An image offsetting apparatus for producing an offset image pathway and presenting the offset image pathway to an optic, including at least some of a mirror assembly wherein the mirror assembly comprises a first component mirror and a second component mirror, wherein the mirror assembly is attached or coupled so as to provide the offset image pathway that is offset from a direct image pathway between a target object and the optic.

Sight adjustable and rotating smart phone mounts for firearms which mount the smart phone and lens on the rail of the firearm behind the sights. The phone mounts rotate, and are vertically and laterally adjustable, and include mirror assemblies. The smart phone and mirror assemblies are secured in precise positions to be in alignment with one another, and the mirror assemblies remain in axial viewing alignment with the firearm sights, and reflect the view to the smart phone camera lens, as the mount is rotated through 180 from side-to-side of the firearm. A shooter views an enlarged target area on the smart phone screen, and most importantly, can view and record the target area from the either side of the firearm standing perpendicular to the firearm rail and barrel. In such position, the shooters can fire around obstacles and building without becoming a target themselves and out of harms way.

Target engagement training apparatus, devices, systems and methods that can include wearable training devices on eye glasses and the like as well as mountable to weapons, such as rifles, and pistols, that identifies targets for users to shoot at whether randomly or in a prescribed manner, varies the speed that target identifiers are provided, and varies the duration the target identifier is shown. The target engagement training device dictates to the user which target to engage. The targets can include but are not limited to: 2D (two dimensional) planar materials with various graphics, such as sheets of paper, wood, or metal with printed, painted, or projected images or video displayed; 3-dimensional simulated human or animal figures; or simulated or actual vehicles, buildings, or other structures or items intended for target engagement training. One or more targets can exist on a single item of the aforementioned target materials. Target engagement training, can be used in the firing of real or simulated firearms with live fire projectile ammunition, simulated ammunition, BB shot, pellets, and the like, or engaging in the same with no ammunition in dry fire practice or the engagement of targets by other means, weapons, or munitions.

A system for generating a targeting beam includes a frame carrying at least one moveable arm, at least a portion of the moveable arm being moveable relative to the frame. A light source is carried by the frame, the light source being operable to generate a light beam. A motor is carried by the frame, the motor being operable to create oscillatory motion of the moveable arm to cause the light beam generated by the light source to oscillate through a range of motion to create a targeting beam.

A firearm includes one or more rails to which accessories may be mounted. The rails provide a communication path over which data may be transferred between the accessories and a processor located in the rails or in the firearm. The processor may cause the data to be sent to another location and may receive other data from other locations to provide a network of intercommunicating firearms that may deployed in a battlefield environment.

An assembly allowing a user to adjust a relative positioning of an imaging portal of a lens attached to an electronic device relative to the viewing portal of a lens of an optical device. The assembly is made up of a planar adjustment unit having multiple plates that frictionally interface with one another such that they allow movement by a user. The components of the planar adjustment unit are held together by at least one elastically deformable element that passes through the channels in the sliding plates of the planar adjustment unit. The at least one elastically deformable element holds the planar adjustment unit together in tension such that the assembled plates may still slide with respect to one another, but remain in place by static friction when not moved by a user. The planar adjustment unit may be further combined with components allowing for three-dimensional adjustment of an imaging portal of a lens attached to an electronic device relative to a viewing portal of a lens of an optical device.
