- Hello:
-
- I am looking for information about an item I just purchased at a local
- surplus store.
- It is a laser projector designed to mount on a rifle, in this case, FN.
- and has a piezo sensor in the mount which when triggered, fires a 20
- or so msec flash of pulsed IR lased light forward. It has fine adjustments
- for aiming, an onboard 9 volt battery and a connector for some other part.
-
- It is marked "SIMFIRE" made in England in 1986.6
-
- I am guessing that a blank would trigger the laser as it is quite insensitive.
-
- Maybe a battle training aid? perhaps you also have a sensor on your body
- to register a "hit" ?
-
- any suggestions or info welcome,
- Thanks, Kevin
