gun accessories for ar-15 (Camouflage)

Flashlight

Most any mount will weigh less than 3oz. Built in light mounts on weapons lights also add similar amounts of weight, but are typically more reliable since they are one piece with the lights body. Generally, any quality light mount will hold a handheld light in place just as good as an incorporated mount until you bring a hammer into the conversation.Vertical grips make it easier to manipulate light buttons and add around 3oz. They are more of an ergonomics question than weight.Different tail caps can add fractions of an ounce to a light system, so don’t worry about the weight gain. Just get the right tailcap/tapeswitch for ergonomics and function.The Flashlight light is the Surefire M600 and M600A Scout Light at about 4 and 4.5oz respectively. Most all other 6 volt handheld lights fall in the 5-8oz range plus a ~1oz mount and anything else you add. Lights in this range will generally suit any of us and work on any gun for indoors or most outdoors use. You really shouldn’t need anything more than a standard 6 or 9 volt weapons light or weapons grade handheld with good mounts. If you REALLY need to blind tangos (or deer) from 150 yard or see whether an AK47’s receiver is milled or stamped at 100 yards, then you’ll need the heavy duty lights and just accept about a 10oz weight penalty. Right now, only Surefire offers the long range, 225+ lumen lights. The M96X, M97X, M98x series weigh around 12, 13, and 15oz respectively, but let you identify targets out to well over 100 yards. The M900 series weighs around 20oz, but that includes its built in vertical grip and all needed buttons and tape switches. Personally, I don’t see the need for anyone mounting the M97x, or M98x over the M900 series. After you add a vertical grip to the Millenniums, the weight will be nearly the same, but the M900s have all the controls built in at your finger tips. Not to mention how long the Millennium lights are. Of course the M900’s cost $450-$650, and that makes up most peoples minds for them. Others just don’t like a vertical grip and would mount M97/M98’s using only a tape switch.ERGONOMICS (VERTICAL GRIP VS TAPESWITCH) -----

Camouflage. Smaller, irregular units of scouts in the 18th century were the first to adopt colors in drab shades of brown and green. Major armies retained their color until convinced otherwise.
