Abstract
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.
Claims7
An aiming system for a firearm comprising:
- a clinometer configured to measure at least an angle of elevation of the firearm;
- a computer comprising a memory storing an initial angle of elevation of the firearm;
- a ballistics chart included in the memory of the computer, wherein the ballistics chart maps a range of a munition with an angle of elevation (α) relative to the initial angle of elevation;
- a first display device which, when in use, displays for a user a calculated range of the munition based on the initial angle of elevation and an instantaneous angle of elevation of the firearm;
- a semitransparent surface superposing over the target an image at infinity of a screen displaying the calculated range;
- and
- movable designation means, the computer being arranged to move, when in use, said movable designation means along a vertical axis so as to keep said movable designation means at the initial angle of elevation.
