Aimpoint vs EOTech 

You COMPLETELY forgot the major factor of the effect of cool temperatures and relatively low humidity and their effects on battery life while stored in my mom's basement.

When the flannel speaks, I listen.

i like to put my eotech behind my aimpoint so i look extra cool

I use both Eotech’s and Micro T2s. Love them both, and use both for different purposes. Every Christmas I put new batteries in every single optic I own. I think of it as “I’m giving my platforms presents”. That way, regardless of how much use the optics get every year, they always start the new year with a fresh battery. Treat em right, and they’ll take care of ya.

Can't wait for EOPoint vs AimTech

eotech, aimpoint, trijicon.... who cares as long as you look good.

I’ve noticed the eotech brightness issue when playing battlefield as well. Great point GT.

That intro was the best so far

This was a solid review. You kept it concise and to the point. Good to see the point of view of an action guy expressed professionally and filmed in this quality. One thing I would say in favor of the Eotech is the 7m meter index it provides at the bottom of the circle which allows the ability for surgical shots at closer ranges without needing mechanical offset. I know eyeball over shoulder moments aren't extremely common, but that is a feature I wish Aimpoint and Trijicon would figure out how to add to their units.

I have an astigmatism and the holographic is so much clearer than a red dot. If I look through my rear peep while looking at the eotech, I can still see the holo is clearer than without the peep sight. Even though the eotech doesn't completely solve my tism, it's so much sharper than the red dot. I hope anyone with glasses reads this if they're between the two

The eotech looks cooler, why didn't you say that first dang that's all i needed to know

The Eotech does look cool af

Great intro (I'm prior Air Force and they do an excellent job flattening the neighborhood). Thanks for doing the comparison, very informative.

So glad you did this video! been waiting!

I started out with a EOTech 512 and it was a good optic, but the battery life was a deal breaker for me. I was in the middle of stage at a 2 Gun match the batteries died on me! Not a good thing to have happen when you need it most. So, I went with the Trijicon AccuPower 1-4 and I've been much happier. I plan on getting the Aimpoint Micro T-2 because I tried a buddy's and I loved it. It's simple yet effective and has an outstanding battery life.

I just love that wide open sight on the holgraphics. The red dot sights are awesome but I find myself battling with that tiny toilet paper tube they have. The eotech and holosun holographic sights are just so much easier to use I think.

love the giant window on and the eotech setup having a 65moa cirlce and 1 moa dot making it much faster for your eye to pick up and put on a target in cqb. you don't have to search for it like you might have to do with a red dot. plus cost... Wish Aimpoint would drop the price on their optics.

Love my BCM Recce 16 with MRO. made repeatable hits with it on fig 11 tgt out to 500m. the large objective lens really help to keep a bright picture.

But which one will help me rescue my waifu pillow or raid my mom's fridge for chicken tendies?

just in case anyone is interested. the CR2032 batteries that most of the red dots use are the same thing that computers use for the CMOS settings, so most electronic stores will have them. We sell them for $3.99, and for a 3-5yr battery life not bad :)

I love my EOTech. Works like a friggin charm and always puts a bullet right where I need it (very quickly, might I add)

Same reason for both is reason I went Trijicon overseas, held up great took the beating no battery case or anything to fry out and never needed to worry about batteries one less thing to worry about, granted i had the old style yellow triangle

My gosh, seeing these older vids, it’s so trippy

I never really grew attached to my EOTech Holographic sight but the Aimpoint Comp M4s I got is really awesome.

i love my Holosun 515C, outer shell looks like Aimpoint T1 but has an EOtech reticle (2 MOA dot + 65 MOA circle)! Has a CR2032 battery and a solar panel (that helps with battery life and acts as an brightness auto adjust, but you can change brightness manually if needed) came complete with killflash plus front&rear flip-up/down covers, an AR-riser and QD-mount for about EUR 300,-

Why is this channel not more popular?! These videos are great.

both are incredible, cant go wrong either way

I really love my aimpoint comp m4! So slim and light. (Sarcasm)

Given the battery life and ease of use, Aimpoint for a defensive weapon. Always ready to go. The better picture window and field of view, not to mention the fact the EOTech has a less than 1 MOA dot, that even under magnification is no bigger than 1 MOA and doesn't cover the target, makes it the better offensive and range weapon. I personally see them as two different tools for two different situations. If something went bump in the night I want an AimPoint. If I'm going out hunting or to the range or in a combat situation I want an EOtech to get on target quick, both close quarters and distance and have a better field of view for situational awareness. The newer eotechs after revision F, have solved most of the problems that plagued them. They're both very reliable now. They both have their strengths and weaknesses pick the right tool for the right job. That's why I own both. My home defense gun is an Aim point pro. My hunting and range gun is an EOTech. They both excel at what they do, but they excel in different areas.

I have gone with the trigicon RMO and have been very happy

Thanks for the info ! Very helpful to me.

A Video on your opinion of what weapon light to mount from size weight and lumens would be helpful and maybe mounting solutions like pressure switches and locations

The correct answer is Trijicon.

I need a flannel loincloth.

Sig Romeo 4m : size of the aimpoint, Eotech reticle. I've baught thoses 3 last month, sold the XPS + Micro, keepted the Sig. Cheers from Switzerland, and thanks for your videos, your doing a great job !

By far my favorite channel I am subscribed to. I comment and like the video before I even watch it.

MOAB of knowledge, love it. And the flannel, of course.

Good tactical information and advice, as always

Fair unbiased analysis.

Is there gonna be a video reviewing different waifu covers for my body pillow? lot of options on the market and curious as to your opinions and experience.

From personal experiences, I can attest most EOTECH EXPS series don't typically last more than 100 hours if you primarily shoot in day light. Twice I had to change batteries before a match, but I still prefer them over Aimpoints for 3 Gun.

Would definitely look forward to Aimpoint vs Trijicon.

Ha! I had to back up and listen to the moab mushroom cloud part again! 😂

"The most important is to look cool". Now that's an advice you can take for life.

I would enjoy hearing your take on the "Meprolight Red Dot 1.8 MOA"

you should do a video on where you buy, and how you choose your flannel shirts.

I have both and I like both. My Aimpoint has a slight edge because of its battery life and ruggedness.

You're.a Boss! Intelligent review. I love the mount I bought from you for my rifle. 2 thumbs up!

I love this guy's sense of humor and timing

Aimpoint vs Eotech: Arm and a leg vs arm and a leg

I like them aimtechs and EOpoints!

"We got a year before these things expires so we're going to drop all of them." Agreed 😂

Consistanly high quality videos and content. Thumbs up.

My Eotech 512 served me well on two tours and my XPS-2-2 now for my retired life ......

Adding a comment for support and appreciation

I chatted with guys from your dad's company regarding Aimpoint vs Trijicon. I like their points but definately look foward to your's as well.

I love the motion on/off feature on the Sig Romeo5. Wish Aimpoint followed suite.

I think you should have also mentioned that the bdc on the eo tech is only calibrated for a certain ammunition type with a certain barrel length.

subscribed and watched numerous vids, you have a great channel

It's awesome how you come up with your knowledge quotes lol

Thanks GT. Happy Thanksgiving.

Very very well done friend .keep up the good work......thanks

YES - Please do an Aimpoint T1/T2 vs. Trijicon MRO/MRO-HD assessment !!!

Can you drop an MOAD of knowledge on knives you would recommend for survival / operations? That would make a dope mushroom cloud

Great discussion - thanks for posting . Have you tried the vortex holographic amp uh-1 sight ?

RU-vid keeps un-subbing me from your channel for some reason, keep on making killer vids man!

Yes definitely do micro vs MRO

Straight Forward Honest Review ... I agree.. and I Definitely LOOK COOL with BOTH EOTEC AND MY MICRO AIMPOINT😜

i tend to use a cutout of G thumbs eye it uses chapstick and flannel and the life time on it depends on how cool you look

Holosun makes the HS503CU which as an Eotech style reticle while maintaining the the aimpoint footprint.

