Abstract: A simulated round of ammunition is configured so that it can be inserted into an actual or simulated firearm just like a regular live round of ammunition. The simulated round of ammunition includes elements that enable the simulated round of ammunition to generate a haptic effect that mimics the forces one would feel when firing a regular round of live ammunition. The simulated round of ammunition can include a linear motor, a voice coil or some other similar device which can cause a movable member to move in response to application of electric power. Movements of the movable member are used to generate the haptic effect. In some instances, the movable member may be configured to impact a mechanical stop to help generate the haptic effect.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for firearm training simulator which simulates realistic recoil of conventional firearms. The method and apparatus incorporates a linear motor and controllable mass for generating recoil. One embodiment includes an adjusting system for adjusting the amount of recoil provided. Also provided are means for simulating semiautomatic and/or full automatic operation of firearms. One embodiment can include a laser emitter which simulates the path for a bullet fired from a firearm that the method and apparatus is simulating.
