Abstract
An apparatus for simulated shooting is disclosed which includes a laser transmitter for directing a laser beam, as a simulated shot, towards a target; a receiver and evaluation device on the target for determining the deviation of the laser beam from the target in terms of magnitude and direction, and an impact indicating device on the target which is controllable by the evaluation device such that pyrotechnic charges are ejected in the determined direction of the deviation of the laser beam from the target and ignited so as to represent the light and smoke phenomena of the impact of a real projectile.
