| From some of the pictures I have seen it looks as if Marines are using m16A4 rifles, with aimpoints mounted on top but no back-up irons. Is this correct, and if so why don't they have some sort of back-up sight? |
| Except for the SOPMOD kits most people in the military, not just the Corps, get the regular detachable carry handle. If the Aimpoint fails they have to remove the Aimpoint and attach the carry handle. It isn't unusual to see the carry handle attached to the hadnguard rails so that it will be quickly available if needed. |
