Abstract: A firing butt includes a frame-like housing (1) for a target (4) with a main aperture (5) in which the target is located. A protective frame (9) overlies the housing in the direction of fire and is arranged to catch a bullet. In each case the frame (9) includes a steel plate and an elastomeric layer on the side of the steel plate remote from the housing. The elastomeric layer (16) and steel plate (15) are spaced apart and the intervening space may be filled with a layer of sand (3). The elastomeric layer may be carried on a steel plate (16a).

Abstract: A target apparatus for simulating firing with a weapon which emits firing or shooting pulses. A first device serves for detecting target rings which have been hit and a second device serves for detecting target sectors which have been hit. These detection devices are mutually interconnected by an evaluation device and with a hit-indicator device. The first detection device scans the target for firing pulses by means of a revolving receiver. The revolving receiver comprises receiving elements, arranged along a radial way of the target, for the target rings. The second detection device detects the position of the revolving receiver, i.e., the sector when hit by a firing pulse.

Abstract: A system for simulating weapon firing comprising a pulse transmitter connected with a weapon for transmitting beam pulses and a target device having a hit display. The pulse transmitter comprises a calibrated adjustment device for the beam pulses in order to adjust the hit diameter at the target image plane of the target device to the caliber of the weapon.
