ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for use in compensating for gun sighting errors due to misalignment between the muzzle axis of a gun and the optical axis of an associated gun sighting system is described, comprising a marker and a collimator mounted on the gun remotely from the muzzle and in fixed relation to one another, a reflector fixed to the muzzle portion of the gun barrel so as to be capable of reflecting into the collimator an uncollimated marker beam emanating from the marker, and means for defining an initial coincidence mark whose position is fixed in relation to the said optical axis so that after leaving the collimator the reflected marker beam can form a marker image superimposed upon the said initial coincidence mark, whereby any subsequent deviation of the muzzle axis from the said optical axis results in a corresponding movement of the marker image away from the initial coincidence mark.
