Talk:peep sight

Can the def be clarified?
It starts by saying this is a type of sight but then refers to a "rear sight". So is the rear sight itself the peep sight, or is the peep sight contained within the rear sight? Chambers 1908 has this definition: "a plate on the breach with a small hole through which a gunner takes his sight". Equinox ◑ 00:50, 9 April 2019 (UTC)
