Live combat simulation
First Claim
1. An electric apparatus with which a person may be equipped for live combat simulation, the apparatus comprising:
- a firearm-like device provided with an infrared emitter and being configured to be fired by the person such that a first combatant infrared shot signal is output from the device in a direction in which the device is aimed;
a target receiver configured to receive a second combatant infrared shot signal from a second firearm-like device of a second apparatus if the direction of that second combatant infrared shot signal is towards the target receiver; and
a radio transmitter configured to transmit, to the second apparatus, a first combatant radio hit signal upon the target receiver receiving said second combatant infrared shot signal from the second firearm-like device of the second apparatus,the apparatus being configured to receive and process a second combatant radio hit signal emitted by a radio transmitter of the second apparatus upon a target receiver of the second apparatus receiving the first combatant infrared shot signal from the firearm-like device of the apparatus, to register that a hit has been made on another person in the simulation who is equipped with the second apparatus.

Abstract
An electric game apparatus (‘the first apparatus’) for use by a player in a live combat simulation, the apparatus including a firearm-like device, transmission means configured to transmit first and second signals, and a target receiver, the first signal being transmitted towards a target receiver of a like apparatus of another game player (‘second apparatus’) in response to firing said device when aimed at the target receiver of the second apparatus, the second signal being transmitted in response to the target receiver of the first apparatus being hit by a said first signal from a second apparatus to indicate the hit to that other player.

15. A live combat simulation system comprising a plurality of electric apparatuses with each of which a respective person may be equipped, each apparatus comprising:
-
a firearm-like device provided with an infrared emitter and being configured to be fired by the respective person such that an infrared shot signal is output from the device in a direction in which the device is aimed; a target receiver configured to receive an infrared shot signal from the firearm-like device of the other, or another, of the apparatuses if the direction of that signal is towards the target receiver; and a radio transmitter configured to transmit, to that other apparatus, a radio hit signal upon the target receiver so receiving the infrared shot signal from the firearm-like device of the other apparatus, each apparatus being configured to receive and process a radio hit signal emitted by the radio transmitter of the other, or another, of the apparatuses upon the target receiver of the latter apparatus receiving the infrared shot signal from the firearm-like device of the former apparatus, to register that a hit has been made on another person in the simulation who is equipped with the latter apparatus.
