1 shows two devices 1 for determining the spatial position in particular and / or the movement and / or the firing point position of weapons 2 relative to targets 3 shown. Each of the devices 1 comprises a receiving unit 4 for at least two Beams 5, 6 directed from transmitters 7, 8 of a transmitting unit 9 to the receiving unit 4 are. This receiving unit 4 comprises a sensor 10 with a measuring surface 11 for determining from impact points 12, 13 of those emitted by the transmitters 7, 8 in the direction of the measuring surface 11 Beams 5, 6. Between this measuring surface 11 and the transmitters 7, 8 can, as schematically indicated, also an optic 14, i.e. corresponding lens arrangements, for better Bundling of the incident rays 5, 6 may be provided. The receiving unit 4, the The present exemplary embodiment is purely schematic and therefore also disproportionate in size in relation to the size of the weapon 2 is shown arranged on it, can usually additionally over or under the sight of the weapon 2 or on the barrel of the same or optionally also be integrated into a telescopic sight.

The energy supply of the receiving unit 4 can be provided by an energy source arranged in the same 15, such as a battery, take place, but this energy source 15 also formed by a normal supply network for low voltage or a charger can be if the receiving unit 4 with a corresponding connection device, the can be wireless or wired, connected to the supply network or the charger is.

For data transmission and information exchange between the receiving unit 4 and A communication device 17 is arranged in an evaluation unit 16. This communication device 17 can be used for the wireless connection of the receiving unit 4 to the evaluation unit 16 be formed, but it is also possible that data cables between them both units are provided.

The evaluation unit 16 can expediently, for example, on the weapon 2 itself integrated in the stock or in the grip of the weapon 2, or arranged at a distance from the weapon 2 be, in which case the connection between the receiving unit 4 and the evaluation unit 16 or these intermediate transmitting and receiving units 9, 4 with electromagnetic Waves or by means of light signals, for example by infrared transmission can.

The advantage of the external arrangement of the evaluation unit 16 is that the weight of the Gun 2 is not changed and that the evaluation unit 16 also for example for several Firing ranges or several receiving units 4 on weapons used in parallel 2 can be used.

In an advantageous manner, however, it is also possible to use the evaluation unit 16 and the receiving unit 4 form as a structural unit. At the receiving unit 4 can expediently but of course also advantageously on the evaluation unit 16, a microphone 18 to determine the firing of the shot. Furthermore, it is possible, either on the evaluation unit 16 and / or the receiving unit 4 a pressure sensor 19 connect, the trigger of the weapon 2 and / or the trigger facing Finger of the user of the weapon 2 is assigned. In addition to the arrangement of the pressure sensor 19 on that finger which is provided for actuating the trigger of the weapon 2 is, it is also possible to mount the pressure sensor 19 on the palm of the shooter. When shooting with rifles, this pressure sensor 19 is preferably in the direction of the target front hand, which grips the weapon 2 or the rifle or holds it from below.

Around the receiving and / or evaluating unit 4, 16 or the device 1 for firing training In particular, to use firearms, it can also be advantageous to the device 1, in particular the evaluation unit 16, to assign a heart rate monitor 20 which measures the pulse of a user 21 of the weapon 2 is determined and fed to the evaluation unit 16, so that the pulse beat when displaying or calculating and determining the movement sequence of the Gun 2 can be added immediately before the shot is fired.

For the accuracy of the hit position, also the distribution of the weight of the user 21 on its feet of interest. Accordingly, it is possible that further sensors 22 for Determination of the weight distribution of the user 21 with the evaluation unit 16 or Device 1 are connected in terms of circuitry.

Of course, the connection between the receiving unit 4 and the evaluation unit 16 can be any known bus system or network can also be used.

The evaluation unit 16 is advantageously connected to a personal computer 23 via a bus system 24 and via a network 25 with display devices 26, the different users 21 of weapons 2 can be assigned in parallel. So it's like through Dashed lines indicated, also possible that several to the evaluation unit 16 schematically indicated receiving units 4 can be connected.

