gunsight [′gən‚sīt] (ordnance) A mechanical or optical device for aiming a firearm or for placing a gun or rocket launcher in position; based on the principle that two points (the observer's eye and a suitable mark in the instrument) in fixed relation to each other may be brought in line with a third (the target).

A lot of the most significant buttes have names that ought to make spotting them easy--such as Gunsight, which does indeed look like the sight on an old-fashioned rifle's muzzle. This very intense, week-long course emphasized shooting with optics--advanced combat optical gunsights (ACOGS), electro-optical technology holosights (EOTechs) and M68 close combat optics--shooting on the move and behind buildings, using basic reflexive firing techniques and setting up and running a short-range marksmanship range. Similarly, it is likely that France and Germany (again, joined by Russia and China) will be more likely to cooperate in propping up key regional powers that might be the next targets in Washington's geopolitical gunsight. |
