The Proper Sight-Weapon Mix
All the AN
/
PAQ-4 versions can
be used on the M16-series rifle,
the M4
/
M4A1 carbine, and the
M249 and M240B machine guns.
The AN
/
PAQ-4
series is
no longer
supported.
Use it until it
stops working,
then
replace
it with
a different sight.
The Army gives
Soldiers all sorts
of choices of sights,
lasers and infrared
illuminators to use on
their rifles, pistols
and machine guns.
sorry, I
can’t
work
with you!
I’m here to
help you do
your job!
I don’t think
we would be a
good fit.
it’s
not
me, it’s
you.
But it can be
difficult
to tell
what can be used
on what and where
you go to get info
on how to mount
and use a device.
To help end that
confusion, here’s
a list of sights,
their NSNs and
TMs, and what they
can
be used on…
hold that
stuff
down!
this road
is a little
bumpy!
yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got it covered!
what in
the world
happened?
we drove
real slow.
yeah! I was
holding the
stuff down in
the back!
soon…

echanics, everybody talks about “more bang for the buck.” But sometimes, taking parts
to the support shop for repair shouldn’t turn into more bucks for the bang!
Transporting unprotected parts to support for repair creates more damage because
they bang against each other. The bucks you’ll pay for the extra damage in transport can
go sky high. So the question is, can you afford more bucks for the bang? Probably not.
Whatever form of transportation you use, always wrap, box up or use the original
containers to avoid damage. Parts such as tail rotor blades, pitch control links and flight-
critical components should never be transported unprotected.
Never put components or parts in a truck or a gator unprotected. They will just
bounce around and crash into each other during transport. By the time you get
to support, your repair cost could go from minimum to maximum, depending on
the damage.
