Videos tagged with Optic Activation

This video discusses a key drawback of certain EOTech optics: the need to press a button to activate them. This is presented as a significant con for home defense and law enforcement scenarios where immediate response is critical. The speaker acknowledges that while workarounds exist, the requirement to power on the optic can be a non-starter in high-stress, rapid-response situations.

This video tests the sensitivity of the Holosun 507c X2's shake-awake feature. The presenter drops various weighted objects onto a firearm equipped with the optic to determine the minimum amount of movement required to activate the Red Dot. The tests reveal that while a feather dropped directly onto the optic does not activate it, heavier objects like a BB or Lego head dropped onto the firearm's receiver do.
