New Lighter Sights For The M4 And M16A4

The current trend toward Light Weight equipment has been driven by combat operations in the mountains and valleys of Afghanistan. This has been driven by the difficulty of resupply due to remote locations, rugged tarrain and a shortage of helicopters. Sighting equipment was an obvious candidate for weight reduction strategies. Not all of these sights were created with military purposes in mind, but the military is quick to leverage civilian technology as never before.

The US military's first general issue optical sight was the Aimpoint CompM2, which it adopted as the M68 Collimating Combat Optic (the first 'C' was subsequently changed to 'Combat'). This was a great success and lead to the adoption of its successor, the CompM4 which was also designated the M68 CCO. The M68s were ultra rugged with the CompM4 improving on the earlier version in a variety of ways, most of all the use of a the readily available AA battery and an astonishing increase in battery life to 80,000 hours continuous operation on a day setting. It still weighed in at 11.8 ounces though. Aimpoint saw a commercial niche for a much smaller red dot sight and introduced the Micro range. This was never designed for combat use, but the NV capable Aimpoint T-1 soon found its way into use with US forces. The T-1 is arguably less strong than the Comps but it only weighs 3.7 ounces with a thumbscrew operated Picatinny mount. The trade-off is a larger 3.8 MoA dot, the use of the less available CR2032 battery and a shorter battery life of 50,000 hours - a small price to pay for the weight reduction. The T-1 is most often seen with the Aimpoint 3XMag 3X detachable magnifier wich results in a very versatile and lightweight package capable of utilizing the entire range envelope of the M4 carbine and M16A4 rifle. The only weakpoint of this combination is the inability to adjust easily for differing ranges.

Another alternative favoured by the US Army is to take its M150 Rifle Combat Optic - itself an adaptation of the USMC's AN/PVQ-31 series RCO, a variant of the Trijicon TA31 Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight, and mount an L3 Insight Miniature Reflex Sight or MRS on top. The MRS will also be used as a short range back-up sight on other systems, partucularly Sniper and Designated Marksman's Rifles. Earlier ACOGs had been used, including the TA01NSN with a built in peep and post peepsight and the TA01NSN-RMR with a piggybacked mounted RMR (Rugged Miniature Reflex) red dot sight. The combination of the M150 and MRS (which has yet to recieve a military designation) overcomes the Aimpoint's lack of range compensation capability at long range and provides a very versatile combination.

L3 Eotech have not rested on their laurels and have produced their own miniature solution. The Eotech EXPS3 holographic sight uses a CR123 sideways mounted battery and weighs in at 11.2 ounces. It gives a genuinely parallax free aiming reticle projected into infinity which can be seen through any portion of the aiming window, even if it is partially obscured or shattered. There is now a variant with a four Dot Reticle to cater for ranges out to 600 meters and the sights are now available in a tan finish. The Eotechs are sometimes regarded as less rugged than the Aimpoints or Trijicons and have shallower depth ratings, but they have found favour with US SOCOM, USAF para rescue and various other units such as the 10th Mountain and 3rd Infantry Divisions and the 1st Stryker Brigade. The Eotech remains a very popular private purchase. The G23.FTS magnifier turns the Eotech into a very versatile sighting system. Eotech also offer their magnifier in tan to suit current theatres of operation.
