Abstract: A training magazine has a body configured to be removably received in the magazine well, a motor connected to the body and having a rotating shaft, an actuator operably engaged to the reciprocating action element, and operable to reciprocate the reciprocating action element, a linkage interconnecting the motor to the actuator, the linkage including a rotor operably connected to the rotating shaft and operable to rotate in response to rotation of the rotating shaft, and a link connected to the body and operably connected to reciprocate in response to rotation of the rotor to generate reciprocation of the actuator. The link is pivotally connected to the body at a first portion comprising a first end and a second portion is a second end opposite the first end. The rotor may operably engage the link at an intermediate position between the first and second ends.

Abstract: A training magazine has a body configured to be removably received in the magazine well, a motor connected to the body and operable to generate a motive force, an energy storage element operably connected to the motor and configured to store potential energy generated by the motive force, and an actuator operably engaged to the energy storage element and to the reciprocating action element, and operable to transmit the potential energy to reciprocate the action element. The reciprocating element may be a pistol slide. The energy storage element may be a spring. The spring may be a torsion coil spring having a cylindrical shape with opposed circular ends. There may be an input rotor operably connected to the motor and to a first end of the spring. There may be an output rotor connected to an output end of the spring and to the actuator.
