This video from Forgotten Weapons details how the Aimpoint 3000 optic gained significant traction within US special forces, particularly Delta Force, starting in 1991. The adoption was highlighted when General Norman Schwarzkopf was seen with Delta Force operators utilizing Aimpoint 3000s on their CAR-15s, serving as a powerful endorsement of the product's battlefield viability and high-tech appeal.
This short showcases a replica of the Gordon Carbine, famously used in Black Hawk Down. Key features include a rare Aimpoint 5000 XD optic and an authentic C7 upper receiver. The build is completed with an Allen Engineering AEM M4 suppressor, and the rifle is demonstrated firing live rounds at steel targets.
