1. A clip-on sight system configurable to operate in combination with a primary scope of a firearm configured to fire ammunition received from a magazine inserted into the firearm, the clip-on sight system comprising:
a housing configured to operatively connect to the firearm, the housing comprising a first optical element configured to admit light and a second optical element that enables transmitting a direct view image of a target scene to the primary scope; and
a sight system at least partially housed within the housing, the sight system configured to process the admitted light, to superimpose an image on at least a portion of the direct view image, and to transmit the direct view image and the image to the second optical element, the sight system comprising:
a beam splitter configured to:
permit transmission of visible light with a luminous transmittance greater than or equal to 70% using CIE Illuminant D65; and
permit reflection of visible light with a luminous reflectance less than or equal to 30% using CIE Illuminant D65; and
a graphics projection system configured to generate a computer-generated image, the graphics projection system comprising a 2-dimensional display with a luminance greater than or equal to 50,000 cd/m2 and a power consumption of less than or equal to 100 mW at an average picture level (APL) of 6%.
