Apparatus for conversion of a firearm into a compressed gas powered firearm simulator for simulating shooting including a simulated barrel unit, which includes a rechargeable compressed gas reservoir therein. The reservoir in the barrel unit is rechargeable via a fill port included in the barrel unit, and a metering valve provided in the barrel unit permits the pulsed release of compressed gas from the barrel unit to simulate firing.

1. An apparatus for non-permanent conversion of a firearm into a compressed gas powered firearm simulator for simulated shooting comprising: the firearm including a combination of actual firearm components and simulated firearm components including a simulated barrel unit;the simulated barrel unit including a limited capacity, self-contained and sealingly stored compressed gas reservoir, a fill port for recharging the compressed gas reservoir and a metering valve actuated by a firing mechanism in the firearm for releasing compressed gas from the reservoir to simulate firing of the firearm; andthe barrel unit including a muzzle end supporting the fill port and a laser emitter. 2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the simulated barrel unit includes a chamber, a piston, a slide and a striker mounted in the piston and wherein a firing sequence causes movement of the striker, the striker being moved sufficiently to unseat the metering valve, whereby compressed gas is admitted from the reservoir into the chamber, causing displacement of the piston, the slide and the striker from an at rest position, thus simulating recoil, and sequentially enabling the chamber to be vented, whereby a recoil spring returns the slide, the piston and the striker to the at rest position. 3. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the simulated barrel unit includes a piston, a bolt, a chamber, a striker, and a recoil spring, and wherein a firing sequence causes movement of the striker, the striker being moved sufficiently to unseat the metering valve, whereby compressed gas is admitted from the reservoir into the chamber, causing displacement of the bolt from an at rest position, thus simulating recoil, sequentially enabling the chamber to be vented and whereby the recoil spring returns the bolt and the striker to the at rest position. 4. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the simulated barrel unit includes a barrel chamber, a piston and a recoil spring in the barrel chamber, and a striker, and wherein a firing sequence causes movement of the striker, the striker being moved sufficiently to unseat the metering valve, whereby compressed gas is admitted from the reservoir into the barrel chamber, causing displacement of the piston from an at rest position, thus simulating recoil, sequentially enabling the barrel chamber to be vented and whereby the recoil spring returns the piston to the at rest position. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: the simulated barrel unit including a tubular barrel member having a removable threaded connection with an adjacent barrel block. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising; an auxiliary rechargeable compressed gas reservoir attached to the muzzle end of the simulated barrel unit and a laser emitter being attached to the auxiliary compressed gas reservoir. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, further comprising: the simulated barrel unit including a barrel chamber, a piston in the barrel chamber having an exhaust port, and a striker movably mounted in the piston, and wherein a firing sequence causes movement of the striker sufficiently to unseat the metering valve whereby compressed gas is admitted from the reservoir into the barrel chamber, causing displacement of the piston and striker within the chamber until venting occurs via the exhaust port. 8. The apparatus of claim 1 including a barrel block having an adjustment screw and a pin provided for tolerance adjustment. 9. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the fill port for recharging is mounted in a sidewall of the simulated barrel unit. 10. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the firearm is a handgun. 11. The apparatus of claim 10 wherein the handgun includes frame, a grip portion and a trigger portion being actual firearm components. 12. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the firearm is a long gun. 13. The apparatus of claim 12 wherein the apparatus further includes a simulated bolt and a return spring. 14. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the firearm includes a simulated magazine unit housing a shot counter and an actuator to interrupt simulated firing in response to a predetermined number of simulated shots being fired. 15. The apparatus of claim 1wherein the self-contained, sealingly stored compressed gas reservoir is refilled through the fill port by a refill tank including a threaded end attached to a threaded refill mount having a refill outlet releasing compressed gas through the refill outlet which is sealingly engaged with the fill port. 16. Apparatus for non-permanent conversion of a firearm into a compressed gas powered firearm simulator for simulated shooting comprising: the firearm including a combination of actual firearm components and simulated firearm components including a simulated barrel unit:the simulated barrel unit including a limited capacity, self-contained and sealingly stored compressed gas reservoir, a muzzle end of the barrel unit having an internal threaded portion;a fill port mounted in the threaded portion and being operable for permitting recharging the compressed gas reservoir;a piston adjacent the compressed gas reservoir; anda striker movably mounted in the piston. 17. The apparatus of claim 16, further comprising: a laser emitter attached to the internal threaded portion of the muzzle end of the simulated barrel unit adjacent the fill port. 18. The apparatus of claim 16, further comprising: an auxiliary rechargeable compressed gas reservoir attached to one end of the simulated barrel unit, a laser emitter being attached to the auxiliary compressed gas reservoir. 19. The apparatus of claim 16, further comprising: the piston including an exhaust port and being movably mounted in a sleeve; anda metering valve operable for displacement in response to an impact by the striker for releasing compressed gas from the reservoir and into the piston, urging the piston and striker from the sleeve until venting occurs via the exhaust port. 20. System for non-permanent conversion of a firearm into a compressed gas powered firearm simulator for simulated shooting comprising: the firearm including a combination of actual firearm components and simulated firearm components including a simulated barrel unit:the simulated barrel unit including a first limited capacity, self-contained and sealingly stored compressed gas reservoir;a valve housing mounted in and being in fluid communication with the compressed gas reservoir;a piston adjacent the compressed gas reservoir;a movably mounted striker;a second limited capacity, self-contained and sealingly stored compressed gas reservoir attached to the first compressed gas reservoir;a conduit fluidly connecting the first and second rechargeable compressed gas reservoirs;a fill port operable for recharging the first and second rechargeable compressed gas reservoirs, the fill port being in fluid communication with the conduit; anda metering valve mounted in the valve housing, the metering valve being operable for displacement in response to an impact by the striker for releasing compressed gas from the first and second compressed gas reservoirs, through the valve housing and into the piston. 21. The system of claim 20, further comprising: a laser unit attached to the second rechargeable compressed gas reservoir. 22. The system of claim 20 wherein the fill port includes a port extending from a sidewall of the second rechargeable compressed gas reservoir. 23. The system of claim 20, further including: a sleeve insert housing the piston and the striker.
