         This Employment Agreement (this "Agreement") is entered into as of
November 1, 2000 between FATS, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and
John A. Morelli (the "Executive").

         WHEREAS, the Company is the operating subsidiary of Firearms Training
Systems, Inc. (the "Parent"), a leading worldwide provider of small and
supporting arms training simulators; and

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive to serve as Vice
President of Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer of the
Company, and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company, upon the terms
and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
agreements contained herein, the Company and the Executive hereby agree as
follows:

1.       Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive and the
Executive hereby agrees to be employed by the Company upon the terms and subject
to the conditions contained in this Agreement. The term of employment of the
Executive by the Company pursuant to this Agreement (the "Employment Period")
shall commence on October 1, 2000 (the "Effective Date") and shall end on the
third annual anniversary of the Effective Date, unless earlier terminated
pursuant to Section 4 hereof.

2.       Position and Duties; Responsibilities. (a) Position and Duties. The
Company shall employ the Executive during the Employment Period as its chief
financial officer, with the titles of Vice President of Finance and
Administration and Chief Financial Officer. The Executive shall report directly
to the Chief Executive Officer of the Parent and shall follow direction, when
given from time to time, from the Board of Directors of the Parent. During the
Employment Period, the Executive shall perform faithfully and loyally and to the
best of the Executive's abilities the duties assigned to the Executive hereunder
and shall devote the Executive's full business time, attention and effort to the
affairs of the Company, and its subsidiaries and shall use the Executive's best
efforts to promote the interests of the Company, its subsidiaries and the
Parent. The Executive may engage in charitable, civic or community activities
and, with the prior approval of the Chief Executive Officer, may serve as a
director of any other business corporation, provided that such activities or
service do not interfere with the Executive's duties hereunder or violate the
terms of any of the covenants contained in Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 hereof.

(b)      Responsibilities. Subject to the powers, authority and responsibilities
vested in the Board and in duly constituted committees of the Board, the
Executive shall have the authority and responsibility for the Company's
financial management. The Executive shall also perform such other duties (not
inconsistent with the position of Chief Financial Officer) on behalf of the
Company and its subsidiaries as may from time to time be authorized or directed
by the Chief Executive Officer.

3.       Compensation. (a) Base Salary. During the Employment Period, the
Company shall pay to the Executive a base salary at the rate of $125,000 per
annum (" Base Salary"), payable in accordance with the Company's executive
payroll policy. Such Base Salary shall be reviewed annually and shall be subject
to such changes as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board (the
"Compensation Committee").

(b)      Annual Bonus. During the Employment Period, the Company shall provide
the Executive the opportunity to earn an annual incentive bonus, based upon the
Company's performance, the Executive's individual performance and the Company's
liquidity position (the "Annual Bonus"). The actual amount of such Annual Bonus
shall be determined by the Board, in its sole discretion; provided, however,
that in no event may the Executive receive an Annual Bonus in excess of 60% of
the Executive's Base Salary.

(d)      Other Benefits. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be
entitled to participate in the Company's employee benefit plans that are
generally available from time to time to executives of the Company, including
group medical, dental, life, accidental death and dismemberment, short-term
disability, long-term disability, business travel accident plans, sick leave,

hereinafter referred to as the "Employee Benefits").

(e)      Expense Reimbursement. During the Employment Period, the Company shall
reimburse the Executive, in accordance with the Company's policies and
procedures, for all proper documented expenses incurred by the Executive in the
performance of the Executive's duties hereunder.

4.       Termination. (a) Death. Upon the death of the Executive, this Agreement
shall automatically terminate and all rights of the Executive and the
Executive's heirs, executors and administrators to compensation and other
benefits under this Agreement shall cease immediately, except that the
Executive's heirs, executors or administrators, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to:

(i)      accrued Base Salary through and including the Executive's date of
death;

(ii)     the Annual Bonus, if any, that the Executive would have received for
the fiscal year in which his death occurs had he remained employed through the
end of such year, reduced pro rata for that portion of such fiscal year not
completed by the Executive and payable at such time as the Executive would have
received such Annual Bonus had he remained employed through the end of such
fiscal year; and

(iii)    other Employee Benefits to which the Executive was entitled on the date
of death in accordance with the terms of the plans and programs of the Company.

