1. A laser-based firearm and target training assembly comprising:
a handheld target structure of a material configured to generate a visually perceivable indicia when subjected to a laser light with a frequency range of 220-1060 nm; and
a handheld firearm assembly having:
a body with a grip portion and with a barrel portion defining a muzzle, defining an internal laser housing channel, defining an internal magazine housing, and including an upper surface;
a laser emission module disposed within the internal laser housing channel, with an emission aperture facing and aligned with the muzzle, and operably configured to emit a pulsed laser light emission of a frequency range of 220-1060 nm from the emission aperture;
a trigger translatably coupled to the body and having a firing position along a trigger translation path and a static position along the trigger translation;
a battery power source electrically coupled to the laser emission module and coupled to the body;
an electronic controller electrically coupled to the battery power source, operably coupled to the laser emission module and the trigger, and operably configured to cause the laser emission module to emit the pulsed laser light emission through the emission aperture and the muzzle when the trigger is in the firing position and cease emission of the pulsed laser light emission when the trigger is in the static position; and
a magazine body selectively removably coupled to the body and disposed within the internal magazine housing, the electronic controller generating a defined frequency limit of the pulsed laser light emission and operably configured to cause the laser emission module to emit the pulsed laser light emission through the emission aperture and the muzzle when the trigger is in the firing position and when the magazine body is selectively removably coupled to the body.
