Abstract:
A system, method, and device for configuring an optical aiming device for ballistic drop compensation (BDC). The optical aiming device can include a housing with a reticle pane defining a reticle display field viewable by a user and indicating a zero point, the housing further including a plurality of axially spaced lenses and defining an optical path therethrough. In various embodiments the system includes a display device configured to project an image generated from a display, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The computer readable data storage medium can include instructions executable by the processor to receive a first set of ballistics input data indicating a first type of ammunition, determine a BDC pattern including at least two holdover marks corresponding to at least two ranges for the first type of ammunition, and project the BDC pattern onto the reticle display field.
Abstract:
The present invention is an improved removable gun sight for shotguns, rifles and other firearms comprising a single, light weight part for screwless, snap on attachment to the tubular part of a gun. The device is pocket size and portable and is easy to install and adjust on a firearm.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a system comprising a viewing optic, a remote for the viewing optic, an illumination device, and a connector that couples the illumination device to the remote. In one embodiment, the disclosure further relates to a system comprising an illumination device and a viewing optic with an integrated display system.
Abstract:
A weapon system comprises a firearm configured for discharging ammunition having multiple projectiles and a sighting apparatus integral with the firearm. The sighting apparatus outputs a beam of light having a generally round shape. The sighting apparatus is oriented such that a centerline longitudinal axis of a barrel of the firearm extends through the beam of light. The sighting apparatus includes a light beam size selector for allowing a cross-sectional size of the beam of light at a fixed reference location external to the sighting apparatus to be selectively adjusted by a shooter of the firearm to a plurality of different cross-sectional sizes.
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a small-arm for firing shot ammunition, the shot ammunition having a propelling charge and an explosive charge. Separate igniters are provided for each of the charges. An ignition means is coupled to a trigger unit for operating the propelling charge igniter and the explosive charge igniter with different time intervals. The time intervals are automatically selected as a function of range between the small-arm and the target. In this way, the disintegration of the ammunition occurs as close to the target as possible.

Abstract:
Sights for regulating double rifles, and shotguns firing rifled slugs, to converge projectile impacts of the two barrels. Several distinct embodiments activated by inertia or the firearm's mechanism, all providing two adjustable sight leaves, one to be aligned with the impact point of each barrel. In the preferred embodiments the upstanding sight used for aiming a first shot is exchanged at the shot for the second sight by recoil inertia harnessed in one of three ways. One embodiment is reset by cooperation with the firearm but alternated by inertia, while another inertia type is reset manually. A detachable embodiment is provided for shotguns with ventilated ribs, which is both alternated and reset by inertia. A sight activated solely by the firearm's mechanism is also provided.
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to a shotgun of the tilting breech type having a barrel assembly with the barrel mounted in a cavity in the lowermost part of the breech block and provided with a ventilating rib of a substantial depth of at least one barrel diameter. In one form of the invention, movable balance weight is provided along the rib to permit varying gun balance and weight as desired. Also in another form of the invention, an extension is provided on the ventilating rib to increase sighting radius without increase in barrel length.