(b)      Disability. The Company may, at its option, terminate this Agreement
upon written notice to the Executive if the Executive, because of physical or
mental incapacity or disability, fails to perform the essential functions of the
Executive's position, with or without reasonable accommodation, required of the
Executive hereunder for a continuous period of 120 days or any 180 days within
any 12-month period. In the event of any dispute regarding the existence of the
Executive' s incapacity or disability hereunder, the matter shall be resolved by
the determination of a physician, qualified to practice medicine in the state of
the Executive's Residence, to be selected by the Board. The Executive shall have
the right to require a second opinion from a physician qualified to practice
medicine in the state of the Executive's residence, as selected by the
Executive. If the initial and second opinions are inconsistent, the matter shall
be resolved by a third opinion from a physician licensed to practice medicine as
selected by the agreement between the Company and the Executive. Upon such
termination, all obligations of the Company hereunder shall cease immediately,
except that the Executive shall be entitled to:

(i)      accrued Base Salary through and including the effective date of the
Executive's termination of employment;

(ii)     the Annual Bonus, if any, that the Executive would have received for
the fiscal year in which the Executive's termination of employment occurs had he
remained employed through the end of such year, reduced pro rata for that
portion of such fiscal year not completed by the Executive and payable at such
time as the Executive would have received such Annual Bonus had he remained
employed through the end of such fiscal year; and

(iii)    other Employee Benefits to which the Executive is entitled upon
termination of employment in accordance with the terms of the plans and programs
of the Company.

(c)      Cause. (i) The Company may, at its option, terminate the Executive's
employment under this Agreement for Cause (as hereinafter defined) upon written
notice to the Executive (the "Cause Notice"). Any such termination for Cause
shall be authorized by the Board. The Cause Notice shall state the particular
action(s) or inaction(s) giving rise to termination for Cause.

(ii)     As used in this Agreement, the term "Cause" shall mean any one or more
of the following:

(A)      The Executive's commission of a felony or any other crime involving
moral turpitude, fraud, misrepresentation, embezzlement, or theft,

(B)      The Executive's engaging in any other activity that is harmful
(including alcoholic or other self-induced affliction), in a material respect,
to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or the Parent monetarily or otherwise,
as determined by a majority of the Board;


                                    Page 17
<PAGE>   3

(C)      The Executive's material malfeasance (including, without limitation,
any intentional act of fraud or theft), misconduct, or gross negligence in
connection with the performance of his duties hereunder;

(D)      The Executive's significant violation of any statutory or common law
duty of loyalty to the Company, any of its subsidiaries or the Parent;

(E)      The Executive's material breach of this Agreement or of a material
policy of the Company or the Parent (including, without limitation, disclosure
or misuse of any confidential or competitively sensitive information or trade
secrets of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or the Parent);

(F)      The Executive's refusal or failure to carry out directives or
instructions of the majority of the Board that are consistent with the scope and
nature of the Executive's duties and responsibilities set forth herein; or

(G)      Any breach by the Executive of any one or more of the covenants
contained in Section 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 hereof.

(iii)    With respect to E and F above, the Executive shall have ten days after
the Cause Notice is given to cure the particular action(s) or inaction(s), to
the extent a cure is possible. If the Executive so effects a cure to the
satisfaction of the Board, the Cause Notice shall be deemed rescinded and of no
force or effect.

(iv)     The exercise of the right of the Company to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to this Section 4(c) shall not abrogate the rights or remedies of the
Company in respect of the breach giving rise to such termination.

(v)      If the Company terminates the Executive's employment for Cause, all
obligations of the Company hereunder shall cease, except that the Executive
shall be entitled to the payments and benefits specified in Sections 4(b)(i) and
4(b)(iii) hereof.

