improved Red dot with huge triangle reticle insted of small dot, barrels: APEX ,JJ ceramic 16' , JT ,3000 psi nitro, Revolution X2 hopper.
Strengths:
Multiple reticle
Weaknesses:
Sensitive to splatter, practically 33x15, hard to see reticles in a bright day
Review:
Nicely made, nice optic, attractive disign, looks cool.
The key of this red dot that it provides multiple reticles.
Cross, crossed circle, big, small dot.
Becouse it is easier to see them then dot,
they better then dot, but none of them are great.
Unfortunatley in this one it is hard to see them, it is not bright enough.
The other reticle then dot is the way to go,
in military for combat the best is big thick ^ or big triangle.
I made triange in my Daisy Max view.
No more waisting time becouse of loosing dot.
Problem: To make compact design the big brigtness selector was placed bettween red dot LED and lense taht way so lense is used only partially,
up to 1/3 of it useless. As result it is very restrictive in vertical direction. Instead of promised lense characteristic 33x22 it is about 33x15.
Also to make it bit shorter the extra mirror covered with cap with a glass window was added to its construction like kind of periscope design.Too overcomplicated and does not improve brightness. If window is splattered sight become useless and it is possible to clean at home only. That hapened with mine in the first day.
Conclusion:
Several artificial problems with performance were created just to make it look little better .
Check other red dots with multiple reticles, this is hardly applicable in paintball.
Look at something like BSA RMRS or ATN Ultra Sight first.
