Cool! I wonder if they came up with the Picatinny Rail?
RAF Molesworth, UK
52°22′46″N 000°24′18″W
according to WIKI,,,
The rail itself dates from work by the A.R.M.S. company in the early 1980s and Otto Repa in standardizing the Weaver design.[citation needed] Specifications for the M16A2E4 rifle and the M4E1 carbine received type classification generic in December 1994.[citation needed] These were the M16A2[3] and the M4[4] modified with new upper receivers where rails replaced hand guards.[verification needed]
The rail is named after the Picatinny Arsenal in New Jersey, which was tasked in 1992 to develop a standardized mounting system after the U.S. Army was dissatisfied with the contemporary products on the market.
