Features:

• HUD-linked camera: The CSG has a nose-mounted camera sensor, which displays targeting information to the user's HUD.
  
• Flip-up Red Dot Sight: There is a backup Red Dot sight on the top of the rifle. It remains inactive until the sighting windows is flipped up into the deployed position
