Agreed, I bought a 512 like 10 years ago and often shoot at my brothers house who lives in the mountains so we would go from like shooting in like 15 degree weather right to a warm house like 75 degrees and never had a problem or change in POI that didn't come with taking it off and on.

You do realize aimpoints have worse thermal drift than holosuns?
>>
>>34943462
Yeah go put in your citation for that first you dumb piece of shit

Thermal drift is a factor to consider for pretty much all optics

We can throw out thermal drift from our considerations and the eokek is still trash- yeah have fun with that shitty battery life and poor quality control from L3 dipshit

Thermal drift or not, i dont have a broken aimpoint and even if i did, they wouldn't charge me just to repair their own manufacturing defects

You're a fucking retard
>>
>>34943894
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKlJX5wCwL4

It's funny because even though it's a shitty test, both EOTech and Trijicon have released their own testing data for thermal drift but interestingly Aimpoint has not. I also live in Las Vegas and store my EOTech in a garage that goes from freezing to 120+ degrees and I have never had to re zero my optic for thermal drift for the 3 years I've been living here.

I have had an EOTech with a moisture incursion issue that had the reticle fade. EOTech fixed it for free - and this was before it was "publicly known" with the SOCOM lawsuit, even though there was a low key thread about it on arfcom (where everyone else with the same issue also had theirs fixed for free) that nobody paid much attention to. They started fixing these after the same reported 2014 update for sealing their optics.

Secondly, I've had an Aimpoint comp m4 battery compartment break on me just from everyday handling. That's not counting all the other people who've had brightness knobs snapping off, mounts loosening/optics shifting and losing zero.

Would this mean that both companies have utter failures of QC and optic design? It would be nonsensical since the Comp M4 is just as quality of a red dot as the EOTech is.

>shitty battery life
You can go shooting once a weekend for 8 hours a day and still have 3 years worth of battery use with a 512.

eotech is now more in line with other weapons on thermal drift (1.5 moa instead of 5), and is still better than most reddots on parallax shift, which is a thing even on reddots. I'll stick with a t1 because i have a t1, but i wouldn't say no to an eotech.

Funny how you think that you're bringing talking points but you're comparing two products.

>>34945533
Because using a holographic laser is better suited for magnification, passive NVG aiming, and parallax correction than a collimated LED enables a larger window for larger viewing angles when encountering poor cheek weld. Also a bonus is orders of magnitude less forward light signature if you're super spoopy black ops.

A collimated LED is better for staying on longer.

keep grasping at the straws you piece of shit, SOCOM's spokesperson Allen already said that EOTech is not fulfilling any new contracts with the military’s Special Operations forces.

So if you're fanboi-ing over SOCOM's equipment, why don't you follow suit and toss your eokek trash in the bin?

Oh wait, you were just using SOCOM for confirmation bias you DUMBASS.

>SOCOM proceeds to keep using them in warzones

Also
>According to Allen, SOCOM is evaluating other sights, including a potentially improved version of the EOTech for a long-term replacement for SOCOM’s close-combat sight requirements. Semelroth said the Marine Corps is conducting a similar search and running “a series of tests on its EOTech inventory to confirm performance meets or exceeds the equipment requirement.”

Because Keymod didn't include an appropriate amount of material between the key slots to ensure if you smash something it won't break. Look up the Socom tests, it was pretty upsetting.

Good for me though because I hate how Keymod looks

>but all optics have thermal drift!!!

This thread is full of ignorance. Eotech wasnt singled out just for simple thermal drift, which is just a matter-of-fact with rapidly changing environmental conditions.

Eotech has an unreapeatable POI shift which doesn't return zero and compounds over time

Face the facts- eotech is not appropriate for military use compared to the offerings given by aimpoint and trijicon

They have been fixing optics with those issues for years. When the blogosphere blew up over the socom announcement, L3 did the best they could hope to do and offer unconditional refunds, so as to not make things even worse for themselves (see Sig and the "voluntary upgrade" backlash)

Do you even have two braincells to rub together? They've already called for replacements and hasnt granted eotech any new contracts. The inventory is getting replaced whether you like it or not

This line never not makes me laugh. They're issued what the higher ups and procurement want, and it's looking like the next round of acquisitions is going to be completely devoid of Eotech optics.
>>
>>34946792
Look at how the hyper-reactionary gun community has reacted to Sig claiming the 320 is technically drop-safe and offering an "upgrade" instead of issuing a "recall." Complete hystrionics over semantics.

Perhaps the labor and parts involved in repair outweighed the refund? Perhaps they didn't have the logistics to even be able to do a massive recall/repair program? I don't know and I don't need to know; what I do know is you can search Google and see people were getting their HWS fixed by Eotech as standard warranty service prior to the SOCOM fiasco.

Unless I'm mistaken I believe 2/75 and maybe 1/75 is looking at replacing their EOTech's with the Aimpoint T-2 as an interim until a final replacement is found.

You are saying that in this utterly massive company selling an absurdly wide range of products from Airport security devices to commercial avionics to night vision and all this stuff

And this is small to you? LOLOL Actually fucking retarded dude
>>
>>34947726

revenue is not the same as net income.

What do you suppose the net income of eokek is after this refund fiasco?

hahhaah uneducated turd calls everything moving the "goal post" after he does the same

revenue was being used as a indication of size, and i did not use conservative numbers because we know how much of a little faggot you are over semantics.

That $300 million revenue figure is a rounding from $220 million, and represent's eokek on its hayday

they definitely aren't making anywhere near that with the lawsuits and dropping of contracts, and because revenue doesn't account for costs, EOkek is certainly making negative net income for many years.

So I prove that eokek is just a tiny entity that does not represent anywhere near the vast majority of L3's business holdings and you call this goal post moving?

LMFAO nice to see mommy lets the retard smash the keyboard once in a while

I'm not about to shift through years of financial statements on L3's website just for an internet argument. You can do that yourself, and if you can't connect two dots, i could care less

The fact is that a total refund on all of your sold products, at full MSRP, will leave you with a bleeding bank account and a ton of used inventory that you will have to destroy

On top of that are the lost lawsuits as well as the large civilian/LEO market. It's obviously bad but I'm not about to measure the impact on financial statements. You can call L3 if you want to be the internet warrior of the day.

I know that. What I'm saying is that a company is as successful as it is valued. It's what people are willing to pay for a share. A lot of that translates with net revenue but in many cases like Amazon's it does not. In EOTech's case it's part of a parent company that can value it for reasons other than just simply making revenue, such as a other Government contracts, etc that do not translate immediately just from revenue.
