I saw people say online that the army and marines did not let soldiers use the big hole on the M16A2 sights. is this fuddlore?
>>62527499in training? i guessin practice? use what works
>>62527499I was told the big hole was for when wearing mopp gear because the little hole is too difficult to see through the gas mask.
>>62527499Unit SOP is sometimes bullshit. This is an example of that. Big hole is for low light and rapid acquisition at closer ranges.
>>62527499How the fuck would they even enforce that other than just sawing off sights? Some dudes in Fallujah apparently didn't even use their sights indoors. They would just do point-shooting by looking over their irons or ACOGs
The instructors acted like the small hole didn't even exist from my personal experience
