Was watching Netflix and decided to check out Miami Swat. The show is a few years old and provides some interesting background noise while I'm at work. This scene catches my attention as the team is about to make entry on a home. His AR has no back up irons, but has an ACOG and Eotech. First time I've ever seen this, maybe I'm missing something here. Any thoughts?

Or, more likely a poorly staged scene...Dude does kind'a look like JCVD.

Or... someone told him about magnifiers with RDS, and he decided to try it for himself. How many pics have we seen where a cop had his optic mounted backwards?

Based on his eye position it looks like he's using the little pistol-sight nubs on top of the ACOG anyway.

That and he's bridging the gap between the upper and handguards with the eotech. Gasp!
Cops have been known on occasion to stage stupid stuff when then cameras are rolling, just cause. Usually it involves parading giant dildos out of a meth house, but when the opportunity arises.
Whether you think you can or you can't, you're probably right.
Here is your explanation: Most cops are not gun people. He doesn't know what he is doing and he is not alone.
Believe me, I understand that most cops aren't gun people. But a department the size of Miami-Dade PD (4700 sworn) that has a full time SWAT team has to have some squared away guys. You're paid to train and go out on callouts every single day. I'm not sure if someone saw my thread here but another picture was posted on the Primary & Secondary FB group about the same setup. The consensus seemed to be that the Acogs were 1033 items with burned out tritium vials. They were using them as magnifiers for the Eotechs. Doesn't make much sense but that seems to be the story behind this setup.
And I'm sure they do. The ones I worked alongside for 17 years through 2004, anyway. (With the same exceptions as any other outfit.)
