The laser borelight is a tool that enables boresight alignment of intended weapon during daylight, low light and darkness without discharge of weapon. 2) The standard shall include interfaces that boresight all 5.56mm, 7.62mm, and .50 caliber weapons. The interface mechanisms shall be easily installed, removable and interchangeable. The interfaces shall not cause damage to weapon's barrel. All interfaces shall retain adequate tightness when installed into the weapon's barrel, including after repeated use. 3) The standard shall not require the use of special tools to install or remove borelight from weapon. 4) The standard shall have windage and elevation adjustments for the projected laser light. These adjustments shall be located within the laser body. Windage and elevation adjustments shall have repeatability increments that maintain setting and are adjustable without use of special tools. The windage and elevation adjustment range shall allow for boresighting at distances from 10 meters to 300 meters. If adjustment caps are present, they shall be captive to borelight body. The adjusters shall be tactile with increments of no more than .5 milliradians. The movement of projected laser beam during adjustmentsshall track in a true vertical and horizontal line. The adjusters shall have positive stops at each end of adjustment range. 5) The standard shall allow user to determine orientation of laser body during low light and darkness conditions. 6) The laser borelight shall have a simple on/off switch that is adequately protected by being recessed or positioned to disallow damage during rough handling or accidental activation of laser. It is preferred that on/off switch is located away from output of laser beam. 7) The laser beam shall be visible to the naked or unaided eye. The laser beam shall contain 90 percent of total energy within a beam divergence of no more than 0.8 milliradians. The laser beam shall have uniform quality and be circular in shape at target. 8) The laser borelight shall be classified and labeled by manufacture in accordance with MIL-STD-1425A or CFR Title 21, part 1040.10.
