Interesting build from the era where AR rifles were going through a time of rapid iterative improvements. The tube fore end was still cutting edge stuff at the time. Interestingly, no contemplation of any kind of monolithic rail. There is still a fixed front sight block, which is not just a left over feature, but an intentionally kept one. The front sight is advertised as having tritium illumination. The fixed Sully stock which keeps the bottom facing slingloop is another sign of the times this was designed in. I think pretty much any high end AR outside of a DMR role (and even then) these days is coming with a collapsible stock. This one comes with a fancy upgraded fixed stock.

The original 1911 was renowned for its reliability, accuracy, and stopping power, making it a preferred sidearm for military and law enforcement personnel. The 2011, an evolution of this iconic platform, was developed to meet the needs of competitive shooters and law enforcement agencies seeking greater capacity and enhanced performance. The Staccato brand, known for its commitment to precision engineering and quality, has become synonymous with high-end pistols that push the boundaries of the traditional 1911 design. >The Staccato 2011 stands out for its unique combination of features that set it apart from its predecessors. One of the most notable specifications is its double-stack magazine, which allows for a significantly higher round capacity compared to the single-stack 1911. The 2011 also features a polymer grip module combined with a steel frame, creating a lightweight yet durable firearm. Additionally, the Staccato 2011 is equipped with a match-grade barrel, a crisp trigger pull, and a modular design that allows for easy customization. These specifications make it a versatile weapon, suitable for a range of applications, from competition shooting to personal defense. >In contemporary use, the Staccato 2011 has gained widespread popularity among competitive shooters, law enforcement agencies, and firearm enthusiasts. Its blend of traditional 1911 ergonomics with modern enhancements has made it a favorite for those who demand precision and reliability. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the increased magazine capacity and improved accuracy, while competitive shooters are drawn to its performance and customization options. The Staccato 2011 is often praised for its smooth shooting experience, with many users noting its ability to maintain accuracy even during rapid-fire situations. Overall, the Staccato 2011 continues to build on the legacy of the 1911, offering a cutting-edge solution for modern shooters.
Rest in peace Paul.

I came across this photo which I thought was pretty interesting. The 82nd Airborne soldier is holding an M16A2, which at the time would have been quite new, having only been adopted by the Army three years prior. On top is an Armson OEG, I believe an original production model based on the flat faced sides on the front and rear, compared to the round shape of the Generation II models. The occluded eye gunsights work on an occluded principle that requires both eyes to be open to be used. The view down the sight is pictured below.  A black backdrop with a red dot, illuminated by a combination of tritium and fiber optic. The eye not looking through the sight views the target, and the user's brain combines both inputs into a single image which overlays the dot on to the target. This is meant for fast, close range shooting, as at distance the inherent inaccuracy becomes increasingly apparent. Using this type of sight takes practice to be able to do effectively, and even once practiced the sights become tiring on the eyes after extended periods. The other unusual item in the picture is the 20 round straight magazine, as the 30 round magazines had been long adopted and in circulation by 1989 and the 82nd Airborne should have had ready access to them. The magazine may have been a personal preference.
[Source.](https://www.dvidshub.net/image/8560777/fmf-cruise-week) I thought this picture was kind of an interesting setup. The M27s have been issued with accompanying VCOGs, so the ACOG stood out a bit. This looks like one of the 3.5x TA11MGOs that was bought for the M249s. Which I suppose makes sense, if the unit supplying the M27 has shelved their M249s, they probably donated the optic to the rifle. Although I do wonder what happened to the original VCOG. If this was a replacement of necessity, or if someone who was able to make it happen prefered the ACOG & RMR bundle over the LPVO VCOG.
