Abstract: A laser is attached to a weapon and its beam is aimed toward the target; the aiming point of the laser beam is adjustable with respect to the aiming point of the weapon; a lever for operating the laser is located to be operated as the trigger of the weapon is operated and to cause the laser to shine light at the target before the trigger has been operated enough to fire the weapon.

Abstract: A miniaturized laser assembly is mounted on a weapon with the power source and circuitry for the laser assembly being contained within the weapon with no significant visual or actual weight change in the weapons original characteristics. The laser weapon is fired in a normal manner by squeezing the trigger while aiming at the target. The laser emits a harmless invisible signal pulse of coherent light so that if the weapon is aimed correctly a detector indicator unit mounted on a target receives and processes the laser pulse to cause an audible sound signifying that a hit has been registered.
