Enhanced multi-purpose fire control clip-on riflescope display
A fire-control display adapter for a weapon scope. The fire-control display adapter consists of a display unit positioned at the scope's objective bell and aligned in front of the scope's objective lens. A range finder calculates the distance from a target's aimpoint. A ballistic computer is communicably coupled to both the display unit and the distance sensor. The ballistic computer computes a ballistic solution and causes the display unit to display it. To power to the distance sensor and the display unit, a power source is communicably coupled to the ballistic computer. A mount detachably secures the fire-control display adapter to the weapon's rail.
