Underbarrel flashlights

Underbarrel

— flashlights designed to be mounted on a weapon are most often under the barrel, but installation on the side is often allowed. Many of these models, in fact, are hand-held compact flashlights (see the relevant paragraph), supplemented by a removable weapon mount (or the ability to install on such a mount — see "Packaging"), as well as, in most cases, a remote button (see . "Features"); however, there are also purely underbarrel models in which the mount is not removed.

In both cases, the mount is usually designed for a standard Weaver / Picatinny rail, but this point needs to be specified separately. This also applies to the possibility of full-fledged use with firearms: the fact is that some underbarrel lights are intended for airsoft drives and are simply not designed for powerful recoil.
