This video provides a concise historical overview of weapon-mounted lights (WMLs), tracing their evolution from early, bulky adaptations like Maglites and dive lights to modern, purpose-built tactical illuminators. Expert insights highlight key developmental milestones driven by operational needs, such as the post-Alcatraz demand for compact pistol lights and the G-WOT era's push for integrated rail systems.