(d)      Termination Without Cause. The Company may, at its option, terminate
the Executive's employment under this Agreement upon written notice to the
Executive for a reason other than a reason set forth in Section 4(a), 4(b) or
4(c). Any such termination shall be authorized by the Board. If the Company
terminates the Executive's employment for any such reason, all obligations of
the Company hereunder shall cease immediately, except that the Executive shall
be entitled to:

(i)      accrued Base Salary through and including the date of the Executive's
termination of employment;

(ii)     other Employee Benefits to which the Executive is entitled upon
termination of employment in accordance with the terms of the plans and programs
of the Company; and

(iii)    an amount equal to the Executive's Base Salary as in effect immediately
prior to the Executive's termination of employment, payable in substantially
equal monthly installments during the 18-month period following the Executive's
termination of employment with the Company.

Notwithstanding Section 4(d)(iii), the amount payable to the Executive under
such Section 4(d)(iii) during the last 9 months for which such amount is payable
shall be reduced by the amount of salary, bonus or other compensation which the
Executive receives from any company other than the Company in exchange for the
Executive's services as an employee or director of or consultant to such company
during such 9-month period. The Executive shall use his best efforts to seek
other employment or a consulting engagement for this purpose and to otherwise
mitigate the amount payable pursuant to Section 4(d)(iii) hereof.

(e)      Voluntary Termination for Good Reason. If the Executive reasonably
believes he has Good Reason (as defined below) to terminate employment he must
give the Board 60 days prior written notice (or such shorter period as may be
permitted by the Board) and a reasonable opportunity to cure, which shall be a
minimum of 30 days. If the Board fails to cure the Good Reason within such
reasonable time, the Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment with the
Company prior to the end of the Employment Period. If the Executive voluntarily
terminates his employment pursuant to this Section 4(e), the Executive shall be
entitled to receive the payments and benefits specified by Section 4(d), payable
in accordance with and subject to the conditions of such Section. For purposes
of this Agreement, "Good Reason" shall mean (i) the assignment to the Executive
of duties inconsistent with the position of President and Chief Executive
Officer of the Company or (ii) the assignment of the Executive to a position of
lesser dignity. Any dispute which may arise concerning whether a voluntary
termination of employment by the Executive is for Good Reason shall be resolved
by an arbitrator appointed pursuant to Section 15.

(f)      Other Voluntary Termination. Upon 60 days prior written notice to the
Company (or such shorter period as may be permitted by the Board), the Executive
may voluntarily terminate the Executive's employment with the Company for any
reason. If the Executive voluntarily terminates the Executive's employment
pursuant to this Section 4(f), all obligations of the Company hereunder shall
cease immediately, except that the Executive shall be entitled to the payments
and benefits specified in Sections 4(d)(i) and 4(d)(ii) hereof.

5.       Federal and State Withholding. The Company shall deduct from the
amounts payable to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement the amount of all
required federal, state and local withholding taxes in accordance with all
applicable federal employment taxes.

6.       Noncompetition; Nonsolicitation. (a) General. The Executive
acknowledges that in the course of the Executive's employment with the Company
the Executive has and will become familiar with trade secrets and other
confidential information concerning the Company, its subsidiaries and the Parent
and that the Executive' s services will be of special, unique and extraordinary
value to the Company, its subsidiaries and the Parent.

(b)      Noncompetition. The Executive agrees that during the period of the
Executive's employment with the Company, the period, if any, during which the
Executive is receiving payments from the Company pursuant to Section 4, and for
a period of two years thereafter the Executive shall not in any manner, directly
or indirectly, through any person, firm or corporation, alone or as a member of
a partnership or as an officer, director, stockholder, investor or employee of
or consultant or other agent to any other corporation or enterprise or
otherwise, engage or be engaged, or assist any other person, firm, corporation
or enterprise in engaging or being engaged, in any business, in which the
Executive was involved or had knowledge, being conducted by, or contemplated by,
the Company or any of its subsidiaries as of the termination of the Executive's
employment in any geographic area in which the Company, any of its subsidiaries
or the Parent is then conducting or is contemplating conducting such business.

