Simulated Firearms Training

Simulated firearms training involves employing a simulated version (modified in various fashions) of a real firearm, which are custom built out of actual firearms, to shoot at an image of a target or scenario. A laser mounted inside the barrel is recorded continuously as you employ the firearm, with the computer recording each shot as you squeeze the trigger. The image you're firing at is projected onto a screen or wall and the firearms' laser is recorded as it makes contact with the screen by a camera. This allows for exact data of where you hit, where you were aiming and other information.

This form of training is well known in military circles, as a support to live training. Many countries employ simulation as a method to practice fundamental principles of marksmanship in order to save on ammunition costs while maximizing the added data you can get from the systems.
