Certain aspects of a firearm sight system that can include a direct view image, an infrared (IR) video image, and/or an auxiliary video image comprising auxiliary information. The firearm scope may be used as s clip-on sight system that transmits the direct view image, the infrared (IR) video image, and the auxiliary video image to a primary firearm scope. The auxiliary video image may include a bore-sighted reticle image superimposed on the direct view image or the IR video image.

A linear encoder may be used to accurately determine a number of cartridges within a magazine. Further, using a set of magnetic sensors within a buffer tube of a firearm, it is possible to determine whether a cartridge is loaded within a chamber of the weapon and/or whether the firearm is jammed. The determination of cartridges within the magazine in conjunction with the determination of whether a cartridge is in a chamber of a firearm can give a user an accurate ammunition count. Further, the use of the linear encoder makes it possible to accurately determine the cartridge count when different cartridges are loaded into the magazine or when the magazine degrades in quality over time. Moreover, the ability for magazines to communicate with a firearm enables a user to determine a total available ammunition to the user in a single display without individually checking each magazine.
