the sar 21 is also the first production assault rifle of its class to incorporate a built-in laser aiming device (lad) (powered by a single "aa-size" battery) as standard. it has a 5 position switch which can emit a visible beam at high or low power. it can also be set to "steady on" or "momentary on" which is triggered with the use of a pressure switch activated with the user's left thumb. the rifle incorporates various patented safety features, such as a kevlar cheek plate and overpressure vent that protects the shooter in the event of a chamber explosion or catastrophic failure. it also has an integral 1.5x optical scope that is built into its carrying handle (a 3.0x version is also available). the scope aids in target acquisition, particularly under low light conditions. the scope is factory-zeroed, and requires minimal further zeroing to suit different users. this minimizes non-training range time.
