Claim:
A firearm training device, comprising: a gun-resembling apparatus having a gunstock and a barrel; a sight device mounted on the barrel and being aligned with a sight line of said barrel; a trigger mounted along said gunstock; an image capturing assembly on said gun-resembling apparatus and being operatively connected to said trigger, said image capturing assembly being adapted to capture into memory at least one image in the sight line of said barrel when said trigger is operated; a safety switch on said gun-resembling apparatus and being operatively connected to said image capturing assembly, said safety switch having a safe position and a fire position, the safe position of said safety switch being characterized by disabling the trigger and thereby preventing said image capturing assembly from capturing an image when said trigger is operated; and the fire position of said safety switch being characterized by enabling the trigger and thereby permitting said image capturing assembly to capture at least one image when said trigger is operated; and an image display connected to said image capturing assembly, said image display being adapted to display from memory at least one of said images captured by said image capturing assembly; wherein the image display is enabled, when the safety switch is in the safe position, to thereby permit display of at least one of said images captured by said image capturing apparatus with the safety switch in the fire position, and wherein the image display is disabled, when the safety switch is in the fire position, to thereby prevent display of captured images so that the user is unable to view captured images when the safety switch is in the fire position.
