Sodapop,
Roger, but the Somalia incident was a long time ago, over 9 years in the past. While the M4 has been around since 86, it wasn't in use across the board until 96.
What weapons did you see handle mounted optics on? What kind of optics?
If it was the Big Army, then they were M16A2's, which have a non removable handle. Still, there is a gooseneck mount that permits the optic to be mounted in front of the carry handle.
You may have seen an unauthorized set up, or a field expedient one.
