Book excerpt: This report presents results of questionnaires administered to cadre during the Rifle Laser/Rimfire Adapter Evaluation (RL/RFA) conducted by the TRADOC Combined Arms Test Activity (TCATA) at Fort Jackson, S.C., during the spring of 1977. The RF/RFA test was a comparative evaluation of the training effectiveness of two training devices under conditions involving the use of four different amounts of ammunition. Pretest and posttest questionnaires were given to 71 male and female officers and NCOs. Respondents represented both Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM) committee group cadre and company cadre. The RFA was evaluated very positively and recommended for adoption in the Marksmanship Fundamentals phase of rifle marksmanship training. A notable problem with the RFA, however, was an unacceptable frequency of weapon malfunctions. The evaluation of the RL was decidedly more mixed, and its training effectiveness was not judged to be equivalent to that of live fire. There was considerable disagreement over the accuracy and sighting characteristics of the RL versus the M16 rifle. Characteristics that were frequently perceived to present training disadvantages were lack of recoil and noise, inability to determine the location of misses, and a trigger squeeze that differed from that of the M16 rifle. Cadre were also concerned about lesser safety-consciousness among trainees who train with the RL.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This research examined the Laser Marksmanship Training System's (LMTS's) capability to establish a valid weapon (i.e., M16A2 rifle) battlesight zero. A multi-phased approach was used to (a) examine the validity of an LMTS-established zero under live-fire conditions, (b) reexamine this validity using an alternative (presumably more accurate), manufacturer-recommended, LMTS zero calibration procedure, and (c) assess the degree of correspondence between LMTS point of aim and live bullet strike location under stabilized weapon conditions. Only 27% of LMTS-zeroed weapons were found to have confirmable live-fire zeroes, with no benefit resulting from use of the alternative zero calibration procedure. LMTS's aiming point also did not correspond to bullet strike location. Weapon quality was suggested to be a major factor contributing to this lack of correspondence. These findings indicate that an LMTS-established weapon zero may not always correspond to, and thus should not be substituted for, a live-fire-established weapon zero. Consequently, soldiers should not attempt record fire qualification with an LMTS-zeroed weapon without first confirming zero with live ammunition. Range time and ammunition savings resulting from the use of LMTS-zeroed weapons should be modest at best, given the relatively low percentage of LMTS-zeroed weapons found to have valid zeroes. Additional research is underway to examine the feasibility of using LMTS for marksmanship training and evaluation."--Stinet.

Download or read book Predicting Rifle and Pistol Marksmanship Performance with Laser Marksmanship Training System written by Monte D. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "To develop an LMTS-based tool for predicting small arms, live-fire marksmanship qualification performance, Idaho Reserve Component (RC) soldiers fired for qualification on LMTS and on the live-fire range with either the M16A2 rifle (N =95) or M9 pistol (N =81). A statistically significant relation between LMTS and live-fire qualification scores was found and validated for both rifle (r = .55) and pistol (r = .47) and then used to develop weapon-specific tools for RC trainers to use in predicting the probability of individual soldier, first-run, live-fire, rifle and pistol qualification based on scores fired on LMTS. Use of these prediction tools will enable RC marksmanship trainers to schedule LMTS-based training more efficiently by targeting only those soldiers in need of remediation (i.e., those predicted to be unlikely live-fire qualifiers), as well as to identify when enough training has been provided (i.e., when the predicted likelihood of live-fire qualification is good). These tools also provide the RC unit commander with a set of LMTS-based, empirically derived live-fire performance standards to support (a) implementation of a competency-based rifle, as well as pistol, sustainment training program of instruction using LMTS, and (b) use of LMTS-based qualification firing in place of live-fire qualification firing when outdoor range facilities are not readily available."--DTIC.

Download or read book Using the Laser Marksmanship Training System to Predict Rifle Marksmanship Qualification written by Monte D. Smith and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To determine the relation between simulation- (Laser Marksmanship Training System LMTS) and live-fire-based rifle marksmanship performance, 186 Reserve Component (RC) soldiers from Idaho and Oregon fired for qualification on a scaled LMTS version and live-fire version of the Army's standard pop-up target qualification course. LMTS was fired under either a dry-fire mode or a Blazer (i.e., sound/recoil replicator) mode. Statistically significant positive linear relations were found (and then validated) between first-run live-fire scores and both LMTS dry-fire- (r = .50) and Blazer-based (r = .55) scores. These relations were of sufficient strength to permit development of easy-to-use tools for accurately predicting soldier chances of first-run, live-fire qualification. With these tools, RC marksmanship trainers can implement a competency- based training program where soldiers most in need of remedial training (i.e., poor shooters) can be quickly identified, and the point at which sufficient training has been provided (i.e., when first-run live-fire qualification is likely) easily determined. These tools also provide RC unit commanders with empirically derived live-fire performance standards needed to support use of LMTS in place of live-fire for rifle marksmanship proficiency validation purposes when standard pop-up target course range facilities are not readily available. Although both tools will serve these purposes, that based on LMTS dry-fire is recommended because of the added expense of firing with Blazer without an accompanying statistically significant increased predictive benefit.
