Do iron sights count as an optic?

Carry handle or bust.

irons are gay, and you're only putting yourself at a disadvantage by using them in the age of modern optics.

It happened in Fallujah or some shit apparently. Anon was most definitely not there tho.

Both Mike Jones and Lukas Botkin suggest Eotech is best for CQB.

>>35126867
shut the fuck up you little faggot, you never served, suck my dick. we don't "keep track of headshots" or whatever the fuck.

>>35126996
fucking source? because the entire time i was in iraq, there would have been no way to track anything as detailed as headshots. we would get into firefights, and sometimes we'd find a few of the guys we killed. most of the time their buddies would drag their lifeless bodies away. the only way to confirm anything is dead bodies. i sure as shit never wrote any reports on any of the firefights i got into, except one where a civilian got killed in the crossfire. CO probably was writing reports to send up to higher, but nothing detailed like "headshots to this many dead goatfuckers". there is no fucking "forensic investigative team" that keeps track of any made up bullshit like that.

Idk man I just read it on Wikipedia once.

>>35126909
i agree never had problems with it

>>35126578
Optic faggot fucker

>>35126867
I have never in my combat experience kept track of, or heard of anyone keeping track of headshots. You'd rarely even find the dudes after a firefight. Either the locals would drag them away or their buddies would drag them away. I never wrote any reports on that shit either.

>dumb ass marine leaders talking mad shit about army optics before 9/11 because muh "every muhreen a rifleman that don't need nothin' but muh irn sights!"
>dumb ass marine leaders begging congress for optics after 9/11

Every time.

In 03', the marine corp looked like the army did when they were invading Iraq the first time in 91'.

>we don't "keep track of headshots" or whatever the fuck.

No, but what happens is that the local Iraqis that recover the bodies see the headshots and think we're executing them at close range rather than drilling them from distance because none of those fuckers can shoot. Then they cry to somebody in the Iraqi government, who then cries to somebody in the coalition forces, who then sees it as an opportunity to show the Iraqis how "just" we are by trying to find some poor Joe or NCO they can throw under the bus for "executing" prisoners.

I shit you not. This is EXACTLY how this shit goes down.
