Prototype Instinctive Firing Training Device for Small Arms

Abstract

A prototype device for training skill in rapid firing of small arms by simply pointing the weapon at the target has been developed. The instinctive firing device (IFD) projects a beam of light which provides the trainee with immediate knowledge of results. Skill with the IFD is acquired quickly and transfers positively to the live ammunition situation. Safety, convenience, and cost-effectiveness of the IFD are readily demonstrable.
