I used Eotech for 21 years in the US Border Patrol. Its the best choice. From running up mountains at night to jumping off helicopters. The Eotechs are tough and hold zero no matter what. Im now retired and just got an EXPS2. ,... memories. Its so sweet
Can confirm. Trijicon ACOG also works well. Some like Aimpoint -- although they're great devices overall -- don't look as sharp to those with distorted vision.
IMHO, Rob O'Neil is a patriot and a real live American hero. Good on you 'Shipmate'. And, he's a perfect spokesman for EOTech. I just recently purchased my 2nd EOTech product, an EXPS 2-0. I sold my old L3 553.A65. It still worked just fine, but I wanted something that didn't take so much space on the rail and newer technology. I like the product.
I wouldn't, this dude put himself over his team. It was a team effort that made that kill, not him. Individuals don't make missions successful, teams do. It was chicken shit for him to do what he did.
Love and trust my EOTECH and appreciate them even more now that I've seen how its all put together. This was the best "how its made" style video I've seen. Thanks for making this!
For home defense, does one need a holographic sight to engage in those types of distances? I just have irons on mine for lightness and speed. No need to press buttons when the moment of truth happens.
@@ruthlessmofo You don't "need" it, but it definitely helps! And one of the beautiful things about the large window on an EOTech is that you can use your irons (front and rear) without having to turn on the optic should you need it in a hurry! With the optic on, I get a lower 1/3 co-witness with my irons. With the optic off, I can still use my front and rear irons perfectly!
@@ruthlessmofo what? An Eotech is a 1x sight.. it’s better than irons because it’s faster for target acquisition. Not only that but you can even run irons and an Eotech at the same time for co witness. This is one of the best for home defense and close quarters engagements.
I would like to see what they do with a modernized version of their HWS. I personally think with some tweaking and different components, they could extend the battery life and make the sight smaller and even more rugged. I'm not an engineer but it sounds good.
I bought one and ill except nothing less now.. totally worth every penny. Instantly turned me into an optic snob. Edit: We want an enclosed emitter pistol dot!!! Even if its not holographic yet! Please!
I bought my first eotech back in 2005, used it for a decade, then sold it and played around with red dots like aim point and Trijicon. They never came close. Switched back and have never looked back.
I know battery life is a bit of an issue for eotech. I wonder if they are working on a solar type set up. That would be interesting to see. Still a quality product 👌
Yeah it's a shame isn't it? Gotta make sure you are operator ready at a moment's notice for at least 5 continuous years. Who knows what could happen during the day. The Jehovah's Witness could come knocking while you're busy watching American Sniper and eating fried oysters. But is it the Jehovah's Witness or could it be a Russian sleeper agent? Let alone what could happen at night. You could be awakened at 2AM by the dog accidentally turning on the TV. But who's to say it was the dog? 🤨 Stay safe out there and always be ready for anything.
I didn't think Eotech was a big deal. I even laughed at my buddy who swore by it and bought nothing but Eotech. And then I bought one. ...Two weeks later, I bought another two. Yeah. Think I've said enough.
Leaving price out of the picture, I still prefer the Eotech over the Aimpoint or Trijicon for home defense. And the Eotech is the cheapest of the three. These are all excellent sights and imo are all best for slightly different situations, but most people are probably going to be happiest with Eotech. I have one that's been running since 2003, is still in great shape and illuminates as well as it did when it was new. It's also no contest between the Eotech and Holosun, just get the Eotech and enjoy having a great sight.
Or... buy a uh1 and have an optic you can actually trust. I have both, eotech is a distant second. Uh1 shits all over this thing. The thermal drift tester they have.. you know WHY?? cuz they fucking got soldiers killed lying about thermal drift. Ive seen far too many eotechs fail sitting in a fucking safe to EVER trust em. Ill keep the 3 i have. But buying more.uh1s moving forward.
thank for this video Eotech, had no idea how much went into each one, I like paying under 500 for an Eotech preferably around 400 if possible. Definitely worth the money and thats why we have x3 and x2 magnifiers. lives depend on these! any recommendations on trading out a G33 for a g43//G45
It’s auto off after either 4 or 8 hours depending on which button you pushed last. 1000 hours is fine for battery life for an optic as advanced as these. A laser requires more energy than an LED (which is what’s used in a red dot) and that’s why the difference. 9000 hours in a year so you could power one for an entire year straight if you have a sopmod style stock with the battery compartment and fill it up and include the one in the optic. People get too caught up in battery life. If you are worried about bump in the night and the auto shut off, just press the UP button before bed and it will last until just before you wake up if you sleep 9 hours like me.
@@alexkyte4093 yes, it sucks. Thats my point. Its an inconvience compared to red dots that last years on a battery. Also depending if you use it on a home defense weapon.. the last thing you want is an inconvience. Im paying top dollar for it. I expect top quality.
@@seraph1926 looks are only part of the battle gotta be able to see what your shootin at lol. Look into any kind of LVPO Otics. Look at your options. Also.... they can get a bit on the heavy side depending what you go with so if possible find 2 or 3 you think you like then look at specs. Wieght, and other things.
There was several reasons why i went with EOTech. One of the important factors for me is that it is made in the United States and about 20 miles from my house here in Michigan compared to other brands i was looking at which were made in China. I will always buy American over orher brands if I can and i try to stay away from made in China as much as i can.
Cool story. Coulda bought a uh1 and gotten a better optic, better warranty, and better company. I have both, i know which ill buy more of (its not eofail)
This seems way more complicated than the aimpoint assembly video. I just don't understand how can a regular red dot garner 800 plus US dollars. Eotech for the win.
Aimpoint's cost is really in their circuitry research, to be able to power it on for so long without a heavily tinted objective lens. However, China has since ripped off Aimpoint's technology.
Fault in nitrogen leak, laminating glass, loss of brightness due to tarnishing of the interior mirror, therefore to be leaked and after-sales service for France, lamentable
Reading is not Robs strong point, ;( Well if you are a Devgru operator, I’ll Let it slide, lol. If he didn’t say he killed Bin Laden he would Never be making this video and I am sure his team guys, especially the members that went on that mission aren’t too happy with Rob for cashing in on that achievement that would of never happened had he not had the rest of the team with him.
Looking back on it all, it’s a giant Bill Burr joke that New York was attacked and a ginger got to get the get back on the back end, cause he’s soulless…made fun of…idk it’s just fun t

