This review covers the O-Sight XE, an RMR footprint enclosed emitter reflex sight. Key features include pop-up rear iron sights, user-selectable reticles (2 and 6 MOA dots, with circle options), a side battery tray, and IPX7 water resistance. The sight is motion-activated and offers 1 MOA per click adjustments for elevation and windage. It's presented as a budget-friendly, reliable option for pistol optics.

This video reviews two new O-site optics: the SE and the XE AMRS. The SE is a red 6 MOA dot version of a previous green model, featuring an enclosed emitter and shake-a-wake functionality. The XE AMRS offers a replaceable battery, built-in backup sights, and a multi-reticle system with 2 MOA and 6 MOA dots, optionally paired with a 32 MOA circle. Both optics are praised for their construction, enclosed emitters, and included accessories, with the reviewer expressing high satisfaction with O-site products and their lifetime warranty.

This review thoroughly tests the O-Sight XE enclosed red dot sight, focusing on its durability, performance, and features. The presenter, who has extensive experience with the previous XR model, conducts drop tests and live-fire evaluations over 3000 rounds. Key findings include its robust construction, clear optics with minimal parallax, and versatile reticle options, making it a strong contender for EDC and duty use, despite minor criticisms regarding the 'bunny ears'.

The Gideon Mediator XL is presented as a direct competitor to EOTech-style optics, featuring a large 28x38mm window and a versatile reticle system with a 3 MOA dot and 68 MOA circle, both of which can be independently disabled. It offers 10 brightness settings, with two specifically for night vision compatibility. The optic is ruggedized, shockproof, and has demonstrated reliability under heavy recoil, maintaining zero across multiple platforms. It utilizes a single CR123 battery and features a sleep mode with shake-awake functionality.

This video reviews the Vortex Triumph 2 MOA red dot sight, highlighting its budget-friendly price point and robust feature set. The instructor emphasizes its suitability for various platforms, including AR-15s and PCCs, and its effectiveness for personal defense and CQB. A key takeaway is its impressive durability, demonstrated through a rigorous water bottle torture test that confirmed zero retention.

The Infitec OWS 32 is presented as a potential future in firearm optics, blending features of holographic and reflex sights. It utilizes flat lenses to eliminate reticle distortion common in curved reflex lenses and avoids the fuzziness associated with holographic sights' laser diodes. The OWS 32 also offers a multi-reticle system with seven options and is positioned at a price point comparable to standard reflex sights, making it a more affordable alternative to holographic options like EOTech.

This guide details the technique for firing the Micro Uzi in full-auto, as demonstrated by Dave Merrill and Dave Rhoden on RECOILtv. It emphasizes proper grip, stock usage, and recoil management due to the firearm's high cyclic rate (1250 RPM). The instruction highlights the effectiveness of the compensator ports in controlling muzzle rise during intense firing sequences.

This entry details the extensive career of Billy Waugh, a legendary figure in US special operations and intelligence. It covers his early life, military service in Korea and Vietnam with Special Forces and SOG, pioneering HALO jump techniques, and advanced intelligence gathering operations in Africa. Waugh's expertise in clandestine surveillance, tracking high-value targets like Carlos the Jackal and Osama bin Laden, and utilizing night operations in challenging environments is highlighted.

This video provides an expert-level look inside a real Ukrainian arms room in 2024, showcasing a diverse array of weaponry from Soviet-era relics to modern Western platforms. Host Iain Harrison, RECOIL's editor, details the logistical shift towards NATO standards and highlights specific weapon systems in use by Ukrainian forces in Eastern Ukraine. The entry emphasizes the practical application and integration of various firearms and munitions in a high-intensity conflict zone.

This guide details the field stripping and basic operation of the PKM machine gun, as demonstrated by Iain Harrison of RECOILtv. It covers disassembly steps including barrel and bolt carrier group removal, as well as loading and unloading procedures. Harrison, an expert with high authority, highlights the PKM's Soviet construction and unique feeding mechanism compared to Western designs.
