For years now, I’ve been pondering a technology whose time may have finally come—a “bullet-less” training gun.

Picture this. A handgun that when fired closely simulates the look, sound and feel of a real handgun, using compressed gas, and a laser.

The US Army had a system like this using blanks for years, called MILES. But instead of blanks, why not use compressed gas?

A special, laser sensitive target would be used on a range to simulate bullet holes when the trigger is pulled.

The big advantage is, of course, saving a ton of money. Thus you could practice a lot more. And you wouldn’t have to clean your gun after going to the range.

You can get a CO2 air gun 1911 which shoots .177 pellets, so you can practice cheaply in your basement.
