How to Remove Aim Sight on Airsoft Gun

Red dot or magnified optics?
The presence or absenteeism of the electric or classic eyes on our airsoft replicas was always the topic of lots of the heated discussions on forums. The market extends its offer everyday and the poor airsofter is going crazy, because of too many possibilities – he doesn't know what he wants anymore. In this entry I'll tell yous something nearly the bodily possible solutions and add my personal commentary to each one.

Aiming "by the BB's"
I just had to mention it – practically, each one of us knows someone, who does this or was that kind of person or even is that kind of person. This method, theoretically is potentially quick and kinda efficient, but only theoretically. What is very important for me, this kind of aiming makes one to larn very stupid habits, and fifty-fifty the incorrect shooting stance. That's not what we want ;) The other con of this method is the fact, that aiming with the bb'southward requires actual bb's to aim, then the start shots aren't that accurate as they could be. Of course, the muscle retentiveness does its chore, the practice with your replica likewise, merely endeavour to get an accurate long range shot without several bb's sent for the aiming purpose.

Reddish dot sight
Red dot sight is probably the most popular electronic optics used on for fights on the brusk and medium ranges. In CQB information technology performs outstanding, giving the user an excellent reaction time and smashing comfort and simplicity of the maintenance – you simply need to worry about the batteries. The bb go but straight to the visible cherry-red dot. Thanks to the aiming with both eyes open, nosotros don't lose whatsoever of the very important field of view. Talking about the medium range firefights, there exists an unfortunate syndrome of "hey man! I had you lot on the blood-red dot!" – the habitation-grown commando is completely convinced that his replica shoots perfectly straight on whatsoever range. I recall, there is no need to say that in most of this situations the bb's are falling right in forepart of the potential cheater.

Skipping the aspects like the partition of the open up and closed type ruby-red dot sights, it is worth to look for the aiming reticle that suits your own needs – you can have a uncomplicated dot or something more than complicated, similar a circumvolve with drib points, which can be very useful in our airsoft conditions. Some other pro of that type of sight is (normally) the plumage light weight and a petty size, that doesn't take too much place on the carbine track. Information technology is worth to remember, that when fighting in the woodland environment, the red dot sights aren't that helpful in spotting camouflaged enemies, considering of the lack of magnification.

Pros:
+ quite cheap
+ neat for close quarters
+ they don't require that precise shooting stance to aim (less parallax event)
+ thank you to the aiming with both optics open up, information technology gives a wider field for observation
+ they don't demand to be placed directly virtually the middle

Cons:
- no magnification for short and medium ranges
- the "fictional universality"
- you demand to maintain the batteries properly

The eyes with fixed magnification
Completely dissimilar solution than the red dot sight. With the loss of the aiming speed and virtually of the field vision, we proceeds a cracking opportunity to find the terrain, enemy and even the trajectory of our bb's – and frankly, this gives a lot of advantage in the airsoft reality in the green fields. We are talking almost the assault rifle replica, then forget most magnification higher than the x4 or x6. The x4 magnification makes the ideal compromise for terrain ascertainment and having bb's firefight on medium and long ranges.

Except for the inexpensive scopes with simple cantankerous and x4 zoom, which have a lot of place on the rails, there are also the Trijicon fabricated (ACOG) and the Elcan (both the classic one and the Specter DR) optics replicas. I've used both a few ACOG and Specter DR copies and frankly, I tin say that much good nigh the ACOGs. They have clear vision and proper magnification, but they crave your eye to almost lay on its glass in order to come across anything different from black tunnel. For example, they are completely unusable in Tavor replicas, aforementioned thing tin can happen if you utilize back-up rear sights. When information technology comes to the Specter DR, things are drastically different. Y'all tin aim pretty fast for a magnified sight, and with a petty practice you can learn to use it with both eyes open up. On the other hand, some of the ACOGs have the illuminated crosshair, when the Specter replica illumination doesn't piece of work properly even on cloudy days (there is practically no divergence).

Pros:
+ great for further observation of the terrain
+ makes it piece of cake to follow the trajectory of bb'south on the long range
+ they piece of work even without the batteries

Cons:
- heavier than the cerise dots
- require some rail space
- quite useless on the short ranges
- the price

Stock-still magnification optic + pocket-size ruddy dot
The situation is quite similar to the one explained to a higher place, just now we put on our ACOG/Specter an extra red dot sight (a Docter, RMR or micro T1 copy). Theoretically, the weight increases again, but frankly – does information technology actually matter when you already have a 0,5kg Specter? Finally, with that solution comes the universality – micro red dot for CQB, and scope for medium and long range. You don't need to regulate anything – you but move your head to the second optic. On the other hand – higher line of aiming means bigger target for your enemy, and we all perfectly know how the lost bb's work in this kind of situation.

Pros:
+ universality
+ observation possibilities
+ makes it like shooting fish in a barrel to follow the trajectory of fired bb's

Cons:
- weight
- price
- high line of aim
- y'all need to call back about the batteries for little red dot

The optics with changable magnification
For me – it's incredible. This paragraph is about the Shortdot scopes. Shortdot is a scope with regulated magnification between the x1/x1.25 and x4/x6 value. The crosshair is no longer the traditional one, merely something more than like a hybrid of mildot with the red dot type crosshair – which makes it work practically like a red dot when on information technology'due south on the x1 adjustment. The difference betwixt shortdot with no magnification and reddish dot sight is just marginal. From this category, I wouldn't recommend the x1-x4 Specter DR copies, because they don't work properly.

Pros:
+ universality
+ one slice of gear with many uses
+ no high line of aim, in opposite for the stock-still magnification + ruby dot combo
+ comfortable aiming reticle
+ works fifty-fifty without battery
+ smoothen adjustment

Cons:
- toll
- size

Red dot sight + magnifier
The last solution that guarantees the universality of your set on replica. You lot place the x3 magnifier with the special flip-up mount behind your crimson dot (most frequently the Eotech or Aimpoint replica). Depending on the needs – flip it on the ruby-red dot for the magnified view, and flip out for the standard view. Theoretically, it works a little faster than adjusting the zoom in the shortdot telescopic. If yous're going for this combo, I would recommend to pay a little more and purchase the Eotech G33 replica – cheers to the adjustment screws information technology works a lot improve than the old gen copy. The ruby-red dot + magnifier takes a lot of rail space and weighs well, but if yous already accept a cerise dot sight – yous simply need to buy a magnifier for it, which is a smaller amount of money spent, than the shortdot or fixed scope.

Pros:
+ price (the ownership of crimson dot scenario)
+ versatility

Cons:
- size!
- price (if you lot're buying the whole combo at once)
- the demand of taking care of batteries
- flipped out magnifier is blocking some of the side view

To sum it up
Knowing the pros and cons of each solution and your ain personal needs, you should be able to easily and quickly make the decision which options suits you best. In case of playing mostly on CQB fields – there is no bespeak of magnification, yous should go a cherry dot that guarantees the precious milliseconds of reaction. This type of optics also near doesn't have the parallax result, so aiming is equally simple as looking at the crimson dot.

If you're more about the woodlands – get something with magnification. It is worth to sacrifice some of the condolement coming from weight of our gun for a profoundly wider spread of possibilities in the forest terrains, where people are using the advantages of their camouflage and aren't that easy to spot without zoomed optics.
