Claims19
A direct fire weapon system training and firing aid, comprising:
- an elongate arm, wherein the arm comprises a first end configured to be coupled to a direct fire weapon system without modification of the weapon system for accommodating coupling thereto, and an opposed distal end configured to extend in a rearward direction from the weapon system;
- a receiver extending perpendicularly from the first end, the receiver comprising:
- an upper surface configured to engage a lower surface of a cross member of a spade grips device of the weapon system;
- and
- at least one threaded recess on each of two opposed sides thereof;
- and
- a first C-shaped clamp, comprising:
- a channel therethrough for receiving the cross member and the receiver therethrough;
- and
- at least one mounting bolt aperture through each of a pair of opposed parallel legs thereof corresponding to the at least one threaded recess for receiving a mounting bolt therethrough, wherein the receiver is configured to be coupled to the cross member by at least one mounting bolt inserted through each of the at least one mounting bolt aperture and threaded into the corresponding at least one threaded recess.
