  2. Holographic weapon sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holographic_weapon_sight

    The laser diode in a holographic sight uses more power and has more complex driving electronics than a standard LED of an equivalent brightness, reducing the amount of time a holographic sight can run on a single set of batteries compared to a red dot sight, [7] around 600 hours for typical holographic sights, compared to sometimes up to tens ...

  3. Red dot sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_dot_sight

    A red dot sight is a common classification [1] for a non-magnifying reflector (or reflex) sight that provides an illuminated red dot to the user as a point of aim. A standard design uses a red light-emitting diode (LED) at the focus of collimating optics , which generates a dot-style illuminated reticle that stays in alignment with the firearm ...

  4. Reflector sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflector_sight

    A view through a Tasco ProPoint red dot sight. The mid- to late 1970s saw the introduction of what are usually referred to as red dot sights, a type that gives the user a simple bright red dot as an aiming point. [27] The typical configuration for this sight is a compact curved mirror reflector design with a red light-emitting diode (LED) at ...

    On weapons, these sights are usually formed by rugged metal parts, giving them the name "iron sights", [4] as distinct from optical or computing sights. [5] On many types of weapons they are built-in and may be fixed, adjustable, or marked for elevation , windage , target speed, etc. [ 3 ] They are also classified in forms of notch (open sight ...

  6. Telescopic sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_sight

    Reticle patterns can be as simple as a round dot, small cross, diamond, chevron and/or circle in the center (in some prism sights and reflex/holographic sights), or a pointed vertical bar in a "T"-like pattern (such as the famous "German #1" reticle used on the Wehrmacht ZF41 sights during the Second World War, or the SVD-pattern reticle used ...

  7. Sight magnifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sight_magnifier

    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.

    A downside to the holographic weapon sight can be the weight and shorter battery life. As with red dot sights, holographic weapon sights have also become common on small arms with versions like the Eotech 512.A65 and similar models fielded by the U.S. Military [9] and various law enforcement agencies.
