[ILLusion]

I wouldn't want a flashlight module that is completely tied with my weapon. I'm fine with my Streamlight M6. It's an integrated 80lumen light module with built in laser aiming device. Both can be powered on independently or together. The best part about it is its ability to be quickly and easily be detached / attached to different weapons. You can't do that with a a device that is tied to your weapon's battery source. I don't see the advantage of having these devices powered by your AEGs main battery.

And on that note, there are already battery packs (built like LAM's) that house your AEGs main battery AND have built in lasers that power off the same battery. This isn't a new concept. Look up the company ICS.
