Sir, what could the fundamentals possibly bring to the table that technology doesn't? I mean really, what a quaint and archaic mindset. Hardware is more important than humans. Or however it goes.

In general issue still the standard 1.5x. ACOGS for operational deployments with a mix of both across the Infantry Bn's. The new LMT MARS-L will all come with TA-31(NZ) ACOGS as the standard optic across the NZDF.

Cool thanks.
OK, cool.
I did a field ex in Bindoon back in the day, we were issued Aussie Steyrs. they were not the same as the Kiwi ones (even though both were made by Lithgow). The Aussie ones were tinny and crappy compared to ours. Plus I didn't like the absence of the cross hairs in the circle/donut.
I read somewhere they had just signed off on the Elcan DR Spectre being the new standard sight for the EF88.
Now that you mention it, reckon you're right, those ACOGs must be the left overs from the ones purchased for Afghanistan.
1: 4 points of contact with a rifle.
2: Look through the rear peep, focus on the top center of the front post.
3: Aligning the center of the front sight in the middle of the blurry mass.
4: Applying pressure to the trigger, until bang.
5: Hold trigger to rear, until recoil has settled.
6: Reset trigger.
Or something like that....
