dditionally, the holographic reticle is perceived by the
shooter to be projected at the target, allowing focus
on both the target and the reticle, whereas a red dot
forces the user to shift focus back-and-forth from
near to far - reticle to target. Holography also allows EOTECH to
develop all types of reticle options including multi-dot ballistic
solutions, stadia and ranging reticles, and solutions specific to
unique platforms like less lethal or grenade launchers.
HWS models feature more brightness settings than most red
dots to better adapt to all lighting situations and some models
offer brightness levels compatible with night vision. All units are
powered by commonly found AA or CR123 batteries and include
a battery check indicator and a user-controlled auto-shutdown of
four or eight hours to ensure power won't be wasted.
Lastly, the HWS is built like a tank. Its integrated mounting base
eliminates the need for rings, spacers, and screws that all have
the potential to fail. The optics housing is protected by a rugge-
dized, aluminum hood, capable of withstanding the harsh condi-
tions of battle. In fact, the HWS glass can be shattered or covered
in mud, snow or rain and still function reliably and maintain zero.
