What Is the Importance of Dry Fire Kits? Practical Training with Laser Ammo via Jack of All Trades
Modern Dry Fire Training: A Real-World Look at LaserAmmo’s Interactive System
When it comes to firearm training, dry fire is one of the most underused — yet most valuable — tools available. And thanks to modern portable laser systems like the ones from LaserAmmo, it’s easier than ever to build real skills from the comfort of your own home.
Xavier also known as Jack of All Trades is a seasoned firearms enthusiast and content creator, recently put LaserAmmo’s dry fire training kit to the test. In this post, we’ll share his insights on setup, how it performs, what it’s great for, and what to keep in mind if you're considering adding one to your training routine.
Why Dry Fire Still Matters
Dry fire is all about mastering fundamentals — trigger control, speed, target transitions, and sight alignment — without burning through expensive ammo or spending hours at the range.
As Xavier puts it:
“Dry fire helps you lock in and focus on your transitions.”
What's in Xavier's Kit?
Forget old-school laser bullets. This interactive LaserAmmo setup includes:
-
A laser cartridge that goes into your barrel
-
An extension rod + cap to secure and align it
-
A magazine that handles your trigger reset
-
Three electronic targets (iMTTS) — from 3" circles to IPSC silhouettes
-
The controller for the targets that track hits, display timing, and offer real-time feedback
It’s like bringing the range to your living room.
Setup: Easier Than You’d Think
Setting up took just a few minutes. Here’s a quick overview Xavier followed:
-
Clear your firearm — always check it’s unloaded
-
Insert batteries in target bases and controller (AAA, which are included)
-
Assemble the laser cartridge and install per manual
-
Insert magazine into mag well
-
Place your targets, power on — they’ll auto-link
That’s it. You’re ready to train.
Training Modes & Drills Built Into the System
The Laser Ammo iMTTS include multiple modes designed to build different skills:
-
Single Target Practice – basic accuracy + timing
-
Steel Plate Mode – hit reactive targets under pressure
-
Chase-the-Ball – targets light in sequence to train transitions
-
Shoot / No-Shoot – develop judgment and decision-making
-
Multiple-Hit Drills – train fast follow-ups
-
Drill Timers – track shot splits to improve speed
Each mode tracks time and accuracy, so you can monitor growth with every session.
What Makes This Worth It?
According to Xavier, the benefits stack up quickly:
-
Train anywhere — garage, bedroom, hotel
-
Save money — no ammo or range fees
-
Make it fun — great for group training with friends or family
-
Real feedback — you’ll know immediately if you’re improving
-
No stress setup — fast, intuitive, and portable
Things to Keep in Mind
-
AAA batteries drain — remove them when stored, or maybe try rechargeable
-
Laser cartridge alignment is key — double-check before training
-
Dry fire builds fundamentals, not recoil control — still hit the live range regularly
Real Training Tips You Can Steal
-
Start small — hit 3” targets to build accuracy
-
Work transitions — set up multiple targets and move smoothly
-
Practice eye discipline — test both-eyes-open shooting
-
Use drills with timers — chase better split times
-
Make it fun — challenge friends and family for speed or accuracy
