Ahoy mateys!
I just wanted to drop off actual information regarding the usage of firearms here - as rare a topic of discussion that seems to be in the last year.
For some background information - a red dot/holographic sight can be used to shoot under NODS without tell-tale emissions going back to your adversary - in my case a large series of completely mean steel plates that have tried to kill me multiple times.
These steel plates can obviously zero in on my position because they start slinging lead back at me 1/4 of a second or so after I shoot them, and they are tough sons of bitches as I have only downed a few of them in my career. Fuckers are so tough they don't even run when I start shooting or take cover or anything. I'm beginning to suspect I'm shooting at an army of Chuck Norris clones.
In order to perhaps dodge the return fire a little better, I wanted to give these plates less warning in the future. Hence the desire for a better passive aiming optic.
A little birdy told me the Holosun AEMS was as good as the Eotech's under NVG's. I didn't believe said birdy, in accordance with instructions from my psychiatrist.
I dug a gun back out of the trash can before the garbage truck arrived and tossed it on there to see how it worked.
To make a long story endless, the birdy was pretty much right. I cannot discern a difference between this unit under nods and the Eotech. Last night was 0 illum pretty much, and we went off to the deep dark areas and it worked great for passive aiming.
For comparison, the Vortex AMG UH-1 Gen2 and the older Holosuns sucked in comparison.
