  • Found this fake EOTech on eBay for only $35, I knew we had to review it and compare it to a real $400 EOTech.
    Surprisingly, they are actually pretty similar.

    I like the green! I find my eye gets pulled to green better - green reticles, green lasers, etc. The only problem is the green is usually very expensive with 'mil-spec' optics. I had to settle for the $400 red-reticle EOTech because the same model with green was an extra $170 bucks! Could have bought five green ChinaTech optics for the price difference between red and green.

    • @daviddavidson2357
      @daviddavidson2357 2 года назад +2

      The difference between the fake and real ones has more to do with just the color.
      The real ones shine a laser through a special holographic grate which projects a holographic reticle which is made up of hundreds if not thousands of individual dots.
      The fake uses an LED to project the reticle onto a mirror, so it's a red dot but with the eotech style reticle.
      As the dot needs to be projected onto a mirror the fake ones basically look like you're looking through tinted glass. Much more heavily tinted compared to a cheap ($5) open red dot sight. I've also noticed severe reflection if I'm back-lit (ie back towards the sun) so instead of seeing through the sight I'll see the reticle and my forehead.
      As for a green eotech, that requires a green laser which is much more complex to make than a red laser. A green laser is started by an infrared laser and can't be dimmed as easily (for the NV function on the eotech) so the laser in the green eotech will either need two lasers for the NV mode or a way to power the IR laser and run it through the green laser part of the diode with no distortion.
      I got the fake for my crossbow as I'm not about to spend hundreds on a sight that I can't even legally use for bowhunting here. If bowhunting was legal I'd pay the extra money for the real eotech if I wanted to hunt at super short ranges. Though I'd probably get a prismatic sight as I've got astigmatism and would want something with magnification for ethical kills.

      I would suggest checking out the holosun 507c tho. About half the price.
      The circle hashes and dot gets me personally on target way faster than just a dot. Plus with the eotech there is virtually no parallax shift at point of impact when compared to other optics. At 100 yards the eotech has a 1.5moa shift while the the best aimpoint has a 10.5moa shift.
      The eotech is the best sight on the market and I've ran them all. If I had to choose another one ot would be the holosun 507c

    Buddy of mine had the chineseium version on his 22LR AR and it worked fine for range plinking. We put it on a 556 and the recoil turned it off every shot. We finally figured out that the batteries would "bounce" and break the circuit every time forcing you to have to turn it back on for every second shot. But in it's defense it was $30 and was functional on a 22LR with no recoil. And it did look cool:)

      yep, my 553 has the NV mode, though to be honest I have never tried it (I may do that after I type this as I have the rifle out and nv handyish lol...). Now, I don't use it on my airsoft gun, just my real AR15, but for my airsoft gun I went ahead and got a Holosun red dot. It's a real sight so it will handle anything both my GBBR and Krytac. I do have a knock off eotech and the issue with it is really is outside light. If it's dark, then the fake eotech works fine, though if it's a sunny day, the fake eotech vs the real one is miles difference in visibility and useability.
      Edit: also if I could find a eotech clone that worked well outdoors in the sunlight, I would definitely switch to it for my main airsoft sight to keep fermilibility with my real rifle.

    a big one is that if you have eye issues, the holo wont blur as much as a normal dot will. its the main reason i always go holo over dot. most dots look like a better deal but for my personal use eotech is perfect

    Great video! I will say I bought and tested a clone very similar to that one and shot over 500 rounds through it and it worked fine, held zero the entire time. I think they're fine for range time or civilian use but would never depend on it to protect my life. I've never dropped it to see what would happen mainly because it probably would break. Also, moisture and extreme temperature long term probably would destroy it too. I'd say its fine for range use even on 30 cal. I tested mine on 300blk and it still works after 500+ rounds. I paid $65 for the one I have but still chinesium! Lol

    You forgot to mention the knockoff has a mirrored rear glass which makes it garbage to see through in bright conditions, you wind up just seeing your own face reflecting back at you, and in low light the tint makes it hard to see through. I say this as I own one myself and its sitting collecting dust. If I could remove the mirror coating.on the rear lense it'd be a much better sight.

      That may just be possible to remove the mirror finish. If the lens is plastic(polycarbonate lens) you can get glass etching liquid at just about any craft store. I have used it to remove the anti-glare coating on glasses a few times after it became too scratched up. However, if it is not a coating on a PC lens and it is just glare on glass the process will render the lens to milk glass. But you're not using it anyway, right? If you can't use it the way it is, what's the harm in wrecking it so it is more unusable? If you try it and it works, let us know. I have a .22 cal pellet rifle and this sounds like a good option for use on that.

  • @daviddavidson2357
    @daviddavidson2357 2 года назад

    One thing to note is that the Eotech sight is a real holographic sight in that it uses holography to project the reticle onto the target plane using lasers and a holographic grating.
    The replica sights are just red dot sights in an eotech style housing. You can even see this on the video, the eotech sight appears to have the reticle painted onto the target whereas you can see that the reticle on the replica is still inside the sight.
    Whether or not that difference is worth 400 bucks is up to you. Holo sights tend to work better with people who suffer from astigmatism, however the best sights for astigmatism are prismatic sights. You can get magnification on prismatic sights too.

