Abstract: A small weapons simulator in which a plurality of functioning and control modules are supported by a gun body having an exterior configuration to simulate a real weapon. The functioning modules include a laser beam transmitter to synthesize the trajectory of a bullet, recoil simulating means, sound simulating means and means to develop a lifting force on the forward portion of the gun body upon trigger actuation of the trigger, the recoil means and the sound simulating means to synthesize the characteristic of muzzle-rise on discharging a projectile from a weapon.
