Hehe this is cool shizzo! One of my friends/coworkers/neighbors was in the National Guard and was called to active duty about 6 months ago.
He just came home for a 4 day leave and will be shipped off to Kuwait on Friday. But he brought back pics and a duffle bag full of M82 Aimpoints, Surefire Tac Lights, PAQ 4's and a bunch of other goodies… Funny part is the Army issues all these goodies but the M16A2 and the M4's have nothing ot mount most of this stuff on. So peeps are duct taping Surefires to their foregrips.
My friend was an M1 Abrams Tank Gunner in the Guard, but whe they went Active Duty, he is now a mobile urban armor unit (Humvee Humper).
So on to the pics!!!
M16 A2, EOTech Reflex Site, M2 .50 cal Thermal Site, Surefire Tac Light w/ Infrared tip off filter, PAQ4
Hehe, that big thing on the right side is off an M2 .50 cal, Because this unit was an armor unit in the NG they still have alot ot heavy equipment. Some creative mounting and voila… A thermal imagaing site n an M16A2. The PAQ4 is and Infrared/Laser Illuminator. It has a safety on it that they can only take off out of country that sets the laser to blind the enemy.
