First noticed these watching news footage of US soldiers in Iraq on a night patrol. One of the GIs suddenly switch on the torch fixed to his rifle barrel and I marvelled at both the brightness and tightness of the beam. I presumed it was some sort of military grade torch that civilians could only dream of owning.
Turns out the torch is a favourite in Iraq but that soldiers buy their own from a company called Surefire. Their torches are the best in the world.
I particularly love the A2 Aviator.
