    Side view of handgun point shooting position. Point shooting (also known as target-[1] or threat-focused shooting, [2] intuitive shooting, instinctive shooting, subconscious tactical shooting, or hipfiring) is a practical shooting method where the shooter points a ranged weapon (typically a repeating firearm) at a target without relying on the use of sights to aim.

    The main disadvantage of both SACLOS guidance systems in an anti-tank role is that working on angular differences evaluation, it does not allow any notable separation between guidance system and missile launch post the opposite of manual command to line of sight (MCLOS) ones, thus allowing updated version of such anti-tank weapons (notably AT-3 ...

  4. Boresight (firearm) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boresight_(firearm)

    A more modern method of boresighting is to use a laser pointer to illuminate the distant point of aim, rather than using visual inspection. This method is preferable because it has less parallax, allows more movement in the gun as the projected laser beam will stay true to the bore axis, and does not require removing the bolt.

Touch typing (also called blind typing, or touch keyboarding) is a style of typing.Although the phrase refers to typing without using the sense of sight to find the keys—specifically, a touch typist will know their location on the keyboard through muscle memory—the term is often used to refer to a specific form of touch ...

  7. Stadiametric rangefinding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadiametric_rangefinding

    Antitank weapons of the 1940–70s used stadiametric range estimation based on the average sizes of armoured fighting vehicles. The stadia method is based upon the principle of similar triangles. This means that, for a triangle with a given angle, the ratio of opposite side length to adjacent side length (tangent [broken anchor]) is constant.

  8. Visual agnosia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_agnosia

    It is not due to a deficit in vision (acuity, visual field, and scanning), language, memory, or intellect. [1] While cortical blindness results from lesions to primary visual cortex, visual agnosia is often due to damage to more anterior cortex such as the posterior occipital and/or temporal lobe (s) in the brain. [2]

  9. Optical landing system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_landing_system

    For shore-based optical landing systems, the lights are typically mounted on a mobile unit that plugs into a power source. Once set up and calibrated, there are no moving parts to the unit. Shipboard units are much more complicated as they must be gyroscopically stabilised to compensate for ship movement.
