I've never been in the military but if you try looking through a scope while airborne and you will be hurling your guts up in no time. It's been known to make some people seasick.
Plus you might actually hit your target with a RDS or something of that sort. When you are bouncing around in the air and you need to get rounds on bigger targets at close range... why not?Last edited by alamo5000; 13 August 2016 at 21:36.

Just use J.B. Weld and be done with it.

Here you go (looks like he was running a 552 that day, but could be a 553):
The point of that flight wasn't to hit anything, but to give exposure to the M107 for my co-pilot and one of the crewman. It's part of the syllabus because the thing is pretty annoying in the cockpit since you're in the gas flow of the brake.
alamo is on the right track. The M107 (and family) isn't a sniper rifle, it's an anti-material rifle, some sort of low/no-power optic helps with what you're aiming for. Years ago when I had some SEALs in the back, they still ran magnified optics on their SR-25s, but that was for a much different mission set and end-goal.

No, I get that it's mission is primarily to neutralize hard targets, I just wasn't thinking in terms of near field vs. distance. I'm straight now, thanks.

I would even say that it's not always near vs far. If you're out taking out cars with a zero magnification optic you could reasonably do so 4 and 500 yards out. I guess the difference will be the ability to detect threats and react in a dynamic environment.

Personally I enjoy these kinds of discussions alot. How to outfit various equipment for different situations is pretty cool stuff.

I can't see taking out an engine at 500 yards with any kind of red dot. Your dot will just about cover the target at that range. Granted, I prize guns like this for the "FUCKING KA-BLAM!!!" it makes than for precision. As clearly demonstrated by the iron sights. Might be a good use for a Big Bertha mount...
