Laser Tag. They use those sensors in training to pick up infra red beams representing enemy fire. Probabaly has some on the back of his uniform too. Any pics that show the end of his rifle? Have a red device on it?

Sounds logical... And that's why they don't show the end... This way it looks more realistic...

Here, look at this:

Here´s a newer system, the swiss SIMUG.

The system is TASI (Taistelijan simulaattori = Fighter Simulator) a Laser training system used by FDF, It's about to be replaced by newer modification that increases the realism of the system

I believe that the US uses a system known as M.I.L.E.S (multiple laser engagement system) for laser tag training

Yeah... I know MILES from the game Americas army...

here is a pic from the new version of finnish simulator, it is called KASI (kaksi suuntainen simulaattori, two way simulator). This comes from that that system uses two way data link allowing such things as realistic undirect firing. it is allso lighter and more compact than the older TASI.

allso a better pictures of the older TASI system, those guys allso seem to have casing collectors in their guns and carry training APILAS in their back

I have used those TASI things, they suck. even a leaf in front beam stops it and those tasi vest are very uncomfortable.

The British use TES, or tactical effects simulator. Like most of the other systems in use, it can be integrated with any direct fire weapon system to simulate the varying effects of different weapons. For example, a generator fitted to a tank gun will be rigged to have the capability to 'destroy' armour, while one fitted to a rifle will have no effect against armour.

The lazer is triggered by the pressure of the blank being fired, so a pulse is fired every time a round goes off. No rounds = no pulse = no effect. This system teaches the soldier to aim and conserve ammunition.

Once a human target is tagged, you must lie down and open a sealed card given to you at the start of the ex. This will tell you if you are dead or injured, and what type of injury you have. This allows accurate simulation of the treatment of casualties and the logistical problems they present.

If a vehicle is hit, the computer will designate either a 'K' (kill) kill or 'M' (mobility) kill. K kills mean that the vehicle is completely knocked out, while a M kill means that the vehicle cannot move but can use its' weapon systems. Artillery is simulated by umpires using thundies and hand-held 'god guns' that can 'kill' any target, and its' use is designated by the commanders on the ground and the accuracy of their Artillery Fire Control.

Those are air holds, they make you got faster.
