      @@ArielShootsClips not really... the way a red dot's optics works is no matter where in the lens the dot is, it is still going to shoot at where the dot masks. That requires a parabolic reflective surface which a flat peice of plastic isnt, nor is it really feasible to shape it into a parabola. Then you also get into issues of adjustments, which he never built in.
      Edit, spelling

      Wont work that well even in airsoft gun. Reflex red dot sights like this use lens to keep dot on target, even if your viewing angle chances. In this there is only cd case plastic that is not optically suitable/sanded, or bent for that. So no it wont work on anything that requires accuracy when shooting. For prop or decoration this works well.

    This is nice for cosplay, but the point of a Reflex sight is that the reticle visible through the lens is positioned as if it were infinitely far away. That's what makes them useful. The dot in this appears 3 inches in front of the lens. That's not even as far as the end of the barrel. You'll never get any sort of accuracy with a setup like this.

      Short of wiggling it around before the glue dries, you'd have to make it thinner and make a bracket that could be adjusted by turning a vertical and horizontal screw, or turning and tilting the whole thing when you mount it. As for mounting, I could see putting one of these on a home made gun, so I'd drill holes in the actual gun or make a frame that clamps them together. I'd make the thing out of metal instead of plastic though

      Uuugh. This is a (replica) SIGHT not a SCOPE. Parallax is only an issue w/optics that have magnification. Not red-dots, holo's or reflex sights. Just an FYI for any gun owners who want to know more about weapon mounted optics.

  • @lobisw
    @lobisw 7 лет назад

    That's awesome, I wonder how hard it would be to make it into an actual reflex dot sight, ie, keeping the dot on the same point of aim regardless of alignment.

    • @SelfmadeChannel
      @SelfmadeChannel  7 лет назад

      Wont be too easy. But I never even get that paralax talk, because you align line of sight with the gun anyway :p who wants to shoot while aiming from a 30° angle?

    • @lobisw
      @lobisw 7 лет назад

      Selfmade it makes target acquisition easier, but you also have no reference for where your sight alignment has to be if your dot moves. That's pretty significant when you're shooting anything further than across the room.

    • @SelfmadeChannel
      @SelfmadeChannel  7 лет назад

      Would still be too complicated I guess. Doable but way more complicated.

    • @lobisw
      @lobisw 7 лет назад

      Easiest solution would be to put a fixed crosshair, so you know that your sight alignment is correct when the dot is aligned with the crosshairs.

  • @LetoZeth
    @LetoZeth 7 лет назад +1

    problem with these sights is that you have to keep your eye centered with the entire rifle, or your dot wont line up on your target properly and you'll miss. A marking in the glass/plastic to show where the center is would be nice.

    • @LaserGadgets
      @LaserGadgets 7 лет назад

      Who is NOT aiming straight when aiming?

    • @LetoZeth
      @LetoZeth 7 лет назад +1

      There's a reason why red dot sights evolved into reflex sight, where the red dot always stays centered with the gun so you don't have to. You can't be 100% sure that your red dot is aiming where you think it's aiming if you're in a bad situation, your heart is pounding and adrenaline is surging through your body.
      A good reflex sight will ALWAYS stay true, even if your alignment with the gun can't.
      Red dot works on a firing range, not in real life situations.

    I've got this McGuyver thing in my head now. I'm gonna use this design, but bend sheet metal for the frame and use a dollar store pair of reading glasses for the lense. I was thinking of using a plastic revolver cap gun, and just make a wooden copy of the cylinder drilled for .22" short. Then a small pipe can be glued into the Barrell of the cap gun, and I can scratch out rifling with a file.
    Then I'd have the jankiest thing on the planet, but it'd be a semi auto pistol with a reflex sight for under $10.

      But let's test your imagination..
      Lets start with windage..
      How would u engineer the x-axis of the laser to reflect of the glass??
      What would your calculations be for every CM "screw" turn is .______ of rotation is = to .______ MM fixed panel distance. Before you run out of unoccupied area with in the housing. I guess first off let's solve for the complete circumference of the space n which u have to occupy. Then we can get started on the y-axis and beam angles and placement and the right degree of curvature for the lens..
      But hey Im down man.. ill head to home depot and pick up sum wood screws or maybe drywall screws.. yes definitely drywall screws..cuz who ever n there right mind would use fully threaded machined set screws.. I'm so dumb.. I guess I'll just let you keep engineering and designing the products..
      Damn all that college,money and time wasted... idk how I was ever hired to engineer, evaluate dedeuce and design for firearms and firearm intrest companies..
      I guess explain to me how it works so I can improve.. plz??
