4. DESCRIPTION:

Technical Field of the Invention

[1] The present invention pertains to firearm simulators. More particularly the present invention pertains to an enhanced sensing system and a method for sensing a triggering point of a firearm weapon, a modified weapon, and a drill practice weapon.

Background of the Invention

[2] Hitherto, different types of target hitting and aiming devices have been suggested which use light to simulate the firing of a gun. Such devices though help in training aiming at a target either indoor or in an open range without actually making use of real projectiles. Such devices are however inefficient in terms of providing the real time effects generated upon actuation of a trigger of the firearm that would be generated upon using the real firearm.

[3] Conventionally, the practice or training sessions associated with firearms necessitate use of live cartridges, blank cartridges, utilization of external gas pressure mostly through a pneumatic pipe which is connected to an air compressor for the real time effect of recoil, require sufficiently sized area for firearm training and/or confine projectiles propelled from the firearm within a prescribed space and the like facilities for efficient practice of handling, shooting the firearm and practice of aiming the target. Accordingly, such sessions require firearm trainees to travel to the special training locations in order to participate in training sessions and moreover such training sessions are quite expensive since each session requires new ammunition for practicing handling and shooting of the firearm.

[4] Conventional simulator systems using laser beam as a substitute for live ammunition preferably bullets do assist in practicing of marking aimed points. However, such conventional systems lack the power of either live or blank cartridges in terms of facilitating the trainees to experience recoiling effects which the trainees bear with while handling real firearm weapons like hand-gun, rifle, shotgun, Insas 5.56 mm, AK-47, pistol and the like.

[5] Hitherto, several laser beam transmitting devices, readily mountable on to the barrel of the firearm for transmitting a light beam upon actuation of the firearm firing mechanism, are well known. The laser devices employed therein were triggered in response to an acoustical transducer detecting sound energy developed by the firing mechanism. The light beam was detected by a target having multiple light detectors embedded therein whereby indicating striking point on the targeted aim. The systems hitherto employ several other transducers for detecting various aspects of recoil once the trigger associated with the firearm is actuated. However, such known system doesn't involve all the major aspects of recoil (shock, flash, sound and vibration) simultaneously for emitting the laser beam.

[6] Typically, sensing the triggering point of a firearm has been a knotty issue with simulators. Early or late sensing could result in misfire. The conventional weapon simulators used various types of transducers for sensing the recoiling effect of the firearm but they left a big scope for false trigger. For example, weapon employing sound sensor to activate laser beam found to be influenced by external sound.

[7] Additionally, many conventional firearm simulators employed for providing training to the candidates for improvising their shooting and firearm handling skills were limited with respect to the training scenarios and firearm exercises that could be conducted. Moreover the conventional systems were not efficient to sense the accurate triggering point of the firearm thereby enabling firearm simulator to mark a point on the target accurately in an indoor training simulator and sense the point of hit in an outdoor training simulator.

[8] In light of the aforementioned systems and methods, there clearly exists a need for a system and method for sensing the accurate triggering point of a firearm simulator and that would assist to overcome or at least substantially ameliorate the disadvantages and shortcomings of the conventional systems.
