ALCON,
DO NOT POST INFO HERE. SEND TO MY AKO listed below.
THIS IS AN UNCLASS SYSTEM. DO NOT SEND ANYTHING OVER THIS NET IF IT IS ANYTHING BUT WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED OPEN SOURCE.
DO NOT VIOLATE OPSEC.
I am looking for any lessons learned, tips, insight etc on the M4/M16 as used in combat in Afghanistan or Iraq. I want first hand info from you guys who have used them in combat.
Examples;
Any experience with PMAG’s in combat, how they hold up, how they function., how they compare to issue mags
Slings: what works best and why for in MRAP, M1151, M114, SUV’s, for dismounted,
Sights; what BUIS works best. Any issues with durability, holding zero, falling off the weapon
ACOG: pros cons, issues. Holding zero. Engaging targets at log range
CCO: Comp M2 or Comp M4 same questions as with ACOG
After market personally purchased gear: what works, what doesn’t
What works for maintenance that isn’t being taught.
Training ?
Same basic questions for M9.
Anything you want to tell me about the weapons , send it.
Weapons training: what was good, what was not included that should have been, what should be eliminated.
I am looking at collecting on what guys in the field have experienced. I have my own experiences but one mans does not a consensus make. I need to hear it from the grunts , the SECFOR, the PSD’s.
If in doubt, send it anyway.
Your input is appreciated.
Email your responses to me at brian.e.perazone@us.army.mil
I would appreciate it if you included your rank, position, time frame in country, years of service and basic location. I will not attribute last names if you request.
The info is what’s important.
