The AN/PEQ-2 has two infrared laser emitters;one narrow beam used for aiming the rifle and one wide beam used for illuminating targets, like a flashlight. [9] The beams can only be seen through night vision goggles. [9] Each beam can be zeroed independently, and the illuminator's radius is adjustable. The two lasers are tied into one 6-mode ...
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.
The user then adjusts the iron sights or scope reticle to align the point of aim with the projected laser dot. Another more commonly used type of laser boresighter is attached to the muzzle of the barrel, either inserted straight into the bore ("arbor" type) or held in alignment with the barrel via a magnet, and projects a laser beam onto the ...
The new .50 BMG gun and improved scope could employ "fire-and-forget" technologies including "fin-stabilized projectiles, spin-stabilized projectiles, internal and/or external aero-actuation control methods, projectile guidance technologies, tamper proofing, small stable power supplies, and advanced sighting, optical resolution and clarity ...

The pistol's name was decided after an online contest, in which Yeet Cannon received 313,000 votes, over 96% of the total. [1] [2] The weapon's length, weight, and caliber are identical to the C-9, but it features a new safety, new grip texturing, "Glock-style" front sights, and an elongated sight base, allowing for a Picatinny rail.

Precision-guided small arms prototypes have been developed which use a laser designator to guide an electronically actuated bullet to a target. [8] Another system in development uses a laser range finder to trigger an explosive small arms shell in proximity to a target. As of 2009, the U.S. Army has plans to use such devices in the future.
A Royal Canadian Sea Cadet looks through a machine gun sight.. A sight or sighting device is any device used to assist in precise visual alignment (i.e. aiming) of weapons, surveying instruments, aircraft equipment, [1] [2] optical illumination equipment or larger optical instruments with the intended target.
