Warrior Expo – Aimpoint 

Thursday, April 30th, 2015

The FCS 12 Fire Control System was developed about 13 years ago for use with the Carl Gustav 84mm but it’s starting to gain some steam for use with additional weapon systems such as the Mk 19.  This flexibility means you can have one sight solution for use with multiple weapons. 

It incorporates a reflex sight, ballistic computer and laser range finder into a single package.  It is user configurable and provides precision targeting for the weapon it is attached to.  In addition to weapon system, the user selects ammunition type and selects a target to engage.  The FCS 12 then selects offers a disturbed reticle for successful engagement.

SHOT Show – Spuhr AB

Wednesday, January 28th, 2015

I always enjoy visiting with Håkan Spuhr. He consistently offers up now, innovative products, year after year. This SHOT Show he showed me his Ballistic Adjustment Module designed for use with rifles and machine guns.

(null)

It’s a unimount for the Aimpoint M4 and magnifier which adjusts for elevation. That’s right, the mount moves up and down with distance settings found on an ambidextrous knob at the front of the BAM. The 50/200m setting is considered zero and in addition to visible settings there is a tactile “tongue” on the knob to determine zero position.

(null)

While there are 5.56mm (50/200, 400, 600, 800m) and 7.62mm (50/200, 400, 600, 800, 1000m) settings, quantity purchasers can specify custom distance settings.

Larry Vickers Initial Impressions On The Aimpoint Micro T-2

Wednesday, October 29th, 2014

LAV T-2

On his Facebook page, Larry Vickers wrote a brief post on his initial impressions on the newly released Aimpoint Micro T-2 red dot sight:

Ok it’s here – Aimpoint Micro T-2

I expect to be able to shake it out very soon and give you my take after live fire – initial impressions are very positive;

1) clarity – looking thru it the view seems a bit more clear side to side with a T-1 but I personally never felt that was an issue before so not a huge advantage in my book

2) flip up lense covers are very nice ( they are see thru ) – on a T-1 I use the TangoDown IO cover and love them but the option to see thru is nice; thumbs up

3) protected top adjustment – no downside here in my book; just makes it more rugged. FYI it means you only have one ‘double pronged’ cap to adjust with on the optic – not two like on the T-1

4) extended battery life – what’s not to like about that ???

My call is if you own T-1’s or H-1’s you won’t be selling them to buy T-2’s but going forward the T-2 will be the preferred option depending of course on price and application

Kudos to Aimpoint for bringing another flavor of red dot sight to the market and in particular another variant of the Micro – my personal favorite and the RDS that redefined excellence in the marketplace.
