Which is the better Aimpoint Device?

Different kinds of Aimpoint devices for different weapons

As stated, some weapons need some special aiming devices mounted on the weapon itself to increase its accuracy, and this is important for law enforcement agencies, because their job is to protect lives, and keeping people out of danger in a dangerous situation. Here are some examples of aiming devices that corresponds with a weapon type.

·         Long range scope – built for sniper rifles. This is often used by Special Weapons And Tactics group who are deployed in special occasions. Most of the time in situations that an ordinary police officer are not able to handle by themselves all because they only have a handgun or a rifle that may not be as accurate as a scoped one because the target is in hiding or too far away. Scopes increase the accuracy of a rifle by giving the operative the exact location of where the projectile will hit a target. There are scopes that can be adjusted according to situations such as high winds, elevations and even distance.

·       Red dot sights – this may act as sniper scopes as well, but in closer proximity of the operative, but where this equipment shines is in close quarter combat situation where the operative can still have the accuracy even when their weapons are in full automatic setting. These devices are usually mounted on automatic assault rifles, some sub machine guns and even full on heavy machine guns used by the military.

·         Laser sight mounts – these are the ones that are mounted on pistols or handguns, and the aiming is pretty basic, because it will project a beam as to where the projectile will land. This is helpful in close proximity combat where automatic weapons aren’t necessary and only single shot handguns are the best way to handle the situation.
