A method of firearm training includes the step of attaching a cord to a firearm and the step of attaching the cord to a frame. The frame may include two vertically oriented members oriented in parallel spaced relation. Several attachment points are disposed upon the vertical members, and the cord may be engaged with an attachment point selected from the several attachment points. The method of firearm training includes the step of tensioning the cord while aiming the firearm thereby applying a force to the firearm. In various aspects, the cord may be attached to the firearm by attaching the cord to a loop that is attached to a rail secured to the firearm. Related firearm training apparatus are also disclosed.

A method of determining a point-of-impact of a ballistic projectile comprising: within a predetermined site using a weapon comprising a barrel, a camera, and an IMU configured to provide data concerning barrel attitude: detecting a firing event associated with the weapon; obtaining metadata associated with the weapon; determining estimated pointing angles of the weapon; obtaining a reference image of the site; culling portions of the reference image not associated with the estimated pointing angles, creating a culled reference image; projecting the culled reference image onto an image plane; obtaining an image from the weapon-mounted camera, the image being centered on the pointing direction weapon at the time of firing; registering the image from the weapon-mounted camera with the culled reference image; and calculating the true pointing angles of the weapon based on the alignment of the image obtained by the weapon-mounted camera with the culled reference image.

A conversion kit for installation into weapon to replace the service barrel with a sub-caliber barrel for firing reduced energy training cartridges. The conversion kit includes a barrel sleeve, a barrel support and a collet disposed between in the barrel support for fixedly securing the barrel sleeve therein. The collet is disposed in a double tapered bore formed in the barrel support for fixedly securing the barrel sleeve at both ends of the collet into the barrel support. A flash hider, which has been removed from the service barrel, is threadably received in the barrel support and functions as a collet nut for clamping the collet onto the barrel sleeve.

An off-trigger safety training device for firearms and method of use. The off-trigger safety training device is removably attached to a firearm proximal to a trigger of the firearm. The off-trigger safety training device is positioned for longitudinal alignment with a barrel of the firearm and includes a concave recess oriented in alignment with the barrel of the firearm for receiving the operator's trigger finger. Longitudinally extending ribs protrude from a face of the concave recess permit the user to align their finger within the concave recess and receive a complementary longitudinal tactile engagement with the ribs for positive engagement of the trigger finger with the off-trigger safety training device.

When a semiautomatic rifle is live fired, it is ready to be fired again. The shooter's hands remain in the firing position, and just to the trigger finger and trigger are employed. But with dry fire practice, the shooter must cycle the rifles bolt to reset the firing pin. The shooter must move one hand from the shooting position on the rifle, the rifles along bolt is pulled back to reset the firing pin, the rifle is repositioned, a new site picture is acquired, and then the next trigger press can be accomplished. This invention replaces the rifles bolt carrier group and provides realistic muscle memory training by duplicating the action of the trigger, the feel and the sound of the release of the firing pin, and the resetting of the trigger for additional trigger activations. The invention does not interact with the rifles firing pin.

A weapon system training and firing aid comprising a shoulder bar attachment for elevating and/or traversing a weapon system is disclosed. It may have an elongate arm for attachment to the weapon system and extending in a generally rearward direction from the weapon system. Once coupled to a weapon system, it gives a user a stable method of supporting and moving the weapon system, allowing the user to quickly elevate and traverse the weapon system by giving the user an additional point of contact, for example at the shoulder or under the arm, to support and stabilize the weapon system.
