overview
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.
SIMULATED SMALL ARMS
SIMULATED RECOIL // DRY-FIRE WEAPONS
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. Laser Shot’s recoil weapons are built around real weapon components, such as triggers or feed tray covers, but are modified and stamped “not a firearm”.
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
Compatible with issued accessories. Functions with real firearm components, such as a striker (SIM M17/ SIM M18) to provide true-to-life triggers:
- Weight
- Take-up
- Break
- Reset
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
CREW - SERVED
SIMULATED CREW-SERVED WEAPONS
Laser Shot manufactures high-fidelity crew-served simulated weapons that can be added to a simulator package for marksmanship fundamentals or unstabilized gunnery training at the unit level. Simulated recoil weapons transmit weapon data back to the system and accept compressed air for the recoil system through a single umbilical into the weapon along with a data cable. Instructors can monitor the operation of simulated weapons and induce malfunctions to evaluate trainee skill levels and conduct remedial training before live-fire exercises.

Crew-served weapons training is provided using fully-sensored weapons and the Weapons Interface software. These weapons allow for the mandatory changing of fed rounds and proper cycling of weapons before returning the weapon online. Logic is programmed into the weapon interface, ensuring accurate reloading or clearing procedures. They also allow trainers to count rounds as well as create specific malfunctions.

CROSSHAIR
WEAPONS & OPTICS
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
- Realistic ballistics engine
- Conduct mission rehearsal
- Can replicate long-range engagement inside a classroom
- Train for windage, elevation, and distance factors without the need for live fire
- Multiple weapon and optic platforms can be networked together within the same scenario for collective training
- Multiple optic models available
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. Below are some of the most commonly used simulated optics and weapons. Multiple optic models are available.
Magnified view is achieved using specialized lenses within the mock optic body, allowing the shooter to focus on the projection surface.
Ideal for sniper/spotter team training and features realistic zoom and focus adjustments.
This simulated weapon features a real M24/Remington 700 action and Harris bipod for realistic precision marksmanship training.
Modified from a real weapon system, this training device mimics special-purpose rifles found in all services & elite law enforcement units.
Features functional windage and elevation turrets, as well as standard eye relief for a long range optic of its size.
Features realistic, functional button controls that alter the thermal sight picture between black-hot/white, as well as contrast. This optic is required for US Army Table-II gunnery qualification.
LS FIRES SYSTEM
WEAPONS & OPTICS
Laser Shot’s simulated binoculars enable the Forward Observer (FO) to seamlessly scan and view a 360-degree the environment on geographic/specific target locations, prepare concise messages containing the six elements of a fire command and all information needed by the Fire Direction Center (FDC).
Laser Shot’s simulated LLDR features an embedded micro-display and always on an infrared laser that will accurately calculate the distance from the soldier to the target in the virtual world. All input controls will feature true-to-life functionality for maximum realism.
Laser Shot’s simulated IZLID is a compact and lightweight device used for pointing and marking targets in VBS3 with an embedded infrared laser. All input controls will feature true-to-life functionality for maximum realism.
CURVE SCREEN
THE IMMERSIVE SCREEN SYSTEM
Laser Shot’s Curve simulators have modernized the immersive virtual training industry by utilizing a curved, seamless screen, providing an uninterrupted image, and offering the most realistic virtual firearms training experience.
Immersive training replicates the training a warfighter would receive on a traditional shooting range. This offers a large variety of military targets, qualification courses, and skill drills. Warfighters can fine tune their small arms fundamentals with Skill Drills training modules as well as put themselves into realistic battlefield simulations with Virtual Battlespace 3.

Laser Shot’s C/CAT is a portable, modular barrier system that enables shooters to utilize cover and concealment, enhancing simulated and force-on-force training scenarios.
Barricades measure 4’x6’ and are built with modularity in mind. A C/CAT can be configured to replicate obstacles found in the field, such as doorways, hallways, corners, and other architectural layouts. Barriers also incorporate 2’x2’ removable panels to create apertures and windows.
Each C/CAT system is comprised of two barricades which can be set up and torn down in minutes. The entire system packs easily into a single case measuring 13’x39’ and weighs only 46 lbs.
Designed and manufactured in compliance with U.S. Army TC 3-20.40 “Dot-40” individual weapon training strategies, this core system accessory exemplifies Laser Shot’s iconic ease-of-use and portability with a convenient folding design – collapsing from 4’x6’ down to 2’x3’ for transport or storage.
Applicable to far more than qualification drills, these barricades can be arranged in the training area to simulate obstacles, doorways, hallways, corners, and windows, greatly enhancing the realism and quality of use-of-force scenarios and tactical drills.
Laser Shot has developed simulated magazines capable of adjustable round counts. When the number of shots fired equals the round count in the setting, a follower is actuated to lock the bolt or slide to the rear, replicating the physical characteristics of an empty weapon.
Officers must physically eject the magazine and press down on the actuator to reset/reload and re-insert it into the magazine well to resume firing. Each magazine replicates the weight and feel of a real magazine and features true-to-life dimensions for seamless carrying in tactical gear or duty belts for reload drills.
INCLUDED:
- Micro USB charging port
- Adjustable round counts
