jamiedenny Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi peeps, A client has asked me to arrange for a marksman shooting system to be installed in a new property. Has anyone used them or anything similar, any options on how good or bad they are?. I have no experience what so ever as I don't live in central London and can actually go outside. My first question is why does he want it?, for what use, a training tool or just a but of fun?. All comments welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beardo Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 http://www.marksman.se/eng_st2/eng_st2.htm looks interesting, i wonder how much it costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiedenny Posted May 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Around £20k ish. It's not really a question of cost just if its **** and essentially just a game then it might as well be a ps3. I'm not contracted as a specialist (clearly) its just in the works package but I found it strange that I have never heard of it and only Slovakian Olympic team seem to be the people buying it :-/.

fergie Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 I guess it had is useses but I prefered to be on the proper range as the rivels where HK conversions to 22 but its not the same as being outside soing it for real, However I things have moved on a bit now so I can see if the funds are avalible and you wanted one then why not I could see how it might help with mount and swing through with out leaving the house etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vipa Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 Was it of any use ? More up to date systems are used in 'shoot houses' for training police etc.. also, non frontline forces personnel also use them to do their annual firearms competence tests.. they don't use real ammunition any more! As to the OP and 'Why' I would say.. because he can! same reason that someone builds a home theatre rather than just getting a telly... because they can!

I'm off now to record the soubd of a 12g :-/. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's interesting I didn't know did not use live ammo.. As for the because they can, don't worry I get that I am the theatre guy. But when someone spends £1m on a room it's never just because. Thanks for your help. Ill pop a video up when its in and let you know how it goes. Edited May 23, 2013 by jamiedenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted May 23, 2013 Report Share Posted May 23, 2013 If the computer programme is anything like the Services Small Arms Trainer set up which analyses what you did both sides (yep, beforehand as well) of pulling the trigger and if the rest performs anywhere near as good as it looks on Beardo's link, it should be half decent.
