to the flat base of the tubular member simulating the cartridge case within the larger caliber gun and is held in position by two arms preventing rotation of said member and also a spring loaded piston is provided which engages an opening in the plate which provides for counter-recoil force after each firing.
