For example, the Vortex Razor AMG UH-1 holographic sight has been quoted as having an expected battery life of 1,000 to 1,500 hours (1½ to 2 months) on medium setting. [9] The Aimpoint CompM5s red dot sight has an expected battery life of around 8,000 to 50 000 hours (1 to 5 years) depending on the setting.
The pictured magnifier is flipped in, and is magnifying the view through the sight. [a] A sight magnifier is an optical telescope that can be paired with a non-magnifying optical sight on a weapon to create a telescopic sight. [1] [2] They work with the parallel collimated reticle image produced by red dot sights and holographic weapon sights.

EOTECH manufactures holographic weapon sights, magnified optics, and night vision sensors. EOTECH was the first company to create holographic sights, [1] having solved the problem of wavelength instability exhibited by laser diodes.
Sights can be a simple set or system of physical markers that serve as visual references for directly aligning the user's line of sight with the target (such as iron sights on firearms), [3] or optical instruments that provide an optically enhanced—often magnified—target image aligned in the same focus with an aiming point (e.g. telescopic ...
A telescopic sight, commonly called a scope informally, is an optical sighting device based on a refracting telescope. [1] It is equipped with some form of a referencing pattern – known as a reticle – mounted in a focally appropriate position in its optical system to provide an accurate point of aim.
The first ACOG model, known as the TA01, was released in 1987. [3] [4] An example was tested on the Stoner 93 in the early 1990s by the Royal Thai Armed Forces. [5]In 1995, United States Special Operations Command selected the 4×32 TA01 as the official scope for the M4 carbine and purchased 12,000 units from Trijicon. [6]