Of course, it is also possible within the scope of the invention, instead of one as an independent one The provided evaluation unit 16 to form an evaluation unit 16, which can be used directly in the personal computer 23. In this case, the evaluation unit 16 formed in the manner of an interface card with plug contacts, which preferably in the standard slots of the personal computer 23 or its motherboard or motherboard can be used. This makes it a compact device 1 created with a few external components and it is only necessary to use the receiving unit 4 or the sensor 10 wired or wireless with the personal computer 23 couple or another data or communication device 17 between them Creating components.

The transmission of the position signals between the receiving units 4 and the evaluation unit 16 is done with a coding or an address, so that in the evaluation unit 16 incoming signals can be distinguished from each other and that above all even if the position signals are transmitted wirelessly from the receiving unit 4 to the evaluation unit 16, incorrect transmissions and incorrect assignments are avoided can.

Different ones can also be used to determine the position of the impact points 12, 13 Beams 5, 6 can be used. Light rays are of course preferably used. Beams 27 can be emitted from transmitters 7, 8, whereby through the optics 14 or corresponding pinholes or similar from the prior art Known arrangements can be ensured that the beam 5, 6 bundled on the Measuring surface 11 strikes.

It proves to be expedient, of course, if the rays 5, 6 have a wavelength which are in an area invisible to humans, e.g. Infrared rays, since thereby the user 21 when firing with the weapon 2 through the rays 5, 6, which shine against him from the target 3, is not irritated. But it can also any other radiation, for example electromagnetic radiation, laser radiation in the invisible area or the like, are used for this purpose.

A measuring device can also be used to record additional physical functions of the shooters be intended for brain waves. This measuring device for body functions is with the Evaluation unit 16 or directly connected to the personal computer 23 in terms of circuitry. The measuring device can also be used to record stress symptoms of the shooter, such as these can occur before, during and / or after the target process. The Measuring device can be used to detect the electrical resistance of the body Protect be provided and for this purpose at least one connected to the measuring device Include electrode. This measuring device can thus also be used to detect the contact resistance between the shooter's skin and the electrode or the corresponding sensor be used. In the event of detection of a change caused by stress symptoms, in particular by increased sweating, improved skin conductivity can then lead to a increased shooter nervousness. So this measuring device can also for evaluating the physical and / or physical performance of a shooter the body-related measurement data can be used and the shooting technology Data are compared or flow into each other and thus improved analysis options represent. The measuring device can also be used to record the heart rate and / or the shooter's blood pressure.

The function of the device 1 or the receiving unit 4 according to the invention is now as follows:

The beams 5, 6 are emitted by the transmitters 7, 8, which are directed at the user 21 or the Gun 2 or the receiving unit 4 attached to this weapon 2 are directed. In doing so the transmitters 7, 8 for emitting the beams 5, 6 via the transmitter unit 9, for example from the evaluation unit 16 or the personal computer 23 or possibly another electronic control so controlled that the transmitter 8 for a short period of time between 2 ms and 20 ms, in the preferred embodiment for a period of 5 ms, is energized. This leads to the imaging of the beam 5 on the measuring surface 11 as shown in full lines in the area of the impact point 13.

After the application of the transmitter 8 has ended, the transmitter 7 is activated and sends the beam 6 shown in dash-dotted lines in the direction of the receiving unit 4. Die Time period over which this transmitter 7 is activated is now, for example, the same length as that Duration for the transmitter 8, but it can of course also be any other duration to get voted.

To determine the respective position signals in two spatial directions in an axis cross, in order to calculate the coordinates directed in the x-direction and y-direction, between a pause time is provided for the transmission of the beams 5, 6, which and software design of the receiving unit 4 and / or the evaluation unit 16 is determined, for example, however, is 2 ms to 20 ms, preferably 5 ms.

