A weapon simulator assembly for use by an operator in weapon simulation
training includes a simulated weapon and a simulated magazine detachably
connected to the simulated weapon at a magazine receiver. A weapon
processor is housed in the simulated weapon to monitor the number of
rounds of simulated ammunition fired in relation to the simulated
magazine. When the simulated magazine, which is identifiable by the
weapon processor, is connected to the simulated weapon, the weapon
processor will recognize the magazine by connecting with a magazine
circuit having updated operating information or by identifying the
magazine according to a magnetic signature member. The weapon processor
will thereby monitor the number of rounds of simulated ammunition fired
by a particular magazine, and disable use of the specific magazine once
the simulated magazine has used the predetermined number of simulated
rounds of ammunition.
