AimPoint Unveils New CompM5b Reflex Sight (SHOT Show 2020)

This video provides an initial look at the new Osite R rifle optic. The presenter highlights its features, including a night vision button, pop-down lens covers, and an optional honeycomb kill flash. It compares the optic's reticle (2 MOA dot with 64 MOA ring) to EOTech and Aimpoint models, noting its apparent parallax-free design and robust build.

This video argues that Low Power Variable Optics (LPVOs) are unsuitable for serious fighting carbines, advocating instead for true 1x optics like EOTechs or ACOGs. The speaker, citing extensive training and experience, emphasizes the importance of physical fitness for forming valid opinions on firearm optics. The core arguments revolve around the superior durability, true 1x performance, and better eyebox/eye relief of red dots and fixed magnifiers over LPVOs for combat applications.

This video explores the impact of red dot sight size (MOA) on handgun and rifle performance. While smaller dots (2-3 MOA) are often preferred for dry-fire precision, the speaker finds larger dots (5-6 MOA) can be easier to acquire and track during live fire due to their visibility at lower brightness settings. Performance differences are often psychological, with shooters tending to perform better with the dot size they prefer.
