A sight for a pistol has a sliding fit within a channel in the slide of the pistol. A fastener retains the sight to the slide. The fastener passes through a slot in the slide. The slot is surrounded by a countersink surface and has a major dimension oriented transversely to the longitudinal axis of the slide. The fastener has a conical head with a cone angle which may be the same as or different from the angle of the countersink surface.

The present invention relates to target acquisition and related devices, and more particularly to telescopic gunsights and associated equipment used to achieve shooting accuracy at, for example, close ranges, medium ranges and extreme ranges at stationary and moving targets.

A shooting system for improving the accuracy of a shot at a target as fired from a hand-held firearm. The shooting system can comprise a targeting system operable with the firearm, the targeting system operable with one or more sensors to obtain targeting information pertaining to a target. The targeting system can further determine an optimal aiming vector and an aim deviation of the optimal aiming vector from an actual aiming vector based on the targeting information. The shooting system can further comprise an aim assist system in communication with the targeting system that functions to receive information corresponding to the aim deviation, the aim assist system comprising a momentum transfer system supported by the firearm and operable to induce a motion within the firearm to manipulate the actual aiming vector of the firearm and to correct for the aim deviation.

A system and method for determining a discharge event of a firearm is provided. An event detection module receives (i) acceleration input signals including a first acceleration input signal along a first axis, a second acceleration input signal along a second axis and a third acceleration input signal along a third axis; and (ii) rotation input signals including a first rotation input signal around the first axis, a second rotation input signal around the second axis and a third rotation input signal around the third axis. An acceleration vector magnitude is calculated from the acceleration signals. The acceleration vector magnitude is compared to a threshold acceleration. A sample event candidate is assigned to the acceleration vector magnitude based on the comparing. The sample event candidate comprises the acceleration input signals and the rotation input signals for a predetermined duration of time.

A fire-control system including a housing, a light channel, a light source, and a processor. Through the light channel, a user may directly observe a target and receive visually displayed information simultaneously. The light channel includes partially reflective optics and allows for visualization of a reticle to the user via the partially reflective optics. A measure of the distance to the target is also received by the system. The processor is for determining the adequate position of the reticle, based on the distance to the target, and for controlling the light source to emit light so that the reticle is visualized at the adequate position. The light source is an array capable of selectively emitting light in well defined locations on its surface.

The present variations disclose an apparatus or system configured to provide adaptive feedback for increasing ballistic accuracy in combat and high-precision situations. The apparatus utilizes machine learning algorithms to analyze and predict the movement of a shooter's eyes and hands when firing a weapon while continually monitoring the movements of the firearm to improve accuracy. The apparatus also utilizes a haptic, visual, and auditory feedback mechanism that provides real-time guidance and feedback on projected shot landing to enhance situational awareness and accuracy in high-stress environments. The apparatus may also include an automatic firing mechanism that enables the system to take over firing when appropriate via a human-guided mechanism to further enhance safety and effectiveness.
