M14 iron sights while scope fitted?

Recommended Posts

The M14 rifle has a scope mount that would allow the user to use backup iron sights at close range, why can you not switch to this in-game? And how hard would this be to mod?

Thanks. This would be very useful at close range.

You can't switch to it as when you apply an optic, you can only use the optic positioning within that optic. Some have back-up iron-sights and some don't. These positions (one for where the 'camera' goes to mimic looking through the main lens, and one for where the BUIS are) are immovable. Sadly the game cannot distinguish between what weapon the optic is applied to, so having different memory points for different weapons isn't possible. Likewise, if you made it so the BUIS memory point was in the correct position for the MK14, that scope would be un-usable on any other weapon as you'd more than likely be looking through the back end of the receiver.

As to the second question, it wouldn't be hard to make a new scope that could be used in such a fashion, but as the scope would only be effectively useful on the MK14, what would be the point? You'd be better off just using one of the scopes with a backup red-dot on the top...
