I've also never seen a flashlight attached to a what amounts to a medium range sniper or "designated marksman" rifle. The light will certainly illuminate the target, but its also giving your position away. The LAST thing a real sniper would want. A flashlight is really only used in CQB situations; SWAT takedown, MOUT combat, Afghanistan cave search, etc. A SPR is certainly not meant for those situations. Except in a supporting sniper role.

A SUREFIRE M970 OR M980 SERIES CERTAINLY MAKES NAILING COYOTES, BEAVERS, AND OTHER VARMITS A LOT SIMPLER. CAN'T HIT THEM IF YOU CAN'T SEE THEM!
POLICE SNIPERS HAVE PURCHASED THESE LIGHTS FROM US, AS WELL, WITH AN EXTRA-LONG CABLE PRESSURE PAD SWITCH SOMETIMES. THIS THEY CAN USE AS A "BITE SWITCH", APPARENTLY, MAKING SWITCH MANIPULATION A MUCH SIMPLER PROCESS WHILE IN POSITION ON THE WEAPON FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. WES GRANT [URL]MSTN.BIZ[/URL] |

From an earlier post... These belong to member Victor. When it was first posted it was described as the LE Version SPR. Light makes more sense in that situation than a military SPR.
