The Big Picture: the Smokeless Range® add-ons

The Laser Ammo Smokeless Range® is the core simulator platform with 10 team building exercises including skill building drills for all levels of shooters. The add-ons expand the system from basic dry-fire marksmanship into more specialized training, including qualification prep, competition practice, use-of-force decision-making, tactical scenarios, recreational games, hunting simulation, and instructor-led training.

Think of it this way:

Smokeless Range®  = The base training platform Add-ons = Specialized training modules Elite add-ons = Higher-end, more immersive, or more advanced scenario-based modules

Clients should select add-ons based on the type of training they want to focus on: Marksmanship, Qualification, Competition, Tactical, Use-of-Force, Family/Recreational, Hunting, or Professional Instructor-led Training.

Elite Series Add-Ons

Terminal Z

Terminal Z is an Elite Series add-on designed for high-energy, immersive training and entertainment. It uses a zombie-survival style environment where the shooter must engage threats, survive waves, and advance through different stages.

This add-on is less about formal qualification training and more about engagement, reaction speed, movement, target transitions, and keeping training fun. Because it is part of the Elite Series and uses higher-end graphics, it may require a stronger computer than standard Smokeless Range® add-ons.

Best use case: Use Terminal Z when the client wants a more immersive, game-style training experience that keeps shooters engaged while still building speed, accuracy, and target acquisition.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Terminal Z turns the Smokeless Range® into a high-intensity survival-style training experience. It is a great option for users who want fast-paced, immersive practice that is both fun and skill-building.”

Hogan’s Alley

Hogan’s Alley is an Elite Series add-on built for realistic and customizable tactical scenario training. It allows instructors or advanced users to build training environments, place targets, define movement paths, and create scenarios that mirror real-world locations or tactical problems.

This is one of the most professional-style add-ons because it gives the trainer more control over the training environment. It is ideal for law enforcement, security teams, firearms instructors, and advanced users who want more than standard target drills.

Best use case: Use Hogan’s Alley when the client wants to build custom tactical scenarios, active-threat exercises, room-based layouts, or realistic decision-making environments.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Hogan’s Alley gives instructors the ability to design realistic tactical training environments. Instead of simply running fixed drills, the trainer can create rooms, place threats and non-threats, and build scenarios that match real-world training needs.”

Standard Smokeless Range® Add-Ons

Open Range 2.0

Open Range 2.0 is a customizable course-of-fire builder. It allows the user to create their own drills by placing targets, selecting backgrounds, setting target distance and size, and building courses that match their training goals.

This is one of the most versatile add-ons because it can be adapted for marksmanship, transitions, target identification, speed work, and general practice. It is especially useful for users who want variety and control instead of relying only on pre-built drills.

Best use case: Use Open Range 2.0 when the client wants to design their own courses of fire and customize training sessions.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Open Range 2.0 is the custom range builder for Smokeless Range®. It lets the user design courses, place targets, adjust distances, and create repeatable drills for almost any type of marksmanship practice.”

M-Range 2.0

M-Range 2.0, or Marksmanship Range, is designed for structured marksmanship training and multi-lane qualification-style practice. It allows up to four shooters to train at the same time in separate lanes.

This add-on is particularly useful for agencies, departments, training groups, and instructors who need to prepare shooters for qualification or run multiple users through a standardized course of fire.

Best use case: Use M-Range 2.0 for law enforcement, military, security, or group training where multiple shooters need structured practice.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “M-Range 2.0 is built for organized marksmanship training. It is ideal for agencies or instructors who want to run qualification-style drills with multiple shooters at the same time.”

Video Scenario Trainer Pro 2.0 / VST Pro2

Video Scenario Trainer Pro 2.0, often called VST Pro2, is the use-of-force and judgment-training add-on. It uses realistic video scenarios where the trainee must decide how to respond based on what is happening in the scene.

This add-on is important because it moves training beyond accuracy. The trainee must assess behavior, identify threats, decide whether force is justified, and respond under pressure. It also supports after-action review so the shooter can examine shot placement and performance after the scenario.

Best use case: Use VST Pro2 for use-of-force training, concealed-carry decision-making, law enforcement judgment training, security training, and instructor-led scenario work.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “VST Pro2 turns Smokeless Range® into a video-based judgment simulator. It helps trainees practice not only how to shoot, but when to shoot, when not to shoot, and how to make better decisions under stress.”

VST Pro2 Control Station (automatically packaged with the VST Pro2)

VST Pro2 Control Station is an instructor-control add-on for Video Scenario Trainer Pro. It gives the instructor a separate control screen so they can manage the direction of the scenario without the trainee seeing the available choices.

This is especially valuable for professional training because it allows the instructor to guide the scenario based on the trainee’s commands, behavior, and decision-making. The instructor can make the scenario escalate, de-escalate, or branch in different directions.

Best use case: Use the Control Station when an instructor wants to actively manage VST Pro2 scenarios in real time.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “The Control Station is the instructor’s command panel for VST Pro2. It allows the trainer to control scenario outcomes from a separate screen, making the training more realistic and less predictable for the student(s).”