This now leads to an illustration of the cross section of the beam 6 at the point of impact 12 the measuring surface 11 and to a point of light, its position in the two spatial directions can be determined according to the x-axis and y-axis.

In the sense of the present method, it is of course also possible to do so afterwards several beams 5, 6 from different positions in relation to the target 3, in particular to the rings of the target 3, and their position in the receiving unit 4 determine what usually is the accuracy of the angular position and the exact position the weapon 2 can be increased.

Of course, it is also possible within the scope of the invention, only from the transmitter unit 9 to transmit a beam 5 or 6, via which the determination of the relative position is then carried out and / or the movement of the weapon relative to the target 3 or the target object becomes. This single beam 5 or 6 can either from the target 3 in Direction to the weapon 2 are emitted or also starting from one arranged on the weapon 2 Transmitter unit 9 are sent, as will be described in more detail below. When using a single beam 5 or 6, a display or determination of the so-called Canting of the weapon 2 is not possible.

In Fig. 1, as already shown, two devices 1 for determining the hit or firing point position and / or the movement of weapons 2 relative to targets 3 or Target objects shown during and / or after the target process.

It is now possible to have several such targets 3 in the same place or locally separated from each other, for example in different rooms of a building, or spaced from each other at all, for example on separate ones Arrange shooting ranges at different locations.

Are the targets 3, as in the latter case, locally over large distances separately, so the evaluation units 16 with a personal computer 23 via a bus system 24 or via a network 25 not only with the evaluation unit 16, but simultaneously or completely independently of one another via a network 28, for example the Internet be connected.

Are the individual shooting ranges to monitor the movement of the shooter and his Shotguns capable of real-time, so the data can be sent to a distant location at the same time transferred to another shooter.

It does not matter whether the recording of the movement of the weapon before firing the shot and / or after the shot is fired or only the hit position when shooting with sharp Ammunition or electronic shooting is determined.

If the shot is fired electronically, i.e. as a simulation, it is necessary to that a trigger 29 assigned to the trigger 29 is arranged with the Exceeding the pressure point of the trigger and thus the theoretical shot or shot release is determined. The hit position is then from the position of the weapon 2 compared to the transmitters 7, 8 arranged in the region of the target 13, or to the latter radiated rays 5, 6 determined, as is for example in WO 99/47879 A des 1 and 4 in detail, this disclosure being for Content of this application is made.

Of course, instead of connecting or networking via the Internet, it is also possible a connection via dedicated lines, mobile phones or other global or local networks build up.

Furthermore, it is of course also possible that in a competition with sharp Ammunition not only the hit position with the device 1 from the position of the weapon 2 opposite the target 3 or the transmitters 7, 8 of a transmitter unit 9 during the firing is calculated, but that in addition any, in various versions from the Device 30 known in the prior art for determining the actual point of impact or impact of the projectile is arranged on the target 3. This device 30 can for example by a microphone arrangement or any other mechanical or electronic measured value acquisition device, but also, for example, by a determination device for the hit situation by means of automatic hit evaluation according to the Description in EP 0 797 070 A2. This can result in the computational hit situation the beams 5, 6 emitted by the transmitters 7 and 8 of the actual hit position of the projectile, which is usually caused by the projectile weight, certain imbalances, possibly deviates from the theoretically calculated position due to wind, rain, etc. be determined. By the evaluation unit 16 or in this or by the personal computer 23, the data from the position of the weapon 2 with the receiver unit 4 can be used to transmit them compared to the device 30 and also compared graphically and optically on a screen 31 become.

The connection of the evaluation unit 16 or the personal computer 23 to the network 28 or the Internet is done via commercial, from the prior art in diverse Design variants of known products, for example modems, network cards or others suitable interfaces for this.

