Military 'Expert' rifle qualifications are often a baseline proficiency test, not a measure of true small arms expertise. Factors like target size, scaled ranges (e.g., 25m Alt-C), and stable shooting positions can inflate scores. Historical sight evolution, like the M16A1 to M16A2 transition, was influenced by qualification requirements.
