For most people, the only difference is going to be price. With the models we carry, there is a significant cost difference between green and red lasers, so most people end up going with the less expensive option. This is perfectly fine, and most likely won't have an impact on how those people use LASR. There are a few exceptions to this rule: If you have two different weapons that you'd like to use in one drill such as a SIRT AR bolt and a SIRT pistol or want to use the SIRT pistol's take-up laser while you're using LASR or want to use the laser color to mark for two different shooters. There is a far easier and cheaper way to do this using Race Mode within LASR Classic you might want to look into getting at least one weapon with a green shot indicating laser. LASR Classic has a feature called Laser Color Detection, which (assuming lighting conditions are optimal) can differentiate between green and red lasers, and label shots accordingly. You can find more information about Laser Color Detection in the LASR Online Tutorial. If you're planning on using the laser training aides for force on force or other applications not involving LASR Classic or LASR X, (or you are using LASR software in an unsupported manner, such as with a projector a green laser will be the better option. Green lasers tend to be quite a lot brighter than red ones, so they travel farther without dissipating and don't get washed out by other lights quite as easily. They are also a lot easier to spot for force-on-force applications.

Regular dry-fire practice with most firearms means resetting your firearm for every shot. Introducing LASR to this is very beneficial with the added feedback and functionality. If you really feel you want a resetting trigger, there are options: We recommend you get a SIRT Pistol, or, for an AR-15, a SIRT AR Bolt. Both of those are great training aides and offer an auto-resetting trigger. Of course, if you have a revolver, you could also get a Laser Ammo Revolver Pro Pack. If you have a manual action, such as a pump or bolt action, then the Laser Ammo inserts and adapters will do nicely and be functionally correct. If you have a resetting trigger of some sort in your firearm already, such as a double action or double-strike capability, these will usually provide a resetting trigger (although not perfect for DA/SA weapons) when used with the Laser Ammo inserts. Please note that it is your responsibility to understand how your firearm functions. There are also the Aimtech resetting trigger magazine kits, but only for certain pistols, and they are a final-sale option as the manufacturer is no longer around to provide support. Resetting trigger kits for Glocks: They can be expensive, time consuming to install/uninstall (you will end up wanting to get a dedicated firearm for them), and worst of all, the trigger take-up, break, overtravel, and reset are incredibly inconsistent, even on the same firearm, even from shot to shot. We don't feel that they offer any training value, and in fact, may even have negative training value. That is why we don't offer them. If you were/are considering this route, we would strongly advise you to consider the SIRT pistol. It offers a fully adjustable, auto-resetting trigger which is pretty realistic, and will end up saving you a lot of time and money. We will not and do not offer any products in this shop that we do not personally recommend. Period. If you are still determined to use a resetting trigger kit for your Glock, you can find them from a wide variety of places. Doing an internet search will reveal several options. There are no other options that we know of, but we're always watching the market for new offerings.

Normally, LASR uses the typical 30 FPS that normal webcams provide, and that works just fine with regular laser training aids. There is no need for anything higher. This is relatively easy for most computers to do. Accurately and reliably detecting laser impacts from recoil laser training aides is a different story. The mechanical movement of recoil laser training aids causes the laser to move very quickly after the shot, or the laser emitter is just set to a very short duration. Either way, very high frame rates are required to accurately and reliably detect laser impacts from these devices. When using recoil laser training aids, the LASR Advanced Camera can run at up to 200 frames per second. Again, regular webcams are 30 FPS. Your computer not only needs to work harder just to get and display this image, but LASR must ask more of your computer to do nearly 7 times the work that it normally would, just to keep up with shot detection at that high frame rate.

