Second hand and in good working order.

The Common Weapon Sight (CWS) is the British military designation for the KITE sight, an image-intensification night vision scope formerly manufactured by Pilkington.

The CWS is designed for short to medium range use and can be mounted on various weapons such as the SA80A2/A3 rifle and light machine gun (LMG).

The CWS / KITE features a 4x magnification and 9 degree field of view. It can identify a standing man target out to 500m under starlight, although its effective engagement range is closer to 200 meters. While normally mounted on a weapon, the CWS can also be used as a hand-held surveillance tool.

British military units use a number of image intensification night vision sights mounted on weapon systems for both target engagement and surveillance. These devices work by amplifying ambient light to allow for vision in low light conditions. Because of their need for ambient light to function, these devices are not effective in complete darkness.
