Aimpoint vs EOTECH: Game Changers

An EOTECH or Aimpoint sight on your gun will increase your hit probability and speed. I've seen this many times in my own shooting. In my opinion, a zero-magnification sight fits a Philosophy of Use (POU) wherein the gun will be mostly engaging targets 200 meters or less (which will be your predominant ranges in most situations for LEOs and Civs). They increase the effectiveness of your rifle and both are excellent. In this Nutnfancy table top review (a companion video to my previous in-field observations), I attempt to cover the overall features of both sights in detail. The EOTECH offers an excellent 65 MOA/1 MOA (inner dot) aiming reticle that is fast in pickup and yet precise. Their HWS sights are also rugged, waterproof (generally only to 33 static however, some models differ), have excellent night vision mode actuation, a wider field of view, and feature a built-in throw lever mounts. Downsides include: usually a heavier weight, less battery life (1000 hrs vs 50000 hrs in these 553 and Comp ML3 models), switches that are harder to actuate with gloves, an inability to seal off the optics from mud, and often more bulk (depending on model). Newer EOTECH models promise to improve these shortcomings and GG&G offers flip-up lens covers. For example, the EOTECH Model 556 integrates a 5.56x45mm aiming reticle with useful holdover points; the Model XPS2 and 3 use are more compact, NV-capable sights weighing 8.8 oz and feature improved battery life.
