A sensor system for a firearm is disclosed. The sensor system contains a body, a mounting facility adapted to mount the body to the firearm, a first accelerometer connected to the body operable to generate a first acceleration signal based on detected acceleration of the body, a second accelerometer connected to the body operable to generate a second acceleration signal based on detected acceleration of the body, the first accelerometer operable for detection of accelerations within a first range between a first lower limit and a first upper limit, the second accelerometer operable for detection of accelerations within a second range between a second lower limit and a second upper limit, the first lower limit being less than the second lower limit, and the first upper limit being less than the second upper limit, such that at least portions of the first range and the second range do not overlap.

An example rifle includes a rifle scope including a front optics and back optics for imaging a remote object. A parallax compensating device is coupled to the rifle scope. The parallax compensating device determines a zero-parallax setting distance to compensate parallax errors associated with imaging a remote object. The parallax compensating device removes, using the zero-parallax setting distance, the parallax errors dynamically in real time even if a user's head or eyes are misaligned and temperature at the rifle scope or surrounding environment.

A recording device for mounting on a gun. The recording device includes a recording unit that houses a recording module and a removable power source unit detachably coupled to the recording unit. The removable power source unit houses a battery and memory, wherein the battery is configured for providing power to the recording device while attached thereto and the memory stores recording data from the recording module. The memory of the removable power source unit includes data collected from the recording device and includes a hardware ID or ID code associated with a user of the recording device.

A method for automatically predicting the cause of suboptimal shooting is provided. In some embodiments, the method comprises: providing a plurality of good example reference data to an evaluation function; providing a plurality of bad example reference data to the evaluation function; obtaining training data of a trainee's shot dispersion data; obtaining training data from at least one sensor mounted on the trainee's gun; using the evaluation function to classify the training data as good or bad; and, displaying the classification on a screen as feedback.

An exemplary dot sight device includes a sight body, an illumination unit, an optical system, first, second and third movement blocks, and first, second and third adjustors. The first, second and third movement blocks are disposed in the sight body. The first adjustor is coupled to the first movement block and operable to cause the first movement block to move thereby causing the illumination unit to be displaced along a first axial direction. The second adjustor is coupled to the second movement block and operable to cause the second movement block to move thereby causing the illumination unit to be displaced along a second axial direction different than the first axial direction. The third adjustor is coupled to the third movement block and operable to cause the third movement block to move thereby causing the illumination unit to be displaced along the second axial direction.

An optical device housing has a post rotatably extending therefrom and a sleeve fixedly extending therefrom. The sleeve is disposed around the post. A knob is connected to the post. A clutch mechanism includes: a friction element movably engaged with the sleeve; a friction surface; and an adjustment element engaged with the friction element and rotatable relative to the optical device housing and the knob housing. Rotation of the adjustment element selectively engages the friction surface with the interior surface.
