Abstract:
1. An apparatus for simulating live fire shock response in a weapon, comprising: a chassis including a frame, at least one mounting structure fixedly engagable with a receiver body of the weapon, and at least one vibration attenuation structure coupling said at least one mounting structure to the frame; a first shock imparting device mounted on the frame at the first region of the frame and having a weapon engaging structure selectively moveable along a translation axis thereof; a second shock imparting device mounted on the frame at the second region of the frame and having a weapon engaging structure selectively moveable along a translation axis thereof; a first actuation unit coupled to the first shock imparting device, wherein the first actuation unit provides a signal to the first shock imparting device for causing the weapon engaging structure thereof to move along the translation axis thereof from an at-rest position thereof in a direction toward the second region end portion of the frame; and a second actuation unit coupled to the second shock imparting device, wherein the second actuation unit provides a first signal to the second shock imparting device for causing the weapon engaging structure thereof to move along the translation axis thereof from an at-rest position thereof in a direction toward the first region of the frame and, after the first signal is provided, provides a second signal to the second shock imparting device for causing the weapon engaging structure thereof to move along the translation axis thereof toward the at-rest position thereof.
