Collimator sight A collimator sight is a type of optical sight that allows the user looking into it to see an illuminated aiming point aligned with the device the sight is attached - to regardless of eye position ( with little parallax ) . Collimator sights are ' blind ' sights ; that is , they are used with both eyes open while one looks into the sight , with one eye open and moving the head to alternately see the sight and then at the target , or using one eye to partially see the sight and target at the same time . Collimator sights are a relatively old idea , being used in many forms for almost 100 years . They are also referred to as collimating sights or " occluded eye gunsight " ( OEG ) . Description . The basic layout of a collimator sight is a closed tube with a lens at its open end and a luminous reticle mounted near the closed end at the focus of the lens , creating an optical collimator . The reticle is illuminated by an electronic light source ( an incandescent light bulb or , more recently , a light - emitting diode ) or by ambient light gathered behind the reticle via an opalescent window or fiber optic light pipe . Applications . Collimator sights as weapon sights are considered to be very simple , rugged and low cost devices . They have been used on mortar s and field gun s since World War I . There have had more modern incarnations such as the Armson " Occluded Eye Gunsight " ( OEG ) and the Normark Corp . " Singlepoint " . These both used a light gathering rod in a protective clear dome collecting ambient light to illuminate a ' dot ' style reticle . Collimator sights have had uses as a small arms sight for low light situations ( such as twilight or " room clearing " operations ) since there is no intervening optical window that can block the light , allowing the use of both eyes with a relatively un - obstructed field of view . In recent years the introduction of illuminated reflex sight s , and even telescopic sight s ; ( for example the Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight ( ACOG ) using the " Bindon Aiming Concept " ) have replaced dedicated collimator sights since these other types of sights can be used with both eyes in the role of a collimator sight .

Armbrust Armbrust ( German : " Crossbow " ) is a lightweight unguided anti - tank weapon designed and developed by Messerschmitt - Bölkow - Blohm of Germany , who later sold its manufacturing rights to Chartered Industries of Singapore ( the predecessor of ST Kinetics ) . Overview . The Armbrust is a recoilless weapon , and its design is one of the few weapons of its kind that may safely be fired in an enclosed space . The propellant charge is placed between two piston s with the projectile in front of one and a mass of shredded plastic in the rear . Unlike most recoilless weapons , it is a true counter - shot weapon as the mass of the projectile is equal to the mass of the counterweight and they are ejected from the barrel at the same initial velocity . When the weapon is fired the propellant expands pushing the two pistons out . The projectile is forced out the front and the plastic out the back . The plastic disperses upon leaving the back of the barrel , and is quickly stopped by air resistance . The pistons jam at either end of the barrel locking the hot gases inside . Its warhead can penetrate up to 300 mm of armoured steel . Since 2004 , Armbrusts are gradually being replaced by the Singapore - German - Israeli co - developed MATADOR . Combat Use . During the Cambodian – Vietnamese War , Armbrust was also supplied to the Cambodian Khmer Rouge during the same decade . It was used in their fight against the Cambodian government , as well as against the invading Vietnamese Army . Slovenia and Croatia also smuggled stocks of Armbrust for use by local troops against the Yugoslav People ' s Army in the Yugoslav Wars of the 1990s .

He took four grenades ( " " Cipolli " " ) to a leather pouch , each of a size of grapefruit and weighing approximately four pounds . Flying at an altitude of 600 feet , Gavotti screwed in the detonators and tossed each missile over the side - three onto the Tagiura ( Jagiura ) oasis , and one more onto military camp at Ain Zara . Gavotti ’ s scheme injured no one . The oldest known preserved Etrich Taube , in Vienna , Austria , is possibly a near - twin to the aircraft Gavotti flew in 1911 , as both are said to have been powered with inline - four cylinder liquid - cooled powerplants . After this and further missions , the Ottoman Empire issued a protest . The dropping of bombs from balloons had been outlawed by the Hague Convention of 1899 , but Italy argued that this ban did not extend to aircraft . Night mission . Gavotti performed the historically first night mission of a heavier - than - air aircraft . It took place as part of the same campaign in Libya on 4 March 1912 .

Callières , the local French governor , responded by massing 700 - 800 French and allies at the fort at La Prairie , on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River . The battle . Schuyler surprised the much larger French force in a rainstorm just before dawn on August 11 , inflicting severe casualties before withdrawing towards the Richelieu . Schuyler ' s force might have remained intact but instead was intercepted by the force of 160 men led by Valrennes that had been detached to block the road to Chambly . The two sides fought in vicious hand - to - hand combat for approximately an hour , before Schuyler ' s force broke through and escaped . Aftermath . The French had suffered the most casualties during Schuyler ' s initial ambush , but the casualties the Albany force suffered after Valrennes ' counterattack meant that they had incurred the greater proportion of loss .

Battle of Messana The Battle of Messana in 265 - 264 BC was the first military clash between the Roman Republic and Carthage . It marked the start of the First Punic War . In that period , and after the recent successes in southern Italy , Sicily became of increasing strategic importance to Rome . Background . The Greek historian Polybius states in Book One of " The Histories " : " Even after long consideration , the ( Roman ) Senate did not approve the proposal to send help to Messana ; they took the view that any advantage which would result from relieving the place would be counterbalanced by the inconsistency of such an action . However , the people who had suffered grievously from the wars that had just ended and were in dire need of rehabilitation of every kind , were inclined to listen to the consuls . These men , besides stressing the national advantages I have already mentioned which Rome could secure if she intervened , also dwelt on the great gains which would clearly accrue to every individual citizen from the spoils of war , and so a resolution for sending help was carried . When his decree had been passed by the people , one of the consuls , Appius Claudius , was appointed to command an expedition , and was given orders to cross to Messana . " After this , the Mamertines forced the Punic garrison out of Messana and invited the Roman force into the city . The Carthaginians crucified the garrison commander , Hanno ( not the son of Hannibal ) , on his return to Carthage for what was regarded as his cowardice and lack of judgement in leaving Messana . The Punic army arrived first , landing at Lilybaeum , in the west of Sicily .
