When I was in ( 2 years ago in the 25th ID) everybody had an M4. This is usually the weapon of choice for any "Light" infantry divsion. I think only Mechanized divisions like the 4th ID used variants of the M16.Expendable Grunt wrote:Maybe their basic unit has a M16 in it?
In my company I ran the "Fire Control" shop that handed out all the optics as well as NVG's, Peq-2's etc. The choice between an ACOG and an M68 was often passed down to the platoon level with the ACOG as a preference because of the need to see long distance in the desert and lack of need for a battery as in the case of the M68. Personally I prefered the M68 but I was very much in the minority.
We also had a few thermal sights but these were only ever used on the M240's and only for towers at the FOB. They were great at night in a cold desert but rather pointless during the day.
It would be great if PR incorporated the AN-Peq2 for maps like Bi Ming as anybody who's ever had to do it knows, trying to sight down an M4 with a set of NODs is friggin' ridiculous.

Some units have M14s, and others have the M16A4 or M4-based Squad Designated Marksman Rifle (SDMR); they are equipped with the ACOG 4x or more powerful, variable optics and have floated, match/near-match barrels. The M4 SDMR has been reported as having an 18" barrel.Expendable Grunt wrote:At the squad level, what's the army got for extra reach?
