Target control mirror
The target control mirror , also known as a target control device, is an optical device that is mainly used in military handgun training.
The "device" is attached to the existing sight of a handgun or permanently connected to it. It is used to give the shooting instructor the opportunity to recognize and correct any target errors made by the shooter .
The target control mirror is attached to the rear end of a rifle scope or the rear sight . In most cases it consists of a prism , whereby the instructor can see the target line of the shooter from a 90 ° angle, usually from the left, without hindering the target.
While the shooter aims over or through the sights of his weapon, the instructor looks in the target control mirror and can follow the shooter's sighting process. He can issue corrective instructions accordingly.
In the Bundeswehr , a target control mirror screwed to the telescopic sight was used for training on the light Panzerfaust 44-2A1 . The British and Belgian armies used a small attachment that was attached to the rear sight of the FN FAL rifle .
