METHOD OF SHOOTING FROM AN ARMORED VEHICLE INTO A TARGET OUTSIDE HIDDEN BY HOUSING WALL AND A SIGHTING DEVICE FOR SMALL ARMS FOR RICOCHETING FROM AN ARMORED VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC F41G3/14 F41A99/00 F41H7/02 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to methods of using propulsive, mainly gunshot or pneumatic hand weapons, for example, in special "power" (anti-terrorist and other) operations in the presence of armored vehicles, to means of indirect sighting and guidance of weapons. For firing from an armored personnel carrier to a hidden wall of the body, the target outside is intentionally fired by means of a handgun or pneumatic weapon using the ricochet effect from the armored vehicle armor space (A) into target (2) invisible for gunner (1) along the straight weapon guidance line from the outside (in the space B), hidden by wall of armored personnel carrier body with opening to door opening (6) of wall opening. Door (6) is opened at an acute angle ϕ, than the reflecting solid (ricochet body) required for the rebound is arranged. Not protruding from door opening (4), are shot at point D on inner surface of door (6) at acute angle Ψ to normal, recovered in point D, in range of bullet ricochetting angles. Parameters of switches (1) determine from visual calculation of hit by ricochet to assumed point C of target location (2). Sighting device is also proposed to small arms for ricochet shooting from an armored personnel carrier. It comprises fixed solid ricochet body ("ricochetor") with flat ricochet surface of controlled angle Ψ of attack relative to weapon guidance line. "Ricochetor" is double-functional, in the form of armored door (6) opening in hinges (5) with a vertical axis in the armored personnel carrier body.

EFFECT: providing relatively safe for shooter possibility of hitting target behind obstacle wall with door opening, by arrangement of solid flat rebounding obstacle with controlled required angle of attack.
