A rail integration system (RIS; also called a rail accessory system (RAS), rail interface system, rail system, mount, base, gun rail, or simply a rail [1]) is a generic term for any standardized attachment system for mounting firearm accessories via bar-like straight brackets (i.e. "rails ...
NATO Accessory Rail (STANAG 4694) The NATO Accessory Rail (NAR), defined by NATO Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 4694, is a rail interface system standard for mounting accessory equipment such as telescopic sights, tactical lights, laser aiming modules, night vision devices, reflex sights, foregrips, bipods and bayonets to small arms such as rifles and pistols.
That credit goes to Richard Swanson of A.R.M.S., who conducted research and development and acquired a patent for the rail in 1995. [5] Swan has litigated in civil court against Colt and Troy industries regarding patent infringement. The courts found that Troy had developed rifles with rail mounting systems nearly identical to the MIL-STD-1913 ...
Similar rails can also be found on rifles such as the Dragunov sniper rifle (SVD), the PSL rifle, the PKM as well as some AK series assault rifles from 1954 onwards. Since 1992 the side rail mount has become standard on all AK rifles. [citation needed] The SVD and the AK rifles use slightly different dovetail mounts. [7]

It was designed to permit more accurate use of heavier weapons and reduce fatigue by displacing the weight of the weapon from the arms to the torso, and to mitigate weapon recoil. [2] As of 2018, the Third Arm is a prototype and is still in the testing phase of its development.
Chinese electric vehicles present a backdoor risk for Beijing to gain leverage over rival governments, a new think tank report warns.
To qualify as a precision guided firearm, the system must: Be a complete firing system – rifle, ammunition and networked tracking scope; Persistently track the target, automatically compute a multi-variable firing solution, and ensure precise engagement when target and firing solution are optimally aligned
