Hi, back in the eighties the Britishicon army played around with combat simulation equipment which involved the soldier wearing a vest of sensors, vehicles were fitted with similar sensors along with smoke pots. Individual weapon systems were fitted with a laser firing system which when hit the sensor on the soldiers body set off an alarm denoting he had been hit.
I recently saw a list of UIN (unit identification numbers) for the L42A1 sniper rifle and in brackets next to one of the UIN was SIMEX. I know this to be an exercise for this equipment back in 87. Does anyone have pictures or any info on the laser firing equipment for the L42 rifle????
