\r\n\r\nAimpoint has launched a new line of red-dot sights<\/a> dubbed the ACRO (Advanced Compact Reflex Optic) series.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"186408\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n\r\nThis series was developed after customers started requesting a small enclosed red dot system for handguns, Aimpoint says. The first entry in the ACRO series, the Acro P-1, meets that need. Touted as the smallest and most durable enclosed system currently on the market, the Acro P-1 is a 1X (non-magnifying) parallax-free optic that features a 3.5 MOA red dot for rapid target acquisition. It's fully submersible up to 25 meters and can run continuously for over one year on a single\u00a0CR1225 battery. The dot intensity is adjustable with side push buttons.\r\n\r\nThe Acro P-1 is the only sight in its size category fully tested for shock, vibration, temperature span and other environmental stress, according to the press release. In addition, the optic has been tested with a minimum of 20,000 rounds on a .40 caliber pistol slide, proving it has what it takes to get the job done. Another bonus is that it adds negligible size and weight; it measures 1.9 inches in height and 1.2 inches in width and height, and it tips the scales at 2.1 ounces with the battery included.\r\n\r\nDesigned for direct integration onto pistol slides, the Aimpoint Acro P-1 can also function as a backup for magnifying scopes, personal defense weapons, and \"on any system where a small red dot is applicable,\" Aimpoint claims.\r\n\r\n\"The development of the Acro P-1 sight sets a new standard for compact pistol mounted reflex optics,\" said Aimpoint AB President Lennart Ljungfelt. \"The commitment we make to our customers is to develop the highest performing red-dot sights available.

\r\n\r\nAimpoint has launched a new line of red-dot sights<\/a> dubbed the ACRO (Advanced Compact Reflex Optic) series.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"186408\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n\r\nThis series was developed after customers started requesting a small enclosed red dot system for handguns, Aimpoint says. The first entry in the ACRO series, the Acro P-1, meets that need. Touted as the smallest and most durable enclosed system currently on the market, the Acro P-1 is a 1X (non-magnifying) parallax-free optic that features a 3.5 MOA red dot for rapid target acquisition. It's fully submersible up to 25 meters and can run continuously for over one year on a single\u00a0CR1225 battery. The dot intensity is adjustable with side push buttons.\r\n\r\nThe Acro P-1 is the only sight in its size category fully tested for shock, vibration, temperature span and other environmental stress, according to the press release. In addition, the optic has been tested with a minimum of 20,000 rounds on a .40 caliber pistol slide, proving it has what it takes to get the job done. Another bonus is that it adds negligible size and weight; it measures 1.9 inches in height and 1.2 inches in width and height, and it tips the scales at 2.1 ounces with the battery included.\r\n\r\nDesigned for direct integration onto pistol slides, the Aimpoint Acro P-1 can also function as a backup for magnifying scopes, personal defense weapons, and \"on any system where a small red dot is applicable,\" Aimpoint claims.\r\n\r\n\"The development of the Acro P-1 sight sets a new standard for compact pistol mounted reflex optics,\" said Aimpoint AB President Lennart Ljungfelt. \"The commitment we make to our customers is to develop the highest performing red-dot sights available.

\r\n\r\nAimpoint has launched a new line of red-dot sights<\/a> dubbed the ACRO (Advanced Compact Reflex Optic) series.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"186408\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n\r\nThis series was developed after customers started requesting a small enclosed red dot system for handguns, Aimpoint says.

Aimpoint FCS13RE Fire Control System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The FCS13RE comprises a direct view, Dynamic Universal Reflex Sight (DURS). It utilizes an integrated laser range finder and ballistic computer. Together, they give the gunner an aiming point corrected for range, type of ammo, terrain angle and environmental conditions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fire control system also works on other weapons, including the AT4, Mk19 40mm high velocity grenade launchers, M2 .50 caliber heavy machine gun and M134D Minigun. The FCS13RE provides an extremely high probability of first-round hits on both stationary and moving targets, day or night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The system accepts a magnifier or thermal imager. It also accepts all generations of military night vision. For more information on the FCS13RE, please visit aimpoint.com<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\r\n\r\nMeprolight recently introduced app support and integration for its Foresight electro-optic<\/a> line. The technical upgrade provides the Foresight the ability to save weapon profiles, zero data and more.\r\n\r\n[in_content post=\"203745\" alignment=\"align-left\" \/]\r\n
Meprolight Foresight Details<\/h2>\r\nMeprolight infused the sight with the latest optic technology, offering a heads-up display. It provides key operation data and allows shooter to easily zero and store up to ten zeroing profiles for ten different guns. This includes loadouts, regardless of caliber, according to Meprolight.\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Foresight leverages our decades of battleground-proven experience and gives shooters an easy-to-use optic to enhance their shooting experience,\u201d said Bill Yerby, General Manager and VP of Sales and Marketing for Meprolight USA. \u201cIt\u2019s a great addition to our portfolio as we continue to expand our world-renowned innovation to US civilians.\u201d\r\n\r\nAdditionally, the optic features a large selection of recticles. Meanwhile, the window displays battery life, a digital compass, sight leveler and brightness adjustment. It has a rechargeable battery via USB-C and a Bluetooth interface for the Meprolight mobile app. The app comes in both iOS and Android.\r\n\r\n
<\/a>\r\n\r\n\u201cThe Foresight mounts to a Picatinny rail,\u201d said Yerby. \u201cThe sight can be removed and exchanged between firearms without having to re-zero. It\u2019s really that easy. It acts like the HUD as seen in popular first-or-third person video game shooters.\u201d\r\n\r\nMeprolight says additional features are forthcoming through free software updates. Updates will include a shot counter display, tracking number of rounds fired, as well as rounds remaining in a pre-defined magazine. A future pairing with the Double Shoot app will enable the optic to be automatically zeroed after shooting specific paper targets.\r\n\r\nIt's a pretty slick optic.
