    I would have thought you'd have seen those at least in passing. We used them on the 81mm mortar and the C6 in the sustained fire roles. The Arty used them on the 105mm as well. They work just fine.

    We seldom fired the C6 or M2 dismounted from our M113A2 DAREOD, which is something we didn't get to do often enough, especially after Chilliwack closed. The last time we had the C6 out we had to go to Ft. Lewis.
