The devices and systems disclosed herein improve on existing weapon system control handles, by replacing complicated spring and cam components with a gauge shaft. The use of a gauge shaft eliminates unnecessary part-complexity and extra assembly labor. The use of a gauge shaft increases operational response and accuracy while decreasing cost and weight of weapon system control handles. Moreover, the gauge shafts can be readily repaired or replaced, reducing the overall costs of maintenance associated with damaged weapon system control handles. In alternative embodiments, a disk gauge is used in place of gauge shafts.
