3D Target Dropper shown here with accessories.
Beyond The Range
The traditional square range can only take you so far. Urban environments are becoming increasingly volatile. The need for realistic combat training is growing. Shooters require realistic tactical training tools such as the MotoShot 3D Reactive Target Dropper for close-quarter battle, shoot house and MOUT operations.
The MotoShot 3D Target Dropper is the ideal tool for:
- SHOOT HOUSES
- MOUT SITES
- HOGANS ALLEYS
- STATIONARY BUT REACTIVE RANGE TARGETS
The MotoShot 3D Reactive Target Dropper collapses immediately upon being hit with the predetermined programmed number of hits. Hit sensing is reactive to NLTA or live-fire ammo.
3D Reactive Target Dropper System
Demonstrating the 3D Reactive Target Dropper is Instructor- Dave Spaulding, a 32-year law enforcement and private security veteran. Dave has been involved in small arms training for almost three decades. He has worked in all facets of law enforcement including patrol, investigations, undercover operations, training, and SWAT.
Product Highlights
The MotoShot 3D Reactive Target Dropper is ideal for creating a variety of shoot house scenarios. The magnetic fall bracket is able to hold your targets at varying angles and can also be mounted from the ceiling. Multiple targets can be mounted to the 3D Target Dropper creating hostage scenarios.
- Hit reactive shot response is compatible with all handgun, rifle and NTLA.
- Programmable electronic hit counting system allows you to program when the target should drop, 1-10 hits.
- The magnetic fall bracket allows the target to be positioned in all possible directions.
- All-weather design with powder coated finish, sealed connectors and durable materials makes it usable outdoors year round.
- Adjustable and multi position target brackets provide infinite target configurations.
- Portable and extremely easy to transport.
- Robot can carry standard paper, plastic or cardboard targets.
- All-weather design with powder coated finish, sealed connectors and durable materials. Capable of year-round outdoor use.
- Quick exchange battery pack for simple and easy battery replacement.
- Each 3D target weights just a few pounds and the 3D Dropper weighs under 20 lbs.
How Simunition® Rounds Interact with MotoShot Hit-Reactive 3D Targets
Simunition® training rounds—non-lethal, low-velocity projectiles used in force-on-force law enforcement training—are essential for safely building decision-making and engagement skills. However, their reduced energy presents unique challenges when used with hard plastic targets like MotoShot’s Hit-Reactive 3D Targets.
Sim Rounds vs. Plastic
Unlike live rounds, Simunition rounds have softer tips and lower velocity, which can lead to:
- Less kinetic impact, reducing the likelihood of visual feedback.
- Clothing interference, where garments absorb or deflect impact, particularly over curved areas like shoulders or limbs.
These rounds may not reliably trigger a reaction on plastic unless certain conditions are met.
What Makes MotoShot 3D Targets Different
MotoShot’s 3D targets aren’t just life-sized mannequins—they feature built-in hit-reactive zones (head, chest, center mass) that are designed to react physically when struck. While optimized for live-fire, these targets can respond to Simunition if:
- The round strikes directly on an exposed reactive zone (no clothing or padding).
- The engagement occurs at close to moderate range, maximizing impact energy.
- The target surface is kept clean and unobstructed for consistent sensor response.
This ensures that even during non-lethal scenario training, users still get immediate feedback on shot placement.
Effective, Realistic Training
When configured correctly, the MotoShot Hit-Reactive 3D Target provides a level of realism that few static targets can match. It bridges the gap between safety and effective feedback by delivering hit detection, motion response, and durability—even in Simmuntion-based drills.
To get the best results, train with unclothed target zones, at appropriate ranges, and with regular target maintenance. Combined with its modular mounting and moving platform compatibility, MotoShot offers a versatile, high-fidelity training solution.
A law enforcement officer's survival requires that he or she is able to quickly assess a situation and respond with appropriate actions.

"FLETC staff recommend that high-stress scenario based exercises should be introduced earlier and more frequently in training to improve officer capability to adapt to rapidly changing, unpredictable situations."

"I would tell other agencies it is a wonder product to use for getting on and off the trigger with realistic targets. I would recommend it for Firearms Training. The ability to have multiple targets set up with different fall rates is a great tool to train officers to get off the trigger when the target falls. Great product and easy to set up and use. I like the fact that you can use SIMS munition up to real rounds."
