Abstract
Abstract Device for practicing aiming with a firearm at a target, which device inces an optical sighting system and an arrangement for the determination of the simulated hit position in relation to the target position. In order to achieve a direct comparison with the image of the target perceived in the optical sighting system and the point of impact, it is provided that the hit position is displayed in the optical sighting system. For this purpose, the target is recorded by a TV camera, and a corresponding monitor image is reflected into the optical sighting system.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
76 words
A firing simulator for practicing aiming with a firearm provided with a laser range finder, which simulator includes an arrangement, based on the emission and the reception of electromagnetic radiation, for the measurement of a cooperative target, the firing simulator includes means for the direct reception of said laser beam emanating from the weapon and, means for triggering the measurement process of said arrangement by said laser beam further including a built in laser beam emitter.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
76 words
A firing simulator for practicing aiming with a firearm provided with a laser range finder, which simulator includes an arrangement, based on the emission and the reception of electromagnetic radiation, for the measurement of a cooperative target, the firing simulator includes means for the direct reception of said laser beam emanating from the weapon and, means for triggering the measurement process of said arrangement by said laser beam further including a built in laser beam emitter.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
A firing simulator according to claim 1, further comprising an arrangement for the screening off of the laser beam emanating from the weapon.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
A firing simulator according to claim 1, further comprising means for transmitting the range finding echo signal received by said simulator to the range finding laser receiver on the weapon side.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A firing simulator according to claim 3, including an arrangement, triggerable by the reception of the range finding echo signal for the generation of laser radiation, and means for receiving said radiation on the weapon side.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
32 words
A firing simulator according to claim 2, comprising a laser beam emitter (16) including a distance-compensating optical system (28) for maintaining the size of the cross-section of the laser beam substantially constant.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
A firing simulator according to claim 1 adapted to be fitted on the fire screen of a gun.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
29 words
A firing simulator according to claim 1, wherein the elevation of said simulator is correctable in relation to the weapon by the superelevation of the barrel of said weapon.