The network 28 or the Internet is used as a data transmission medium between the individual shooting ranges or between the individual, globally distributed evaluation units 16 or receiving devices 4 or between the individual devices 30 for determination the actual hit position used. The relevant hit data of the device 30 or the essential position or movement data of the receiving unit 4 either directly from the receiving unit 4 or indirectly via the evaluation unit 16 to the Hand over personal computer 23. The commercially available connected to the global network 28 Personal computer 23 then transmits the correspondingly processed data to the corresponding counterpart in the global network 28. Likewise, this staff receives Computer 23 corresponding data from a remote site in the global network 28 or from the Internet.

This remote site is usually through an Internet service provider, in particular through formed a so-called internet service provider. Via this internet service provider if necessary, the connection to the desired widely distant personal computer 23 in a distant location built up.

The shooting-relevant data can be in the form of emails or electronic Messages exchanged between the individual users, to the respective staff Computers 23 are processed and preferably also visualized there. The advantageously graphical representation and visualization is preferably done directly on the screen 31 of the personal computer 23.

When shooting at two spatially separate targets 3, it is of course possible, even only on to shoot a target 3, which is represented only optically, for example by a projector becomes. The electronic shot can be shot without live ammunition on a screen be targeted or shot, depending on which of the two shooters as the first one pulled the points earned for this. The representation The destination is carried out by the computer in the network 28 or the Internet, as well such as the evaluation and comparison of the results.

2 shows a further embodiment of a shooting range in a simplified, schematic form shown. This consists of a projection screen with a projection surface 32 or Projection plane onto which a target representation is projected via a projector 33.

To now choose freely, different shooting distances between a fixed position 34 one Protect 35 and the fixed projection surface 32 can be simulated via the Projector 33 the size of the target can be changed so as to different distances between to simulate the shooter 35 and the projection surface 32.

This change in target size to simulate different distances or Firing distances regardless of a distance 36 of the shooter 35 to the projection surface 32 can be, for example, by a displaceable and / or by a focal length changeable projector 33 take place. A movable or movable relative to the projection surface 32 Projector 33 is provided with a chassis or arranged on a chassis, as this is illustrated schematically. To generate different image sizes of the target object on the projection plane 32, the projector 33 is moved over the Moving chassis in the direction of the projection plane 32 or the distance to the projection plane 32 enlarged. Likewise, it is possible to change the lens arrangement or optics of the projector 33 to be changed in such a way that different target size representations on the Projection plane 32 are mapped. A change in the relative position of the projector 33 in relation to the projection plane is therefore not absolutely necessary in this case.

For example, a wild boar can simulate firing a shot at a distance of 300 m taking into account the distance of the shooter 35 from the projection screen 31 are shown so reduced that this simulation or shot delivery one Wild boar corresponds to the desired distance of 200 m - 300 m.

It should be noted that the distance 36 between the projection 32 and the Protect 35 is significantly less than the desired distance for the simulated shot.

According to an advantageous development, it is also possible to use a distance measuring device for automatically determining the distance 36 between the shooter 35 and the To provide target 3 or the target object. This distance measuring device can be formed in accordance with all measuring devices known from the prior art and e.g. based on the transit time of signals, for example ultrasound signals, or by a other position measuring device for the current location of the shooter 35 may be formed. This distance measuring device is with the receiving unit 4 and / or with the Evaluation unit 16 and / or connected to the personal computer 23 shown in FIG. 1. The image size then becomes a function of the measurement data of the distance measuring device of the target object changes automatically. The distance measuring device stands for this directly or indirectly with the projector 33 and is the image size of the target object depending on the respective location of the shooter 35 changed or automatically adjusted.

Of course, these arrangements can also be chosen so that they are suitable for shooting can be used with live ammunition.

As further shown in Fig. 2, the receiving unit 4 instead of the attachment to Barrel can also be integrated in the cartridge or in the barrel of the weapon 2, as this with dashed lines Lines in the weapon 2 is indicated.

