  1. LOTS of people are anti eotech. The only reason why eotechs are as popular as they are is because L3 dumped a trillion gajillion dollars into advertising. Eotechs are by and large crappy sights. The reticle is "OK" at best but nothing spectacular. I believe its fantastic at 5-7 yards and under but beyond that the aimpoint is far superior.

     

    Also, i dont care how "fast" the doughnut of death may be. Its NOT precise. Id much rather take a smaller dot over a circle any day of the week for a precise shot.

     

    Putting all of that aside, the real issue is that Eotechs are unreliable. Unfortunately, there are no official statistics to support this but anyone that has attending carbine classes knows that eotechs fail a whole hell of a lot more than Aimpoints do. I also laugh at the guys that rush out to get fresh AA's or CR123A's for their eotechs before the class starts. I assume you're going to push fresh batteries into your eotech before an active shooter engagement? :rolleyes:

     

    Travis Haley said it best. "The last thing anyone needs to worry about is turning their optic on when they need it."

     

    I leave all of my aimpoints on my rifles permanently turned on. They're never turned off and i change the batteries once a year on my birthday just to be safe.

    I've never had any problems with my 511. Even with the front glass broken. Still true as can be. Only after about three months of heavy use, my N-cell batteries are starting to die. Since the batteries were failing, I borrowed my friends AP M3 and noticed a big difference. The tube blocked out more of my FOV than my 511. I'm not saying the Aimpoint is horrible, rather, I'd like to have one. But it's not a 'replacement' for the EOtech. At least in my opinion.

  2. Well my Madbull Gemtech G5 is here, but I can't install the silencer since the bayonett mount is in the way.....have to wait til my new front sight post get here....

    What front sight will you be using? I'm just wondering what will go well with the CASV.

  3. Kraut, AWESOME opfor loadout. One of the better ones I've seen.

     

    The glasses sell it.

    Thanks! Yeah, I get a little frustrated when people wear the gucci gear with an OD top and a shemagh and call it an 'insurgent' look.

    The glasses are made of 50% awesome and 50% badassness.

     

    Kraut, that loadout looks great - definitely got the FF look going. I don't remember seeing you at Irene, though. Unfortunately we were taking so many pictures of TFR during the first scenario that no one got any of us (that we've seen anyways). But here's me and the good colonel:

    The beard came off as soon as I got home, it was driving me nuts.

    Thanks. Unfortunately the guy I was supposed to go with didn't get paid enough by the AF Guard (cheap bastards) and we had to drop out :(

    I like your set up, you kept it simple as it should be.

  5. quick question about lipo batteries

     

    do they use the same mini concetors as standard batteries or will you need an adapter or change the connectors completely.

    Depends on where you buy them. I got mine off of eBay from an RC shop and they came without connectors. I bought a bag of ten minis for $2 and put them on myself. Extremely easy to do, but if you want peak performance go with deans.

  6. I was under the impression the SRC drum mags were push button, not wired? Or is it modded?

    Sorry for the questions, I'm looking to pick one up next paycheck.

     

    Very nice collection, btw.
