Talk:Aimpoint CompM2

message: why was this moved to M68 CCO? I feel that the old title (Aimpoint CompM2) appropriately followed the <manufacturer> <manufacturer's product name> format used so frequently on wikipedia, whereas this new one sports a unique designation used only by the US Army, and also fails to explain what CCO stands for (collimated combat optic, I'm guessing). if no explanation is given, I'm going to move this back to the old title.

thread_title:  why was this moved to ''M68 CCO''? 

message: I was wondering where the source of the numbers is for the following statement in the article: "The M68 is parallax-free outside of 50m, meaning that while the red dot moves around the inside of sight based on eye position, it always represents the point of aim. Inside of 50m the red dot has to be kept in the center of the reticle." The reason I am curious is because I would like to see if I can find this information for Aimpoint CompM4 article I am writing. I saw references to 25m as the minimum distance elsewhere on the internet so I really want to clear this up. Igor at work 19:27, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I was wondering when was this scope released? I've certain I've seen it on Delta's CAR-15's in the movie Black Hawk Down but also know movies are unreliable in the weapons attachments. I find it hard to believe these were available in 1993. 19:27, 24 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: First, the movie Black Hawk Down is not accurate - the Comp M2 didn't exist in 1993. In real life, the Delta operators and some Rangers used Aimpoint 3000s and 5000s, the only Aimpoint optics available at the time. However, both were out of production when the movie was filmed in 2001, so the Comp M2/M68 CCO was used as a stand-in (see this article). Regarding the release date for the Comp M2: Aimpoint's own web site claims that it was introduced in 2000, but this sounds inaccurate to me because U.S. soldiers and Marines have been photographed using them on training exercises before that date (for example: during Limited Objective Experiment 1 at Camp Lejune in 1998, some U.S. Marines were photographed carrying M4 Carbines fitted with the CompM2 - see here for example). I'm guessing that 2000 was the year that the CompM2 was standardized into the SOPMOD kit, but it clearly existed as a commercial product before then, and also began testing with the U.S. military before its formal adoption in 2000. -MA08P46K (talk) 01:01, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
