  • Patent number: 4414610
    Abstract: A laser-sighted firing device adapted to be carried in a portable enclosure, such as a briefcase, to conceal the device from detection.

The sighting device is adapted to project an aiming spot to a target along a sight line generally parallel to the line of fire of the firing piece. The sighting device is resiliently mounted on the base and means are provided for adjusting the device to calibrate the laser spot relative to the line of fire of the firing piece. The firing piece has a trigger mechanism that is operated by a lever pivotally mounted at one end on the base and connected at the other end to a solenoid-actuated operating means. The lever is operatively connected intermediate its ends to the trigger mechanism for firing the piece in response to actuation of the solenoid.
