Has anyone had any experience with the Burris Fast Fire mounted on an AR15?
It also states that it is "water resistant", which I assume means if you are caught out in the rain you are SOL.  ???

I've got one in a LaRue IronDot mount. It's a good near range daylight sight.

There's no intensity control, as that is automatic. It does a decent job, but it's not ideal. The sight will function with very little light, but in a darkened room at night it's not going to be much use. If clouds are moving overhead, the dot flickers.

It does seem to be fairly accurate on the 50 and 100 yard ranges. Mine has not needed a battery change; I understand that requires removing it from the mount and thus losing zero. It also requires an itty bitty screwdriver to adjust elevation and windage, and the built in flip up rear BUIS requires a Phillips head to adjust.

Overall it's an OK sight, with its main selling point being its light weight.

Here's a cowitness shot:
