A reticle, or reticule [1] [2] ... holographic weapon sights have also become common on small arms with versions like the Eotech 512.A65 and similar models fielded by ...
Using an LED as a reticle is an innovation that greatly improves the reliability and general usefulness of the sight: there is no need for other optical elements to focus light behind a reticle; the mirror can use a dichroic coating to reflect just the red spectrum, passing through most other light; and the LED itself is solid state and ...
The M145 Machine Gun Optic is a variant of the C79, which is different to the standard version in that ballistic compensation is in the reticle rather than in the mount. Reticle illumination is by a battery-powered LED with eleven brightness settings. It is used by the US military for its M249s and M240s.
Apart from powering on and off the device, this knob controls the brightness of the reticle allowing for the reticle to be visible without outshining the target. The reticle has markings that match targets of various heights from 0.3 m to 2.7 m at distances ranging from 100 m to 970 m. This is similar to the reticle of the 1PN51. [1]
The reticle features a stadiametric rangefinder, ranging out to 400 meters and a single chevron as an aiming point with vertical stadia lines for a windage hold. [ 6 ] The PSO-1M2-1 has also been made in a version for the 7.62×39mm intermediate cartridge, which has the range drum marked for up to 1,000 meters.
