A video camera and recording device integrated with a real or toy weapon
to provide video recording of the assault and aiming process of the
weapon holder in operational training, actual combat, hunting, sports and
gaming scenarios. A video camera is boresighted with the weapon, and a
video memory stores the recorded dynamic scenario, and a trigger sensor
which continually senses and records the triggering actions imposed by
the weapon holder. The trigger sensor is attached to the actual trigger
of the weapon thus enabling normal operation of the weapon. The video
camera, may be mounted internally within the bore of the weapon, such
that the external form of the weapon is not altered, thus achieving
closer operation to real life situations. The recorded trigger data is
utilized upon playback of the recorded video, enabling quick review and
scoring of the recorded aiming process for training and gaming.