Of course, it is also possible if the weapon is only available for delivery of "electronic shots" is formed without firing a sharp shot Integrate light receiver directly into the existing barrel or for weapons 2, which are also for sharp shot deliveries can be used - as can further be seen from FIG. 3 - The receiving unit 4 by a component that can be inserted into a barrel if necessary form, which can be connected via a line or wirelessly to the evaluation unit 16 can.

The receiving unit 4 or the optical sensor 10 can also in one at the barrel mouth optionally existing device for suppressing a sharp shooting emerging muzzle flash can be arranged, this muzzle flash only at Use of ammunition with propellant charges occurs and in so-called compressed air guns or air pistols no such device is required. In the case of air rifles weapons 2 working with gas pressure support can also be a similar one Device should be provided in the area of the muzzle and it is recommended that Receiver unit 4 has a larger inner diameter than the barrel of the weapon 2 having to arrange device, as indicated in Fig. 4 with dashed lines is. Especially with air rifles or air pistols, this holds against the gun barrel extended device or this tubular element in the end region of the barrel also one Part of the sighting or targeting device. This device or this tubular element is mostly detachably mounted on the barrel or screwed onto the barrel and it is therefore recommended insert or integrate the receiving unit 4 into such a tubular element. The Pipe element with the receiving device 4 can therefore also replace the original one Device to be trained in the sharp firing.

Is a real-time representation of the movement of the weapon 2 before and / or after the shot or the Presentation or evaluation of the hit position of the shot is not absolutely necessary it is also possible to use the corresponding data for later evaluation by the evaluation unit 16 on a data carrier, for example a chip card with a corresponding one Computer and storage unit to store.

This card, which may also be used at the same time to identify the shooter can then be read via a reading unit from a personal computer 23 or another computer can be read out, as shown schematically in FIG. 3 is and from the synopsis of Figs. 1 and 3 can be seen. 3 is also schematic the transmitter 29 for determining the time of the firing of the shot or the theoretical shot delivery in the "electronic shot" is shown schematically.

The evaluation unit 16 in the weapon 2 or separately from it and / or the personal computer 23 can also be provided with means for emitting sound in order to emit acoustic signals to deliver for the movement of the weapon 2 relative to the target or the target 3. For example signals that change in intensity and / or frequency can be output, depending on the quadrant of the target 3, the weapon 2 or the calculated hit point depending on the position of the weapon 2.

Through this real-time determination of the hit position based on the position of the Gun 2, it is now also possible for the visually impaired or blind people to practice shooting can exercise. After experience poorly sighted and blind people an essential have better hearing due to the different types and strength of the signals sight the target 3 and, if you suspect an exact hit position in the Pull the trigger on the center of the target 3.

As can best be seen from the enlarged detailed representation according to FIG. 4, at least a portion of the receiving unit 4 is inserted directly into the barrel of the weapon 2. On The housing of the receiving unit 4 is preferably conical or tapered educated. The conical or conical housing shape of the receiving unit 4 enables thereby that the receiving unit 4 easily in different weapons 2 with different Caliber sizes or inner diameter of the gun barrel can be used. The conical or conical housing shape of the receiving unit 4 also enables exact centering or alignment of the receiving unit 4 with respect to the theoretical The trajectory of the projectile or in relation to the theoretical shot trajectory. The exact alignment or centering the receiving unit 4 with respect to the barrel of the weapon 2 is preferred through a compressible, elastically resetting centering body according to the dot hatching supported in Fig. 4. This soft elastic centering body in the narrow or tip area of the housing of the receiving unit 4 ensures that the orientation or Alignment of the receiving unit 4 runs exactly parallel to the theoretical shot direction. It is also achieved that the longitudinal axis of the housing is exactly concentric with Aligns the center of the gun barrel. Another advantage of the soft elastic, preferred consists of foam plastic or rubber-like centering body in that no fastening devices are required and the receiving unit 4 solely by the frictional connection between the centering body and the inner wall of the barrel can be held. The exact positioning of the receiving unit 4 or the measuring surface 11 of the optical sensor 10 ensures highly accurate, unadulterated measurement data acquisition.

