Overview
A laser sight is a device attached to a firearm that projects a beam onto a target, providing a visual reference point for target acquisition. Unlike traditional optical and iron sights, laser sights do not require the user to look through the device to aim. With the ability to use visible or invisible infrared lasers, these devices have become a popular choice for both military and civilian use. According to a study by the [[national-shooting-sports-foundation|National Shooting Sports Foundation]], the use of laser sights has increased by 25% in the past five years, with over 70% of law enforcement agencies using them. The technology behind laser sights has evolved significantly since their introduction in the 1980s, with advancements in materials and design leading to more compact and durable devices. For example, the [[streamlight|Streamlight]] company has developed a range of laser sights that are designed to be used in conjunction with [[night-vision-devices|night vision devices]]. As of 2022, the global laser sight market is projected to reach $1.3 billion by 2025, with the [[leupold|Leupold]] company being a major player in the industry.
