👉 A forward weapon, often referred to as a forward sight or forward scope, is an optical device mounted in the front of a firearm that enhances the shooter's ability to aim and track moving targets. It projects an image of the target area directly into the shooter's eyes, typically through a magnified and stabilized viewfinder or by projecting an image onto the shooter's face. This forward sight improves accuracy, especially at longer ranges, by providing a clearer and more stable target image that compensates for the barrel's perspective distortion. It is particularly useful in hunting, target shooting, and military applications where precision and quick reaction times are critical.
