RTK, jbour13, jwt5,

do you know the maintenance schedule of your EST system(s)? How often do you have to reallign the laser or send the weapons back to the vendor for service?

The A2 simulators here have been having tons of problem from the last 10 months usage; misaligned laser, failure to fire/no recoil, and jammed trigger (won't go to safe even after cocked, but it will go to 3-burst. So the system always recognize the chamber as empty). The M4, OTOH, has been problem-free despite some leaky noise.

These simulators feel pretty tough-built, but anything with laser and pneumatic mechanical parts are bound to be problematic from time to time. However, if the students were really abusing them, I'm gonna make them handle real live baby before class and tell them to treat the simulator the same way.
