normaly you use the real steal weapons with a small IR / Laser unit on it.
it makes no sense that you train with a non existing weapon.
for IR guiding you use the real stuff
PAL 2000 Anti tank weapon with laser unit.
and
Carl Gustav AT gun with laser
both smaller then what the soldier in the pic is using, and in addition he does not wear any reflector himself - or I am mistaken here
Thats the DuSim (Duelsimulation) system you mean. You attach lasers to every weapon available from smalls ones for the Glock17, STG77, sniper rifles, ATat-launchers up to tank barrels. The soldiers get sensors strapped to the arms, legs, helmet, chest and back and a little gps tracker + computer strapped on the vest. You also got a little earbud, telling you if you hit someone, when you get hit, where, what hit you and if you would have survived that hit. The laser is triggered by firing a blank, so it gets pretty close to real when shooting around.
Its actually a pretty awesome system to practice with, since every weapon available can be taken into the training for some massive awesome laser phew phew fights. We once had it for a special combined training with the Jgbat.19 where they tried to ambush our leopard convoy with the PAL2000's. Well, i got to say we got taken out together with the tank infront of us pretty much within seconds after we got the laser lock warning, but the others managed to round up some shit before they got smacked too
Also we had some infantry trainings and one really awesome occasion where we simulated that the tank broke down and had to be abandoned in enemy controlled territory, so we where a 4 man group only armed with our Glock+Lasers attached, against a whole platoon of infantry trying to hunt us. Man that was super thrilling. In the end we had a shootout in a ditch in the middle of the forest and we kinda got wiped out again because we ran out ammo :/ Thou i scored 3 "kills", they where too many :<
And since its a picschur thread, here is another DuSim pic. Ulan APC + disembarking Mech. Infantry.
