The present disclosure relates to a primer for a personal firearm. The primer includes a primer cup including a cylindrical side wall closed at one outer end by a bottom; a pyrotechnic charge placed in the primer cup; an electrical component suitable for producing the thermal energy needed for priming the pyrotechnic charge, the charge being in contact with the electrical component; a printed circuit board, said printed circuit board having an internal face comprising the electrical component in contact with the pyrotechnic charge, characterized in that said printed circuit board forms at least in part the outer bottom of the primer cup.

Electrical priming of a firearm primer

A mounting rail for a firearm is described, wherein the rail includes at least one catch arranged on a flat upper surface of the rail. The at least one catch serves as a means of fixation for at least one accessory. The rail also includes a housing that extends longitudinally, and the housing is suited to receive a printed circuit board allowing for an electrical connection with the accessory. The housing is partially defined by at least one recess, each recess being arranged between two opposite flanks of the corresponding catch. A top of the corresponding catch extends transversely on either side of a median plane of the rail above the housing.

Mounting rail for firearm

The present invention relates to a telescopic sight for a firearm for firing in a downward arc comprising: &#x2014;a first movable mirror defining a first optical axis, the angle of said first movable mirror being adjustable so as to transmit, during use, the image of a target at an angle of 90&#xb0;&#x2212;&#x3b1; with respect to the axis of the barrel of the firearm, &#x3b1; being the desired angle of elevation for a given shot; &#x2014;an objective lens, on the first optical axis; &#x2014;a second mirror at 45&#xb0; with respect to the first optical axis, defining a second optical axis that is parallel to the axis of the barrel of the firearm; &#x2014;an ocular lens on the optical pathway defined by the mirrors projecting the image of the target to infinity.

Telescopic sight

The present invention relates to a firearm aiming system comprising: an inclinometer measuring at least the angle of elevation of the weapon; a computer comprising a memory of an initial angle of elevation; a ballistics chart included in the computer, which matches a shooting distance with an angle of elevation (a) relative to the initial angle of elevation; a first display device which, when in use, displays for the user the shooting distance as a function of the initial angle of elevation and the instantaneous angle of elevation.

Aiming device and method

A viewfinder with a mobile red dot comprising a first stationary light source and a first reflective strip, the light source generating a first collimated light beam which is projected onto the reflective strip so as to materialize a red dot or grid visible for the shooter by the reflection on the reflective strip, the first beam being projected onto the reflective strip by means of a rotary mirror with adjustable angle of inclination relative to the first light beam.
