I looked it up for you:
Accuracy

US Army 82nd Airborne Division using IR laser sights seen through a night vision device on a training exercise in Iraq
The use of laser sights is associated with increased accuracy in general, increasing the probability of hitting the target especially in low light conditions.[10][11] The projected dot speeds up target acquisition, decreasing the time required for the shooter to aim and fire, as well as decreasing the time necessary for follow-up shots. Laser sights also aid in point shooting, where the shooter relies on hand eye coordination rather than aiming with a traditional sight.[12] This is of particular use when the user does not have time or is unable to obtain a proper sight picture before firing; for example, the use of ballistic shields or gas masks may obstruct access to the sights. Lasers also increase accuracy when shooting from an unconventional stance.
I have a scope and a laser on mine. Scope for hunt, laser for intruders.
