    The second was that the shot would spread too quickly providing a very limited effective zone. Offset chokes, where the pattern is intentionally slightly off of center, are used to change the point of impact. For instance, an offset choke can be used to make a double barrelled shotgun with poorly aligned barrels hit the same spot with both barrels.

  3. Electronic speckle pattern interferometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_speckle_pattern...

    Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI), [1] also known as TV holography, is a technique that uses laser light, together with video detection, recording and processing, to visualise static and dynamic displacements of components with optically rough surfaces. The visualisation is in the form of fringes on the image, where each fringe ...

  4. Shot grouping - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shot_grouping

    In shotgun shooting, the grouping is also called the pattern or "spread". The pattern indicates the extent of scattering by shots from a single shotshell, measured as the smallest circle containing all the shots on the target. The barrel of a shotgun is choked to deliver a wider or narrower scattering, depending on the expected use. Shooting at ...

  5. Interferometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interferometry

    Electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI), also known as TV holography, uses video detection and recording to produce an image of the object upon which is superimposed a fringe pattern which represents the displacement of the object between recordings. (see Fig. 21) The fringes are similar to those obtained in holographic interferometry.

  6. Laser sight - Wikipedia

    Singaporean soldier aiming a SAR 21 with laser sight. A laser sight is a device attached or integral to a firearm to aid target acquisition. Unlike optical and iron sights where the user looks through the device to aim at the target, laser sights project a beam onto the target, providing a visual reference point.

  7. Laser engraving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_engraving

    A laser engraving machine consists of three main parts: a laser, a controller, and a surface. [2] The laser is a drawing tool: the beam emitted from it allows the controller to trace patterns onto the surface. The controller determines the direction, intensity, speed of movement, and spread of the laser beam aimed at the surface.

    Laser sight: an attachment that projects a laser beam onto the target, providing a rough point of impact. Leading: The act of aiming a firearm in front of a moving target, to compensate for the bullet's travel time. Length of pull: The distance between the trigger and the butt end of the shoulder stock of a rifle or shotgun. Lever-action rifle
