Has anyone ever noticed...?

[Vago]

The mistakes on the M16A2 sights? No, not the part about the M203. Well, if you have, don't bother reading this.

Well, along my journeys through the world of INF.... Well.... Lemmee rephrase that... In my spare time, guarding known choke points, I've become very familiar with the M16's sights. A little too familiar, actually.

The first thing I noticed was the change the rear sight takes from hip to shoulder. If you look at the top of the rear sight at the hip, you'll notice it's quite large. However, when you bring it to your shoulder, it ghosts against the scenery it's so small.

Ah, sheat! The image.... Right, I bring into account piece of evidence article A!

Now, after that, I began to examine the sights even more, and found something that I couldn't believe I hadn't seen earlier, although I do admit that I thought something wasn't right.

Ahh! Geezuzmarionyosheph! I'm forgetful today... Well, if you look at the above diagram, you'll notice the hexagon is most awkwardly unsymetrical, giving the sight a strange LOS.

Now, I realize that these aren't things that will take priority, such as a weapon that doesn't reload or something similar, but I just thought I'd point this out to anyone who cared.

they also shoot low.

I think the imbalance is due to the gun wobble... as for the size, I really don't see any difference...

The low-shooting M16 has been pointed out a few times already, first by Tiffy I believe...

[Vago]

Whaddya mean you can't notice the size difference? It's right there! The hip shot is quite wide, and the shoulder shot is ghostly thin.

As for the distortion, I watched it through the entire gun wable loop. It doesn't change. But, again, I don't expect the devs to fix this little thing until they've finished with EVERYTHING there is to be done (We all know how long that's gonna be), if at all.

I noticed the difference thickness of the top aperture too. Probably this happens because you are looking from above when hipped, and straight at it when aimed. I guess this is becuase it is one of their older models, where they were less experienced than with the newer ones (ex. M249).

BUMP*

The sites are fugly, and buggy....:D

[FiringAimlessly]

*checks again*

Oh, you mean the TOP... I thought you meant the aperture itself... hmm... yeah, looks like a problem with perspective, when I switch modes in a really laggy game I don't see the momentary complete disappearance I'd expect if the model was being replaced...
