The Insight Integrated Sighting Module (ISM) is a non-magnified red dot sight equipped with an integral infrared target illumination laser and visible laser sight. The ISM was originally produced in tandem with the XM8 Assault Rifle, with the intention of becoming a standard attachment. However, even as the XM8 project was cancelled, Insight ...
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 SIGM400 Predator is a rifle while the SIGPM400 Elite PSB is a pistol. The rifles are chambered for either 5.56×45mm NATO with 14.5-inch (37 cm), 16-inch (41 cm), 18-inch (46 cm), or 20-inch (51 cm) barrels threaded 1/2x28, or chambered for .300 AAC Blackout with 9-inch (23 cm) or 16-inch (41 cm) barrels which are threaded 5/8x24 for muzzle devices such as sound suppressors.
The primary sight for the XM250 is the XM157 fire-control system, also known as the Vortex Optics NGSW-FC. The XM157 integrates a laser rangefinder (LRF), ballistic solver, environmental sensors, aiming lasers, digital compass, and wireless communication to provide seamless battlefield connectivity. Built around a 1-8x30 LPVO with a glass ...
Smith & Wesson, Model 686 Plus equipped with Crimson Trace laser grip. Crimson Trace is an American manufacturer of laser sight equipment, chiefly but not exclusively for pistols. The firm specializes in in-line upper-grip-mounted red and green laser units, trigger-guard mounted sights, and training units.
The sight can be adjusted for range and windage by simply tilting or pivoting the holographic grating. [4] To compensate for any change in the laser wavelength due to temperature, the sight employs a holography grating that disperses the laser light by an equal amount but in the opposite direction as the hologram forming the aiming reticle.
Sights can be a simple set or system of physical markers that serve as visual references for directly aligning the user's line of sight with the target (such as iron sights on firearms), [3] or optical instruments that provide an optically enhanced—often magnified—target image aligned in the same focus with an aiming point (e.g. telescopic ...
A pair of marines scan with M16A4 rifles in Fallujah, Iraq (December 2004); the one in the foreground has an ITL MARS attached via a MIL-STD-1913 "Picatinny rail".. The ITL MARS (multi-purpose aiming reflex sight) is a gun sight that combines two sighting devices, a reflex sight and a laser sight, as well as a backup iron sight.
