The US Army has selected the XM-157 to work along side many new weapon systems including the X-M5 NGSW. This new optic from Vortex has a feature that ranges and calculates your exact hold to achieve first round impacts. The hold is displayed within the optic. The technology is incredible and we’re excited to bring you this review.

  1. What happens when it breaks and the soldiers who have no idea how to use anything else*because obviously in society we have become numb to doing analog things* defintely can see alot of pros about this sight. And it's amazing technology. But defintely alot of cons to it.

  2. Vortex: Battery life should be multiple weeks under normal operating conditions….
    Joe: I bet I could beat that… Laze, laze, laze!
    (2 hours later)
    Joe: Saaaarge…. I need new batteries…
    Supply: WTF, over?!?
    Joe: idk, something must be wrong with it 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

  3. Great tech. The problem with this kind of stuff is always the same. The bot aims for you and that's great but the day the bot stops working (for whatever reason), you don't know how to aim on your own.

  4. Doesn't anyone think an optic limited to a max of 8 power is a little weak for a rifle that easily pulverizes things out past 1200 meters? I mean my atn 2.5×25 blows this thing out of the water with a 45° red dot setup. And my atn doesn't have wires that have to be plugged into it. It does everything this optic does and more.

  5. Ooopsy woopsy we Forgor we aren't playing cops and robbers in GWOT no Mo and things like logistical supply wines will be wife or Deff in a large scale conflict and overly complicated bullshit with higher upkeep costs is fukin dummmmmmmm

  6. US Industry is at its END Times ! Huge amounts of financial, and they put a simple and wierdly wired "CALCULATOR" on Optics and call this a BREAK THROUGH ! They way you GO ! Guys ! THE WAY YOU GO !!! LOL !!!!!! Selebrate it like its the best of the best of the best !!!!!!

  7. what are the concerns with night vision equipped enemies? you can't just be laser ranging finding willy nilly when enemies have NV right?

    and this target saving, target sharing and thermal fusion shit is insane. wtf….
