Designed to mount heavy sights of various kinds a great variety of accessories and attachments are now available and the rails are no longer confined to the rear upper surface (receiver) of long arms but are either fitted to or machine milled into the upper, side and lower surfaces of all manner of weapons from crossbows via pistols and long arms up to an including anti-materiel rifles.Accessories - which can include vertical 'tool' or 'pistol' grips; bipods and rests; electro-optical sights including image intensifiers; flashlights and laser sights - can be mounted by sliding into place (or if already fitted with a Weaver mount clamped to the rail), thus providing backward (one-way) compatibility with any items already provided with Weaver-type mounts."@en }