EOTECH is truly the best there is hands down and MICHIGAN made. I love all mine.
Good and interesting video. Thank you!
I got my first EOTECH Exps3 for my first AR-15 right now.
Cheers from Finland 🇫🇮
I was really on the fence about buying one until watching what goes through for each 1 made I'm sold
You should also explain that the holographic sight is great for astigmatisms compared to competitors using red dots
Can confirm. Trijicon ACOG also works well. Some like Aimpoint -- although they're great devices overall -- don't look as sharp to those with distorted vision.
That's why I want one, but I'm a poor and have to save for it 😂

I'm truly thankful that Eotech is right in my back yard. Love the products. I'm waiting patiently for the Eotech Eflx mini.
Holy Crap!
Excellent informative video!
Rob kicks ass!
And…thank you Eotech 🤘🏻🔥🇺🇸💯
Love my EOTECH. Trust it with my life and the life of my fellow officers.
Same, I run EOTech & the G33 with unity mounts on my patrol rifle. Excellent combo. Also just took a deer with it today.
Awesome video thanks for sharing
Thanks Robert, now I’m getting one.
I’ll take that dudes endorsement

That is some phenomenal QC testing. 100% unit checks are even more impressive. Most manufacturing industries are 10-25%.
They kinda have to after they, ya know, got soldiers killed due to KNOWINGLY lying about the defective items
Thanks eotech for some great products.
EOTech my fav optic by far.
Eotech remains my go to red dot. My 11.5 Virtus + EXPS3-0 is probably my favorite setup.
I just got xps2-0 and exps2-0 combo green, so far I love it
I’ve got a 512, EXPS2, EXPS3, and my EFLX just got delivered today. EOTECH is the way.
no way they got the GOAT to do an ad for them
Good ole NSRO doing the tour for us!!!
I love EOTech. I have an EXPS3-0 on my home defense rifle right now!

