	FM3-22.9 Appendix A Training Aids And Devices
		The assistant places the Riddle device on the front sight assembly and adjusts the plastic plate at the direction of the firer until he reports the proper sight picture.
		The M16 sighting device (Figure A-3) is made of metal with a tinted square of glass placed at an angle.
		The rifle holding device and rifle holding box are positioned on level ground, or are secured by sandbags or stakes to ensure the rifle does not move during the firing of the three shots.

	Photosensitive cartridge for weapons zeroing and marksmanship training - Patent 4653760
		A marksmanship training device according to claim 1, wherein said switch means further comprises a switch to continuously generate a scoring signal in response to light quanta activation of said photo-sensitive detector and a trigger activated microswitch for generating a scoring signal of predetermined duration in response to light quanta activation of said photo-sensitive detector.
		In this specific switch setting, the signaling device 40 will emit a continuous sound as long as light quanta 42 continue to activate the photo-detector 12, that is, as long as the firearm remains in correct alignment with the light emitting target.
		The continuous activation of the signaling device 40 is an especially good training aid to teach the user a proper "sight picture" and to practice holding the firearm steadily on the target, as well as to "zero" the weapon.

	Pipsqueak Pistol That Never Was
		Because it was necessary to mount the device into the receiver of the rifle itself, an ejection port had to be cut into the left side of the receiver and the sear mechanism of the ‘03 had to be modified to release the firing pin of the Device once the trigger was pulled.
		The device itself was held into the action utilizing a specially designed Magazine Cut Off, and the sear of the Pedersen Device was triggered by a special “tripper sear” that replaced the normal sear of a standard M1903 Rifle.
		When firing the rifle with the Device in place, the magazine stuck out of the right side of the receiver at a 45°, and the rifle was fired in a conventional fashion.

	Laser hit indicator using reflective materials - Patent 4086711
		This invention relates to marksmanship training devices and more particularly to marksmanship training devices using a laser emitter at the firing point and a reflective target and detector at the aiming point to provide efficient hit indication at the target means.
		A laser emitter device is mounted on a weapon or firearm which is bore-sighted such that normal aiming of the firearm or weapon, if correctly done, will cause the emitted laser energy from the laser device to impinge upon a given target area at which the weapon or firearm has been aimed.
		The laser 14 is pulsed by a pulser device 20 of a type well known in the art which in turn is energized from a standard type battery pack 22.

	Sub-target rifle shooting training devices
		This device is one of many which evolved to that end, not least of which was the setting up of the Society of Miniature Rifle Clubs.
		It is an instrument that records not only the actual result of a shot made at a mark, but the position of the Rifle during the process of aiming and at the moment of pulling the trigger, and thus demonstrating to the instructor the reasons for a hit or miss on the objective target.
		Another phase in the development of appliances for teaching marksmanship is one in which the rifle is used without ammunition.

	[No title]
		The Army, Marines and to a lesser degree the Navy, supported marksmanship training and KD ranges up through the 1970s despite the high cost, but they were searching for a technological solution.
		One of the ranges on MCB Camp Pendleton (the only 1,000-yard KD range in Southern California) was closed by the base biologist (an anti-gun hippie) because he felt the loud rifle reports would disturb the breeding habits of the California Black Vireos nesting in the nearby willows of Pulgas Creek.
		A good video game player can tear this training device up, but when a real rifle is put in his hands, the results on KD range targets are often abysmal.

		King said that marksmanship is a very perishable skill that soldiers can lose if they don't fire their weapon.
		He added that constant training is very important for everyone, especially those in a marksmanship role, because they are trusted by other soldiers to make the split-second decision and take the shot that may save someone's life.
