Abstract: A weapon simulator assembly for monitoring correction of a malfunction of a simulated weapon having a detachably attached simulated magazine includes a central processor for generating the malfunction scenario. A weapon processor is supported in the simulated weapon in electrical communication with the central processor, with an electrical interface connecting the weapon processor with the simulated magazine detachably attached to said receiver. A sensor, such as a tap sensor or accelerometer, is in electrical communication with the weapon processor via said electrical interface, with the tap sensor or accelerometer registering a strike when a force is applied to the simulated magazine above a predetermined value.

Abstract: Device (12) for counting shots fired by an automatic firearm (11), having a cartridge chamber containing a cartridge that can be expelled through an expulsion window and a first emission means that emits a continuous electromagnetic signal in such a manner that it is interrupted by a casing expelled from the cartridge chamber which corresponds to the used cartridge. The shot-counting device (12) of the invention is capable of monitoring the number of casings expelled from a cartridge chamber of the firearm (11) via an expulsion window and showing, on a display screen, the corresponding number of shots left available in a magazine (13) fitted to the firearm (11).

Abstract: A pistol includes a carriage which receives a barrel. The carriage slides back on a handle of the pistol during discharge against the force of a return spring. The pistol includes a device for determining the number of shots fired. The device includes electronics attached to the handle and including a microprocessor with storage, a piezoelectric sensor connected to the microprocessor, a current supply, and a reading device for reading the storage, which reading device is external to the pistol. The piezoelectric sensor receives recoil impulses during discharge and sends a signal to the microprocessor in response to the impulses. The microprocessor is connected to a second sensor, which sends a second signal to the microprocessor when the carriage slides back.

Abstract: A storage compartment forming insert fits within the hollow compartment of a firearm grip assembly to create a storage compartment. The insert generally includes a base and a resilient member extending therefrom. The base defines an outer dimension that provides an interference fit within the hollow compartment. By maintaining the base under tension at the interference fit, the storage compartment is effectively impervious to water. To insert or remove objects within the storage compartment, one need only pull the base. The resilient members stretch and the open end of the grip becomes accessible.
