I had one on my M4, and I really liked it. Nice, clear reticule too.

Theres not much difference between a red dot aimpoint, and the multi reticule. All i means is that you can change the crosshair. It just cools good, thats all lol.

Those sights I prefer to aimpoints actually- theyre a lot less clunky and they allow better peripheral vision.

Re: multi reticle red dot sights?

+1 to what spetsnazdave said. you get great peripheral vision beause obviouly you keep both eyes open and its just a small square frame getting in the way.

Also, the ones I've seen have always been VERY bright on the highest setting which is nice. And aimpoints I've seen are often quite dim in comparison...oh and you can have a cool crosshair/target/aimy thingy as opposed to just a dot.

Bad points for me are that they are quite vulnerable to shattering from bbs, and you cant really keep rain off them so they smear up, and also they are quite small and low profile so they don't look great on bigger guns IMO.

Also as Waltzin says the common cheap ACM version is much much better than a common cheap ACM aimpoint double the price... Ive seen G+P aimpoints dimmer than the little chinese holosights you can get on ebay. A certain website has just released a chinese C-MORE (the sight used in terminator salvation) too.

When I get home on friday I'll give you a quick shout about how the RS Kobra sight I've got waiting for me works.....

Re: multi reticle red dot sights?

sounds all good, i see wat u mean waltzin, it could be, so are they better or worse? when u say there low profile, too small for big guns they'd look alright on top of a p90? where did u see that sight spetsnaz??

Re: multi reticle red dot sights?

Well I'm assuming we're talking about the (dont kill me) COD 4 style red dot sight that has the four reticules.
They would look alright on a P90 I would think, but PERSONALLY I think that they dont look big enough to go on M4s..or anything other than submachine guns.

Re: multi reticle red dot sights?

Ive owned two and my mate is currently selling one IMHO they do the same thing as an eotech, they're just a quarter of the weight!

Re: multi reticle red dot sights?

Just get bit of clear Perspex and glue/tape it on. Mine was shattered in CQB back when I was new to airsoft, which was a real shame as it was bl**dy brilliant. E'Banned version it was.

On a random note, I'm going to experiment with a side of a tictac box as a protector, just a vague idea i've been playing with. Going to test it first though

Red dot look the part but as mentioned glass seems to get shot out quite often, in dusk/ night/ low light they do stand out if viewed from the front, but without a doubt get one

Re: multi reticle red dot sights?

Rght so RS Kobra sight:

Pro's: half the price of an EOTECH and twice as durable,
4 selectable reticules,
comes with picatinny fitting and an AK side adaptor,
solid enough to use as a melee weapon.

Con's: not made any more.
