Suicide Commando 0 Posted January 16, 2005 Share Posted January 16, 2005 Wow, very cool Chems. And that's a real odd restriction. I would think they'd want you to use anything that facilitates your mission which doesn't conflict with US and Iraqi rules/laws for PMCs. I mean what was the point then from switching from your AK to the M4. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

EricJ 0 Posted January 19, 2005 Share Posted January 19, 2005 No....but we've already been "warned" that there's to be NO GUCCI kit on the M4's,and that includes sights!! It's getting argued up in Baghdad that anything that makes you aquire and kill your target quicker has to be an asset,the head shed are not into it at all......but there's nobody down here to see me,and the lads all want an Eotech now!!.......easy to take off and replace with the carry handle incase we get a "visit"!! ← That's gotta suck, while the EOTech's take AA batteries, still, it's quicker to just have a good flip up BUIS. My Aimpoint's been running straight for four months (or less) with the same battery, but still keep that BUIS mounted. But Cobra, I'll get the pic you're looking for tomorrow.

snowpilot 0 Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 I'd have to agree on the puzzlement behind the kit restrictions. As long as the weapon doesnt provide a silluette that resembles a Kalashnikov or other non-coalition weapon, or doesn't sound like an AK, then what's the prob? Still, for a contractor it seems kinda overkill to have a tricked out primary unless you're heading into really hot areas. Even then, it's not like you're going to be engaging in combat unless some damn fool decides to make Uncle Sam or John Bull any angrier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even though they're contractors, there's still the ease of use factor that I believe plays a significant role when choosing a weapon. I've fired guns using an ACOG reflex sight, a scope similar to an aimpoint, a ten power scope, and iron sights, and I can attest that the reflex and the aimpoint type scope was the easiest to aim and fire with. The ACOG reflex was on a Colt Commando, and also had the opportunity to fire one on iron sights. With the reflex, target acquisition and focus was a lot faster and simpler, plus you could keep both eyes open. Same deal with the Aimpoint type scope, just a simpler setup then looking down the barrell with one eye, lining up the two sights, focusing on the front sight, putting the post\dot on the target, and firing. I think that's a pain in the ass. With the reflex, put the dot\chevron\mini-ret where you want the bullet to go, fire. Edited January 20, 2005 by snared_gambit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Argyll 1 Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 Give the man a cigar!!...........Gambit is spot on,it's both eyes open,locate,aim and shoot.......Snow...we still need to train,and if the kit and sights work in training then they'll work when you need them most! I was on the ranges today,with our team,and we'd double booked with the RAF Regiment and some Marines,they let us on to zero,and fire the glocks ,for a go at our M4's,the RSM fired mine with the Eotech,and he was amazed at how quicky you can aquire the target and shoot and scoot,compared to aiming with the iron sights!

Oh yeah, heavy contact, anykind you can think of. Fallujah may be pacified, but there will always be a knucklehead. Baghdad? VBIEDs are the name of the game, though I bet there are some RPG gunners, and small arms jockeys. Tikrit? Heard a lot of small arms fire while I was in the FOB during the afternoon. Where I work? eh... quiet for now. Back on track, it boils down to the personal preference. I would go with the EOTech, but it's too big, the Aimpoint is compact. Yet, yeah, it's a pain sometimes to bring dot on line mit front sight post, but then again, practice helps too As for iron sights..... depends, on what model you got. I roll with a GG&G BUIS, so I got both the large peephole (good for CQB) with the small 300m "long range" peephole, to include the Aimpoint. Hell, if you're that close, front sight post works too. But one thing is that both-eyes open shooting is the way to go. Matter of fact, I qualified with both eyes open, it's a matter of focusing your eyes appropriately, though a few times I had to close the other eye so I could maintain focus. The ACOG can of course be used for both eye shooting but it takes about the same time with the Aimpoint to align and engage. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JTF-2 0 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 that's a beauty the only thing i'd sugest is trying to make the mesh on the stock belnd together more. I mean, it's clear where you've made seperate pieces, try to make the transition smoother. very nice though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
