We used to have a fellow in our unit who went hog-wild with all sorts
of private purchase gear. He had a laser rangefinder that was about
the size of a maglite which he used when on landnav courses to lase
terrain features. He was also crazy as the day is long, but who's
counting? Modern hunters can buy this sort of stuff today, why
wouldn't it be built into military sights 200 years in the future? You
can also buy them built into binoculars.
