An assembly for use on weapons includes an illuminated gun sight system to permit the user to aim and shoot the weapon in varying ambient light conditions and including a first light emitting element on a front sight and a second pair of light emitting elements on a rear sight of the firearm, a light generating source to provide light to the first light emitting element and the second pair of light emitting elements; the first and second light emitting elements including a light modifying element to produce a distinct luminous reference shape of uniform light intensity throughout a visible light radiating area. A servo system sensor is responsive to ambient light conditions for adjusting the intensity of light radiating from the light emitting elements so that the intensity of light radiating from the light emitting elements increases and decreases in direct relation to changes in ambient light conditions. A low ammunition warning system includes a detector and a circuit for tracking depletion of ammunition contained in the weapon. Visible and tactile signals, responsive to the circuit, warn the user when a known pre-set low ammunition count has been reached.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An assembly for use on a weapon of the type adapted to contain and discharge a load of ammunition and having a central longitudinal axis extending from a proximal and zone, including a proximal end, to a distal end zone, and a barrel extending along the central axis between the proximal and zone and distal end zone, said assembly comprising:a front sight on said distal end zone,a rear sight on said proximal end zone,light emitting means an said front and rear sights for radiating light in a direction towards said proximal end in substantially parallel relation to said central longitudinal axis,light generating means for providing light to said light emitting means upon application of electric current thereto,modifying means for producing substantially uniform light intensity throughout the visible light radiating area at said light emitting means,means for adjusting the position of at least one of said front and rear sights comprising detachable aperture means wherein said aperture is of predetermined size and shape to permit passage from said light emitting means therethrough to produce a distinct luminous reference shape,Light adjusting means responsive to ambient light conditions for adjusting the intensity of light radiating from said light emmiting means, so that the light intensity of visible light radiating from said light emmiting means increases as the intensity of the ambient light condition Increases and, alternatively, so that the light intensity of the visible light radiating from said light emitting means decreases as the intensity of the ambient light condition decreases,a low ammunition warning system comprising:tracking means for tracking depletion of ammunition from said load of ammunition,detecting means for detecting depletion of ammunition from said load of ammunition, andsignal means responsive to said tracking means upon ammunition remaining in said load reaching a predetermined low amount for indicating a low ammunition status.
