Unity 2.26, Practical or Tacticool?

In RE to some of the shooting positions.
I assure you, they're quite safe. I'm shooting from a elevated position down into a "cup" like area.

The visual of the cars in the backdrop is mostly a by product of a wide FoV camera and a high angle.

That being said, I still take fault here.

Is it safe: I think so

Could it be a lot safer: yes.

I'll do better.

I personally love my 2.26 setup on my 12.5. Being 6’4 it gets uncomfortable having to dip my head down just to get behind the optic. The riser just 😊makes my life just a little easier.

No stock/brace single point slung PCC for CQB. Seems like an OK mount choice, yeah?

I'll take one for the team on this ( leans in close ) whispers "hail hydra"

I recently built a Desert Tech MDRX and utilized the Unity mount for the Eotech and flip ro center, and it helps with my cross eye dominance. If it were not for that handicap I would probably use standard mounts.

2.26 is for CQB work people!

5:40 lol, trucks 🛻 casually driving by from direction you’re shooting at

Lower 1/3 is plenty comfortable for me. 1.93 is excellent as well for more upright shooting.

Brandon Herrera said that his angry inch has given women the best 15 seconds of their lives so there!

The gun community has a big problem with stuff like this. Very off-putting to be honest… As for the whole is it practical or not, comes down to everything else, what the goal?

So would you not say that the weight imbalance of having a g33 magnifier flipped to the side on a standard mount? Same with the snag hazard aspect? I am about to get a g33 for my exps3-2 and would love your input. NV is in my future but not yet.

The average joe wont need the unity mount and will be totally fine with a regular "low" mount or without any riser at all, if you do lots of cqb, shooting and especially shooting during night you will enjoy the benefits of the unity risers, especially the magnifier mount with its flip to center operating system is great

Application specific for me. 200 yards and it, I like it. I've also got a jacked up neck, and the more heads up posture helps.

I’m actually curious if a sloped rail like for long range on items like this would create more issues or actually fix a lot of HOB issues.

The reason for this is actually based on medical data from a lot of gun fights and injuries.. lower joints force you to bend and roll forward vs standing up straighter.. this has resulted in a lot of high thorax wounds over the top of the plates..

His name was: Pythagoras. Pythagorean theorem is from Pythagoras. If you can screw that up… the skyy (sic) is the limit. On another note: I thought we put magnifiers on Western rifles because we love having another item for the yard-sale when it falls off during CQB. No other nation air-nails so much shit on a rifle as us- because we assume we have an ammunition ship and armorer around the next bend to replace et al.

Screw the tactical optic riser. What poncho was that?

The flip to center is rather appealing in a profile sense, but I don't know if it's worth putting on my EOTech equipped rifle when I could QD the magnifier off if really not wanting it there

whats up with these god awful paintjobs

I get the downsides you mentioned. But for reals, the neck relief from a Unity riser is such a plus for me. Absolute cowitness sights murder my neck. I’m a small guy but the way I hold my rifle I can still get a cheek weld with the riser and it feels stable. Also it makes me look cool, which is +20 horsepower

6:17 just shooting towards a road with 556 ammo. Lol what?!

Recently I have been using an old upper that has the integrated carry handle. I have a rail mounted on the top of the handle and an aimpoint mounted on top of that. Its a super high mount but what I notice is that its a lot easier and more comfortable to shoot and allows for some interesting stuff like being able to shoot out of the right eye or left eye by canting the rifle. Likely never an important feature but if one of your eyes was damaged you could still operate the weapon out of an opposite eye without needing to change your grip. It has made me a lot more interested in these riser mounts. I feel a lot more cramped when I go back to a rifle with an eotech on it.

It's horribly overpriced. Suckers should not be shelling so much money for this thing.

1.93” is where it’s at

Fantastic discussion points…

Honestly… I got into a riser due to being 6ft 6in tall & I use Nods… those are the only 2 reasons I'd ever recommend them to anybody.

I’ve got the Unity fast Mount and after watching this video – mine is either backwards & way too far forward or it doesn’t matter.

This explains the bullet holes in the back of my semi truck. Luckily I was only carrying orphans from one orphanage to the other, and only the lowest value ones got hit. Damage was easy to fix and cargo was covered by insurance.
