F41G WEAPON SIGHTS; AIMING (optical aspects thereof G02B)
Description
F41G covers aiming devices and optical or mechanical sight systems integrated with or mounted on firearms and other weapons. This includes telescopic sights, iron sights, laser aiming modules, holographic sights, and adjustable targeting mechanisms that assist operators in accurate weapon alignment and target acquisition. The classification encompasses both the physical sight structures and their mounting systems on weapons platforms, as well as methods for improving aiming precision. Adjacent classes F41B (firearms) and F41H (protective devices against weapons) are distinguished by their focus on weapon mechanisms and protective equipment respectively, rather than aiming functionality.
