SUIT (sight) (original) (raw)

The SUIT sight is a 4× telescopic sight with tritium-powered illumination, utilised at dusk or dawn. The full name is the L2A2 Sight Unit Infantry Trilux. The sight is not designed as a sniper sight, but as a standard issue infantry sight to improve the infantryman's night fighting capability and to assist target identification at long range in daylight and in poor light conditions. The sight was mounted on the L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle or GPMG. It was first produced in 1976 by Avimo Ltd. in London, England.
