More info on the M14 and all that.
I would have to agree with the people who objected against a red dot sight on a rifle. Why would you need a short-range sight for a long range weapon?
I would imagine he wants to depict Delta sniper Randy Shuggart,...who carried one with an Aimpoint site.
He is not the only one to deploy an Aimpoint on a sniper rifle, they are EXCELLENT sites,...and the M14/M21 is Absolutely deployable as a short/medium/long range rifle.
Shuggart carried one into Bakara Market (which was an urban warfare setting, "close, and medium range") because he preferred the stopping power of the 7.62 Nato round, over the 5.56 round.
Personally, I would LOVE to see someone make some good models of rifles with Aimpoint sites (the M16/M4, and the M21 at the least)
