Ground Shooting and Motoshot

I can hear the voices now, “You’re going to make us shoot from the ground? But I’ll get my uniform dirty!” Often talked about but rarely trained, is ground shooting. Usually, it involves lying prone on the ground and shooting at a target. Nothing wrong with that as long as the target isn’t moving. But let’s consider for a moment the target is moving and the terrain isn’t gravel or grass. Let’s consider deep snow or even mud, the entire scenario changes.

An officer becoming decentralized is a terrifying situation, even more terrifying is trying to get back to your feet or to a position of cover with a firearm in your hands all while the Motoshot robot is bearing down on you.

It doesn’t matter if it’s snow, mud, or loose gravel the Motoshot robot is designed to operate in those conditions.

Let’s not forget that officers can also practice shooting from a variety of ground positions making the scenario as realistic as possible.
Motoshot now has the Auto Reset feature which allows for the operator to automatically reset the robot and continue the scenario or end it if the officer successfully completes the training goal. If you have any questions or would like a quote – contact us today.

".....I appreciate the great customer service!"

"Great product and easy to set up and use. I like the fact that you can use SIMS munition up to real rounds. "

"The mobility of the system was great. We were able to drive the system over all types of terrain, inclines and declines with not problems."

"MotoShot is the NEWEST innovation in firearms training for Law Enforcement"

"Thank you again for MotoShot. The officers who shoot on the system praise the fall-stop. Most realistic shooting drill or target system shot on to date."

"Every Police department should have MotoShot in their training division!"

"Just wanted to let you know that our officers are excited at the added dimension your MotoShot has given our Departments firearms training program."

"The greatest strengths of the MotoShot is the movement enabling 360° turns, especially on uneven ground. The variety of options for targets is desirable as well."

"The movement was a key component to our use of the system, most systems have targets fixed on a linear or predetermined path, which can be learned and not be a surprise."

"I just wanted to let you know the demo unit is on its way back. It was a huge success."

"I would just like to thank you. You are quick to respond to correspondence and provide assistance and you take care of business without delay. I wished other businesses/vendors would follow your lead. "

We have been loving the MotoShot Systems we purchased from you all! I have been taking it to multiple training events with various units and they all love it.

" The new part was delivered early then expected and was installed and is working properly. "
