## Abstract

A battlefield illumination module having a light source for a handgun, a handgun with an appropriate battlefield illumination module and a holster for accommodating an appropriate handgun, wherein the light source includes a primary light source which is designed to be extendable from a rest position to a working position.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A battlefield illumination module having a light source for a handgun, wherein the light source comprises a primary light source which is designed to be extendable from a rest position to a working position.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 1, wherein the light source has an energy supply and the light source is only connected to the energy supply in the working position.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 1, wherein the light source further comprises a secondary light source and that-the secondary light source is formed by at least one laser.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 3, wherein the secondary light source is formed by a plurality of lasers of different wavelengths and a first switching element for selecting at least one laser is provided on the battlefield illumination module.

### Claim 5 (depends on 3)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 3, wherein a symbol-imaging ancillary lens is positioned in front of at least one laser of the secondary light source.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 5, wherein different symbol-imaging ancillary lenses are positioned in front of the plurality of lasers.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 1, wherein a second switching element for the primary light source and/or the secondary light source is provided on the battlefield illumination module.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 1, wherein a third switching element, by means of which the primary light source can be put into a non-light-emitting state as required, is provided on the battlefield illumination module.

### Claim 9 (depends on 8)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 8, wherein the third switching element is formed by a brightness sensor.

### Claim 10 (depends on 7)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 7, wherein the second switching element is formed by a sensor arrangement.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

A handgun having a trigger and a battlefield illumination module according to claim 1, wherein a sensor arrangement detects the immediate area of the trigger.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

A holster for accommodating the handgun according to claim 11, wherein said holster has an electrical holster contact for conducting a charging current which is connected by means of appropriate wires to an energy source which is external with respect to the battlefield illumination module, and that, when the handgun is located in the holster, the energy supply of the light source of the battlefield illumination module attached to the handgun is connected to the holster contact by means of the electrical contact.

### Claim 13 (depends on 2)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 2, wherein the light source further comprises a secondary light source and the secondary light source is formed by at least one laser.

### Claim 14 (depends on 4)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 4, wherein a symbol-imaging ancillary lens is positioned in front of at least one laser of the secondary light source.

### Claim 15 (depends on 6)

The battlefield illumination module according to claim 6, wherein the symbol-imaging ancillary lenses are replaceable.
