Abstract: An apparatus for training a shooter of an optically aimed, projectile-firing weapon includes head gear adapted to be worn by the shooter. The head gear carries a housing, a beam splitter mounted to the housing, and an adjustment mechanism for positioning the beam splitter in front of a dominant eye of the shooter so that the beam splitter is operable to divide an image of the target into a first beam portion oriented toward the shooter's eye, and a second beam portion oriented in a different second direction. A camera is mounted on the head gear in line with the second direction for generating a video signal from the second beam portion. A remote monitor is connected to the camera for displaying a video image from the video signal. A hole through which the shooter aims can be adjusted in diameter to facilitate initial aiming.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method may simulate the operation of a demobilization instrument such as a taser, using, for example, a taser launching device with a cartridge to enable generation and firing of a plurality of simulated projectile probes. A plurality of laser events may be emitted at a simulated target. The events may be validated as valid laser pulses, the simulated projectile probe strike locations and identities may be determined, and an automated reaction may be generated. A laser system may be contained in a cartridge separable from a taser launching device or other holder.
