How did people fight with M16s inna house prior to the advent of modern illuminated optics? Because that small peephole drops the light transmission so much it is pretty much unusable

select full auto and aim from the hip
You answered the question with your own pic.
They'd flip to the larger aperture.
big peep wasnt around on all the A1 rifles
And?
how do you flip to the big peep for inna house shooting when the big peep only existed in the A2 and certain A1 rifles with night sights and the majority of A1 rifles had 2 small peeps?
Imagine thinking you need to use iron sights at ranges under 50 yards. Especially when you're not taking the unlikely hostage shot.

>just 360 noscope them
Try shooting outside of video games. It's pretty instinctive.
b***h my fricking SP1 has big peep
must have been aftermarket
mine doesn't
paul harrel's doesn't homosexual
it didn't come like that.
my parts kit A1 came with two small peeps
Peepholes clear up optics in low light.
You can use your fingers or hand to accomplish the same thing.
It cuts out some light wave scatter, the 'extra' photons the peephole keeps out actually degrade the picture.
Are people actually buying that peep sights don't work in low light? I mean they extend the amount of usable daylight you can use.
with the carry handle on my carbine if I point the gun over to a dark corner of the next room I can't see through the small peep, but can through the big peep, can with just looking, and can with an acog.
smaller aperture absolutely cuts down on light entering your eye the same way smaller aperture on a camera reduces the light exposure for the film
>throw grenade into unknown room
>if it lives throw another
Point shooting I imagine
spray and pray perhaps?
you should NOT need to use gun sights to hit something with a rifle from even 50 feet.
if you think you can shoot but you can't just point a rifle from your shoulder or in your arm and hit someone at home distances, you can't shoot.
this, too. just keep fricking shooting. shooting more is always more accurate than shooting more accurately. just fricking shoot.
They actually learned how to aim
Everyone knows you can’t shoot someone inside a house without at least a 12x zoom
You look over it and line up the front sight only. Similar to how the Russians use the AK front sight. It becomes a big eotech essentially.
Not exactly.
You line the front sight on the top of the rear peep.
On god bruh you can’t sweep a house with iron sights and point shooting no cap you need IR lasers and shit frfr
point gun at target. Keep pulling trigger until you or it goes down. Practice so it goes down first. Simple as
Hose clamping d cell flashlights to the handguard
Bowmen trained to only look at their target and never need to line up with the arrow.
A practiced novice could bullseye/9 ring a target at 20-30 yards firing like this.
You wannabe modern men with your statistics and precision gear boner never practice "from the hip" A.K.A. hand eye coordination.
Ever hear of point shooting? At across the room distances you shouldn't need to aim
Go skeet shooting a few times and you kinda learn to just point the gun instinctively, especially for rabbits or close pigeons. But really at close range you just use the front sight. You can do the same with pistols too. Revolver rear trenches milled into the frame are almost unusable compared to contemporary dots, but at extremely close range you dont need more than the front ramp anyway.
was there ever an instance of the c**ts just drilling the c**t out hollow for a big sight picture
yes, specifically for CQB in Iraq if memory serves. I'm sure an arfcom search will pull up relevant info
Large aperture or just look over the rear sight and aim a little lower with the front sight post. It's a fricking house. You are shooting at someone a few feet away, likely. It ain't rocket science. Even retired socom gays preach the technique of getting your head out of your optic at CQB distances. It's all about situation awareness and firing first, not pinpoint accuracy.
Look over the top of the sights.
The real answer is they really didn't. Hue city then Fallujah was a big gap.
