a little better all right in other words i think i grouped better sending those first five bullets now let's look at our lateral spread of it my far left bullet is right here right and my far right bullet is this one over here and guys i was taking my time sending those bullets i've got another one here so what i'm getting at is here's my lateral spread on the eotech okay a holographic weapon sight here is my lateral spread of this um this standard red dot in this case the sig romeo NUMBER_TOKENt slightly larger guys slightly larger now here's the one that surprised me let's do the NUMBER_TOKENx prism not not technically they'll tell you it's not a red dot at all but a lot of the fans of prisms will tell you yeah but it's not a true red dot but it's got it's got other advantages and it's NUMBER_TOKENx and you can acquire it quick all right shot group top roughly right there bottom roughly right here i actually got a my tightest group out of all of them was um was with this now i like the chevron a very defined aiming point with this even with the red dot turned off you can still see the etched reticle in it very very accurate but it is not with it's not magnified it's it true right um but if we look at the lateral spread guys it's literally roughly the same size shot group so what do we take away from this one carl's a terrible shot at NUMBER_TOKEN meters he should be able to group better than this okay i got that um however the big selling point that well you know hey eotech just blows away a prism or a regular red dot as far as parallax shift maybe bottom line they all have a little bit of parallax try to keep that head as stable as you can i try to line it up as best you can but guys that is where remember zeroing the gun that's where my five bullets were this is where my five bullets were this is roughly where my five bullets were from where my zero is all three of those they really don't have a lot of shift at all okay so what about some of the other things what what else is important with uh red dots when we're talking about what's the best combat optic and a big one guys is uh battery life the reality is for a holographic weapon site is basically uh a laser generated um holograms being basically ran around up in there and projected up onto that pane of glass right it takes about five times as much electricity so i'm told i'm not an engineer to do a holographic weapon site over a standard red dot that's just the dot pred projected up on the up on a single pane of glass okay five times as much battery life now where does this matter really uh it doesn't matter when you're doing missions overseas that let's let's think of that the difference is what your mission is now is this gun going uh for combat ops getting on a helicopter or is this a gun that's going on to your home defense ar that's going to be in the closet now i want that to sink in because those are two completely different