Eotech or holosun shake awake and 50k battery life for home defense.. just hope you don't press the NV button when SHFT.

Absolute must for far sighted shooters
Saving up to purchase one .
Good video 😀

Great video! Would any of these models work on a CVA Accura muzzleloader? It’s a modern muzzleloader.

Thank you for the support!
@@eotechinc I had a 511 and it was the best sight I ever had .I also had a L3 MRDS and liked it also.
Will you be offering a cross slot mount for your new micro pistol sight? Considering it for a new model 41 performance center.
Love mine.
Super fucking cool. Super proud of this.
I'm all the way eotech. But I'd like to hear the shop banter.
Where does the glass come from? I absolutely love my Eotech’s btw!!
I see Ron was a Redman. Those feathers tell a story
I’m sold.
I now care slightly less about the cost. Lol I love EOtech, best of the best!
I love eotech, eotech super!!!
Are the aluminum hoods extruded or formed?
The eotech is unquestionably the very best close range sight available.
Fuck no its not
@@jamesstephenson2346what would you pick?
@@jamesstephenson2346 I like your reasoning.
@@jamesstephenson2346yes it literally is
I have them all
I know battery life is a bit of an issue for eotech. I wonder if they are working on a solar type set up. That would be interesting to see. Still a quality product 👌
My concern is if a solar product would be able to survive their strenuous testing procedures
I’ve had mine for over 3 years and changed the battery once.
@@Joe-gu2eo Which one do you have? And how often is it on? Just asking because that’s amazing and I want one lol
I last changed my battery 18 months ago. And I use it weekly.
@@Joe-gu2eo do you use it all?
Annndddd 4-6 days an EXPS2 will be on my doorstep.
"Aways on top of the good guys gun" is debatable
Love mine. I got EOTech and Aimpoint Pro and SIG Tango MSR on three of my rifles. Just need an EoTech magnifier and an ACOG
I like this optic, but why the fuzzy recticle?
Exps2 in OD green?
LED acogs and Eotech / magnifiers
Do the buttons on the Eotech have an audible click when pressed or are they supposed to be almost silent?
Silent.
I live 5 miles from eotech and had no idea. The eotech 512 can be had for $385 out the door at PSA or i should say it was 3 days ago.
Just grabbed one myself, $380.00!
Just got one today $349 before tax n shipping
Sorry forgot to mention got it from PSA
I love my XPS2-0
Can you use the magnifier with with a 1 dot reticle?
Yes.
I love eotech.. just not the battery life
A battery every 6 months, boy howdy that's 6$ a year

Best Parallax shift in the industry 👌
Why are my videos late! Anyway, I feel much closer to my XPS2 now. Semper Fi.
Can you see the reticule clearly in bright sunlight? I mean on a sunny day is it clearly visible?
No worries there at all. I've used mine in bright sunlight and snow and never had to turn the brightness up all the way.
It gets really bright. You'll have no problem seeing your reticle in a sunny day.
can i buy that jacket rob is wearing?
As a former navy seal are you not interested in a riser?
I’m sure Holosun puts all that care and precision into their products 😂😂 eotech are worth every single penny!!!
Yeah well I guess I know what reflex sights I am switching all my firearms to!!!!! IMPRESSIVE!!!!!!!!
We need a 2x zoom EOTECH INNOVATE INNOVATE INNOVATE!!
I didn't think Eotech was a big deal. I even laughed at my buddy who swore by it and bought nothing but Eotech.

Eotech needs to make a new design with solar, shake awake, and be a Micro!
Dang seems like a bargain when you see all the tech that goes into it !
WOLVERINES !!!!
Can you make it auto on off
Made in American, love my exps-03 let’s go Brandon
Albeit the thermal drift issue they had couple years back, they’re still my go to optic.
@@Anthony4949 totally agree, that’s why I just bought another one
Now if they could update their design for better battery life
battery life?? realistically or based on days? I mean 1000 hours seems like less then a year
