Abstract

Le dispositif selon l'invention peut être activé de manière intuitive à partir de la crosse (2) de l'arme en position de tir sans que le dispositif interfère avec les mécanismes que l'arme peut comporter sur ses côtés, ce qui constitue ainsi une solution optimale pour les armes dont la forme empêche le positionnement de dispositifs similaires hors de la zone du rail, que comportent habituellement certaines armes à cette fin. Les constituants du dispositif sont distribués dans des parties distinctes de l'arme et interconnectés électriquement, et comprennent un activateur (4) situé dans la crosse (2), un moyen d'éclairage (6) situé dans une position avancée par rapport à la crosse (2) et dans un côté de la carcasse (10) et une source d'énergie (5). Le dispositif peut être intégré dans l'arme ou peut être un support (7) adaptable à la carcasse (10).
