Laser Sight	comment	A little laser pointer mounted to a firearm. Allows a marksman to accurately point a weapon in the dark. Also tips off the target (and audience) that someone has a firearm aimed at them. Much more common in fiction than in reality, but Hollywood loves them due to the Rule of Cool. Red dots appearing on the villain's chest looks cool on screen. In Real Life, the laser sight is a only useful in some situations, but it's expensive, can break, many holsters can't accommodate it, it needs batteries, it isn't bright enough to be visible in bright sunlight, and in dim light it reveals the shooter's position and intent immediately to everyone who may happen to be looking in that direction (unless it's an infrared laser and the shooter is wearing infrared goggles, but those are even more expensive and require more maintenance), etc. It does nonetheless decrease the time needed to aim reliably at a target — especially in the dark. Law enforcement uses laser sights for their psychological value: advertising that they are, in fact, pointing their gun directly at the person may encourage that person to give themselves up without a fight. Totally ridiculous, however, is the inclusion of these contraptions on military weapons, especially sniper rifles, since for the shooter it does no more good than what his scope's crosshairs are already doing, and it merely serves to identify the target to the audience. Additionally, at long range the laser beam doesn't reflect factors such as gravity or wind that will throw the bullets off-target — the laser can be useful for estimating the distance to target, so the sniper can adjust his telescopic sight to compensate for gravity, but that's about it. And again, a visible laser sight also reveals the shooter's location and intent to the target, who can then use the opportunity to escape for cover since they know somebody is gunning for them. As this is the only effective means to escape from enemy snipers, every television sniper rifle is shown using one. However, that same ostentation makes them very popular as a Weapon for Intimidation. Someone thinks they're safe? Just give the word, and your embedded team of marksmen will switch on the lights, and the target will look like he suddenly contracted chicken pox. Cue Oh, Crap! moment. Or, just point down at his chest, towards the little red dot that's been trained unswervingly on his left ventricle the whole time he's been talking. Yeah, you could just tell him your snipers have him in their sights, but (a) you could be lying and (b) it just doesn't have that visceral punch of seeing visible evidence of the fact. The best (and most common) use for laser sights is in night combat, where the lasers are visible only through night-vision goggles. This is because night vision goggles are often too big and bulky to allow the shooter to use the iron sights, and a laser is required in order to hit anything. There are, however, night-vision compatible reflex and holographic sights. The laser is also useful for telling where other people on your side are aiming while using night-vision, allowing multiple shooters to aim at the same target and lay down bullets without anyone needing to give complicated instructions as to where to shoot. Laser sights also allow the shooter to precisely shoot a weapon (most likely an assault rifle or a pistol) from the hip without relying on the iron sights or other optics. This is useful if the shooter needs to fire quickly, but it is limited to short range combat only. In video games, a highly visible laser sight is one of a number of ways often used to cue players to the existence of snipers; similar to the classic version, Crosshair Aware, the player is able to see they're being targeted, and (for a third time) allows them to quickly identify the sniper's location (by simply tracing the laser to its source). While this is done to balance gameplay, it's not in itself a justification for the trope; that would imply there were some reason for the sniper to use a visible laser sight, and their presence or visibility is rarely explained in-game. Oftentimes used as a Click Hello alternative for ranged weapons. Sister Trope of Helmet-Mounted Sight, when a similar mechanism is incorporated into a character's helmet/vision.

In a related usage of laser pointers, a laser sight was used to detect the location of a sniper in real time based by aiming it through two bullet holes. However, the sniper spotted the laser dot and managed to avoid capture.

Laser Sight / int_10b03dcf	comment	When the inmates take over the guard towers in Batman: Arkham Asylum, the mook snipers in them use infrared lasers only visible in Detective Mode. Since the rifles were stolen from the armory of the asylum, thus meant for the guards' use, they're there for intimidation. However, if you look closely, you can see they are also wearing infrared goggles - trope cleverly averted. The sequel also manages to use laser sights while still technically averting the trope. The Joker's rifle, has a bright green laser in the shape of a smiley face, but only because he follows the Rule of Funny. When actual-assassin Deadshot snipes people, there's no warning whatsoever. In Batman: Arkham Origins, Deadshot does have a sweeping laser sight. All of these are ultimately for your benefit, as they let you know when someone is aiming at you.

Laser Sight / int_1861f45b	comment	Present (as a Laser Designator) in Starcraft, where a sufficiently observant player can identify the target of an incoming Nuclear Missile by the pretty (and very small) red dot dancing around on it. In fact, spotting the red dot and using it to locate and kill the ghost is the only way to stop a nuclear strike (Presumably with the target designator lost the nuke self destructs). If the laser designator disappears on its own, that means the trajectory is locked and its too late to stop.

Laser Sight / int_20cff8c	comment	Ghost Recon: Future Soldier features the same attachment for most weapons, increasing your control over the weapon when firing; you can't turn it off in this game, but enemies can't notice you aiming at them with it, either. Setting up sync-shots also results in each teammate's gun emitting a blue laser through the Cross-com when they're ready to fire. Enemy snipers have the more traditional fully-visible laser so the player knows where they're about to be shot from; at one point in a cutscene, the player character warns the team that they're about to be ambushed because the enemy snipers are using said lasers. Ghost Recon Wildlands, which is even more Gun Porn-heavy than Future Soldier, offers a wide variety of laser sights as part of its Gun Accessories repertoire. Most are single-beam models, but a few actually have Predator-style triple beams instead. All laser sights increase a gun's accuracy (and sometimes its effective range) by a margin dependent on their respective tier/quality, but many of them are also quite bulky and therefore make the weapon more unwieldy. Strangely, despite most models being compatible with standardized rail systems like Picatinny or Weaver, laser sights aren't interchangeable between weapon classes - a handgun sight can only be fitted to handguns, never to submachine guns or assault rifles even if they use the same rail system. In keeping with the rather downplayed realism, no enemy in Wildlands will ever notice being lasered even when you shine the dot(s) straight into a sicario's or soldier's eyes. Conversely, hostile snipers are smart enough to not use them, making those suckers exceedingly dangerous if you didn't spot and tag them before they spot you.

During the series they also demonstrated repeatedly why laser sights are so impractical for long range combat. It turns out that bullets do not travel straight, so the laser will always just give you an estimation on where it will land, not an absolute. Their favorite method to compensate for this was to instead fire several bullets at the exact same point and then use the laser sight to aim at the middle of the spread.

Laser Sight / int_2930d0c4	comment	Battlefield 3 lets you attach laser sights on most guns after you unlock them, which makes shooting from the hip easier and lets you temporarily blind enemies, but also makes it easy for them to spot you while you're hiding unless you turn it off. You can even attach them on sniper rifles, but as the game simulates bullet drop at high ranges, they can be very misleading like in the trope description as your shots will not hit where the dot is. Battlefield 4 adds on to this with several different variations, including ones that emit a green beam instead, ones that emit three beams at once, and versions that are bundled together with a flashlight, meaning turning off the laser turns on the light and vice versa.

Laser Sight / int_3be31c4	comment	Modern Warfare: In Call of Duty 4, M4A1 SOPMOD kits have laser sights of the infra-red variety, so you only see them when you activate your Night-Vision Goggles. There is a crazy nighttime firefight early on in "The Bog" where everyone has them.note a rare example of laser sights being portrayed as primarily a teamwork aid; yours doesn't really help you aim, but you can see who's shooting at who easily. Many of the guns feature a "red dot sight", in which a red dot is in the center of the holographic scope. Again you'd need night vision goggles to see the entire laser, but the red dot itself is an excellent aiming assit. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Some of the enemies in the gulag and Site Hotel Bravo have visible laser sights. In another level you get to use your gun's laser sight as a targeting pointer for the Stryker. Which carries a .50 caliber HMG. There are few sights more satisfying than watching three choppers being blown of the air in quick succession as you pass your Laser Sight over them. In the Spec-Ops level "Overwatch", a remake of CoD4's "Death from Above", with the second player in place of the SAS team, the player on the ground gets a laser sight with which he can tell the player in the AC-130 where to hand out the ordnance. Two levels of the game are set in the immediate aftermath of a nuke caused EMP, and as such no electronics work. This includes all laser and red dot sights. These guns are now actually less effective, and you'll be better off with a standard scope or ironsights. Call of Duty: Black Ops II turns the Laser Sight into an actual attachment available on most weapons, increasing your hip-firing accuracy. Strangely, despite the clearly-visible beam emitted from the module, and the dot it produces for you, it's hardly noticeable to other players.

Laser Sight / int_45a5656f	comment	BattleTech Expanded Universe novels: "Lost Destiny", a Clan elemental who is hunting Kai Allard-Liao with as few resources as possible uses a laser pointer aimed at Deidre, Kai's love interest, to convince him to come into the open. Kai does so, and the elemental mocks him for falling for it. Kai challenges him to a duel and breaks his neck, no small feat. Averted by "Assumption of Risk." Here, an entire chapter is devoted to the death of a major political player in the Inner Sphere. Ryan Steiner, the Skye Separatist faction leader, is assassinated by a highly competent sniper. While the universe does have some weapons with laser sights (especially targeting acquisition gear, which actually sends targeting data to artillery as opposed to being mounted on a gun), they aren't used in any major sniping events in the course of the 'Classic' series of books. "Assumption of Risk" actually explains that an obvious red dot is generally a work of fiction, used to quickly and easily show the casual movie-watching audience that there is a long-range weapon threat. Instead, the assassin in the story employs a high-power scope and a rifle that has been thoroughly spec-tested and calibrated. "Tactics of Duty" has a variation where an integrated laser Arm Cannon on a Powered Armor unit has a targeting function, triggered by half-closing the hand in the laser arm. This paints an inch-wide green circle on anything on the other side of the bore, a threat one prison guard does not respect (to his immediate and fatal regret).

There's no justification for why enemies can't see the beam, even in stealth. Enemy snipers, SWAT Van Turrets, and Trip Mines or sentries will also have laser sights; in the turret's case, it will even change color depending on its status (red means it can and will fire, a yellow beam that turns off and on repeatedly means it's reloading).

Laser Sight / int_59151283	comment	Metal Gear is possibly the Trope Maker of the laser sight mechanic in video games. Several weapons in the games use a laser sight to show the direction in which the gun is shooting. In Metal Gear Solid, Sniper Wolf targets Meryl, and a red dot appears on her chest. Meryl notices it and just stands there for several seconds as if she doesn't realize what's happening, only to get shot — multiple times — by Wolf. Admittedly Meryl is a rookie, but hero Snake is standing right next to her and fails to react quickly enough to push her into safety. One possible interpretation is that Wolf was using the sight to send a message (effectively taunting Snake and Meryl), and Snake felt that if he acted it might make Wolf shoot while the gun was still aimed at something vital. Another is that the laser sight is only there for the player's benefit, since the graphics were too primitive to really allow the player to see where Sniper Wolf was aiming in the ensuing boss fight. Most weapons in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty have laser sights attached, which are useful because you can't aim down their sights in first-person view. The SOCOM from the previous game does use its ironsights, however, blocking your view of its laser. The EZ Gun in Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater has one of these. But then, it is the EZ Gun, after all. If you call The Boss while you have it equipped she'll chew you out for using it. The Scorpion machine pistol also features a laser sight, which makes it very accurate in single-shot mode. In Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, you can purchase laser sights for some of your firearms in order to improve your aim, as well as the distance at which you can Lock On to a target with the weapon; however, in both single-player and multi-player the beam itself can be seen. Enemy snipers use laser sights in Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain, giving the player a couple seconds to get to cover when targeted. In the sniper battle with Quiet, Miller will point out that a sniper of her skill shouldn't need a laser, so she must just be toying with you, showing that if she really wanted you dead, you'd be dead.

This is a great help to the player, as it's the only way to tell where . However, their rifles, as long-range weapons, lack these sights and rely upon conventional ones. Leon's laser sight is absent in the Wii version. Instead, the player gets a traditional FPS crosshair that is moved around by the Wiimote. Ada and Krauser keep their lasers, though. The Predator-esque Verdugo has laser Glowing Eyes of Doom. Resident Evil 5 does this with nearly all of Chris and Sheva's weapons, even ones with scopes, to both show both you and your partner what you're aiming at. The one exception is the longbow. Enemies with machine guns or rocket launchers also have laser sights, though theirs are bright green.

It may be just for the player's benefit, though, and not an actual feature of the item in the game universe. Interestingly, in The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, the cross-hair sight is an item gained separately. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, the Guardians aim a laser sight at Link before shooting at him. The four Divine Beasts also aim a huge targeting laser at Hyrule Castle from the moment they're liberated, before unleashing a devastating attack at the start of the final battle.

The laser sight is never mentioned again, not even on a later mission where the viewpoint character is right next to two people who are subsequently sniped, so it's quite possible that he normally doesn't use it. note And it's actually a laser rifle, and therefore a nearly-unique example of this trope in which a laser spot-projector on a sniper rifle would actually be any use for aiming.

Laser Sight / int_755b343f	comment	Halo: The Spartan Laser, introduced in Halo 3, is an example of a laser sight on a laser weapon, shining for several seconds (the exact time depending on the game) while the weapon is charging. It makes up for this by being a one-hit kill, though it's not really a sniping weapon, being rather unwieldy at long range. The Forerunner-designed Binary Rifle, introduced in Halo 4, is one of the most powerful man-portable weapons in the entire series. When it's zoomed in, its scope emits a very distinct red beam. This is all for gameplay balance, as it is always a one-hit-kill in against human opponents in multiplayer, while only the most powerful AI enemies can take more than one shot. Halo 5: Guardians's Warzone mode also allows you to put a Laser Targeter on your basic loadout weapons, which reduces bullet spread.

The Volt Driver has no sights, and is aimed exclusively by its laser sight.

Snipers in the world of Nanoha generally avoid this trope. However, having the search spells hover over their targets and loudly announce "wide area search successful" lives up to the spirit of this trope, especially when said target is about to be sniped by a Gundam-scale death-ray.

This can turn into a major Oh, Crap! moment for the player if they're discovered and a whole bunch of bright-red beams suddenly converges on them, considering that snipers (especially the elite versions) never miss and deal a crapton of damage, ranking them among the most dangerous combatants in the game. Far Cry 4, being built on the same engine, graphics and AI as its predecessor, reuses the exact same mechanics for its snipers as well.

The intimidation factor of a Laser-Lok sight (at the time a cutting-edge technology) is a major theme in the episode "Hunter/Hunted", with the villain using a stolen rifle (based on the American 180) to conduct a war of nerves on Doyle. But when the villain sees a laser dot on his chest, he realises the game is up and surrenders peacefully. The Danger Room Cold Open has Cowley shining the laser in someone's eyes to dazzle him so he'll fall from the roof (into a pool of water which is conveniently underneath). The Sweeney episode "Nightmare" came out at the same time and featured a couple of renegade ex-IRA trying to get hold of some experimental laser-sighted rifles stolen from a factory in Utah (another reference to the AM-180, though they're AR-10's on screen).

Laser Sight / int_993ede2b	comment	Ghost Recon Wildlands, which is even more Gun Porn-heavy than Future Soldier, offers a wide variety of laser sights as part of its Gun Accessories repertoire. Most are single-beam models, but a few actually have Predator-style triple beams instead. All laser sights increase a gun's accuracy (and sometimes its effective range) by a margin dependent on their respective tier/quality, but many of them are also quite bulky and therefore make the weapon more unwieldy. Strangely, despite most models being compatible with standardized rail systems like Picatinny or Weaver, laser sights aren't interchangeable between weapon classes - a handgun sight can only be fitted to handguns, never to submachine guns or assault rifles even if they use the same rail system. In keeping with the rather downplayed realism, no enemy in Wildlands will ever notice being lasered even when you shine the dot(s) straight into a sicario's or soldier's eyes. Conversely, hostile snipers are smart enough to not use them, making those suckers exceedingly dangerous if you didn't spot and tag them before they spot you.

Meryl notices it and just stands there for several seconds as if she doesn't realize what's happening, only to get shot — multiple times — by Wolf. Admittedly Meryl is a rookie, but hero Snake is standing right next to her and fails to react quickly enough to push her into safety. One possible interpretation is that Wolf was using the sight to send a message (effectively taunting Snake and Meryl), and Snake felt that if he acted it might make Wolf shoot while the gun was still aimed at something vital. Another is that the laser sight is only there for the player's benefit, since the graphics were too primitive to really allow the player to see where Sniper Wolf was aiming in the ensuing boss fight.

