MK1 virtual sniper

The MK 1 Virtual Sniper system is employed by Australian Special Forces to train teams in sniper techniques as well as other skill sets which include battlefield commentary, over watch and pattern of life observation. The Virtual Sniper's main advantage over other weapon training systems is that it attaches to the soldiers own service weapon, allowing an unprecedented level of virtual training.
