...and the unboxing video, where Sean installs the new training simulator on their main gun and try it out:
It's a very clever design: since these large AA guns are aimed by IR camera anyway, the simulator is simply be a tablet with an IMU and trigger switch. The IMU figures out where the gun is pointed, and the software simulates where the bullets would go if you had been shooting for real. The tablet itself just straps on in front of the screen the IR camera would be connected to.
_Far_ cheaper than a purpose built simulator. With the advantage that they can train while on position, whenever nothing is happening:
