Abstract

The invention relates to an aiming method, aiming system and computer program product utilized in the aiming method where also a real-time bullet velocity of a fired shot by a sniper rifle is utilized. The bullet velocity is measured in a suppressor in real-time for each fired shot. The suppressor sends the measured bullet velocity to a data logger of the sniper rifle. The data logger updates a bullet trajectory to a target after each fired shot and on the bases of an updated bullet trajectory the data logger sends new reticle setting to an optical scope connected to the sniper rifle.

Abstract

A method and a user interface are described for sighting in a virtual scope (100) of a virtual rifle. The point of the impact (118) of the virtual shot is determined, wherein the point of the impact (118) is based on ballistics (111) of the shot, a calibre (103) of the virtual rifle shooting the virtual shot and on a shooting distance (101) of the virtual shot. The virtual scope (100) is sighted in so that the virtual scope (100) can be sighted in based on the point of the impact (118) of the virtual shot. The virtual scope (100) have a substantial analogy with a real riflescope, thereby making the sighting in of the real scope more convenient.
