Most of the muskets I see on this thread have irons, this guy does not have any on his. Is this a common thing in the community?

 

[Squidward]

Elcan is a pretty reliable optic. Holds zero really well and stands up to abuse like a pro. Long story but I landed on top of my gun after a fifteen foot fall and getting knocked out. Was still able to make shots out to 900 meters later that day. That being the case some guys are alright running without back up sights. Some guys carry an extra red dot or something. Just depends.

Thanks, Squidward.

What's up with no optics and pulling ammo out of a can from an assault pack? Was he red on ammo and someone threw the assualt pack to him?

 

[18C4V]

"Green Beret Club" ?

Don't know, I haven't been to the GB Club in years. I'm assumig it's someone's heritage/legacy room. One of the coolest I've seen was at Have Ace West, since they fly for everyone and I mean everyone

Not sure on either account.

I preferred to fire a gun with no optics, I found I could keep a pretty good sight picture through the burst which I couldn't with a magnified optic. On that token though my eyesight may be screwed from chronic masturbation. I did like red dots for jungle lanes but for FSpt I just used irons, a good No 2 will walk your splash on for you.

As to the ammo can, the most he can probably fit on his gear is 400rds and a box on the gun, they have wagons so carrying stuff on the back and sides is going to suck. Having it in the can isn't a dumb idea, and if hes thinking to reload from a pack instead of his vest while he has the support to do so he's a very smart man. I've seen plenty of stoppages from that one round that slipped in the link as I'm sure the rest of you have. Having it in a can mitigates that happening during the day to day jostling if you don't have belt boxes.
