| just wondering what everybody prefers on their weapons |
|
Laser, I have EOTechs on two rifles and hey are indeed fine rifle sights but still require sight picture where the Laser does not. My preferred set up is a high powered optic with a laser for close in aiming, the Laser is easier to use from a vehicle or while moving and any novice can put the dot on the target and score a hit. The EOTech is better for longer range than the laser but if I am that far away I can take the time to use optics. |

EOTech. The only thing I don't like about it is that some seem to set kind of high. I don't like the Aimpoint as much because it's still looking through a tube. Even if you push it further out, towards the muzzle. Both are vast improvements in accurate speed at close range. Nothing anyfaster at room sized distances with the same level of accuracy. Still useable to 300 hundred meters, and the magnifiers for either are a great addition. |
BUT..... Lasers, like tracers work both ways |
No, Lasers do not work both ways ! |
In a vacuum they don't work both ways, point one at me and if I am looking toward you.......................... |

My first was an Aimpoint. Have had it a few years now and I'm still using the battery it came with. Bought an Eotech a few weeks ago and it's just as capable IMHO. Buy either one and you'll be OK, however you may need a riser with the Eotech to get 1/3 co-witness, unless your buying the newer model Eotech. Aimpoint needs a QRP mount with spacer or aftermarket mount to get 1/3 co-witness. With either sight check what you'll need first for mounting options but Eotech may be a little cheaper. |

Even the smallest amount of dust will make your laser it look like star wars. But I can see it working well in some cases. Im curious as to what distance you transition from your laser to your passive optic? |
| After my training.. I've determine that my Eotech works great for me.. Fricken zombie had a huge hole in it's chest and a nice couple of holes in his head. CQC I think I would have had a hard time with the ACOG. They look so much clearer when reaching out and touching someone.. which is understandable since there's less glass the light has to go through before it reaches the eye (talking about using a Eotech with a magnifier). |
Even the smallest amount of dust will make your laser it look like star wars. But I can see it working well in some cases. Sure does. We shoot a night match for practical rifle every Dec. down at the Tri County gun club. The min. it gets smokey or foggy , Lasers start looking like light sabers. Guy's who bing weapon mounted Nvd's do the best. second best,are the guy's with white light. |
