4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Anyone used either? Im leaning more towards the EOTech right now probably either the 512 or the XPS2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chevysoldier Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 We used the Aimpoint style on our M16s in Iraq. They worked pretty well, even in bright sunlight. Although they used to come on by accident all the time because we would sling them on our backs and the knob would get turned on by accident. Seemed like the batteries lasted a good long while though. lol Never used the eotechs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Did you have to one eye closed the aimpoints? or could you shoot both eyes open like the EOTechs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevysoldier Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 Both eyes, although I don't know if that's the way we were taught because I have always shot with both eyes open. I am right handed but left eye dominate so using both eyes helps that. Never had an issues using both eyes to shoot with the aim point. They would all take a beating and I never saw one break that I can recall. The end of ours had a honeycomb insert so at to help keep light from hitting it and giving away our position. I don't know if the civilian version has those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alab32 Posted October 13, 2010 Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 In my opinion, it depends on what you are planning on doing. If you want to do a lot of target and both far and close shooting, I would say the AimPoint. The EOTech is more for close quarters combat. Again, this is all my opinion and someone may think I am stupid for this. Both are designed for both eyes being open also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted October 13, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2010 I just plan on target shooting until the zombies get here. most 100yds or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 I love my Aimpoint Comp ML3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 have you shot an eotech too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The King Posted October 14, 2010 Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 Yes, I am just not thrilled with the Eotech reticle..I prefer the dot to the circle....though I have not used the Eotech dot... Plus, the battery life of the Aimpoint is ridiculous...from what i understand, many people just leave them on all the time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted October 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2010 So it looks like ill be price checking Aimpoints then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owndjoo Posted October 20, 2010 Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 aimpoint m4s. it's what we are using on all our m4's. the newer s model is a little bit of an upgrade over the older one. it is much more durable and has better batter life. They are pretty darn good imo, especially for 300yds or less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4DAIVI PAI2K5 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2010 Ill check the m4s out. I am pretty set on a Comp ML3 right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
