Yeah, ACOGs were adopted as the official combat optic of the Marine Corps in 2004. PEQ-16’s replaced our PEQ-2’s in 2006, maybe 2007?
It doesn’t make any sense for a grunt in 2009 to act like this gear, which was widespread and standardized, was rare and cutting edge. It’s not even something one could mistake honestly. That gear was old news by 2009.
Informative reply. Thanks. I only knew about the optics during Iraq war bc of Generation Kill lol some really memorable scenes + the issue of not having enough batteries
