ABSTRACT:
Marksmanship training apparatus which provides for simulated firing of projectile-type weapons is disclosed and comprises a substitute cartridge and a receiver/detector target device. The substitute cartridge is self contained and includes a power source, an energy emitting device which emits a pulse or pulses or energy with predetermined characteristics, a lens device to concentrate the emitted energy, an energy activation device and a transfer device to transfer the energy from the firing mechanism of the weapon to the energy activation device to activate same. The receiver/detector target device includes devices to detect the presence of the pulse or pulses of energy while ignoring the ambient light level surrounding the target device. The target device initiates a time cycle and provides a display of the elapsed time from initiation to the receipt of a hit from the pulse or pulses of energy emitted from the substitute cartridge in the weapon. An audio indication is also provided when a hit occurs.
