  • Publication number: 20210333063
    Abstract: A system for providing training for the firing of a firearm incorporates a device on the firearm to measure various parameters regarding the position of the firearm relative to a target when a shot is taken. The system compares the trajectory of the shot based on the determined position of the firearm at the time the simulated round is fired with the known position of a target in order to determine the accuracy of the shot. With that information the system can determine what alterations need to be made to the shot in order to improve the accuracy for subsequent shots. The system can determine the direction of the shot and the impact point relative to the target without the need for a beam to be emitted from the device or for a camera to be incorporated within the system.

  • Patent number: 9291420
    Abstract: A simulated weapon or firearm is provided that is formed with a mechanical operating or firing mechanism similar to that of an actual firearm. The firing mechanism is formed with components found in an actual firearm that are interconnected with components of an electronic mechanism that can monitor and control the mechanical operation of the simulated firearm. This allows for the mechanical operating mechanism to function in a manner similar to that of an actual firearm, while the electronic mechanism can introduce various mechanical failures that do not otherwise occur in the electronics-only operating mechanisms of prior simulated firearms. In addition, the operational cycles of the mechanical and electronic mechanisms are synchronized to provide a highly realistic feel to the simulated weapon.

  • Patent number: 9011223
    Abstract: The present invention is a system for conducting a combat simulation game in which each player is outfitted with equipment enabling data concerning the game play ability of the player to be transmitted to a local server for use in computing a player performance data for individual players in comparison with all other players having data stored within the system. The equipment transmits various data to the server which is utilized by the server to update the player performance data in a real-time manner that can be accessed and viewed by other players from remote locations.