As can best be seen from FIG. 3, the target 3 can also be used as a so-called folding disc are trained by which a hit for the shooter and for spectators immediately recognizable. For this purpose, the receiving unit 4 can also be an optical transmitting unit include, as this by the body designed in the manner of a light emitting diode on the receiving unit 4 has been illustrated. This at least partially in the barrel of the weapon 2 integrated transmission unit for optical rays, for example infrared, laser rays or the like, is aligned or covers exactly in the direction of the theoretical firing line or floor trajectory the course of their rays is exactly the same as the trajectory of a sharp shot fired floor. This can be done for example by the alignment described above or centering measures can be achieved. The transmitter unit emits when actuated the trigger of the weapon 2, which can be detected, for example, by the sensor 29, a beam 5 for a short time or in pulses. The transmitter unit or sensor 29 guarantees thereby that the emission of the optical beam 5 can only take place for a short period of time. For this purpose, the transmitter unit or the sensor 29 is a pulse shaper or a monoflop circuit assigned and thereby an impermissible, permanent transmission of a Beam 5 prevented. The short-term, pulsed beam emission or light emission therefore exactly corresponds to a one-time shot release. If necessary, the sending unit a counting device or a counter can also be assigned to a limited, simulated Realize firing, similar to the limited available cartridges in a cartridge magazine to be able to.

The target 3 designed as a folding disc comprises a front panel with a in the Size or diameter of the through opening, which can be changed if necessary. In the shot direction behind the front panel is an adjustable or swiveling flap, over which a hit is signaled, ordered. The color of the flap and the front panel are common designed almost the same. The front panel and relative adjustable to it are preferred Flaps kept in a shade of white and impermeable to the beam 5, preferably So opaque, trained.

The light-sensitive sensor 10 is arranged behind the flap or front panel in the firing direction. The measuring surface 11 or the light-sensitive surface of the for detection of a emitted beam 5 formed sensor 10 corresponds at least to the area or size of the bullet hole in the front panel. The measuring surface 11 or the optical sensitive surface of sensor 10 has a contrasting color compared to the front panel on. The surface of the sensor 10 is dark, preferably colored black. Possibly it is also possible to place a dark, preferably black, film between the front panel and to arrange the sensor 10 or directly on the sensor 10, as this with dashed lines was hinted at. This film is for the beam 5 that can be emitted by the transmitter unit permeable so that it can strike the sensor 10.

The function of target 3 or folding disc is now as follows:

A shooter releases an electronic shot, i.e. a beam 5, by triggering the weapon 2 towards target 3 and was sufficient at the time of triggering Accuracy, then a brief pulse of radiation passes through the bullet hole the front panel and strikes the sensor 10. The one that detects this radiation pulse Sensor 10 then emits an actuating or sensor signal via a line connection an actuating device is then activated so that the flap enters the through-opening locking position is transferred. The sensor 10 can directly with of the actuator, provided an active sensor 10, i.e. a sensor with possibly power-amplified electrical pulse output is used. The actuator is preferably formed by an electromagnetic drive.

Due to the front panel impermeable to the rays 5, inaccurate shots can be fired or misses do not strike the optical sensor 10 and are thus a miss recognized. The radiation pulse emitted by the transmission unit is preferably by a bundled beam 5 formed with a diameter approximately that of a conventional projectile. The beam diameter can therefore usually be approximately 1 to 12 mm.

The device according to FIG. 3 can advantageously also be used for shooting training for the so-called biathlon sports are used.

In Fig. 5 it is shown that, for example, different shooting ranges separated from each other 37, 38 or 39 are provided which, as indicated schematically, via lines 40 or can be connected or interconnected via the Internet.

It is now also provided here that every shooter at least on the shooting range 37 and 38 can shoot at multiple targets 3.

