Gun attachment

Abstract

The present disclosure provides systems and techniques for an attachment that can be fastened to a gun. The attachment may include a top surface having a longitudinal axis and an aiming sight that is parallel with the longitudinal axis, a front surface having a latitudinal axis that is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, the front surface including a muzzle aperture, a left surface, a right surface, and a fastening system. The fastening system may include a first mounting aperture of the left surface, a second mounting aperture of the right surface, and a locking pin capable of being positioned in the first mounting aperture and in the second mounting aperture such that the locking pin fastens the attachment to the gun. The attachment may be fastened to the gun such that the longitudinal axis is parallel with a longitudinal bore axis of the gun.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An attachment for a gun, the attachment comprising:
 a top surface having a longitudinal axis defined therethrough, wherein the top surface comprises an electronic sight;   a left surface extending from the top surface;   a right surface extending from the top surface;   an ambient light sensor positioned adjacent to a window, wherein the window is configured to allow light to pass through;   a controller that is coupled with both the ambient light sensor and the electronic sight, wherein the controller is configured to adjust a brightness of the electronic sight based on an output of the ambient light sensor; and   a fastening mechanism configured to fasten the attachment to a fastening structure of the gun such that the attachment remains stationary relative to the fastening structure while allowing a slide of the gun to reciprocate relative to the fastening structure.   
     
     
         2 . An attachment for a gun, the attachment comprising:
 a top surface having a longitudinal axis defined therethrough, wherein the top surface comprises a peripheral component;   a left surface extending from the top surface;   a right surface extending from the top surface; and   an electrical interface configured to mate with a complementary electrical interface of the gun, wherein the electrical interface is coupled with the peripheral component.   
     
     
         3 . The attachment of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a controller that is coupled with the peripheral component, wherein the controller is configured to adjust a brightness of the peripheral component.   
     
     
         4 . The attachment of  claim 3 , further comprising:
 an ambient light sensor that is coupled with the controller, wherein the controller is further configured to adjust the brightness of the peripheral component based on an output of the ambient light sensor.   
     
     
         5 . The attachment of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 an ambient light sensor positioned adjacent a window, wherein the window allows light to pass through.   
     
     
         6 . The attachment of  claim 5 , wherein the window is configured to direct light towards an aperture of the ambient light sensor. 
     
     
         7 . The attachment of  claim 5 , wherein the ambient light sensor is coupled with a controller that is configured to adjust a brightness of the peripheral component based on an output of the ambient light sensor. 
     
     
         8 . The attachment of  claim 2 , wherein the attachment is configured to remain stationary relative to a frame of the gun while allowing a slide of the gun to reciprocate relative to the frame of the gun. 
     
     
         9 . The attachment of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a fastening mechanism configured to removably fasten the attachment to the gun.   
     
     
         10 . The attachment of  claim 9 , wherein the fastening mechanism is a takedown pin. 
     
     
         11 . The attachment of  claim 9 , wherein the fastening mechanism is a clasp. 
     
     
         12 . The attachment of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a fastening mechanism configured to fasten the attachment to a fastening structure of the gun such that the attachment remains stationary relative to the fastening structure while allowing a slide of the gun to reciprocate relative to the fastening structure.   
     
     
         13 . The attachment of  claim 2 , further comprising:
 a front surface extending from the top surface.   
     
     
         14 . The attachment of  claim 13 , wherein the front surface includes a muzzle aperture with a diameter of at least 5 millimeters. 
     
     
         15 . The attachment of  claim 13 , wherein the front surface includes a muzzle aperture that is constructed of metal or alloy. 
     
     
         16 . The attachment of  claim 2 , wherein the peripheral component is an electronic sight. 
     
     
         17 . An attachment for guns, comprising:
 a top surface having a longitudinal axis defined therethrough, wherein the top surface comprises a peripheral component;   a left surface extending from the top surface;   a right surface extending from the top surface; and   a fastening mechanism configured to fasten the attachment to a fastening structure of a gun such that the attachment remains stationary relative to the fastening structure while allowing a slide of the gun to reciprocate relative to the fastening structure.   
     
     
         18 . The attachment of  claim 17 , wherein the left surface includes an aperture, wherein the right surface includes an additional aperture, and wherein the fastening mechanism is a takedown lever configured to be removably inserted through both the aperture and the additional aperture. 
     
     
         19 . The attachment of  claim 17 , further comprising:
 a front surface extending from the top surface, wherein the front surface includes a muzzle aperture with a diameter of at least 5 millimeters.   
     
     
         20 . The attachment of  claim 17 , wherein the peripheral component is an electronic sight.
