An improved firearm laser sight comprising a pattern generating element and an enlarging lens for enhanced projection of sight patterns onto an intended target is disclosed. The device is meant to be an accessory for firearms of all types by comprising any standardized methods for attachment, and may serve to decrease the time needed to acquire an intended target before firing. The device may implement a variety of sight patterns that may be projected larger and in a more pronounced way, when compared to standard firearm sights, to provide a clear image that may be quickly acquired even over longer distances. The improved firearm laser sight may be made available with a red or green visible laser, an infrared laser, or an ultraviolet light depending on the intended use of the device.

A laser accessory device comprises a housing having a front side having a port, a rear side opposite the front side, a left side, a right side opposite the left side, a top side, and a bottom side opposite the top side. One or more laser emitters within the housing are configured to emit a beam through the port. A first cover assembly is positioned on the front side, the first cover assembly including a first safety cover and a first frame securing the first safety cover to the housing. The first safety cover is movable between a closed position covering the port and an open position not covering the port.

A direct enhanced view optic (DEVO) provides a user with enhanced target acquisition information, such as real time ballistic solutions, fused thermal imaging, extended zoom, and automatic target recognition. The direct view optic may include an optical device having a front objective, a rear ocular exit, and a waveguide. The front objective and the rear ocular exit may be separated by the waveguide, and the optical device provides a distant image onto a display. A diffractive based holographic display system is coupled to the optical device, and the holographic display system provides a see-through information overlay on the display.

A modular illumination and aiming apparatus, a preferred embodiment of which includes an optical head module, mounting module, and an end cap module. The modular illumination and aiming apparatus is configured to be quickly and intuitively adjusted by a user in response to changing target and environmental conditions. The modular illumination and aiming apparatus is configured to be ergonomically supportive such that a user may maintain a consistent firing grip while activating the illumination and aiming functions. The optical head module is configured to allow the user to change radiation types by adjusting an end cap. The alignment mechanism in the optical head module for the radiation source and optics is configured to provide a robust and zero-play optical mount in order to resist recoil and general physical shock.

This invention herein described is a firearm mountable, illumination and projection system for projecting, detecting and/or receiving electromagnetic radiation (waves) from across the electromagnetic spectrum by utilizing a variety of technologies such as LED's, Infrared Illuminators, Laser Emitters, and FLIR sensors (examples not limitations). This invention, herein described, is unique in that the embodiment(s) for Illumination and Projection are separate, unique, and isolated (distally) from the embodiment providing the necessary power (Current, Voltage, Electromotive Force) for the illumination and/or projection of electromagnetic radiation.

An electronic weapon accessory system includes an electronic weapon accessory, such as a light, and a detachable mount with an integrated control switch. The electronic weapon accessory includes an electronic component, such as an LED, and a power source disposed within a housing. The electronic component and the battery are electrically connected with a circuit having electrical contacts exposed on an outer surface of the housing. The mount has a body with a clamp structure, a dome switch disposed on an outer surface of the mount body and a circuit having electrical contacts exposed on the outer surface of the mount body. Fasteners removably secure the mount body and accessory housing in assembled relation. When the electronic weapon accessory and mount are assembled, the accessory electrical contacts physically and electrically engaging the mount electrical contacts to complete an electronic control circuit and provide integrated control and operation of the electronic accessory.

A targeting device for a firearm having a sighting device, the targeting device having a mount capable of being secured to the fire arm, and a camera capable of capturing images in a field of view including the sighting device, the camera being adjustable relative to the sighting device such that it can be aligned with the sighting device.
