A firearm training system includes a training firearm, which includes a laser transmitter module that emits a laser signal along a longitudinal centerline of the barrel of the firearm in response to a mechanical wave generated from pulling the trigger of the firearm. A laser-detecting target includes a planar array of laser light detectors capable of detecting the exact location that the laser signal hits the target. The laser signal transmitted by the training firearm is preferably a modulated laser pulse that the target can easily discriminate from noise and interference. The target is connected to a computer, which reports laser hit information and keeps track of a sequence of laser hits fired by a competitor or trainee. Computer can be linked via a communications network to similar firearm training systems to enable competition between shooters at different geographic locations.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A detachable training barrel that replaces a conventional detachable barrel of a firearm to convert the firearm into a training device that emits a laser signal upon firing a blank cartridge, the training barrel comprising:a barrel-shaped member defining a substantially cylindrical bore of the training barrel, with a proximal end and a distal end;a solid wall extending transversely across the bore of the training barrel and separating the bore into a first substantially cylindrical cavity extending inward from the proximal end and a second substantially cylindrical cavity extending inward from the distal end, said first cavity serving as a firing chamber and being adapted to receive the blank cartridge, said wall preventing forward discharge toward the distal end upon firing of the blank cartridge; anda removable laser module extending into said second cavity, said laser module emitting the laser signal in response to a mechanical wave sensed from the firing of the blank cartridge in said first cavity.
