Red Dot

Aimpoint is another sight the U.S. military uses today.  These are red dot sights, that are battery powered, and are not magnified.  The Aimpoints not being magnified allows for unlimited eye relief, and the ability to get up on target very fast.  Some of the newer Aimpoint models have a very long battery life that can last up to 80,000 hours.  From being tested in extreme temperatures to the harshness of the battle field, Aimpoints have been proven to be some of the most durable sights on the market.  I have personally only used an Aimpoint just a hand full of times and really liked it.  I think this sight would be highly effective in an urban setting, because of the zero magnification of the sight and the unlimited eye relief.  However magnification attachments are available for Aimpoints to better suit longer range shooting.Aimpoint-Military
