Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland - Tens of thousands attended the anniversary of the Berlin Air lift at Andrews A.F.B. outside of Washington D.C.. MPRI participated by demonstrating its Laser Marksmanship Training Systems (LMTS) in use by the U.S. Military. Attendees were able to experience LMTS first hand.
Rifle and pistol simulators were fired at LMTS computer targets. People from all walks of life, novice to expert shooters, were impressed with the realism of firing the M4 Air Recoil Rifle.
