In response, in 1915 the British Army organized its own sniper program. However, the British optics industry could not keep up with demand for proper riflescopes, so as a stopgap measure the Army adopted a variety of tubeless "optical" or "Galilean" sights that could be quickly and cheaply manufactured and fitted on rifles. Five different models were adopted or approved for private purchase: the Martin, the Lattey, the Ulster, the BSA, and the Gibbs. However, the sights saw little combat use and were replaced by proper telescopic sights by 1917.