Normally, LASR uses the typical 30 FPS that normal webcams provide, and that works just fine with regular laser training aids. There is no need for anything higher. Accurately and reliably detecting laser impacts from recoil laser training aides is a different story. The mechanical movement of recoil laser training aids causes the laser to move very quickly after the shot, creating a large dash, or the laser emitter is just set to a very short duration to avoid creating a dash. A regular webcam, when used with a recoil device, will do one or both of the following: 1.) Not detect the majority of impacts because the impact is too short of a duration, and the webcam cannot see them. 2.) Not detect impacts accurately because the dash is too large and too fast, and the webcam cannot see where they first appeared. These are significant and unpredictable inaccuracies that cannot be ignored, compensated for, or predicted. The LASR Advanced Camera allows LASR to run at extremely high frame rates much faster than a regular webcam (or any type of camera) can do. This higher frame rate means that LASR is receiving many more "pictures per second" of your targets and the laser impacts than normal and can use that data to accurately and reliably detect laser impacts from recoil laser training aids. The Advanced Camera, when used with recoil training aids, also changes a number of background functions in LASR, and modifies our shot detection methods to provide the best performance with this very high frame rate. Funny story: We actually wanted to make a video to help explain this, but we can't, because our video equipment maxes out at 30 FPS, meaning it can't show you why either.

You can use multiple devices networked together with LASR X for this purpose. Each device can watch in a different direction, or even a different room, allowing for 360-degree shooting, shoot house scenarios, and much more. Setup and use are as simple as clicking an on/off switch to on, and you can network up to 9 devices together on one account. To use this feature with LASR X, purchase your desired plan, create your account, and then upgrade your account to enable 2 or more logins.

LASR X is a web-based application and is licensed to one device at a time with a normal account. You can switch devices at any time or increase your device limit for a small fee from your account settings. LASR Classic must be installed on a computer (or other device running a supported version of Windows), and each license is limited to running on one computer at a time. If you do get a new computer, as you can move LASR to a different computer using the same installation link and license key. You can move the license once every 30 days, and plugins will migrate with the license. If you wish to run LASR Classic on two different computers regularly, you will need a second license.

Short answer: That is not a supported use. The long answer is that many of our users have been able to successfully accomplish this, by using darker colored projected images and turning the brightness way down on the projector. LASR works by detecting light: • Projectors and TVs emit light. • Moving targets or motion video is not likely to work well, as the light conditions are constantly changing in that image. LASR is not built for this use at all, so it will not project the hit locations on the image, or take a snapshot of the screen, etc, so it is not really a practical use, even if you do get it working. Working with a projector is something that we have looked at quite a bit, but we can tell you that there are no real plans to pursue this route. No projector is actually one of the major selling points of LASR. It provides easier setup and use, lower hardware costs, simpler, more reliable, and more flexible shot detection, and more focus on actually enhancing training value in reference to raw shooting skills. There are a number of companies that have been around for some time that offer projector-based systems, and they typically run from $2,000 and up. They include one or more of the following attributes: Not very user friendly, require a lot of setup time and work, don't work reliably, and require you to purchase special hardware. Given the added complexities when a projector or screen is added, the smaller market due to hardware costs, and the inherent loss of user friendliness, we would have to charge a similar amount, and would likely end up with the same problems. Our main focus for the future is improving the base software and adding more functionality through plugins.

There are two distinct "distances" that this question may refer to, and you are probably interested in both: 1. Shooter to Target Keep in mind that the shooter does not have to be close the camera at all. We have actually had the shooter a few hundred feet from the targets before, and just left the webcam up closer. As long as the laser is bright enough to be detected by the time it reaches the target, LASR will work just fine. Yes, you can have targets at different distances and different angles as long as the webcam can see them. This can be accomplished by leaving the whole computer/webcam setup closer or utilizing USB extensions. If you are utilizing extensions, make sure that they are rated for use with webcams. Longer extensions will usually require repeaters. 2. Webcam to Target The farther you get the webcam from the targets, the more targets you can fit into view, and "wider" shooting area you can have, but if you don't have the space or the need, feel free to put the webcam as close as you like. We generally recommend anything from 5 to 30 feet for most folks, target to webcam distance, but we have even gone beyond that on several occasions with no issues:

Yes, with LASR Classic using Race Mode. Or with LASR X using multiple devices with networking. To use this feature with LASR X, purchase your desired plan, create your account, and then upgrade your account to enable 2 or more logins.
