Fiber Optic Sights?
Can somebody explain to me exactly what fiber optic sights are? I know what fiber optics are, and I know they are colored things in the sights. But what is so special about them being fiber optic? Do they light up or something?

Some Fiber Sights, like TFO's, have a radioactive gas in a tube BEHIND them, so the radioactive gas naturally glows in the dark, made brighter by the fiber optics, which is made EVEN brighter by other light sources.
