Marksmanship training apparatus
First Claim
1. Marksmanship training apparatus for a weapon having a barrel with a bore and a firing mechanism for causing gas to be propelled down the bore, said marksmanship training apparatus comprising:
- an electrically conductive housing member having a first end and a second end;
a muzzle alignment tube having a passageway therethrough and being operatively attached to the second end of said electrically conductive housing member, said muzzle alignment tube being structured to be capable of being inserted into the bore of the barrel;
sealing means positioned around said muzzle alignment tube at a predetermined position to minimize gas being propelled down said bore from passing between the muzzle alignment tube and the bore and to prevent the muzzle alignment tube from being pushed out of said bore by said gas;
a chamber formed in the second end of said electrically conductive housing member and having an entry port to receive gas propelled down said bore and said muzzle alignment tube;
energy emitting means disposed in said electrically conductive housing member and positioned to emit energy from said first end of said electrically conductive housing member when activated;
a power source disposed within said electrically conductive housing member and connected to said energy emitting means; and
energy activation means positioned within said electrically conductive housing member and electrically connected to complete an electrical circuit through said energy emitting means, said electrically conductive housing member, said power source and said energy activation means when said energy activation means is activated to the on position when said gas enters said chamber.

Abstract
Marksmanship training apparatus is used with air guns or weapons firing blank cartridges and comprises a housing member with an attached muzzle alignment tube for insertion into the bore of the barrel of the weapon and includes sealing apparatus around the muzzle alignment tube to minimize leakage of gas between the bore and the muzzle alignment tube and to prevent the gas from pushing the muzzle alignment tube out of the bore. The housing member includes a switch which is activated by the gas to complete an electrical circuit positioned in the housing to cause light energy to be emitted from the housing member.

14. Marksmanship training apparatus for a weapon having a barrel with a bore and a firing mechanism for causing gas to be propelled down the bore, said marksmanship training apparatus comprising:
-
a housing member having a first portion and a second portion, said first portion and said second portion structured to be removably attached to form a first chamber therewithin, said first portion and said second portion each having a first end and a second end; a muzzle alignment tube having a passageway therethrough and being operatively attached to the second end of said second portion, said muzzle alignment tube structured to be capable of being inserted into the bore of the barrel; sealing means positioned around said muzzle alignment tube at a predetermined position to prevent gas being propelled down said bore from passing between the muzzle alignment tube and the bore and to prevent the muzzle alignment tube from being pushed out of said bore by said gas; and a second chamber formed in the second end of said second portion and having an entry port to receive gas propelled down said bore and said muzzle alignment tube and an exit port to allow said gas to flow to said first chamber. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
