I don't. It's airsoft, why do you need optics?

Re: What optics do you use?
Decent quality Aimpoint clone on my 416 and MP5.
Just got my hands on a Tasco 4-16x50 scope for my M14 DMR.
They're not strictly needed with magnification (certainly not up to the x16 I just bought!), though they can help to take tag numbers from teflon warriors if nothing else, but a decent reflex/red dot does make snap shooting a little easier.

Re: What optics do you use?
I use an Eotech 552, very easy to shoot with. Out of intrest who actually uses there scope/optics? Ive met a few people who just put it on for looks, which seems a little pointless.

Why is it pointless? As Panoptes states, "

"
I'm of the same opinion. Unless you're using a sniper (which I don't) optics are really just for the look, nothing else.
There's a scammer operating openly on this forum. Please be aware of who you're dealing with.

ACOG because it looks damn cool, but also it's good for spotting people with as well. The magnification isn't practical but it helps my piss poor eyesight in spotting people who are hiding behind bushes.

Re: What optics do you use?
eotecs are the way to go.... never understand people that say "its airsoft you dont need optics" way i see it is if your using iron sights your probly one of those people that follow the stream of bb's then tell people you hit them and they are cheating when in actual fact by the time you moved your stream on to them they probly already hit you since they have their optics sighted in properly. speaking from a woodland point of view though for cqb optics arnt that usefull.

I tend to use either an aimpoint or I paint on glow in the dark paint on my sights, which actually works quite well

Re: What optics do you use?
I use a tasco 40mm type of scope, looks stupid to be fair, but I only really use it to spot, I did use a red dot acog, purely for aesthetic reasons, may well try a 4x acog when money permits.

Re: What optics do you use?
I use a G&P aimpoint. And I find it's actually useful, using mostly only semi and mid-caps, I don't have the ammo to waste walking a shot onto a target.
Also because I use a mesh face mask (which is something I won't budge on) I can't get close enough to the stock to look down the iron sights properly.
