The Preliminary Marksmanship Instruction (PMI) program is a self-paced interactive courseware designed specifically for small arms development, sustainment, and qualification, while strictly adhering to the doctrines of all services. Warfighters practice grouping and advance to zeroing. When the warfighter achieves an optimum shot group, the zeroing process will walk them through adjusting physical sights on simulated weapons. Upon successful zeroing, the shooter will transition to a qualification course and qualify using all tables and appropriate rounds.

PMI supports up to four training lanes per projector/screen, quadrupling the trainee capacity of other qualification courseware titles. Multiple simulators can be networked together to create an indoor virtual training facility with higher throughput, fewer liabilities, and less time lost than the live-fire equivalent.

Virtual marksmanship training has been proven to meet or exceed the effectiveness of live-fire training in numerous studies and provides additional value such as a hearing-safe training environment where instructors can be easily heard by the entire firing line, the ability of instructors to “get up close and personal” on and in front of the firing line, and immediate data feedback to the instructor as to shot placement, timing, and even the condition of every weapon with Laser Shot’s Series 2 – SMART™ weapons.

• Immediate feedback
• Easy-to-use interface
• Scalable for higher throughput
• Accurately sized targets and scoring
• Comprehensive after-action review
• Instructor screen for real-time monitoring
• Database of individuals and training history
• Capable of augmenting live-fire qualification

Featuring virtual military targets in vivid 1080P virtual immersion, KD Range is a fundamental element of Laser Shot’s comprehensive marksmanship instruction curriculum, adhering to the doctrinal standards of military field manuals. This virtual version of real-world marksmanship instruction includes functions designed to enhance the warfighter’s training experience and provide instant feedback to the instructor, such as a responsive location of misses and hits (LOMAH) indicator in the peripheral view of the warfighter, which displays instant shot placement without the need to interrupt the sight picture.

Additionally, this powerful courseware visualizes both POA and POI (point-of-aim and point-of-impact) to help the warfighter to conceptualize the relationship between where the weapon is aimed and the impact location of the virtual bullet ballistics and distance in the virtual environment. These added features greatly reduce the amount of time required for a warfighter to become proficient with their weapon system at varied distances.

• Vivid 1080P immersive experience
• Variety of mil-spec targetry on a virtual range
• Relative target size to distance
• LOMAH indicator for instant feedback
• Wind simulation
• Ballistic simulation for multiple caliber rounds

Laser Shot Simulators are compatible with Bohemia Interactive’s Virtual Battlespace (VBS) simulation suite. They can easily integrate with networking multiple units or combine with existing client assets that utilize VBS3 or VBS4 for larger collective training exercises. VBS3/4 facilitates less expensive, more efficient live-training events by allowing service members and leaders to exercise a variety of tasks at the “crawl”, “walk” and “run” levels of proficiency. VBS3/4 enables service members and leaders to enter their training event at a higher level of readiness, reducing the resources required to achieve proficiency. The software is free to authorized users under a US Army enterprise license, so all that is required for these users is integration with Laser Shot’s simulated weapons and tracking system.

Crosshair™ technology can be adapted to any physical optic. Our team of firearm engineers are standing by to create custom training devices to meet specialized training requirements, such as Laser Shot’s simulated rifle scope, which features functioning elevation and windage turrets along with adjustable focus and zoom rings. Crosshair™ simulated weapons or optic devices contain an always-on infrared laser that the detection camera tracks for aim data. This aim data is used to produce the magnified image that is displayed in the virtual scope. In the case of weapons, when a trigger pull is sensed, a shot will be created at the aim point.

Laser Shot was the first to utilize barrel reservoir technology instead of magazine reservoirs, an innovation that was developed for many reasons. Not only can a barrel reservoir fire a complete combat load without refilling, but simulated magazine reloads become more realistic (and less maintenance-prone) without the air seal between the magazine and the weapon.

• Reliable through countless shots
• Familiar with ergonomics and assembly
• Moving action
• Milspec durability
• IR or visible laser

Laser Shot’s team of firearm specialists can convert virtually any firearm into a simulated dry-fire or recoil weapon. Some of the most common weapons include but are not limited to:

M16, M203, M110, S&W M&P, SIG P320, M240, Glock 17, M9, M249

P320 Simulated Recoil

In order to fully immerse trainees and provide unforgettable muscle memory, a comprehensive virtual training system should include realistic simulated weapons or recoil kits for real firearms. Laser Shot designs, manufactures, and assembles a variety of simulated firearms solutions ranging from sidearms to crew-served weapons at our state-of-the-art engineering facility in Sugar Land, Texas.

Laser Shot manufactures a variety of simulated weapons, both dry-fire and with simulated recoil, for firearms simulation training. Dry-fire weapons emit a visible or infrared laser when the trigger is pressed. Recoil weapons cycle the bolt through CO2 or compressed air via refillable barrel reservoirs for tetherless weapons or air compressor systems for crew-served models.