In particular with such a sequence of shots, as for example with a sports shooter in biathlon or similar competitions, an exact evaluation of the movement the weapon 2 before and / or after the shot or the hit position both with simulated As well as being able to determine a sharp shot, the evaluation unit 16, in particular in the software, an imaginary spatial dividing line 41, 42 or 43 is defined.

The assignment of the shot to the respective target 3 is now carried out in such a way that Evaluation unit 16 or the personal computer 23 is determined, in the area of which the adjacent target 3 the theoretical hit point with the weapon 2 would be and the shot delivery or the hit situation, even if this then, for example, between the dividing lines 41 and 42, so on the middle target 3 is present because of Hit in this area is, for example, the left target 3 in FIG. 5 is assigned to the left of the dividing line 41. For a better understanding of the invention is in Area of the extreme left target 3 to the left of the dividing line 41 in FIG. 5 with a thick line a possible movement of the weapon 2 around a target point 44 is shown, the actual Firing the shot or the hit position of the weapon 2 between the dividing lines 41 and 42 lies. In the present case, however, there is an immediate deviation before firing a shot, so that this hit position is not the target 3 between the dividing lines 41 and 42, but that target 3, which is to the left of the dividing line 41, in which the Weapon 2 has moved for a long time immediately before the shot is fired. With that lies a clear miss before and could this with the measures described above be reliably recognized.

In such a method, the beams 5, 6 of the individual transmitters 7, 8 can be the same Type of light and uncoded are operated and are not deviations, distinguishing features or different controls by the evaluation unit 16 (see Fig. 1) required.

Regardless of this, however, there is also the possibility that the transmitters 7, 8 are different Differentiated frequencies of light emission, modulation or the like be, so that the respective hit position of the actually correct target 3, that of the shooter has targeted, is assigned.

In this embodiment, however, it is necessary that on each of the targets 3 two transmitters 7, 8 are arranged.

Instead of the fixed targets 3, of course, any solutions for themselves moving targets 3 are provided and used.

In some shooting sports, however, it is common to use different targets instead of targets 3 Wrestling and their evaluation only determine whether a hit in the area of the center the target 3 is actually achieved. Those known for example from biathlon Targets fold over after hitting the bullet on target 3, so that the shooter can see immediately whether a goal has been scored or not. Um now to give the shooter the opportunity to train even without a sharp shot - whereby extensive security measures in the area of the biathlon area or at Training for such sports are no longer necessary - is also provided that, as can be seen from the synopsis of FIG. 5 with FIG. 3, an embodiment to create, in addition to the existing folding mechanism in the sharp shot an electrically actuatable or controllable drive is provided for the target 3 with which via the evaluation unit 16 or the personal computer 23 or a other control device when there is a hit on the target 3 in the electronic Shot calculated, the target 3 also adjusted, expediently or is swung away or falls off.

Training with an "electronic shot" is now in the usual way Kind for the shooter possible, so that a very high reality in the practice can be achieved can. The transmission of the control signals for swinging the target away can Cables or of course wireless with radio, infrared or other known measures respectively.

Appropriately, with such a training it can also be provided that with the Drive can also be a reset of the targets 3 in the starting position, so that manual manipulation in the area of the targets can also be avoided.

After the shooters in the shooting range very special, often individually made weapons use, has recently emerged from the increasingly strict regulations for the use and storage of weapons for a sharp shot the problem that the shooter only on the secured sports grounds or in the club area can practice appropriate security measures.

In many cases it is already forbidden for the marksmen to take their rifles out of the club's premises or remove from the shooting range.

It has to be trained with secondary or imitation weapons and this is for sports shooters not a satisfactory solution.

In order to avoid this disadvantage, the invention now provides one for firing a shot a sharp shot essential part of the weapon 2, for example one Breech 45 or a cartridge 46 to be removed from the weapon 2 and kept in the club room and / or to use a mechanical blocking element which releases the shot prevented or made impossible with live ammunition, as illustrated in FIG. 3 is. So it is also possible, for example, that a corresponding one with compressed air weapons Check valve is activated, which can only be opened in the club room.

