Computer peripherals for gun-use training purposes in the nature of a wireless network-connected non-firing replica gun, and downloadable computer software for mobile phones for use with the replica gun for gun-use training, sold as a unit

Abstract

An attachment firearm training device (10) for attachment to a firearm, firearm simulator, or firearm replica having a firearm body (12) includes motion detection hardware to acquire data associated with motion of the firearm body during a dry-firing or live-firing training session. The motion detection hardware includes one or more accelerometers and/or one or more gyroscopes. Other suitable motion detection hardware may also be included. A motion signal representative of actual movement of the firearm body is used to generate one or more motion path lines that are displayed on a display. Each motion path line is representative of the actual motion of the firearm body before a shot, during a shot, during recoil, and/or after recoil so a user may analyze whether desired motion of the firearm body is actually being achieved.

Abstract

A firearm system for monitoring the displacement of a firearm trigger during a trigger pull includes a firearm body including a handle and a barrel attached to the handle. A trigger is attached to the firearm body, and a position input circuit is attached to the trigger. The position input circuit emits a trigger position signal including information representative of the trigger displacement. The firearm body is in wired or wireless communication with an electronic device. The electronic device can include a monitor, or screen, for graphically displaying a trigger position indicator representative of the displacement of the trigger along one or more axes. The firearm body can include a motion sensing circuit generally adapted to detect motion of the firearm body. The motion sensing circuit can include one or more accelerometers or gyroscopes. A wireless transmitter or transceiver can be positioned on the firearm body for communicating trigger displacement information and/or firearm body motion information to the electronic device. Methods of providing firearm user input information to a firearm user are also provided.

Abstract

A firearm training system provides a firearm body having a trigger and a position input circuit. When the trigger is pulled, the position input circuit emits a two-dimensional trigger position signal that allows monitoring of the actual two-dimensional trigger pull path taken by the trigger during the trigger pull. The trigger pull path can be displayed graphically on an electronic device in real time. In other embodiments, the information associated with the trigger position signal can be stored and can be graphically viewed after the trigger pull is complete. The system provides a way to monitor trigger pull path to determine whether the trigger has been pulled laterally. By repeatedly monitoring trigger pulls using the system, a user can train to improve trigger pull technique. Also, a motion sensing circuit disposed on the firearm body can measure movement of the firearm body during the trigger pull, and a barrel displacement indicator can be graphically and numerically displayed on the electronic device corresponding to the actual barrel displacement. A method of providing firearm user input information to a user is also provided.
