Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles AR-15 For Repelling Boarders, Red Dot or Traditional Peep Sight?

I was in a unit that had three silver star recipients from Iraq or Afghanistan, one person has two awards. All from protracted firefights with the bad guys.

All came home and put red dots and laser lights on their personal weapons, and all recommend them to anyone who asks.

Everyone says their training and superior personal weapons craft were the deciding factors. All sing the praises of being able to acquire and fire on targets who were still trying to get them in their sight picture.

No one who came back after actually being in close quarters combat says anything negative about red dots or lasers for CQB.

And these are GIs, and GIs talk [bleep] about anything that doesn’t work.
