Infanteer said:Agreed. As I've argued elsewhere here, studies seem to indicate that the Rifle, in a firefight, is not really effective at anything. If we accept this data, then the Rifle is a personal defence weapon to keep the real killers, the crew served weapons, rocking.
Anything that makes personal defence at the 100m or less range a bit easier is good in my books.

GhostofJacK said:C8A3 is standard issue with an EOTECH. Although it does meet the '100m or less' that Infanteer suggested, I personally do not like the accuracy of a holosight for things at that 100m.
