Device for visualizing the bore axis of a G36 for pre-adjusting the sighting device

Abstract

A device called "adjustment laser G36" for insertion into a weapon housing of a G36 for visualizing the bore axis by means of a laser point for pre-adjusting the sighting device mounted on the weapon, characterized in that all required parts are installed or mounted in or on a housing (1).

Description

Situation:

[0001] The accuracy of all weapons used by the Federal Police must be proven by firing a shot.

[0002] After installing, replacing, or repairing any type of sighting device, it may be unclear, for technical reasons, where the line of sight points in relation to the bore axis. This deviation is determined and corrected during the zeroing process.

[0003] It can happen that if the deviation is large, the target is not hit and the shot disappears in the bullet trap or on open shooting ranges in the terrain, which makes hit detection and correction impossible.

[0004] Then, despite the experience of the staff, experiments are necessary, which cost additional time and ammunition.

[0005] In order to avoid such missed shots, it is advisable to adjust the sighting device attached to the weapon parallel to the bore axis (longitudinal center line) before firing.

[0006] To do this, it is necessary to make them visible in an appropriate way.

[0007] Laser sight line checkers with a caliber pin for insertion into the muzzle of the barrel do not work if devices such as silencers are permanently installed there.

[0008] The same applies to optical sighting devices with integrated deflection prism and caliber mandrel. In addition, when using such devices, the weapon must be placed in a sighting machine or carriage and aligned with an alignment cross because the bore axis and sighting line cannot be seen simultaneously.

[0009] As far as I know, commercially available laser bore sights in cartridge form for insertion into the cartridge chamber of the weapon cannot be switched on and off when inserted, nor can the direction of the laser beam be corrected in relation to the bore axis.

[0010] The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the idea of ​​developing a weapon-type-specific, compact device that can be inserted into the weapon instead of the bolt, called the “G36 alignment laser,” which consists of commercially available components and materials, can be manufactured cost-effectively using the resources of a federal police weapons workshop, and can be used without additional accessories, even in mobile use, in any G36 without dismantling the muzzle attachments.

[0011] The controls should be arranged in such a way that they are accessible when the device is inserted into the weapon and that no additional equipment and / or material is required.

[0012] The G36 alignment laser serves as an aid for pre-adjusting any sighting device(s) to the full or at least half of the target distance in preparation for zeroing G36 service weapons in various configurations, both in terms of barrel length and possible muzzle attachments, regardless of their shape and size, so that when zeroing, the first shots are already close to the prescribed point of impact and only small corrections are necessary to meet the target conditions, thus saving time and ammunition.

[0013] Pre-adjustment does not have to be done at the shooting range, but can be done on the workshop premises, so that appointments at the shooting range / shooting facility can be used more efficiently.

[0014] This problem is solved by the features listed in claim 1.

[0015] A possible construction is shown in claim 2 and explained in the drawings (Figures) 1 and 2.

[0016] Appearance and function are in the Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 shown.

[0017] According to claim 3, the centering sleeve (2) is built into the front of the housing (1), which centers the alignment laser when inserted into the cartridge chamber of the weapon.

[0018] The front end of the commercially available point laser module (7) is inserted into the rear end of the centering sleeve (2). This is inserted with its rear end into the adjustment device according to claim 4. This device can be moved vertically and laterally using the adjustment screws (6) according to claim 2, thus pivoting the laser module (7) and ultimately aligning the direction of the laser beam with the tube core axis. The ability to correct the direction of the laser beam allows for manufacturing-related tolerances of the laser module (7) and the housing (1).

[0019] The clamping piece (4) and knurled nut (3) fix the alignment laser in the weapon housing and prevent it from moving spontaneously.

[0020] The laser module (7) is powered by the standard battery container for 2x R6 batteries and is operated with the also standard on-off switch (5) on the top of the housing.

[0021] After insertion, clamping, switching on and checking with any necessary correction of the direction of the laser beam, the G36 alignment laser is ready for use as intended.

[0022] The G36 can now be positioned and aimed at a vertical surface at a distance of 25 or 50 meters, where the laser dot is visible. The attached sight allows the laser dot to be seen, and any deviations can be corrected using the sight adjustments.

[0023] This completes the pre-adjustment before firing. List of reference symbols 1 housing 2 centering sleeve 3 knurled nut 4 clamping piece 5 on-off switches, commercially available 6 adjustment screws for side and height 7 point laser module, commercially available
