[email protected] FN® Expert Marksmanship Training Solution to be Showcased at CSTM 2018 (Herstal, Belgium) – April 11, 2018. Belgium-based FN Herstal, one of the world’s leading firearms manufacturers, will exhibit its FN® Expert marksmanship training system at the upcoming CSTM Conferência de Simulaçaõ e Tecnologia Militar, Brasilia, from April 23 through to 26, 2018. Designed and developed by Noptel - a fully owned FN Herstal subsidiary that specializes in innovative, optoelectronic systems -, the FN® Expert is an advanced marksmanship training solution that can be attached to rifles, carbines and recoilless rifles to provide dry, blank and live fire training for shooters and trainers operating in defense and security. Training to shoot - and therefore increase hit probability on mission - with rifles or carbines is made difficult by the lack of shooting ranges, the need to move personnel, weapons and ammunition, and the limited number of instructors. By providing shooters using a simulated (Airsoft) weapon or FN ® Expert: providing shooters their own duty weapon with instant feedback on their performance, the and instructors with a safe, effective and easy to use FN® Expert accelerates the improvement in fundamental marksmanship marksmanship training solution skills (breathing, holding, aiming, and triggering), and develops muscle memory. It also facilitates instructors’ coaching skills by providing objective tools to measure shooter performance, in real-time or after action. The FN® Expert measures rifle movement just before and during triggering, detects the shot, shows the location of both the hit and miss, and shows and analyzes the shooter’s performance in a simple, graphical and numerical way.