(c)      Nonsolicitation. The Executive further agrees that during the period of
the Executive's employment with the Company, the period if any during which the
Executive is receiving payments from the Company pursuant to Section 4, and for
a period of three years thereafter, the Executive shall not (i) in any manner,
directly or indirectly, induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company,
any of its subsidiaries or the Parent to terminate or abandon his or her
employment for any purpose whatsoever or

(ii)     in connection with any business to which Section 6(b) applies, call on,
service, solicit or otherwise do business with any customer of the Company, any
of its subsidiaries or the Parent; provided, however, the Executive may solicit
business with any customer of the Company, any of its subsidiaries or the Parent
to the extent that such business is unrelated to the business conducted or
contemplated being conducted between the Company, its subsidiaries or the Parent
and their customers.

(d)      Exceptions. Nothing in this Section 6 shall prohibit the Executive from
being (i) a stockholder in a mutual fund or a diversified investment company or
(ii) an owner of not more than two percent of the outstanding stock of any class
of a corporation, any securities of which are publicly traded, so long as the
Executive has no active participation in the business of such corporation.

(e)      Reformation. If, at any time of enforcement of this Section 6, a court
or an arbitrator holds that the restrictions stated herein are unreasonable
under circumstances then existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum
period, scope or geographical area reasonable under such circumstances shall be
substituted for the stated period, scope or area and that the court or
arbitrator shall be allowed to revise the restrictions contained herein to cover
the maximum period, scope and area permitted by law. This Agreement shall not
authorize a court or arbitrator to increase or broaden any of the restrictions
in this Section 6.

7.       Nondisparagement. The Executive agrees that during the Executive' s
employment with the Company and thereafter, the Executive shall not directly (or
through any other person or entity) make any public or private statements
(whether oral or in writing) that are derogatory or damaging to the Company or
the Parent, including, but not limited to its businesses, activities,
operations, affairs, reputation or prospects or any of their officers,
employees, or current or former directors or shareholders. The Company also
agrees that during the Executive's employment with the Company and thereafter,
the Company shall not at any time make any defamatory public or private
statements, whether oral or in writing, concerning the Executive.

8.       Confidentiality. The Executive shall not, at any time during the
Employment Period or thereafter, make use of or disclose, directly or
indirectly, any (i) trade secret or other confidential or secret information of
the Company, any of its subsidiaries or the Parent or (ii) other technical,
business, proprietary or financial information of the Company, any of its
subsidiaries or the Parent not available to the public generally ("Confidential
Information"), except to the extent that such Confidential Information (a)
becomes a matter of public record or is published in a newspaper, magazine or
other periodical or on electronic or other media available to the general
public, other than as a result of any act or omission of the Executive, (b) is
required to be disclosed by any law, regulation or order of any


                                    Page 19
<PAGE>   5

court or regulatory commission, department or agency, provided that the
Executive gives prompt notice of such requirement to the Company to enable the
Company to seek an appropriate protective order, or (c) is required to be used
or disclosed by the Executive to perform properly the Executive's duties under
this Agreement. Promptly following the termination of the Employment Period, the
Executive shall surrender to the Company all records, memoranda, notes, plans,
reports, computer tapes and software and other documents and data which
constitute Confidential Information which the Executive may then possess or have
under the Executive's control (together with all copies thereof).

9.       Standstill. The Executive hereby agrees that, unless specifically
requested in writing in advance by the Board, the Executive will not at any time
during the period of the Executive's employment with the Company, the period, if
any, during which the Executive is receiving payments from the Company pursuant
to Section 4, and for a period of three years thereafter (and the Executive will
not at any time during such period assist or encourage others to) participate,
directly or indirectly in any activity that, if consummated, would result in a
Change in Control of the Parent. For purposes of this Section 9, a Change in
Control of the Parent shall mean (a) any sale or other disposition of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Parent, (b) any acquisition of more than
40% of the then outstanding shares of common stock of the Parent, (c) any merger
in which the existing stockholders of the Parent fail to own 50% or more of the
corporation resulting from such merger or (d) any change in the membership of
the Board such that the individuals who, as of the date of this Agreement,
constitute the Board (the "Incumbent Board") cease for any reason to constitute
at least a majority of such Board; provided, however, that any individual who
becomes a director of the Parent subsequent to the date of this Agreement whose
election, or nomination for election by the Parent's stockholders, was approved
by the vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the
Incumbent Board shall be deemed a member of the Incumbent Board; and provided
further, that no individual who was initially elected as a director of the
Parent as a result of an actual or threatened election contest, as such terms
are used in Rule 14a-11 of Regulation 14A promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or any other actual or
threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of any
individual, entity or group, including any "person" within the meaning of
Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, other than the Board shall be deemed a member
of the Incumbent Board.

