1. A simulated round of ammunition configured to be used in an actual or simulated firearm, comprising:
a housing having an outer shape that corresponds to an outer shape of an actual round of ammunition;
a wire coil mounted in the housing and configured to generate a magnetic field when electrical power is applied to the wire coil;
a movable member comprising a magnetic element that is movably mounted on the housing relative to the wire coil, wherein when electrical power is applied to the wire coil, a magnetic field generated by the wire coil causes the movable member to move relative to the wire coil;
an electrical power source mounted in the housing; and
a controller that causes electrical power from the electrical power source to be applied to the wire coil to cause the movable member to move such that movement of the movable member generates a haptic effect that simulates firing of an actual round of ammunition.
