WIST-94 was designed at Military Institute of Armament Technology (WITU) under the code name Piryt (Pyrite in Polish). Two prototypes were made in 1992, which differ in the barrel locking system: Model A01 used a rotary-locking system and Model B01 using conventional, Browning-type tilting barrel locking.
Casualty evacuation, also known as CASEVAC or by the callsign Dustoff or colloquially Dust Off, is a military term for the emergency patient evacuation of casualties from a combat zone. Casevac can be done by both ground and air. "DUSTOFF" is the callsign specific to U.S. Army Air Ambulance units.
[1] [2] As they are offset from the barrel, laser sights need to be zeroed in, much like a conventional sight, so that the beam intercepts the point of impact at a chosen distance. [3] Devices may include one or both types of laser, with some models also incorporating a rangefinder, flashlight , or IR illuminator. [ 4 ]
For many types of action shooting, a larger dot has traditionally been preferred; 7, 10, 15 or even 20 moa (2, 3, 4.5 or 6 mil) have been used; often these will be combined with horizontal and/or vertical lines to provide a level reference.
[2] To use a handheld light as a tactical light, the handgun is held in one hand, and the light in the other. There are a variety of positions that can be used to allow the light and handgun to be held parallel and provide mutual support, or the light can be held off to the side of the body to present a false target to a potential assailant.

An inert, absorbent coating for laser heat treatment has also been developed that eliminates the fumes generated by conventional paint coatings during the heat-treating process with CO 2 laser beams. One consideration crucial to the success of a heat treatment operation is control of the laser beam irradiance on the part surface.
[3] Insight ISM Integrated Sighting Module. 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 ...
The unit comprises a single rugged box that houses a visible red laser, which mounts to a weapon using a MIL-STD-1913 rail. The one major difference between the AN-PEQ-5 and the larger AN-PEQ-2, is the AN-PEQ-5 lacks the IR illuminator/target designator which is only visible through night vision devices. This feature is primarily used to aid ...