    Even were I to buy and use the $400 scope as primary, for $35 I'd buy and keep the alternate as a backup. Not going to screw-up a hunt or waste a trip to the range and any travel time/costs because I don't have a familiar model of scope handy. I've done this in a number of disciplines where the cost of spending a tiny bit extra to have a critical part on hand can make a huge difference.
    *Example* I keep an emergency prop on my boat. It's only a cheap $45 aluminum prop but the time it has saved me and friends has been considerable...and the rescued vacations and relationships, too.

      Chinese red dots and scopes actually do really well on actual firearms. The only thing they don't replicate well is battery consumption. However, for my purposes I sold my aimpoint a decade ago and bought like 20 chinese red dots and scopes. I've used them on everything from LR308/12 guage shotguns to airsoft GBB. They all still work to this day. Go on Ebay and you can pick up a red dot for only $13-20. Strongly suggest trying it out, you will be pleased. I suggest either the sightmark "reflex" style sights which work a lot like the C-more, or a doctor style micro red dot. Both take coin cell batteries.
      There is also a 1.5-4x30mm scope with a chevron or horseshoe reticle which I absolutely love. You can dial it down to basically 1x magnfication and use it as a passive red dot or zoom it up to 4x to work like an ACOG. You can mount a micro red dot on top to work well when using gas masks or when you want fast transition from 1 to 4x. The biggest downside is that the scope is a lot heavier than an ACOG, the reticle is far too fine to rangefind except in bright light (the illumination on reticle doesn't work well at all) and it is second focal plane. However the turrets can be slipped and locked. Only $60.

    • @DaveSmith-cp5kj
      @DaveSmith-cp5kj 5 лет назад +1

      Which one failed?
      I've tested the 1.5-4x30mm, 3-22x40mm and 50mm, ACOG 4x32 fiber optic, and the 3-9x40mm. I've only had one issue on one 50mm where the reticle rotated 10 degrees to the right but that happened on the first shot with a GBBR airsoft gun (Tippmann M4 with heavy bolt) so I just chalked it ups as a fluke.
      Other more expensive but good quality options are UTG which I think is made in Taiwan but some have said some of their products are now made in the US. I have their 3-22x50mm that survived 20 shots on a 50BMG. It didn't break but any more would have been a waste of ammo since I want FFP and a MOA grid when shooting more expensive ammo.
      Which reminds me that the reticles on chinese scopes suck. That is the single factor that makes them something I would only use for recreational use. The turret tracking is fine but you have to develop new holdovers since the graduations on the rangefinders and "mil dots" are super inconsistent.

    As far as Aimpoints go, you can get their PRO model for just over $400. It's the most affordable red-dot Aimpoint makes. But, you're not getting a dumbed-down, cheap, crap quality materials optic that has the "Aimpoint" name slapped on it. At that price, you even get a good mount included. No need to buy a quality mount separately. The PRO is also one of those optics that is literally battle-proven. Plenty of American soldiers have used the PRO. It's also a favorite of quite a few U.S. police departments.

    As someone who has been in shoot outs as a civilian i can tell you all you're not going fire near that many rounds and you arent going drop your rifle repeatedly. The optic wont randomly fly off your gun or male you shoot babies instead. If youre a serious shooter buy better optics, if you shoot maybe once a month or just have a gun for home defense a cheap optic is fine as long as it holds zero.

      I have a $30 red dot from Walmart on my CZ Scorpion Evo and I've had no issues. Battery life may last a few months but, ok. 9 bucks for a pack of 2.

      Please no. I would never ever bet my life on chinesium. Home defense weapons need to be RELIABLE along with the equipment/gear also being reliable. For plinking, it's fine, but at critical moments you wouldnt want something that might have a chance at crapping out during critical moments. I'm not saying to spend 400 dollars on an optic, but you should atleast grab something that's branded - vortex and holosun have good $100 dollar options with shake awake feature (which is nice). Same goes for flashlights, mags, and ammo.

      You haven't been in shootouts as a civilian. Your opinion is worth less than your $30 Amazon optic. Go back to your Mall Tactical Response Squad, Gecko45. LOL!

      With a red dot, or reflex sight, you have a low power LED that produces the reticle, while a holographic sight uses a more powerful laser that bounces around to produce the holographic image of the reticle. The biggest impact of this difference is the duration of the battery life for the sight.

      @@raymond7395 Essentially what it comes down to is red dots are officially a separate type from holographic sights, but both are within the reflex sight category.
      The actual biggest difference is that holographic sights project the reticle into the distance, whereas red dots don't. Also the real Eotech (not the knockoff) has minimum glare and glint as opposed to the red dots. There are other significant differences as well.
