Description:

A multi-purpose training device, this "gun" is effectively a camera mounted in a firearm-shaped housing, suitable for installation in a wing mount or waist-gun emplacement. When the trigger is pulled, the camera runs, with footage being taken of what the gun is aimed at, as well as an optional stopwatch (not included); after landing, the film can be analyzed by the trainers for proper lead and burst timing. Measuring 29 inches overall with a matte black finish, nomenclature plates on top and on the right side behind the folding crank, and a "round counter" on top. With a hardwood transport case, remote lines, tools, a set of detachable sights, film winding/unwinding tool, clamp-on mounting bracket, and six film reels with storage cans.

Rating Definition:

Fine, with some dust/dirt accumulated in the crevices of the camera, slight yellowing of the celluloid cover for the stopwatch, and mild handling marks overall. The case shows some damaged or detached inner dividers, with scuffing on the exterior and good accessories. The mainspring, "round counter" and trigger mechanism all appear to be in good order.
