Abstract
A firearm includes a rail; a mount attached to the rail; a lens attached to and rotatable with respect to the mount; a light source that reflects a light off a reflective surface of the lens to aim the firearm; a hood rotatably mounted and in contact with the lens, wherein the hood folds over the lens in a collapsed configuration and is angled from the lens in a deployed configuration, and the hood and the lens each pivot on respective axes that are parallel to each other.

A firearm, comprising:
- a rail;
- a mount attached to the rail;
- a lens attached to and rotatable with respect to the mount;
- a light source that reflects a light off a reflective surface of the lens to aim the firearm;
- and
- a hood rotatably mounted and in contact with the lens, wherein
