1) They are heavy
2) They add almost a 1/2 inch to the top rail.
3) Too many screws to worry about
4) Small rail sections can come loose
5) System is very wide
6) I'm not a fan of the plastic underside
7) Your rear sight options are pretty much limited to POS ARMS rear BUIS (which suck).
All in all, they are pieces of shit along with their rear sights. KAC,DD, LaRue systems are a much wiser choice for deployment outside the US.
I'm sure these are fine for the range or AR courses however, in Iraq, they are worthless.
YMMV,
