The lads used to carry these when on patrol in Northern Ireland in the 80s and 90s.

Some mad lad bolted one of these to the hand guard of an L85 and called it a weapon light.

This was, of course, really to add mass to the rifle for when it was used as a bludgeon, because it is so British that it spontaneously ejected its own magazines as a form of silent protest against violence.
