Come on, the peace-loving members of Hezbollah would NEVER have a militia of children...



Oh, wait, that's what the headline says.

Force Recon Marines... OORAH!
Chris/Gobbles, like these? They look kind of different, but I was mainly curious if they were running two red lasers or something what the point would be/how the laser being offset would affect sighting - I'm assuming you could angle them and zero them for a certain range...?

Thanks to all that have/do serve... my cousin is flying choppers in Kuwait and Iraq (I forget where he's stationed - I'll look it up) and another cousin of mine is dating a marine sharpshooter who's going back to the mideast for round two or three - he loves it

Here you go:

When you have two systems (visible/IR laser for example) in one housing, there are set screws to adjust the beam to point of aim/point of impact. Each will angle the beam very slightly toward the muzzle to a point downrange (for lasers usually 100m). When in doubt, HOLD LOW!

Are most Marines and soldiers issued night-vision goggles? I understand that the lasers on the Insight Technology AN/PEQ-2 that I keep seeing on these M4 pics can only be seen with night-vision.

The Marines pictured are special operators. I don't know how it breaks down now, but when I was in, out of a platoon of 40, the only guys with NODs were the Platoon Commander, Platoon Sergeant, and each of the three Squad Leaders. The rest of us were SOL. The only time we got one to "borrow" was in the defense at night.

Believe or not, after being in total darkness (just some moonlight), your own night vision gets exceedingly sharp. Not as good as NODs, but not bad. That's why smoking, white light, etc. are BIG no-nos.
