Abstract: A sight adjustment tool includes a surrounding frame and a sight adjustment module. The surrounding frame including two side members and a top member to define an adjustment cavity. The sight adjustment module includes a base platform movably supported within the adjustment cavity in an elevated direction for adjustably supporting a bottom of a pistol slide, two side clampers movably extended from the side members respectively to the adjustment cavity for biasing against two sides of the pistol slide respectively, and a sight adjuster including an adjusting jaw movably supported by a sight adjusting arm and suspendedly supported within the adjustment cavity for engaging with the sight element, wherein when the sight adjusting arm is rotated, the adjusting jaw is driven to slide along the sight adjusting arm for selectively adjusting the position of a sight element with respect to the pistol slide.

Abstract: The invention relates to weapon mount systems that can be locked into a particular position. In an embodiment, the invention includes a weapon mount including a base structure; a mounting structure pivotably coupled to the base structure; a weapon cradle pivotably coupled to the mounting structure, the weapon cradle configured to hold a weapon. The weapon mount also includes a first locking mechanism configured to restrict pivoting of the weapon cradle relative to the mounting structure in a vertical plane, the first locking mechanism comprising a first brake caliper; and a first brake rotor, wherein the first brake caliper selectively engages the first brake rotor. The weapon mount also includes a second locking mechanism configured to restrict pivoting of the mounting structure relative to the base structure in a horizontal plane, the second locking mechanism comprising a second brake caliper; and a second brake rotor, wherein the second brake caliper selectively engages the second brake rotor.

Abstract: The turret of a military vehicle such as a tank is locked in a predetermined position released from this position for installation in another position. The turret has a plurality of holes formed therein arranged in a circular configuration. A pair of lock pins are removably fitted within an adjacent pair of the holes. A single rod is pivotally connected to the lock pins with an operating handle pivotally attached to the rod. Retaining rings are installed on the ends of the rod to retain the lock pins on the rod. The lock pins are angled away from each other and slide on the rod to permit their free entry into adjacent holes. Movement of the handle in a first direction drives the lock pins into adjacent turret holes while movement in the opposite direction withdraws the lock pins from the holes for installation in another pair of holes to change the positioning of the turret.

Abstract: An organic cargo handling system, includes a tactical vehicle, a bed disposable on the vehicle, the bed including a tiltable bed portion, the tiltable bed portion including a quick hitch, the tiltable bed portion quick hitch is translatably disposed on a track, the track being operably coupled to the tiltable bed portion, quick hitch being powerable in a first direction along the track and being powerable in a second opposed direction along the track, and a cargo handling apparatus being couplable to the quick hitch for selective engagement with an article to be transported on the tactile vehicle to advance said article up the tiltable bed portion for loading thereon and to urge the article down the tiltable bed portion for offloading thereof. A vehicle bed and a method of deploying material in a field are further included.

Abstract: A high-mobility artillery cannon system transportable with the cargo envelop of a transport aircraft, includes a lightweight field howitzer, a medium tactical vehicle, and a bed disposable on the vehicle, the bed for receiving and supporting the howitzer such that the vehicle with the howitzer disposed on the bed is receivable within an envelop having substantially the dimensions of the cargo envelop defined within the C-130 type transport aircraft. A method of configuring a cannon system for transport the C-130 type transport aircraft is included.
