2. Red dot sight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_dot_sight

   Red dot sights place the target and the reticle on nearly the same optical plane, allowing a single point of focus. This makes them fast-acquisition and easy-to-use sights, allowing the user to keep their attention on the field of view in front of them. They are common in speed shooting sports such as IPSC. Military units and police forces have ...

3. Collimator sight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collimator_sight

   The basic layout of a collimator sight is a closed tube with a lens at its open end and a luminous reticle mounted near the closed end at the focus of the lens, creating an optical collimator. The reticle is illuminated by an electronic light source (an incandescent light bulb or, more recently, a light-emitting diode ) or by ambient light ...

4. Telescopic sight - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_sight

   Telescopic sights have both advantages and disadvantages relative to iron sights. Standard doctrine with iron sights is to focus the eye on the front sight and align it with the resulting blur of the target and the rear sight; most shooters have difficulty doing this, as the eye tends to be drawn to the target, blurring both sights.

5. Iron sights - Wikipedia

   The downside to adjustable sights is the inherent fragility of the moving parts. A fixed sight is a solid piece of metal, usually steel, and if firmly attached to the gun, little is going to be able to damage it beyond usefulness. Adjustable sights, on the other hand, are bulkier, and have parts that must move relative to the gun.

6. Rifleman's rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rifleman's_rule

   This means that the rifle sight setting for any range from 0 to 500 meters is available. The sight adjustment procedure can be followed step-by-step. 1. Determine the slant range to the target. Assume that a range finder is available that determines that the target is exactly 300 meters distance. 2. Determine the elevation angle of the target.

7. PSO-1 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PSO-1

   The current version of the sight is the PSO-1M2. This telescopic sight is different from the original PSO-1 only in that it lacks the now obsolete infrared detector, which was used to detect generation-zero active-infrared night vision devices like the US M2 Sniperscope. The metal body of the PSO-1 is made from a magnesium alloy.
