ABSTRACT:
A training aid (10) for such side arms as revolvers and pistols that comprises a transmitter (18) in the form of a replaceable cylinder (14, when the weapon is a revolver) or of a replaceable insert (114, when the weapon is a pistol or similar piece) and a receiver (16), whereby the transmitter has a release (22) that is activated by the impact of the weapon's hammer (20) and causes the transmitter to emit simultaneously with the impact a brief and narrowly collimated beam (24) of infrared light, the receiver is positioned at a desired distance away and produces a signal when it receives the beam, the beam of infrared light is generated by a diode (66) accomodated in a tube, and the release is at one end of the tube and a device (68, 70, or 168) that focuses the beam is at the other end. The tube is accommodated in or consists of a housing (48 or 148) that is externally shaped like a conventional cylinder or insert and has at least two adjacent cylindrical chambers (50 and 52 or 150 and 172) with their axes (56 and 58) paralleling that (62) of the weapon's barrel, whereby each chamber accommodates a tube (64), a diode, or a system of batteries (72 and 172) and is demarcated at one end by a plate (96 or 196) that is accommodated in another chamber (84 or 184) and has the electronic circuitry (FIG. 9) for the transmitter mounted on it and whereby the three chambers constitute mutually displaced spaces enclosed in one-piece housing (48 148).
