Iron sight

Line 8:

Since the eye is only capable of focusing on one plane, and the rear sight, front sight, and target are all in separate planes, only one of those three planes can be in focus at one time. Which plane is in focus depends on the type of sight, and one of the challenges to a shooter is to keep the focus on the correct plane to allow for best sight alignment. A tiny error in sight alignment can be multiplied hundreds or thousands of times by the time the projectile reaches the target.

~~==Trivia==~~

*Interestingly enough, as the standard service rifle for the UNSC Defense Forces, the [[MA5 series]] (except for the [[MA5K]]) of firearms do not sport any form of visible iron sights. These are likely concealed along the top of the weapon, or the sights are actually a part of the electronics suite.

*Some Covenant weapons, namely the Brute ones, have iron sights.
