New forms of suppressive gunfire decoys are provided. In some aspects, a pin-pull device may be used to program and adjust several settings of the decoy devices, activating such devices immediately before deployment. In some aspects, the pin-pull device may serve as a remote control unit. In a preferred method of deployment, the devices are thrown to a location different from that occupied by the user(s), simulating another source of gunfire, distracting and misleading an enemy, and providing the effects of suppressive fire. In some embodiments, a networked computer system(s) may be used as a remote control unit, and the decoy device may include cameras and other sensors for tactical surveillance. In still other aspects, the gunfire decoy device may be capable of locomotion, and may be self-relocating in response to certain commands, or in reaction to stimuli, to confuse the enemy regarding sources of gunfire and troop locations. |

The disclosed device is based on the Thompson submachine gun. The disclosed device is specifically designed to only fire blanks, or a firearm cartridge that contains gunpowder but no bullet, shot, or projectile. Blanks can be fired in fully automatic fashion, just as a standard machine gun. Numerous features are disclosed that prevent the disclosed device from being modified to fire live cartridges. The result is a blank-firing device with the appearance of a genuine firearm, while being unable to fire live cartridges, and thus not regulated by state or federal laws, or regulations to possess, use, and/or transfer. |

Embodiments of the present invention concern a virtual hunting apparatus that employs an imaging device mounted on top of the barrel of a simulated firearm such as a rifle or other toy. A cable can be used to connect the imaging device to the trigger of the simulated firearm. An imaging device can run a variety of applications and play videos. Pulling the trigger of the simulated firearm takes a picture of a target animal, records a video or plays a video of interest within the imaging device, without displacing a bullet or pellet to injure or kill the target animal. |

A shotgun sound simulator comprises an elongated enclosed tube defining a combustion chamber into which an ignitable mixture can be combusted. The tube also includes at least one baffle and an open end having a smaller diameter than the tube. The open end permits ignited gases to escape. By controlling the ratios of the tube diameter (TI), the outlet port diameter (OP), baffle opening diameter (BH), combustion chamber length (CC); and the distance from the combustion chamber to the outlet port (RC), a simulated shotgun sound can be produced upon combustion of a gas in the combustion chamber. Conveniently, the outlet port can be made to receive a training bumper that is launched when the gas is ignited. |

A rupturable bag assembly including a balloon, an outer wall, an inlet port, and a heat resistant shield. The balloon is fabricated from an elastic material. The outer wall is disposed around the balloon, the outer wall having a perimeter seam which parts abruptly at a predetermined tension. The inlet port passes through the outer wall into the balloon for inflating the balloon to produce the predetermined tension. The heat resistant shield is disposed within the balloon opposite the inlet port. The outer wall is constructed of a relatively inelastic material in comparison to the material used to construct the balloon. There is a dispersible medium disposed within the outer wall and/or the balloon. |

A blank handling device is provided for receiving and firing a blank cartridge for use in a non-gun. The handling device includes a housing having a blank receiving chamber sized and configured for holding the blank during firing. The blank receiving chamber includes a first axis and a first diameter. A gas discharging passageway capable of being coupled to a barrel of a non-gun, is provided that has a second axis and a second diameter. A gas flow passageway is fluidly coupled to and extends between the blank receiving chamber and the gas flow passageway for conducting gasses discharged by the firing of the blank cartridge between the blank receiving chamber and the gas discharging passageway. The gas flow passageway has a third axis and a third diameter. The third diameter is less than the first diameter for preventing the passage through the gas flow passageway of a projectile discharged in the blank receiving chamber. |

Muzzle flash simulators that combine visual, audio, and thermal signals synchronized to the firing of a rifleman's weapon to obscure his position by producing the illusion that the shot came from a location other than the rifleman's actual location. The system may be deployed by placement with a removable ground penetrating spike, by use upon a tripod mounting system, by a hanger or by launching upon a projectile. The simulator is remotely operated. The simulator can be deployed as a single unit or as a set of units operating in coordination. |

A training method and apparatus are disclosed. The training method may include converting a firearm capable of firing live ammunition to a pneumatic training device incapable of firing live ammunition. The training method may further include cycling a pneumatic training device through one or more cycles. Each of the cycles may simulate an actual firing of the firearm. Each of the cycles may also include triggering a trigger assembly of the pneumatic training device, using a charge of a pressurized gas to reset the trigger assembly, and advancing a counter of the pneumatic training device. After a certain number of cycles have been completed, a next cycle may be attempted, but not completed. Accordingly, the training method may enable a user to safely and realistically practice reloading, jam or malfunction clearing, or the like. |

A bullet-free training magazine designed to simulate real firing sounds and sights. The magazine is part of a magazine assembly which includes a magazine adaptor, a push to fire (PTF) trigger shaped to fit over a regular weapon trigger and to a fire flashlight. The PTF trigger and the fire flashlight are connected physically to the adaptor through two separate electrical cables. The magazine and the adaptor are coupled electrically through matching electrical interfaces and are designed for combined insertion into the magazine housing of a weapon. The magazine adaptor includes a first section adapted to attach to a magazine insertion member and including an adaptor electrical interface, a second section with two electrical sockets connected to the electrical cables, and a mounting adaptor member for mounting the magazine adaptor to fit into the magazine housing and into a firing chamber of the weapon. |
