in ever single vidya game their in, it sucks. some reason you get more felt recoil than rds.

I rather liked them in ARMA 2 dayz. Never actually had my hands on one in the real life though. Too much money.

They're pretty alright. The reticle is smaller than you'd think it would be.
>>
>>29591733
They work well on DMRs in BF3/4. I know what you mean though, can't stand them on anything else. As for real life, yes but you use a gun much differently in real life than you do in a video game.
>>
>>29591733

Irl, on an M4/AR, using that *Biden aiming, is like having an Eotech of close engaments and a 3-3.5x mid range optic.

Two in one, can an Eotech do as much? Scopes Can but at some point the mag difference will confuse you're eyes more than help. Repetition, naturally.

I put one on my main rifle. Will, essentially, last me my whole life. That's what makes them so great, great ability And maxed durability. SHTF optic?

>tfw can't find a pre-2010 ACOG that still has scripture reference

Those things will probably end up being collectible some day.

>>29591799
Ouch anon, don't cut yourself on that edge. I'm sure Jesus or whoever will still love you.
>>
>>29591733
Yes, they're great.
>>
>>29591799
They are all over eBay breh and can be had reasonably cheap.
>>
They are much better in real life.
The army marksmanship team used to beat the USMC half the time but since the marines got ACOGs, the USMC have beaten them every time.

>>29591876

Hahahah, aw.....

>>29591812
That wasn't even remotely edgy

>>29591754
Is that your rifle? How do you like it being mounted up there?
>>
>>29591812
What?

Holy shit this is why I stopped coming to /k/...the noguns are showing themselves in this post.

yeah, a bit

Honestly I would be immeasurably better off if I had never played a video game.

>>29591799
All commercial models have the scripture. My ACOG has it and they weren't released until 2013.

>>29591754
holy shit an A2, are you NG or something?

This is an 18+ origami board. Underage go.

That height over bore.

Wh ... What?

Functionally, the ACOG is identical to a red dot at close distances. Your brain only switches to the magnified image when it's needed. You can literally muzzle the wall and see a nonmagnified illuminated crosshair appear. People who bitch about target acquisition don't have ACOGs or don't know how to keep both eyes open.
>>
>>29591799
The new ones still have the scripture reference just not on the model name. Not going to have the value but kind of cool in the same way a Roman shield with a Mars reference on it would be. Also watching people get shittershattered by/overly defensive is still pretty funny..

>>29593580
Not him but I have a ta31 on a a1 fixed carry handle. It probably isn't optimal for 3-gun and if you are the type to have a perfected cheekwield within 1 nanometer every time you won't like it. It's chinwield at best, nothingwield if you aren't a big guy or don't buy a riser.

I like it because I have an irrational favor for high mounted optics. Having robust, well practiced with, and easily accessible irons in addition to the optic is nice too. Its not the best place to mount it, but if someone couldn't make it work to some degree they should consider getting good.
>>
>>29594245
I have a 20" gun with an A1 upper coming, and I was considering putting a TA33 (3x model) on it, or using my Vortex 1-4; either-or.
I've peered through a 2 power ACOG mounted to a removable carry handle at a funstore and it seemed perfect for me.
>chinweld at best, nothing if you aren't a big guy
Luckily I'm 6'3" with ape arms and a big head.
Any pics of your stick? I love seeing carry handle optics.
>>
>>29591733

That's because video games and retarded and actually change your FoV on magnified optics.

Lower FoV = higher mouse sensitivity
>>
>>29594377
>Any pics

None, I'll take some at later on today and shit up the ar general or a thread like this with them at some point in the future though.

The TA33 sounds like a good choice. Never looked through one but the eye relief sounds nice. Like the best of a red dot with a bit of magnification when you need it.
