Firearm Training Apparatus and Method

摘要

This application is directed to a firearm that is functional, but is not fully functional as it is incapable of discharging ammunition, e.g., causing ammunition to ignite and discharge a bullet. Related methods, techniques, and approaches are also discussed. In embodiments, the firearm is functional, but not fully functional and it is impractical and/or irreversible to alter the firearm to make it fully functional through replacement of interchangeable parts that correspond to that particular firearm model. In embodiments, the firearm is also identifiable as being less than fully functional, e.g., it is incapable of discharging ammunition.

主权项

1. A firearm that is functional but is incapable of firing a cartridge, the firearm comprising:
a bolt including a stem, a bolt face, and a firing pin channel provided along a length of the bolt from the stem to the bolt face, the firing pin channel adapted to receive longitudinally a plug at the stem or the bolt face, wherein the bolt has a length shorter than the length of a bolt configured for use in a fully functional firearm; a firing pin including a pin stem and a pin body, wherein the firing pin does not include a needle, and when the pin body is placed coaxially inside the firing pin channel of the bolt, the pin stem projects from the stem of the bolt; and a bolt-carrier adapted to receive the bolt in a coaxial manner.
