Is a Simulator Right for You?

Firearms simulators have revolutionized the way shooters—whether law enforcement officers, military personnel, or civilians—train to improve their marksmanship and judgmental shooting skills. By integrating realistic firearms replicas, virtual environments, and immediate feedback mechanisms, simulators offer a safe, cost-effective, and highly customizable alternative to traditional live-fire training.

Laser Ammo’s Smokeless Range® is designed with input from law enforcement officers, military veterans, and professional competitive shooters, providing a comprehensive training experience for all skill levels.

What is the Smokeless Range® & it's Benefits?

The Smokeless Range® is downloadable software that simulates real-world firearm training. It provides various training modules, including basic marksmanship, customizable qualification shooting, competition shooting, and interactive shoot/don’t shoot scenarios. This makes it a versatile tool for shooters of all levels, from beginners to professionals.

Items needed to enjoy this simulator experience: 

• Laser-based or recoil-enabled firearm replicas – Simulate the weight, trigger pull, and ergonomics of real firearms.
• High-speed camera (included) – Tracks laser shots for accurate feedback. Short throw camera upgrade for smaller spaces
• Computer and projector compatibility – Can be purchased as part of a package or self-sourced to reduce costs. Windows computer and compatible projector

Marksmanship Training

Marksmanship is the foundation of effective shooting. It relies on core principles such as stance, grip, sight alignment, trigger control, and breathing. The Smokeless Range® reinforces these skills by providing precise tracking, instant feedback, and scalable drills for shooters at every level.

By allowing unlimited dry-fire practice, it eliminates expenses related to live training, such as ammunition costs, range fees, and travel. Shooters can refine their technique, improve shot grouping, and build confidence before transitioning to live-fire exercises.

Judgmental Shooting & Decision-Making

Shooting accuracy is only part of the equation. In high-pressure situations, shooters must also make split-second decisions about when to engage, whom to engage, and how to respond under stress. The Smokeless Range® offers training that builds these critical judgmental shooting skills.

Video Scenario Trainer Pro 2 (VST Pro2) Add-On

This software add-on (VST Pro) enhances the training experience by immersing users in real-world scenarios:

• 100+ interactive video scenarios – Train for situations like active shooter incidents, hostage rescues, and de-escalation.
• Custom scenario creation – Agencies can film and integrate their own locations for more realistic training.
• Instructor-led feedback – After each session, trainees can analyze their decision-making and tactical performance.

By exposing users to high-stress encounters in a controlled environment, this training enhances situational awareness, de-escalation techniques, and overall readiness.

Customizable Training for Specific Needs

The Smokeless Range® is highly adaptable, making it valuable across different sectors:

• Law Enforcement – Train for local crime trends, including carjackings and active shooters. Certification, use-of-force evaluations, and annual qualifications.
• Military Units – Simulate urban combat and insurgency scenarios. Mission rehearsals and ongoing readiness training.
• Competitive & Civilian Shooters – Improve reaction time, concealed carry skills, and shooting precision. Skill development without range restrictions or high costs.

Bridging the Gap Between Theory & Real-World Application

Traditional training often separates classroom instruction from hands-on practice. The Smokeless Range® bridges this gap by allowing trainees to safely rehearse high-risk maneuvers before performing them in live-fire conditions. This includes:

• Room clearing and dynamic entry.
• Off-handed holster draws and shooting.
• Scenario-based decision-making under pressure.

By using recoil-enabled firearms, shooters can refine their techniques in a safe setting before applying them in real-world conditions.

Additionally, the Short Throw Camera system makes the Smokeless Range® highly portable, allowing training to be conducted in classrooms, gyms, or mobile units.

Stress Inoculation Training

High-pressure environments impact reaction times and decision-making. The Smokeless Range® prepares users by replicating the physiological and psychological effects of stress:

• Simulated gunshots and loud noises (via the GunSHOT Box).
• Time-sensitive decision-making scenarios that add urgency.
• Realistic distractions such as moving threats and civilian bystanders.

Repeated exposure to these stressors helps trainees remain calm, make better decisions, and react effectively under pressure.

Enhancing Live-Fire Training

While simulators offer exceptional training value, they work best when used alongside live-fire practice. A hybrid training approach allows shooters to:

1. Develop and perfect techniques in the simulator.
2. Validate their skills with live ammunition in real shooting conditions.

A Cost-Effective Training Solution

The Smokeless Range® provides an affordable and scalable alternative to live-fire training:

• Unlimited dry-fire repetitions at no additional cost.
• Highly realistic scenarios for judgmental and marksmanship training.
• Complete training packages available for less than the cost of a few thousand rounds of live ammunition.
