chillindrdude Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 i plan on configuring mine as an SPR-ish weapon, with GRIP-POD, 4x scope with jpoint on larue mounts, and folding BUIS Link to post Share on other sites
Aod Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 ORLY?!! So, is it possible with some work to remove the 'bits and bobs' to convert one to an IR laser? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> yes, but you will need to focus it properly, and the focusing lenses that come with the unit will probably (i guess) not work the problem is, because its IR, you won't be able to see the beam to focus it.

SilentScope Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I guess from these pictures it looks like the dimensions aren't as messed up as I thought. But why didn't they replicate the newer Rev. F sight, that's just stooopid. Link to post Share on other sites

tome Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 sorry for the off topic but that looks like it's worth about 3 dollars haha. So now you've won the bet tef you can get one of your own! Link to post Share on other sites
(V)atrix Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 i just feel that i should mention that there is no such thing as a green laser Diode. green LEDs, yes, lasers, no. the now-common green lasers are produced using a 808nm IR laser diode shone through a variety of bits and bobs which reduce the frequency to around 425nm <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks for that correction... I knew that little tidbit of knowledge once upon a time, but it's been some time since I had researched the topic, and that bit of info had slipped my mind. I appreciate the reminder. Though, I thought there's only one piece that changes the laser from IR to green - an IR filter (basically a piece of specially treated glass between the emitter and the lens assembly).

BOEL Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 Uhmm, thats a must have for my upcoming Galil SAR... The only matter is that I hate redwolf, I will have to wait to guns and guys and WGC to have it in stock. Link to post Share on other sites
tome Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 or you can try ebay... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Eotech-Holo-511-Sigh...1QQcmdZViewItem the specs look similar enough, save for the "class II laser product" bit. I wonder if that's an all too common ebay lie? Link to post Share on other sites
psollitt Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 mmm IMO the seller does look a bit dodgy ... no feedback , same 2 items for sale .. no history .. well is suppose everyone has to start somewhere well ho humm.. Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted August 8, 2006 Report Share Posted August 8, 2006 The lie is passing off a hurricane for a real EOtech. Thats illegal. Link to post Share on other sites
star Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 The real EO-TECH or Bushnell will not survive in the war game, their glasses are too weak for bb's. Link to post Share on other sites
(V)atrix Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 The real EO-TECH or Bushnell will not survive in the war game, their glasses are too weak for bb's. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I beg to differ! It takes a steel punch and hammer to put holes in the display models that EOTech provides to distributors (to demonstrate how the sight keeps working even with severe damage). The lenses are not "weak" by any stretch of the imagination. Also, I've seen many real EOTech mounted on airsoft weapons (hell, there are probably 6 of us one my team alone who use them), and I've never seen one break from a BB impact. That's not to say it's impossible, but certainly far from likely. Link to post Share on other sites

nikoneko Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 well, I got mine a few days ago from WGC when they had them for $150... little less painful than $178. I also have the real deal(NV version). So doing a quick comparison, the points that stand out immediately to me is that externally, the replica is very well done. The finish is very good, the weight is a little bit lighter than the real but not by much.Sizewise it's right on.Durability seems very good but it would take time to find out for sure...The reticle is where the difference in price come out. In bright sun(against light colored surface) the real deal is definitely much brighter and the replica washes out...you can still see the reticle but very faint...but under "normal airsoft" circumstances it will work fine...also there's one point that really annoys me...there's two reflections(lighter in intensity) of the red reticle that's on the screen near(top and bottom slightly left) the "real" reticle that you see very annoyingly under some lighting and stronger reticle illumination...and in the green mode it's very strong and I would consider the green mode to be utterly useless. Otherwise I'll post anything else that I may eventually find... Link to post Share on other sites
KeyChain Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I think that Eotech should sue Hurricane. If I invented the Eotech and purchased a copyright and patent I wouldn't want some other company replicating my sight. I think Hurricane should atleast get permission before they went along with it.

tome Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 Sorry keychain but i don't think that would work. Bizarrely copyrights don't work in all countries around the world. No one country get's to dictate another's laws so if you happen to manufacture in a country that doesn't enforce these laws than Eotech are pretty out of luck. Anyway, it's not like they're loosing a lot of business from it. If you could afford a real one would you get the copy? 'Course not. that's why swiss watch makers don't really care about replicas of their stuff, if you could afford the real thing you wouldn't be caught dead with a replica.

Wege Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 so the Hurricane copy is actually using the 'hologram' technology? Some one want to risk shooting their's pointblank with a BB to test as well? Link to post Share on other sites
