Frequently Asked Questions

How do you zero an H&K MP5 with an EOTech optic?

To zero an H&K MP5 with an EOTech optic, fire a group at your desired distance. Observe the impact pattern and use the optic's adjustment turrets to move the point of aim to the center of the group. Confirm zero with subsequent shots, including rapid fire strings.

What is the proper method for adjusting an EOTech optic?

EOTech optics typically use a tool, like a bullet tip or screwdriver, to depress and turn the adjustment turrets. Each click corresponds to a specific angular measurement (e.g., MOA). Adjustments are made based on the observed deviation of your shot group from the point of aim.

How can you confirm a firearm's zero is holding under rapid fire?

To confirm zero under rapid fire, shoot multiple strings of shots in quick succession. After each rapid string, check your target to ensure the shot group remains centered around your point of aim. Significant shifts indicate potential issues with the optic mount or firearm.
