ABSTRACT:
An assembly for use on weapons includes an illuminated gun sight system to permit the user to aim and shoot the weapon in varying ambient light conditions and including a first light emitting element on a front sight and a second pair of light emitting elements on a rear sight of the firearm, a light generating source to provide light to the first light emitting element and the second pair of light emitting elements; the first and second light emitting elements including a light modifying element to produce a distinct luminous reference shape of uniform light intensity throughout a visible light radiating area. A servo system sensor is responsive to ambient light conditions for adjusting the intensity of light radiating from the light emitting elements so that the intensity of light radiating from the light emitting elements increases and decreases in direct relation to changes in ambient light conditions. A low ammunition warning system includes a detector and a circuit for tracking depletion of ammunition contained in the weapon. Visible and tactile signals, responsive to the circuit, warn the user when a known pre-set low ammunition count has been reached.
