On the cover of "The Economist"

HighLight · Dec 2, 2005

On the cover of a very recent edition of "The Economist" magazine (nov 26 issue I believe) there is a photo of an American soldier bunkered down in Iraq and he is holding a M16 rifle with a flashlight attached under the barrel. Do anyone know what light this is? I assume its the standard military light thats issued for attachment to the M16 but I don't know the name.

Great international news mag, BTW. Worth every penny...

Maybe an m3 from Surefire.

It appears to me to be a SureFire M951 (XMxx or UMxx) Weaponlight..
