Patent ID: 7581954

Claim:
A firearms training simulator, comprising: a means for simulating a recoil comprising: a bolt reciprocating between a forward position and a rearward position, said bolt being biased towards its forward position, said bolt having a gas-receiving surface; a trigger assembly structured to resist forward motion of the bolt, and to permit forward movement of the bolt upon actuation of a trigger; a valve assembly structured for communication with a supply of compressed gas, the valve assembly being dimensioned and configured to discharge compressed gas rearward onto said bolt face when said bolt reaches its forward position; a laser emitter assembly structured to emit a laser upon actuation of the trigger, in a direction substantially parallel to a barrel of the firearms training simulator; whereby the firearms training simulator simulates a recoil that is enhanced to substantially the same level of recoil that is generated by a gun firing a powder-propelled projectile; wherein an activation device is operatively coupled to the bolt, and wherein the activation device is structured to actuate the laser emitter assembly upon the forward movement of the bolt.
