I'm glad to see this. I was wondering if they would keep investing in development of carbine optics--especially after being spun off from L3. EOTech is by far the most optically sophisticated 1x optic.Originally Posted by HCM

I’m hoping for a shake awake system.
Holographic sights are always going to draw more power than an LED but they seem like a perfect application for shake awake.
Anything would be better than having to fuck with your optic when you need to use your gun.

I feel like that would actually be a terrible idea, at least for mass issuing; the battery life is way too short, so if you forget to lock-out the shake-awake (assuming that a lock-out is implemented), you're far more likely to end up with a dead battery if the optic is riding on a firearm that's in a vehicle or something, given that HWSes have battery life that are orders of magnitudes shorter than RDSes. You'd have to be pretty on the ball between keeping it manually off and enabling the shake-awake.
I also find it mildly amusing that the pictures of the new HWS on the URGs are paired with the G33 rather than the G43 or G45, though I assume that's really just because the G4x aren't an issued magnifier, unlike the G33.
Also makes me wonder whatever happened to the Elcan HCO. The use of the external adjustment system is interesting, given that the SpecterDR has been so polarizing on that regard; I keep hearing that the new revs have fixed all the old issues, including the inconsistency of the external adjustments.
If its competitively priced, solves the battery life problem at least in part, and doesn't break, these will sell well
Is this going to be two separately zeroed reticles like that REALLY expensive optic SIG has developed?
I have zero faith in the cast offs from L3. The OGL underscores this.
Ok?
Care to elaborate? Do you have hands on experience with the OGL?
No, I don't, because they keep delaying release of *some* reason...
