       6 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   at least individual areas of the base plate ( 02 ,  15 ) comprise magnetic material.   
   
   
       7 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 3 ,
 characterized in that   diametrically opposite clamping jaws ( 06 ,  16 ), which at least regionally enclose the barrel rail ( 20 ), are provided laterally on the base plate ( 02 ,  15 ).   
   
   
       8 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 7 ,
 characterized in that   at least parts of the jaw faces of the clamping jaws ( 06 ,  16 ) and/or parts of the side of the base plate ( 02 ,  15 ) facing toward the barrel rail ( 20 ) are provided with a friction-increasing layer ( 05 ), in particular a friction-increasing film.   
   
   
       9 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 7 ,
 characterized in that   at least one magnet ( 04 ) is attached in or on each clamping jaw ( 06 ,  16 ).   
   
   
       10 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 7 ,
 characterized in that   at least individual areas of the clamping jaws ( 06 ,  16 ) comprise magnetic material.   
   
   
       11 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 1 ,
 characterized in that   at least individual magnets ( 04 ) comprise magnetic film ( 17 ,  18 ).   
   
   
       12 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 7 ,
 characterized in that   the clamping jaws ( 06 ,  16 ) enclose partial areas of a barrel ( 13 ) of the weapon in a formfitting way.   
   
   
       13 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 7 ,
 characterized in that   the clamping jaws ( 06 ,  16 ) are mounted on the base plate ( 02 ,  15 ) so they are displaceable perpendicularly to the barrel rail direction, so that, in addition to the magnetic fixing of the device ( 01 ,  14 ) on the barrel rail ( 20 ), they may exert a removable mechanical clamping effect on the barrel rail ( 20 ) and/or on the barrel ( 13 ) of the weapon.   
   
   
       14 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 13 ,
 characterized in that   the clamping jaws ( 06 ,  16 ) are mounted on the base plate ( 02 ,  15 ) by a dovetail guide ( 07 ,  12 ).   
   
   
       15 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 13 ,
 characterized in that   at least one clamping jaw ( 06 ,  16 ) may be clamped in a lockable way against the barrel rail ( 20 ) and/or the barrel ( 13 ) of the weapon using a locking lever ( 03 ).   
   
   
       16 . The device ( 01 ,  14 ) according to  claim 1 ,
