These sights are used on [[M7 Caseless Submachine Gun|M7]] and [[M7S Caseless Submachine Gun|M7S Caseless SMGs]] and [[M6C/SOCOM]].<ref>'''[[Halo 3: ODST]]'''</ref> | ||

Another variant of this would be infrared lasers, such as the ones used on the [[Spartan Laser]]. Contrary to popular belief, the laser pointer will not draw a red line in the air towards its target, unless there is sufficient atmospheric disturbance, such as dust or smoke, between the pointer and the target. | ||
