A laser sight may only be acquired and possessed for the purpose of the respective shooting sport, collectors excepted (RelvS § 20¹ lg 4); the weapons act does not mention weapon lights. When hunting, artificial light sources as well as laser and night sights are prohibited; pocket and head lamps are allowed only to check the result of a shot and to search for wounded or dead game.

Laser sights may only be acquired, possessed and used by holders of a weapons permit for sport, hunting, service in the Riflemen's Union or soldiers' training (GŠKĮ 13 str. 11 d.).

Whether the list in the prohibition allows them for these species without dogs as well is disputed — do not rely on it.

The ampuma-aselaki does not mention weapon lights or lasers. When hunting, artificial light sources and devices that illuminate the target are prohibited (metsästyslaki 33 § 1 mom. 5 k.). For wild boar hunting only the artificial light source is exempt — the ban still applies to devices that illuminate the target, such as lasers; whether a weapon light counts as a light source or as such a device is unresolved. Exceptions also apply to tracking wounded game and to unprotected mammals other than feral cats (metsästyslaki 33 § 3 mom., 49 §; metsästysasetus 14 §).

Swedish firearms law does not list weapon lights or lasers among the items it treats as firearms (1 kap. 4 § vapenlagen (2026:408)).

When hunting rabbit, fox, raccoon dog, badger, mink, marten, raccoon or wild boar, a torch is allowed only to dispatch game held at bay by a dog, at an earth or den, and when checking a trap (14 § jaktförordningen (1987:905)); moving lights in close connection with the hunting weapon only when hunting wild boar (14 a § jaktförordningen (1987:905)). For birds and the protected mammals listed in the ordinance, artificial light sources and target illumination are prohibited (10 a § jaktförordningen (1987:905), Bilaga 5 jaktförordningen (1987:905)). The ordinance does not mention laser sights specifically; the app has not checked what the regulations of the Naturvårdsverket say about them.
