Simulated Firearm Having A Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System

Abstract

According to one embodiment of the disclosure, an apparatus that simulates a firearm includes a simulated firearm housing and a multiple integrated laser engagement system (MILES) device. The simulated firearm housing simulates the appearance of an actual firearm. The MILES device is housed in and integrated within the simulated firearm housing. A MILES circuit portion detects a triggering event. A transmitter transmits a MILES signal in response to the triggering event, the MILES signal representing a bullet fired from the actual firearm.
