The above link details how the Hamas government in the Gaza Strip conducts their shooting training using
AK-47's equipped with green lasers. They do not shoot real bullets.

These guns also mimic the recoil of a real AK, as well as the noise of a real AK.
The range is 45 yards long, but can only handle 2 shooters at a time.

They use these for 2 reasons:
1. Ammo shortage for training due to money problems and Egypt tightening border smuggling.
2. Their prior outside shooting range would attract the attention of the IDF (Israeli Defense Forces), who
would then attack the range.

Interesting...
fire green laser beams at their targets, which mimic the sound of real rifle fire when there is a direct hit.
So the targets make the sounds when hit, not the AKs?

Oh they corrected it here:
which was linked to a computer system by a cable, and aimed at a target posted on a wooden stand. As he pulled the trigger, green flashes of light could be seen on the target. The weapon crackled and popped with the sound of gunfire as he pulled the trigger. A trainer sitting to the side tracked the accuracy of his shots on a laptop.
So he is tethered to a PC? Guess that puts a lot of movement drills out.

There are few trainers such as the SIRT and Laserlyte that have the same basic idea.
