Abstract
A device for allowing a 25 mm or similar gun to be cycled through its automatic or semi-automatic mode without live ammunition and without interrupting each cycle because of a misfire. The device is entirely electric and requires no mechanical attachments to the gun and no adjustments of the gun. The device is portable and can be quickly and easily connected to and disconnected from the gun. The device uses signals from a source of gun control signals to develop a sear solenoid voltage which simulates signals developed by gun recoil caused by live ammunition. The simulated signals enable the gun to operate without stopping due to a misfire.
