Abstract

A gunsight which includes an elongate light collector with an end facing surface directed to face and overlap an interior hollow delimited by an interior surface of an elongated nontransparent light blocking tube of the gunsight. A lens having a first convex facing surface overlaps the hollow. The hollow resides between the lens and the end facing 10 surface. A longitudinal axis of the gunsight extends through the lens, the hollow, and the end facing surface. When a straight sight line extends from a viewpoint, such as an eye of a person, through the lens, through the hollow, and through the end facing surface, a bright brilliant shining reference point appears in the hollow.

Abstract

A light emission assembly for a weapon sight, and methods of making and using such a light emission assembly, whereby the light emission assembly includes a light conductive member having a light conductive member length disposed between light conductive member first and second ends; a chamber disposed inside of the light conductive member proximate the light conductive member second end, whereby the chamber can be configured to contain a light emitting element; and a light conductive protrusion axially coupled to the light conductive member proximate the light conductive member first end, whereby the light conductive protrusion terminates in a viewing end, the viewing end cross-sectional area lesser than a light conductive member first end cross-sectional area.
