So why don't you own an ACOG anon?
>>34848599
i don't have a federal supply line giving me the best gear available
I'm not in the middle east.
Can't justify the cost at my current income
Really want one though.
>>34848599
Because I enjoy a decent eye relief
>>34848599
Thus story is false and you are a shitty never served.
>>34848599
Thank you for your cervix

Thanks for the pension
>>34848726
>Calls others poor
>Fanboys the combat optic of the utterly destitute
Call me back when you can afford a Spectre
>>34848744
I can, qualified on it. I prefer optics that aren't designed for crew served GPMGs on my carbines, but hey, that's just me. I also don't like to run IOR Val 40mm objective lenses on my 22 LRs
>>34848726
>"stop being poor"
>personally used said equipment under uncle sam's and taxpayer's dime
>>34848744
Not the same guy but specters are heavy as shit, the zero can be lost when you switch magnification (according to the internet at least, only used fixed power ones so haven't ezperienced it), and the light transmission isn't great if you have to shoot in low light conditions.
>>34848763
SHUDUP I LOVE ME SPECTERS REEE :(
>>34848763
>>34848822
Yeah also, zero keeps just fine and low light is also fine.
>>34848726
So why did you chose to be dumb, OP?
>>34848599
Fake story
>>34848757
>thinking the spectreDR is designed for a GPMG
nigga you smoking crack
>>34848757
Dont the canucks use the spectre as standard issue on their rifles? They look pretty damn similiar.
>>34849083
From what I understand, the C79 and M145 are the same scope with different mounts.
And those two different from the Specters that come in the newest SOPMOD kit that you see on Mk. 17s and Gucci M4s.
>>34849191
They gave us sopmod kits but then also 20rdrs from nam....
>>34848599
Find me a similar optic with a 5.45 reticle that is low enough for an AK and isn't a fucking pound.
>>34848822
ADF?
>>34848599
because I use this my man
>>34848599
But I do.
>>34848599
Because I can hit shots, you would need an acog for, with a red dot
>>34849516
holy god that looks like an abortion gone wrong
>>34849516
This rustled my jimmies more than it should have.
>>34849516
ok now what is going on here
>>34848599
>2016+1
>Not having a 1-6/8x variable optic
>>34848757
Where's your ACOG then? Your PA chink prism trash doesn't count.
>>34848599
>So why don't you own an ACOG anon?
Because my unit now uses the Spectre DR 1-4x. The only guys who still use an ACOG are old hardcore DCU fucks that can't get with current year.
>>34848599
Because in Norway, everybody gets an HK416 with an aimpoint. We are too poor for acog I guess
what so special about the acog how does it look like looking through
>>34848599
My entire Brigade has ACOGs in Baghdad in 2007. They are absolute money, I only witnessed 1 of them shatter and I believe it was dropped off of a truck or from the top of the guard tower. Positively IDing a shooter or weapon at any distance past 200m can be impossible but the ACOG helps tremendously
>>34849516
god damn it
>>34849558
>>34849609
>>34852110
>poorfags
>>34848599
I don't have a good enough lawyer to justify killing someone 200m away when my property doesn't have a clear line of sight anywhere that's more than 100m
I'm a civie who lives in the real world, get mad
>>34848726
Show us yours
>>34851820
that's sad man I hope you guys get upgraded to k16i's soon
>>34848608
HAHAHAH best gear how rich obviously you've never deployed
>>34849292
Ja,
Pic is me
>>34848599
i don't need a magnified optic to kill niggers in my living room
Bullshit story, kys kiddo
>>34848599
I don't live in Afghanistan
>>34848599
>So why don't you own an ACOG anon?
I used to. Then I found out variable power optics were a thing, sold it to some GI cosplayer for the same money it cost me, and never looked back.
It's a good combat optic that won't shit the bed on you, but the same money will get you much better glass nowadays (or if you insist on fixed power optics, you can buy an equivalent to the ACOG for much less).
>>34852815
They let you have a Marine Corps bayonet?
>>34848599
Only a fool doesn't take advantage of modern optics technology. I was a fudd in 2003. In 2017 the only modern rifles that don't have optics are the ones I can't afford to buy them for yet.
>>34853242
Yeah considering the alternative is the standard issue m7 bayonets that are relics from nam...
Just like the 20rders they gave us for the m4s see >>34849191
