In the new issue of G&A Tactical Gear the last article in the rag is about back up sights. Doug Larson who is running an Aimpoint M3 and BUIS is advocationg running a BURDS(my stupid acronym) yes a Back Up Red Dot Sight and has a T-1 in an offset mount along for the ride.
G&A magazine…welcome to the 21st century. Oh look no dinosaurs! 
Hey, it could happen… :rolleyes:
There you are in the middle of a fight and your irons malfunction, your primary dot malfs, but luckily for you, you had the wisdom to run a BURD. Now you look like a gen-u-wine genie-us and not some kind of mall ninja!
What happens if you BURDS goes down?
Good question.
Do you back up the BURD with a second BUIS(SBUIS) or another BURD(ABURD)?
Would that be a BUBUIS (back up back up iron sight) or BUBURDS (back up back up red dot sight)?
Well …since you have 3 forms of sites I am sure you have calibrated all 3 so you can triangulate them to get a Grid north azimuth (since your weapon is metal magnetic would be inaccurate) that will allow you to use your compass to shoot a backwards azimuth from your target to your position…to get you in the ballpark . :rolleyes:
or something like that
What the heck are these guy thinking…Maybe they want their weapon to look like a swiss army knife.
Doc
Just brilliant.
How did that revalation of having a BURDS ever elude me for so long ?..
If the irons fail and the BURDS goes down, one must consider BUMFOT, (Back Up Mag Full Of Tracers) to walk the rounds to the target…
Better yet, mount a bullet trap rifle grenade over the muzzle and FIRE !
Well. I can agree with the guy on part of his tard logic. The back up sight on a gun SHOULD be the electronic. The primary however, should be the irons. 
It’s a “Third Up Red Dot” or, TURD.
(c’mon, somebody had to go there)
Get a laser. Red, green or better yet both. And don’t forget the IR laser. Night vision for the solar eclipse. BUIS, BURD, BURP (Back Up Redundant Pupils). One can never be sure what one will face.
Wouldn’t this guy shit a brick if he knew I was making dynamic entries in Mosul in 2003 with an M4, carrying handle irons (no back up), and a SF M951…:eek:
At the time it seemed to work just fine for me…

Yes and unfortunately, you beat me to it! 
LOL
I think this whole thread should be forwarded to the SAE (Silly Ass Editor) of G&A.
LOL…I love it!!!
And always remember - if your BUMFOT runs out, you must then go to BIMDP, (Brick In My Dump Pouch)…
