-wikipediaThe Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight (normally pronounced ACOG) is a commonly used telescopic sight for rifles, particularly tactical and assault rifles, such as the automatic M16. ACOGs are manufactured by Trijicon in Wixom, Michigan.
In contrast to sniper rifles, which generally have special or hand-crafted scopes that can magnify in excess of 10x, ACOGs generally only possess magnification of 2x–5x (depending on model). They feature a tritium-illuminated reticle for nighttime use — unlike "red dot" electronic sights, such as the Aimpoint CompM2 (known in the U.S. military as M68 CCO), these scopes do not require batteries. The United States Army and Marine Corps both field ACOGs, and these models are assigned a National Stock Number (NSN) and GSA cage code. They are tough, durable, high-tech optics — and they are priced accordingly.
Would it be possible to implement these, onto say, an M16 in game?
This of course would balance it out with UK forces if you so choosed to use the SUSAT sight.
Some pictures:The ACOGs are internally-adjustable, compact telescopic sights with tritium illuminated reticle patterns for use in low light or at night. Bindon Aiming Concept (BAC)* models feature bright daytime reticles using fiber optics which collect ambient light. The ACOGs combine traditional, precise distance marksmanship with close-in aiming speed. Although the ACOGs have many features which are very advantageous for military use, they were developed by Trijicon without government funding.
Designed for use with the M16 family, every feature of its mechanical and optical design was chosen for a single purpose: to provide increased hit potential in all lighting conditions — without failure-prone batteries.
