hannibaldaplaya 1095 Posted April 19, 2014 It's alright doesn't really do to much. Would be nice if it was directly useful.Its an iron sight. Do you expect to MAGICALLY make the gun more accurate like the Magpul parts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
savini 587 Posted April 19, 2014 Those have been around for awhile. I've had one for...at least a month or so. Unless...is there something different about them? Personally, I like them much better than the standard sight. I prefer being able to see more of the target area. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

teapot156 79 Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Its an iron sight. Do you expect to MAGICALLY make the gun more accurate like the Magpul parts?Uuhh yeah, have you ever shot a gun before? Without a rear sight you couldn't align the barrel with the target. As it stands, it doesn't make a difference if you have a rear sight or not, so why use BIUS at all?

What I meant is to you expect it to magically stop the bullets from curving the way they do? The BUIS and the Carryhandle Optics both don't affect how the bullet flies, they just make it easier for the person using the rifle to aim accurately. Its a purely cosmetic decision between picking one or the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zedertone 378 Posted April 19, 2014 Those aren't new :P But I don't like them, I prefer to just take the carry handle off and have an open cross hair. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hannibaldaplaya 1095 Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) what you are asking for is that without a rear sight the game does not align the sights correctly not for random dispersion right ? I hope so. I thought he was saying it is useless as most M4A1's come with the carryhandle optics, but now I see what he is saying, and I hope he doesn't mean sights should start affecting the bullshit dispersion.

Its a purely cosmetic decision between picking one or the other.Hence the entire point of my first post in this thread. It seems like you are confused. Let me rephrase:The BIUS has no functional purpose. Although the intention of the item is to give you clearer peripheral vision, it is pointless because the weapon functions perfectly fine without a rear sight. Once again, the rear ghost ring has no function. You can aim with only the front sight. With all that said, yes it is cool looking I like it. Would like it if it mattered if I put it on a weapon.

Ah, yes, I misread your post. A rear sight should be essential to aiming precisely, and the weapon should be a lot more difficult to handle. How do you deal with this without random dispersion is beyond me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Irish. 4886 Posted April 19, 2014 :3 These BUIS sights have been in since the beginning, buddy. xD^ this.. they just always spawned half in the ground and thus were very hard to see. Ive tried them before and find the open front sight with no carry handle is best until you find a scope of any kind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gibonez 3633 Posted April 19, 2014 I wish there was a system where instead of random dispersion happening the players would misaligned the sights if he was in a tired state out of breath or if he had no rear sight. This could atleast be countered with skill and experience unlike RNG dispersion currently in game. This would also put importance on rear sights in weapons due to them being critical for aligning the weapons . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bororm 1156 Posted April 19, 2014 I think at the very least, without a rear sight you shouldn't be able to zero your weapon. Also, I think that sight is ugly =P And I think people who take off the rear sights on the m4 and only use the front sight should go to hell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anothercynicalbrit 166 Posted April 20, 2014 What do you guys think of the new BACK UP IRON SIGHTS for the M4A1? I personally like them, though an ACOG or a Red Dot is obviously superior.I prefer this over any of the sights except the acog, i love this sight and find it the most superior sight in cqc but each to his own (obviously 4x for long range engagements) A cynic.

Grimey Rick 3417 Posted April 20, 2014 The M68 and RV1 red dots are garbage in my opinion. If I can't find a BUIS I don't use anything. For me: BUIS > no attachment > red dots. Obviously the ACOG is a necessity for mid-range shots. I keep one in my bag at all times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
