    I think a rugged red dot, and a rugged weapon light are essential items for this type of rifle. Once you start adding laser aiming devices, or night vision mounts it's no longer a simple rifle in my opinion.

    KISS Rifles

    If it's your infantry carbine or patrol rifle, you should 100% have BUIS.
    It was an H2 on my patrol rifle. It was a cold winter in Vermont and the unit was left on. I can’t remember the brightness level it was on. I know there is a thread here about it. It was not at the max setting. It was on for a fairly short time, 2-3 months. It was well below the often touted years of battery life. I took the rifle out to look at it and was surprised the battery was dead. When I read the manual, ass backward, after the fact. It performed as it should have. It was 100% my fault. All of my RDS are now off and I have DD or similar BUIS on my guns. That was a good training scar. Learning occurred.

    I found one of the old threads. https://www.m4carbine.net/showthread...g-it-off/page2

    Yet there are plenty of special forces types that do the same.

    Rangers use backup irons when using red dot sights. We have a tendency to break stuff, so its good peace of mind. And they weigh practically nil.

    That's a crap justification.

    I was thinking the same thing. I cringe when people ask cops for opinions or says they do something because so and so does and they're a cop. Most cops I know are not interested in guns. The frew Green Berets I know are gun guys and they can shoot! That's a skewed sample. We're friends because of our interest in guns and hunting. That doesn't make them expert in all things firearms.

    Plenty don't when they have an ACOG. Some with CCOs as well. Just my observation walking amongst them.

    Built one last March - sold it last week. I need a Bren 805 pistol more.
