M16A2 optics

[Spartykins]

can we get a rail mount for the M16A2's carry handle for mounting optics aside from the x3/x4 scopes?

also whoever okayed the change to the rear sight deserves a raise

Im glad the new irons are useable

maybe optics with switchable zoom or additional iron sight / colimators on guns side for cqb like we have in bf4 or EFT should be great.

Toggleable options have been confirmed to be something they will bring. There is no official date for their arrival.

Gooseneck mount with a kobra would be 10/10
I feel like the a2 has a secret buff of sounding like security weapons and sharing magazines. Offset by it's low cost, no fullauto and poor optics choices.

Edit
I kinda like it this way, an 'off meta' gun is good to flex on the other team, or just use for fun.
Like the skorpion in COD4

Toggleable optics are something we are bringing, but as far as making these and other new optics possible for the M16A2 we are less certain of that possibility. We want the weapon to have its old school aesthetics, what with it being an older Insurgent weapon after all, and modern optics don't fit necessarily very well on it. If there is a big enough interest established in this though, it's something we can consider!

What, did they do something with the sights?, i have used it with the laser sight 24/7 since previously you lost the target you were aiming at with the old horrible sights

(I feel like nobody likes the poor AKM anymore since i see other weapons taking it´s place as the META gun)

Hahah yeah we got a lot of feedback on that. That's a great example of when gameplay trumps realism. A lot of our weapon sights are expanded versions of the more narrow ones from real life.

I am definitely for a 2x scope on the insurgents m16 if they had it the m16 would be the only gun I used.