10.      Inventions. The Executive agrees to disclose fully and promptly to the
Company in writing, upon the Company's request, all discoveries and
improvements, patentable or otherwise, trade secrets and ideas, writings and
copyrightable material which may be conceived by the Executive or developed or
acquired by the Executive during the Employment Period or the six-month period
thereafter and which may pertain directly or indirectly to the business of the
Company, any of its subsidiaries or the Parent (collectively, "Inventions"). All
Inventions shall constitute works made for hire owned by the Company and shall
be the exclusive property of the Company. To the extent any Invention does not
constitute a work made for hire, the Executive hereby assigns to the Company,
without further consideration, the Executive's entire right, title and interest
in and to such Invention, under patent, copyright, trade secret and trademark
law, in perpetuity or for the longest period otherwise permitted by law. The
Executive shall, upon the Company's request, execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Company all instruments and do all other acts which are necessary or in the
Company's opinion desirable to evidence more fully transfer of ownership of any
Invention to the Company, or to enable the Company, any of its subsidiaries or
the Parent, to file and prosecute applications for, and to acquire, maintain and
enforce, all patents, trademarks and copyrights in all countries.

11.      Key Man Insurance. The Executive agrees to cooperate fully with the
Company, including but not limited to submitting to a medical examination, in
securing key man insurance (the entire cost of which shall be borne by the
Company) on the life of the Executive.

12.      Enforcement. The parties hereto agree that the Company, its
subsidiaries and the Parent would be damaged irreparably in the event that any
provision of Section 6, 7, 8, 9 or 10 of this Agreement were not performed in
accordance with its terms or were otherwise breached and that money damages
would be an inadequate remedy for any such nonperformance or breach.
Accordingly, the Company and the Parent and their successors and permitted
assigns shall be entitled, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in
their favor, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent any breach or threatened
breach of any of such provisions and to enforce such provisions specifically
(without posting a bond or other security). The Executive agrees that the
Executive will submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
Delaware in any action by the Company or the Parent enforce an arbitration award
against the Executive or to obtain interim injunctive or other relief pending an
arbitration decision.

13.      Representations. The Executive represents and warrants to the Company
that (a) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the
Executive does not and will not conflict with, breach, violate or cause a
default under any contract, agreement, instrument, order, judgment or decree to
which the Executive is a party or by which the Executive is bound, (b) the
Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment agreement, noncompetition
agreement or confidentiality agreement with any other person or entity and (c)
upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Company, this Agreement
shall be the valid and binding obligation of the Executive, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

14.      Survival. Sections 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 of this Agreement shall survive
and continue in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms,
notwithstanding any termination of the Employment Period.

15.      Arbitration. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 12 hereof, any
dispute or controversy between the Company or the Parent and the Executive,
whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the breach of this
Agreement, or otherwise, shall be settled by arbitration in the State of
Delaware administered by the American Arbitration Association, with any such
dispute or controversy arising under this Agreement being so administered in
accordance with its Commercial Rules then in effect, and judgment on the award
rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award any remedy or relief
that a court of competent jurisdiction could order or grant, including, without
limitation, the issuance of an injunction. However, either party may, without
inconsistency with this arbitration provision, apply to any court having
jurisdiction over such dispute or controversy and seek interim provisional,
injunctive or other equitable relief until the arbitration award is rendered or
the controversy is otherwise resolved. Except as necessary in court proceedings
to enforce this arbitration provision or an award rendered hereunder, or to
obtain interim relief, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the
existence, content or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior
written consent of the Company and the Executive. The Company and the Executive
acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate
commerce. Notwithstanding any choice of law provision included in this
Agreement, the United States Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the
interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision.

16.      Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given when (a) delivered
personally or by overnight courier to the following address of the other party
hereto (or such other address for such party as shall be specified by notice
