Small Arms Collimators

• Increasing First-Round Hit Ratios to Improve
  Soldier Lethality and Confidence

Realities of Todays Battlefield

• Soldiers are changing sights frequently to meet
  mission requirements/ environments.
• Repeatability of sights following removal and
  re-mounting is questionable.
• The operational environment often does not allow
  soldiers to fire to confirm zero and/ or re-zero,
  if necessary.
• Urban environment, enemy tactics, and presence of
  non-combatants make precision engagement critical.

Francis Barker Small Arms Collimator (SAC)

• The Francis Barker SAC is a precision optical
  device that allows soldiers to confirm zero and/
  or re-zero weapons in the field, to a high level
  of accuracy, without live fire.
• They are manufactured and calibrated very
  precisely in order to ensure that any collimator
  can be used on any like weapon with the exact
  same results/ level of accuracy.
• SACs work with iron sights, optical sights, and
  night vision sights. They are available for
  assault rifles, submachine guns, machine guns,
  sniper rifles, and grenade launchers.
• Laser collimators are available for use with
  visible and IR laser aiming systems.

Key Features

• Accurate sub-MOA accuracy
• (0.25 mils, 2.5cm_at_100m).
• Repeatable any collimator can be used on any
  like weapon system with the same degree of
  accuracy.
• Passive does not emit light or any other
  signature and does not require a down-range
  target.
• Simple easy to use with very little training.
  No master weapon is needed. No adjustments or
  maintenance. No batteries.
• Proven SACs have been in use for more than a
  decade by British and other military forces with
  outstanding results.

Key Benefits

• Adjust or confirm zero on weapon systems in under
  one minute
• after changing sights
• after changing weapons
• during pre-combat checks, or
• at snipers Final Firing Position (FFP).
• Reduced range time and ammunition requirements
  for initial zeroing.

Instructions for Use

• Establishing Personal Zero Position (PZP)
• ENSURE that the weapon is CLEAR.
• If possible, apply a light coat of oil to the
  collimator spigot.
• Carefully insert the spigot into the barrel of
  the weapon. The collimators rubber buffer
  should lightly contact the end of the barrel.
• Take up a normal firing position.
• Rotate the SAC to vertical position (as exact as
  possible).
• Adjust sight to exact center/ initial zero
  position of SAC grid.
• Remove the SAC and conduct standard live fire
  zero procedures.
• Repeat steps 1-5.
• Note exact position of sight on SAC grid.
• Record grid position, type of sight, and range.
  This is the shooters PZP for that sight and
  range.

Instructions for Use

• Confirming or Re-Zeroing Weapon to PZP
• ENSURE that the weapon is CLEAR.
• If possible, apply a light coat of oil to the
  collimator spigot.
• Carefully insert the spigot into the barrel of
  the weapon. The collimators rubber buffer
  should lightly contact the end of the barrel.
• Take up a normal firing position.
• Rotate the SAC to vertical position.
• Adjust sight to PZP.
• Remove the SAC and repeat to ensure accuracy.

Conclusion

• Small Arms Collimators solve a critical problem
  by providing soldiers with complete confidence in
  their weapons after changing sights or changing
  weapons, or after exposing weapons to the bumps
  and knocks inherent to infiltration and movement
  on the battlefield.
• The Francis Barker SAC is superior to any other
  device in accuracy and repeatability.
  Additionally, it is completely passive and does
  not require batteries, adjustments, or
  maintenance.
• The Francis Barker SAC improves soldier lethality
  and safety by improving accuracy and increasing
  first round hit probabilities.
