• Comment: I was going to oppose, as it is just another image in a column of images which show the gun being used (a gallery in every way apart from technically) but then I saw its prominent usage on Advanced Combat Optical Gunsight. I'd say it has significantly higher EV in the latter article. J Milburn (talk) 16:31, 1 December 2010 (UTC)
