Summary of Aimpoint vs EOTech:
1. Both are super reliable and provide immeasurable advantage over iron sights with “both eyes open” aiming.
2. Aimpoint has EOTech beat on battery life- your weapon is always ready.
3. EOTech has a less-obstructed viewing window- the Aimpoint has the battery compartment and adjustment switches cut into your sight picture.
4. Look through an EOTech targeting window is like looking at an FPS video game hud, whereas looking through an Aimpoint is like looking down a tube. Advantage= EOTech
5. The EOTech‘s large window and elaborate reticle may help you find the dot faster than an Aimpoint. The elaborate reticle may annoy you. You might prefer the simplicity of a single dot. There’s almost no way to know which you prefer unless you try it out in person. (You also might have astigmatism, which makes the EOTech reticle all-but completely useless for you.)
6. Aimpoint PRO with the OEM mount and the EOTechs weight about the same. The Aimpoint Micro is a game changer when it comes to size and weight efficiency.
7. Aimpoint has many reliable, high quality alternatives under $200. EOTech‘s holographic technology is exclusive to EOTech sights.

Aimpoints are more rugged but Eotechs are better.
I just got a aimpoint pro I put it on my rifle and checked it with the iron sights it was right on no need to 0
what is the red thing on your trigger?
if the eo tech battery could last as long as the aimpoint it would rule the industry.
Why do you co-witness? Just curious, and please don't take this as negative criticism, but to me, it seems useless to spend a lot of money on an optic if all your gonna do is line that red dot on the front sight post. In that case, you're better off saving money buy using your iron sights.
If your rifle looked that shinny and pretty in Afghanistan ,you will get smoked and your rifle will aquire shit ton of dust making it pretty much worthless. And therefor endagering ,fellow soldiers ,. HEY NICE INFORMATIVE VIDEO THO.đŸ˜€ I
3 clicks guy
What was your weapon's name???
Nobody talks about this but I will. I have an EOTech and a couple of other single-dot RD sights. No, it's not Aimpoint but the point is still valid. EOTech reticle is far quicker to pick up than a single dot. If you got a dark background and/or have brightness turned up to medium or higher, it's not so much a problem but during the day or against light background, picking up single dot takes materially longer. EOTech's 68 MOA outer ring makes it far more easier and faster to pick up. And there are other quick reference advantages: 1). The ring is the height of an average person (5ft 8in) at 100 yds. 2). For typical 50 or 100yd zeroes, put the bottom of the ring on target at 20yds or less for dead-on hits. You have to guess with single dot RDS. Maybe hittng 2.5in low at close ranges is an acceptable margin of error. Or maybe it isn't. EOTech reticle is superior to any single-dot reticle.
Holo
God you sound gay as fuck
focus your camera it makes me sick
I have a question if someone could please help me out. With the PRO is there another riser that you can get to have a lower 1/3 co-witness with my fixed A2 front sight?
In 2015, the U.S. Government sued EOTech for civil fraud, accusing it of covering up defects in the sights that it knew about as early as 2006. The first defect was "thermal drift", which causes the aiming point to shift in high or low temperatures by as much as 12" at 300 yards. The second was "moisture incursion" or "reticle fade", which causes the viewing glass to fog up and the aiming point to lose brightness.[5] EOTech settled for $25.6 million, and fixed the "moisture incursion" defect. However, as of April 2016 it reported that it could not cure the thermal drift defect. Thousands of EOTech sights are used by federal law enforcement and military, including special forces.[6]
My Chinese friend told me where to buy some cheap sights, and they are awesome: http://www.eastriflescope.com
I love my eotech 558.a65 with AA batteries.The other problem is everyone is buying cloned eotech thinking they are the real deal. When they break they send them to eotech only to find out they are fakes. Just saw a clone with a 500.00 bid on it.
Where are those robot voices when you need them?
Why are some red dot sights circular and some square like???
I've had an EOTech holo sight for a while now, and while I really love it, the always-on battery life of these Aimpoints are really calling out for me to try.
What's the red thing on your trigger? Is that a flat trigger on it also?
First time when i installed the Aimpoint optic, i heard a click, i hope that's from my bone, not from my brand new optic
Not going stick a sight on my rifle that cost as much as the rifle….
Very informative video. Also, ignore the guys who run their weapons dry… you are spot on… metal on metal isn't good. Run them WET. Oil and or grease well, wipe off the excess. Tractors, chainsaws or weapons… keep them well lubed!
I have an astigmatism and I can use the eotech ret but not the red dot.
Very instructive video. Thanks for the detailed information on both sights, definitely helped me make a decision on which one I'll get.
I remember my M68 always working down range. Great product.
Gun will last 350 years with that much oil haha
Dude, you've been watching wayyy too many YouTube vids with robotic narration.
It’s good to note since this video was made, L3 was sued over misrepresentation of EoTech temperature, battery life, and submersion ratings. Many departments are dumping EoTechs as well.
using your gun as an oil pan catcher when you change your oil on your car?
Wait, I searched Airsoft sights. Can this work on Airsoft?
I like EOTech as well as Aimpoint. I have and use the EOTech 518, the Aimpoint CompM4 as well as the Trijicon ACOG. This is also my order of preference. For close quarters or shots within 100 yards (for me) I like the 518 best of the three. However, I would take any of the three into a firefight in a heartbeat.
I oil my ar 15 after eating pepperoni pizza the grease from the pizza works fine as a anti corrosion coating lmao
Did he get the Astigmatism correct? I was under the impression that EOtechs were better with for Astigmatism
Are you a girl????
you made a great video and I hope that you research what I'm about to tell you the Parallax on the AimPoint at a hundred yards if you go to the either left or to the right as far as you can without losing sight of your. You'll see that your shots will be 12 in off and with the EOTech it's about an inch and a half to 2 inches off Target I'm not saying that everybody shoots in awkward positions but I did put both of these sites to the test I hope to try out other sites as well but I was concerned that I was off Target by 12 in so I see that there is a parallax difference this doesn't make or break the site but if you are shooting from a covered corn and rely on The Parallax then you're going to be off Target with the AimPoint
Do you know if glasses that correct for astigmatism would fix that blurriness?