IPSC Challenge

IPSC Challenge is a competition-focused add-on designed around practical shooting skills. It gives the shooter courses of fire that help develop speed, accuracy, target transitions, and match-style performance.

This add-on is useful for shooters who participate in IPSC, USPSA, or similar practical-shooting competitions. It gives them a way to practice match-style skills without needing constant live-fire range access.

Best use case: Use IPSC Challenge for competitive shooters or customers who want faster target transitions, better movement-based shooting skills, and practical-shooting style drills.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “IPSC Challenge brings practical-shooting style training into the Smokeless Range®. It helps competitive shooters work on speed, accuracy, transitions, and stage performance from home or in a training facility.”

Competitive Shooter Pro

Competitive Shooter Pro is another competition-oriented add-on focused on realistic match-style practice. It includes courses of fire with the types of targets and challenges shooters may see in practical shooting competitions, such as cardboard targets, moving targets, steel-style targets, and other stage elements.

This is a strong choice for serious competition shooters who want to stay sharp between matches or during the off-season.

Best use case: Use Competitive Shooter Pro for USPSA, IPSC, IDPA-style, or action-shooting practice.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Competitive Shooter Pro is designed for shooters who want match-style training without going to the range. It helps build speed, accuracy, target transitions, and stage-planning skills.”

Steel Challenge

Steel Challenge is designed for shooters who want to train for Steel Challenge-style competition. It focuses on timed steel target stages, quick target acquisition, repeatability, and speed.

This add-on is valuable because Steel Challenge is heavily based on consistency and fast target transitions. The simulator lets shooters practice those core skills in a controlled environment.

Best use case: Use Steel Challenge for competitive shooters, speed shooters, or anyone who wants to improve fast and accurate target engagement.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Steel Challenge lets shooters practice familiar steel-style stages from home. It is built for speed, timing, target transitions, and keeping skills sharp between live-fire sessions.”

Tactical Targets

Tactical Targets is a shoot/no-shoot training add-on. The trainee moves through a simulated environment and must identify which targets are threats and which are non-threats.

The key value is decision-making under time pressure. Because the courses can be randomized, the shooter cannot simply memorize the drill. They must assess each target and respond correctly.

Best use case: Use Tactical Targets for target discrimination, threat recognition, concealed-carry practice, law enforcement training, and security training.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Tactical Targets trains the shooter to identify threats and non-threats quickly. It is a strong add-on for decision-making, reaction time, and target discrimination.”

Game Range Alpha

Game Range Alpha is a recreational marksmanship add-on. It includes fun, family-friendly shooting games that still build real skills such as accuracy, target identification, reaction time, and speed.

This add-on is a good way to keep practice enjoyable, especially for families, new shooters, or customers who want a less formal training experience.

Best use case: Use Game Range Alpha when the customer wants to make training more fun while still developing marksmanship skills.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Game Range Alpha adds fun, arcade-style marksmanship games to the Smokeless Range®. It is a great way to keep training enjoyable while still working on accuracy, speed, and target identification.”

Wild Boar Hunt

Wild Boar Hunt is a hunting-focused add-on that simulates European-style wild boar hunting. It is designed to build hunting-related shooting skills such as accuracy, timing, moving-target engagement, and patience.

This add-on is ideal for hunters or recreational shooters who want a realistic hunting-style experience at home or in a training facility.

Best use case: Use Wild Boar Hunt for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, or shooters who want practice engaging moving game-style targets.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Wild Boar Hunt brings a realistic hunting-style experience to the Smokeless Range®. It helps hunters practice timing, accuracy, and moving-target engagement in a safe indoor environment.”

Fast Draw

Fast Draw Simulator is designed for speed work, especially drawing from the holster. It is a natural fit for cowboy action shooters, defensive shooters, and anyone who wants to improve draw speed and first-shot accuracy.

The customer can adjust target size and height, making it useful for different shooters and training setups.

Best use case: Use Fast Draw Simulator for holster draw practice, cowboy action training, first-shot speed, and reaction-time development.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Fast Draw Simulator helps shooters work on draw speed, reaction time, and first-shot accuracy. It is especially useful for cowboy action shooters or anyone who wants to get faster from the holster.”

Western Shooter

Western Shooter is a themed add-on built around Old West-style shooting drills. It combines speed, target identification, and scenario-based fun in a Western environment.

It is more recreational than formal qualification training, but it still develops useful skills such as accuracy, target transitions, and quick decision-making.

Best use case: Use Western Shooter for cowboy action shooters, recreational users, families, or customers who want a fun themed training experience.

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Western Shooter gives the Smokeless Range® an Old West training theme. It is fun and engaging while still helping shooters practice speed, accuracy, and target identification.”

Lane Trainer Pro is a specialized training for Military operations

What the Laser Ammo Pro Says: “Lane Trainer Pro is a specialized military lane-training module for the Smokeless Range®. This is a custom item that is best suited for BRM training.”
