If FAL has one glaring deficiency, it is the rear sight. Does this aperture perform any other function besides blocking shooter's view around the target area? Was there any reason why this was chosen over something along the lines of M1?

>he doesn't shoot with both eyes open
disgusting
For that matter, why does either rifle use a circular rear sight and a non circular front sight hood? I find it difficult to lock up a consistent sight picture on my M1A. If you make the peep circular and the hood circular, you can line your sights up nice and even, then just put the front post on the target. Why do people sperg about the M1A having the best irons when considering this glaring weakness?

because the front sight hood just protects the front sight from getting canted or damaged and that particular shape allows the most light in, you're not supposed to aim with the front sight hood anyway so it doesn't seem like that big of a problem to me
You sound like a big dumb faggot OP

Op im pretty sure I've seen G3 style rear sights specially made for FALs. I know that because I too think the original rear sight is Ass
tight apertures have a slight magnifying effect, so who the fuck knows I wasn't there when they made it
aperture is useless. shoot with your hand, aim with your faith.
The FAL sight is perfectly fine and it has much more substantial flaws than a sight that's no more obtrusive than anything from that Era or beyond. The camera is also too close on the garand