Great flannel. Good video. Decision made. Aimpoint. Carry on.

on my Sig romeo 4T I can toggle between both of those reticles​

i got the aimpoint t2 looked at alot of reviews but no one pointed out if you have an astigmatism it looks like a star instead as a dot i own both now ,the aimpoint t2 and eotech xps2.and love them both.

Neither one fits on this old moist nugget. I just use the bayonet when I get within 100 yards.

Before you do a review on MRO vs Aimpoint, could you also include a 3rd option in that review? I'm been giving some serious thought to the Sig Sauer ROMEO4C. And now, they have a newer model coming out, the ROMEO4T, which is suppose to be even more rugged and durable, with 4 different reticle options. All this, and considering it will be cheaper than the aimpoint, I'm not sure how it isn't better?! But this is all hypothetical because I don't own either, soooo yea... Look forward for the review!

2:59 Thank me later. Edit: If you wanna shoot faster, all you have to do is x2 the speed.

Need the MOAB of the Aimpoint (or EOtech) vs the LCO

One problem with eotech is I've found eotech is okay with a certain amount of dust under the glass. I thought it was just mine but I checked out a few at the shop, they all had a small amount of dust under the glass.

Overall a good review. I like that you admitted a certain bias and why. The review came across as honest. Good shooting also. Conversely, I would have like to have seen the Aimpoint's sight in order to compare with the EOTech's sight.(My last time to shoot a rifle like this was in 70s with the M-16, and the sights were open). Also you tend toward mumbling or running words together, which is common among the young. Again, well rounded review.

Personally I like a aim point style with a eotech style reticle That 65 moa circle is just so good

I prefer the protection the Eotech provides. The whole hardhat feature of the case surrounding the optic makes me feel a lot safer when I have to move my weapon around corners and walls. I like knowing it will always work and I don't care about the damn recall I am taking my Eotech to hell and back any day!

I have a lower budget red dot. But a point in the favor of the plain red dot for older shooters with a stigma, the red dot is easier to see.

i came here for gear, i stayed for the opening jokes. 10/10 m8.

Great information here. Has anything changed in the past 2 years with either brand?

Flan-Man.... the hero Gotham deserves

But I believe for powered/battle rife optic, the Elcan is absolutely amazing

Thank you for making a choice and not just reading the product manuals. Aimpoint.

We need a video on the tactical reload of toilet paper. The most important thing being paper. Over or under?

i used to be an eotech guy. now i use a h1 and an mro. the mro is a good optic.

I`ll use whichever one that makes me look like a Delta Force Seals Alpha Bravo Assault Tier One SAS operator so I can look super cool on the airsoft field!

I used Eotechs in Iraq and Afghanistan. My Eotech broke as many of my team members did. We ended up taking them off all weapons systems and going with aimpoint and trijicon optics. I know they have supposedly fixed these issues after the numerous law suits but I am always skeptical of their quality now.

Great video!

Love this channel. I literally have only subscribed to maybe 2-3 channels in my entire youtube career. The assembly of wit, knowledge and practical tips makes this channel absolutely outstanding. Also, this dude sounds exactly like my cousin. : ) Exactly. Same humor too. Fucking clones.

A video about EOTech vs. Aimpoint and I get a Vortex ad lol

3:06 I just got a exps 3-0 and on max brightness it’s burning my retinas out of my eyes. I know you made another vid since this one. And my eotech brightness might be due to improvements they’ve made. But I think it’s plenty bright. In fact unbearably bright on max setting even in daylight.

hey garand can you do a vid on variable optics? which ever youve used. i see you have a steiner can you do a vid on products like that

Costco has the bulk pack of Duracell CR2032s. Just FYI. Not hard to find at all.

You should try and get a review of new MRO patrol...

I have a couple of the Primary Arms AMD and they are pretty great. You mentioned PA at the beginning of the video. Is the Primary Arms AMD something you would trust with your life? I have a Trijicon MRO on my go to AR.

So I just watched a video on EOTech Redemption I too have an AimPoint T2 and an EOTech exps3 and I always like that optic more than my red dots cuz yes it does look badass but I was wondering I also have the magnifier do you keep yours on all the time or do you take it off periodically thanks thanks a lot cool ass reviews.
