Notes to answerer
Asker: As I noted to Gunso, being an ex-marine, I want to go with military jargon which I believe "live fire" covers that part, since we used to call them "live fire exercises"(with tracer rounds loaded every fifth round so you can see where you are shooting in the dark... very exciting believe me!) and since in training I don't think you would shoot at anything but a targret, what is your opinion on the elimination of the word "target" here. please give me your feed back. Thank you

Notes to answerer
Asker: I would like to go with "live fire training device". In the Marine corps we used to re fer to them as "live fire training exercises". I don't think ammunition is necessary. What do you think??

Asker: Yes, you are always out there on sunday for me aren't you? I have finished the patent (I loved this one) and was gonna go thru it again.. and yes,　I think I will go with the addition of "ammunition". Thank you both


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  KathyT: As this is for a patent, I don't think it would hurt to include ammunition. Although Asker (Roger) understands 'marine-speak,' it needs to be as descriptive as possible for a potentially broader target audience.
