Our C7's and C8's (the Canadian versions of the M16 and M4) had originally just iron sights then were upgraded with an optical sight. I my own experience, as long as the weapon remains zeroed it provides much more accurate firepower. With our C1 and early C7 I varied on the range from 60% to 90% scores in combat shooting. Once I had the Optical Sight, I shot in the 90's all the time. Many at the time noticed a similar outcome. Of course some just can't shoot no how!
