I remember a lot of promotional material showing BRs and DMRs without optics.
Projection BRs:

343 is definitely open to having completely useless/cosmetic loadout variants like the Projection SMG, as well as adding them, like with the Classic BR sight, so it seems probable that we could see a Projection BR and DMR sometime. And I guess they wouldn’t be wholly useless, since they would give a zoom of less than 2x, which has its niche (if a very small niche).
Always noticed these. Thought it was faulty animation but in the art too? Projection wouldn’t be that bad. Don’t know what would make them better than recon scope but 343 could make it work.
The thing about these is that they would limit your effective range to the range you wouldn’t want to use the weapon at. Cool in concept, redundant in practice.
If so then I hope they refine the loadout system, sifting through 30+ of the same weapon will be irritating. Hopefully they can make some kind of favourite system or something

Well if you’re not planning on/expecting longer-ranged combat and the 2x Recon sight ends up being slightly too much, then they would have a use. A very niche use, but a use. It would also be more for aesthetic choice than anything. There’s also nothing saying the projection sights can’t also be 2x magnification.
