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.
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.
The Advanced Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Laser, ATPIAL AN/PEQ-15 known colloquially as the "PEQ-15" [/ p ɛ k / / f ɪ f t iː n /] produced by L3Harris (originally designed and manufactured by Insight Technology, until their acquisition by L3Harris in 2010); is a multifunction IR Target Pointer & Illuminator, a.k.a. a Laser Aiming Module (LAM) for use as a rifle attachment, using a ...
Red (635 nm), blueish violet (445 nm), and green (520 nm) laser pointers. A laser pointer or laser pen is a (typically battery-powered) handheld device that uses a laser diode to emit a narrow low-power visible laser beam (i.e. coherent light) to highlight something of interest with a small bright colored spot.

A New York teen lost vision in his left eye moments after powering up a "defectively designed," Chinese-made laser pointer he purchased on Amazon, according to a lawsuit against the retail behemoth.
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.
In the U.S., the Congressional Research Service notes that a ban could "pose significant challenges because these devices are widely available at low cost and are used in a variety of applications such as laser pointers, laser levels and laser gun sights."
