Stationary Sight Gun Attachment for Rapid-Fire Accuracy
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional guns face challenges in delivering accurate shots in rapid succession due to reciprocating sights and personalizing guns can lead to functional issues or damage, such as preventing proper holster fitting or increased wear on recoil springs.
Innovation Solution
A gun attachment with stationary aiming sights and a platform for personalization, including integrated or removably coupled peripheral components, that remains stationary during gun operation, allowing for accurate aiming and easy customization without compromising gun functionality.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional guns use reciprocating sights, then the gun can be simple in structure, but shooter accuracy deteriorates during rapid firing
Solution Approach 1:
The sight system is segmented into a fixed rear sight mounted on the attachment and a separate front sight, allowing the rear sight to remain stationary while the front sight can be adjusted or replaced independently. This segmentation enables stationary aiming references during rapid firing without requiring complex mechanisms for the entire sight system.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of making the traditional front sight stationary and the rear sight movable, the invention inverts this arrangement by making the rear sight stationary on the attachment and allowing the front sight to be adjusted. This inversion maintains a stable aiming reference point while enabling rapid adjustments when needed.
2Adaptability or versatility
If guns are personalized with peripheral components, then user customization increases, but gun functionality deteriorates due to holster fitting issues and increased wear
Solution Approach 1:
Peripheral components are extracted from the gun itself and mounted on a separate attachment that interfaces with the gun's barrel. This extraction allows personalization components to be added or removed without modifying the gun's core structure or affecting its fundamental functionality, holster compatibility, or wear characteristics.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment serves as an intermediary between the gun and peripheral components, providing a dedicated mounting platform that isolates customization elements from the gun's operational mechanisms. This intermediary role protects the gun's reliability while enabling extensive personalization through the attachment's modular design.
3Measurement precision
If attachment is added to gun, then shooter accuracy and personalization improve, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The attachment is designed as a universal platform that simultaneously provides stationary rear sights for improved accuracy, multiple mounting locations for peripheral components, and a standardized interface for easy attachment and removal. This multi-functionality consolidates multiple features into a single component, reducing overall system complexity despite the added capabilities.
Solution Approach 2:
The attachment employs a dynamic fastening system with locking pins that can be quickly inserted and removed, allowing the attachment to transition between attached and detached states. This dynamic design enables easy installation and removal without complex tools or procedures, offsetting the added complexity with user-friendly operation.

AI summary
The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an attachment that can be fastened to a gun. The attachment may include a top surface having a longitudinal axis and an aiming sight that is parallel with the longitudinal axis, a front surface having a latitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the front surface including a muzzle aperture, a left surface, a right surface, and a fastening system. The fastening system may include a first mounting aperture of the left surface, a second mounting aperture of the right surface, and a locking pin capable of being positioned in the first mounting aperture and in the second mounting aperture such that the locking pin fastens the attachment to the gun. The attachment may be fastened to the gun such that the longitudinal axis is parallel with a longitudinal bore axis of the gun.
