Funny. I bet at the time, those were the best of the best. They look like some D cell lights. I am gonna guess 30 lumens or so.

Looks like Margaret Thatcher with a trio of MP5 holders. Circa 1968? That is a dinosaur light. I bet heavy too!

She was PM in the 80's. Those look like Gen-1 Streamliight SL-20s. Hard to be sure from the lack of pic quality.
She'd probably like the changes

Agreed. The fact that those guys believe it to be worthwhile to have those huge, unwieldy things on their otherwise compact sub machine guns really says something about the value of a weapon mounted light.