The game is Troperrific to the extreme, so it's about par for the course. Another of the Sniper's possible weapons, the Machina, emits a bright beam of light when fired, and so does the Hitman's Heatmaker when Focus is engaged. One of the Engineer update's new toys is the Wrangler, a remote control for the Engineer's Sentry Gun which wraps it in a Deflector Shield and allows them to selectively target and attack opponents. This is indicated by a helpful laser sight that shows everyone where the Engie is aiming at that moment, and when it's safe to cross—or safe for a Spy to creep up behind the Engineer and shiv him. Robot Snipers in Mann vs. Machine mode have full-length visible laser beams (unless they're carrying Huntsmen, obviously).

They stick to you almost like glue (but you can run to get far enough away from them to force them back to patrol mode), but they have no visible attack. This is explained in that they are broadcasting your location to sniper turrets conveniently placed in the region, and if you stick around for a ten-count (that hastens as you are reacquired as a target), both characters get a headshot. Unless you're packing Wild Cards or the Burning Headband with healing items, this results in an instant Game Over.

But then, a player can also do things like put a sniper scope on a shotgun firing buckshot with a wide choke, so how realistically they are used is really up to how the player chooses to accessorize their weapons.

There's nothing to stop you sticking one on a sniper rifle if you really want to, but it will provide no benefit unless you are firing it without zooming in. An oddity with the game's laser sight mod is that if a weapon doesn't have a scope, attaching a laser sight will make the weapon perfectly accurate regardless of skill or movement. The prototype plasma rifle (more accurately described as a cannon) is capable of using a laser sight (a character even requests such at one point).

Seeing as (all but one of) the "weapons" are re-purposed mining tools, and as such concealability was a much lesser design concern than precision and ease of use. Knowing where the plasma cutting beam will go would be a tremendous help when carving up rocks.

Laser Sight / int_d5166b44	comment	The Spartan Laser, introduced in Halo 3, is an example of a laser sight on a laser weapon, shining for several seconds (the exact time depending on the game) while the weapon is charging. It makes up for this by being a one-hit kill, though it's not really a sniping weapon, being rather unwieldy at long range.

When it's zoomed in, its scope emits a very distinct red beam. This is all for gameplay balance, as it is always a one-hit-kill in against human opponents in multiplayer, while only the most powerful AI enemies can take more than one shot.

Laser Sight / int_d6c9c0a4	comment	Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex used this trope repeatedly. For the most part the usage is justified, as Section 9 uses laser sights on their pistols and assault rifles mostly to intimidate the subject into submitting. It gets less justifiable when the show has snipers use them, and visible ones at that. Especially given that Saitou, being the team's sniper, has what amounts to a full sighting set, complete with a telescope, laser rangefinder and weather lidar, built into his eyes. There was also one episode where they wanted to use an Anti-Tank rocket on an advanced tank. When they pointed the laser at the tank, it promptly noticed and added dozens more identical laser dots to itself. Justified in this case by the rocket itself being laser-guided (it homes in on the dot projected by the person firing it) which also justifies the tank's projecting additional dots as electronic counter-measures. At the end of the original Ghost in the Shell (1995), snipers use infrared lasers for an extremely difficult shot. They are only visible to Batou's Electronic Eyes, but don't show up to the naked eye.

Laser Sight / int_ed2a7866	comment	Sword Art Online: The VRMMORPG that serves as the setting for the first half of the second season, Gun Gale Online, has a variation form of this trope built right in to the gameplay engine. When you put your finger on the trigger, GGO generates a "Bullet Prediction Line" that shows the path your bullet will take from the end of your barrel to the target. The shooter doesn't see it - they instead see a "Bullet Circle" that expands and contracts with their heartbeat, within which the bullet will randomly hit when fired - but anyone reasonably near the receiving end will, and it's just about the only warning they get. The exception is with a sniper's first shot from a prone position, which does not generate a Prediction Line. Kirito quickly learns to use the Prediction Lines in order to deflect shots with his Photon Sword.

Subverted by the fact that it was, in fact, a prank played with a laser pen that depended on Sousuke's paranoid nature — sniper rifles in Full Metal Panic! avoid this trope entirely, so it's a bit of a stretch why Sousuke, being a professional soldier, would react to it at all. Then again, Sousuke is, as previously mentioned, paranoid and might have suspected Reverse Psychology, or could've just not wanted to take any chances. In this case, he was probably acting more on reflex than anything else; when you suspect you are being targeted the first thing to do is Take Cover! and figure out the rest of the situation from there.
