The Talon has also seen combat use in Afghanistan. Horus Vision long-range scopes are widely used by Army Special Forces and have proven themselves in combat in Afghanistan and Iraq. Our test optic was Horus Vision’s 1-4x “Talon” close quarters battle (CQB) to mid-range scopes. For those with vision issues, optics are a virtual necessity. Sight alignment is automatic and the speed of target acquisition is dramatically increased. With optics, all that is necessary is to superimpose the properly zeroed reticle over the target and squeeze the trigger. Moreover, there are two components of aiming with open sights: sight alignment and sight picture. With open sights, the shooter’s eye must focus on three elements: the rear sight, the front sight and the target, which can be partially overcome with intensive training, but most police officers do not train to such levels.

The lower receiver is milled from a solid billet of 6061-T6 aluminum, hard coat anodized to military specification and Teflon coated. 308 carbine has the same lower receiver as their other. 308 is a superior anti-personnel and anti-materiel weapon to either the. The US military has run into lethality issues with its M-4 carbines in Afghanistan and Iraq because short-barreled carbines do not develop sufficient velocity to cause the bullets to upset when enemy combatants are shot, resulting in the development of the 6.8x43mm Special Purpose Cartridge (SPC) round.
