Got a handguard with rail mounts finally coming in and as planned, a light will go in 1 spot so I did a bit of searching then I noticed something that is causing me to ask "Why the fuck do they use CR123A batteries?" even from many local sources. I got a few leads on AA/AAA battery operated lights but when looking at airsoft specific websites, they're all either build in rechargeable or CR123A dependent. Why is this? Aren't CR123A batteries more expensive and harder to find then, what is to me the standard, AA/AAA?

While on the subject, what flashlight does everyone here have mounted on their AEGs?
