British optics
The L9A1 SUSAT was available from the outset for the SA80 series. It was fitted to all infantry rifles and all LSWs (IRL it was also fitted to the LMG and M2). Iron sighted versions of the SA80 were issued to support troops. Units with the older SLRs were issued with a very simiar sight called L2A2 SUIT (Sight Unit Infantry Trilux) although this was less common (at most 1-2 per section - really as a dedicated marksman item before the term was used). Suit could also be fitted to the GPMG. Both very poor in jungle conditions and many units here switched to using iron sight. IRL SA80s have generally been upgraded to newer sights.
