Thanks
Here are the spec'd weaponlights for the Mk18s:
SureFire M962
SureFire M952, M962
Insight M3X (Tan)
Insight WMX200 (Bronze)
As far as the MK18 and the appropriate light, it depends on which MK18 version. Most of the Mod 0s used the Surefires and Mod 1s used the Insights. That is not to say that the Mod 1s did not use the Surefires I mentioned as many did, but they also used some of the newer Surefires. For the most part, many of the accessories (optics and lights) were an individual operator's preference, but many were also unit specified.
