ABSTRACT:
A flashlight module that can fit conventional handguns and rifles without requiring major modification of the weapons and yet fits within the profile of the weapons framework. The invention features a chassis containing a flashlight that can be mounted in various positions, depending on the weapon selected. For a handgun, the chassis mounts on the front face of the muzzle. The weapons factory installed hand grips are replaced by modified hand grips that contain the flashlight electronic controls, water proof activation switches, and power source. The hand grips are wired to the chassis via a flexible internal circuit tape in the case of the 9 mm and waterproof quick disconnect cable for the M-16. The apparatus is designed to be used with commercially available batteries providing several hours of operating time.