To ensure that the weapon 2 is not abused with live ammunition outside the Club premises or premises can be used, it is possible to remove the Assign component or weapon 2 contactless identification means or in these weapon parts mechanical and / or electronic security devices against unauthorized persons Integrate use.

In one case, this can be done by so-called transponders, the weapon 2 using a electronic fuse is only ready to fire if the original part of the weapon 2 in the Gun 2 is inserted.

A safety device for a firearm is therefore created, which firearm is fundamentally trained to fire a sharp shot. With a unique, distinctive The means of identification is the belonging together of parts of the Firearm detectable. It can be on the firearm or on the removable one Part of a monitoring device can be arranged, the presence of one for the Firing the absolutely necessary part of the firearm or the associated firearm itself and / or the correspondence of an identification means with that in the monitoring device stored identification means monitored. If available and / or According to the identification means (s), the firearm is released for firing.

This part of the firearm can thereby by its breech 45 and / or its firing pin and / or be formed by the cartridge for the printing medium. The means of identification is preferred by an electronic signature, for example by an identifier or formed a code.

The electronic signature can be in an electronic computer and / or memory module, e.g. be stored in a transponder and is this computer and / or memory module the component that can be removed from the firearm or the other firearm parts, for example assigned to the barrel or barrel.

This electronic / mechanical security device with the electronic signature or the electronic computer and / or memory module can also be used with the device 1 Determining the position and / or movement of the weapon and / or with its receiving unit 4 and / or evaluation unit 16 can be combined.

3, the receiving unit 4 can also be on the cartridge 46 be arranged with the printing medium for the shot delivery. In this case, the receiving unit 4 referring to the target direction in front of or below the cartridge housing placed. After the cartridge 46 in a few simple steps can be mounted exactly on the weapon 2 and also removed again, it is recommended that Cartridge 46 to be used as a carrier for the receiving unit 4. For tool-free connection the cartridge 46 with the weapon 2 have suitable parts to be coupled together Coupling devices, for example a locking and / or snap and / or Screw connection. Alternatively, it is also possible to use a cartridge 46 as a receiving housing to use for the receiving unit 4. Such an electronic replacement cartridge it is not suitable for the original cartridge to hold a print medium and this "dummy cartridge" is only used as a precise holding part for the receiving unit 4. As a result, however, it is also possible in a simple manner to fire the weapon 2 with a high degree of security and in a short time from the operational state for the sharp shooting to the state for the simulated electronic shooting and vice versa. But it is also possible those cartridges which contain a printing medium, e.g. Can absorb carbon dioxide, for example kept safe in the club house and protecting the quasi electronic Leave the replacement cartridge with the receiving unit 4 for private shooting training.

If the receiving unit 4 is arranged on the cartridge 46, it is recommended also, all electronics, e.g. the evaluation unit 16 onto and / or into the cartridge 46 to relocate. Of course, it is also possible to use the receiving unit 4 and the To design evaluation unit 16 as a one-piece, coherent structural unit.

In order to completely eliminate the risk of improper use of the weapon 2, it is also possible to design a weapon 2 or a rifle, which mainly described has electronic components or which with the external, electronic Components correspond and, from a mechanical point of view, is not suitable for firing projectiles.

To differentiate which of the targets 3 will be shot if several are next to each other are of course also mechanically adjustable in such Target 3 the dividing lines 41 to 43, as they are based on the embodiment in Fig. 5th have been explained, can be programmed.

For the sake of order, it should finally be pointed out that for a better understanding of the Device 1 of this or its components is partially out of scale and / or enlarged and / or reduced in size.

The task on which the independent inventive solutions are based can be described be removed.

Above all, the individual in FIGS. 1; 2; 3; 4; 5 shown designs and measures form the subject of independent solutions according to the invention. The related, Tasks and solutions according to the invention are the detailed descriptions can be seen from these figures.
