Methods and systems for improved simulation of firearms usage

Abstract

A Reciprocating Slide Device for use with a semi-automatic pistol or rifle, which will simulate the action of the firearm by use of an electromagnet upon user activation of the trigger, and a spring that reciprocates the slide in order to reset the trigger thereafter.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for installation within a chamber of a firearm to simulate firing and for simultaneously resetting a trigger thereof, comprising:
 a power source connected to a trigger of a firearm via a switch;   a barrel rod having a magnetized end;   an electromagnet disposed between the power source and the barrel rod, the electromagnet receiving power from the power source; and   a spring disposed between the power source and the barrel rod and further disposed at least in part around the electromagnet, wherein upon activation of the trigger, the power source activates the electromagnet which repulses the magnetized end of the barrel rod in conjunction with a tension provided by the spring, and thereafter, the recoil of the firearm causes the trigger to reset.   
     
     
         2 . A method for simulating the firing of a firearm and simultaneously resetting a trigger thereof, comprising:
 connecting a power source to a trigger of a firearm via a switch, the firearm having a barrel rod including a magnetized end;   disposing an electromagnet disposed between the power source and the barrel rod,   providing power from the power source to the electromagnet;   disposing a spring between the power source and the barrel rod and further at least in part around the electromagnet; and   in response to an activation of the trigger, activating the electromagnet such that it repulses the magnetized end of the barrel rod in conjunction with a tension provided by the spring, and thereafter, the recoil of the firearm causes the trigger to reset.
