But if the sight wasn't there, you would have been hit anyway, so that argument is negated.

You could say that the sight took a gog shot!

Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

A well trained person who keeps the sighting system directly in front of them will have more shots going on target. In a prepared location, the easier the sight is to use by the operator, the more effective it becomes. In a running gunfight when actual sighting is limited or not used at all, the effectiveness of the sight is negated because the sight is not used at all.

I have non-magnified red dots on my two primary "large" markers: An A-5 and an ICD Bobcat. During my walks in the game the marker is generally in front of my face in a ready position. This is how I was trained. My T8 has glow in the dark paint on the sights and is carried in the same way. I have punched holes through brush with the A-5 to make an elimination. Not all shots were 10X. The paint does not allow that type of accuracy. I do not worry about the paintball with my name on it; I worry about the the one addressed to "General Delivery."

Are sights usefull? Only if you use them.

While I fire from the hip a lot I do use sights. It depends on the situation but sights can be helpful. Sometimes I don't have time to use them but other times when I do I find them very helpful. I did a one shot Landwarrior goggle shot on a guy peeking out from behind a tree once with my old 98C before I traded in for my A5. That thing was set up to shoot anything you aimed at though it's not like my A5. My A5 it's about grouping and demanding respect when I'm getting rat packed. My autococker is still the most accurate thing I have ever owned. It has to be the marker because in no wind it will have the same trajectory give or take 2 inches everytime with an aftermarket 1 piece barrel.

Hi everyone new to the forum. BTW it's Awesome, Back to the matter of the poll, I use a 2x red,green dot sight and works really well, of course not a 100% accurate, but it helps a lot in scenario, and in woods helps to find the snipers.

Haha, I love these never ending topics.

Red dots are the bomb, and can be used just as quick as without if you know what your doing.
The point of a parallax free sight with 0 magnification is for use with both eyes open.
You act as though the sight isn't there at all.
You look past it with both eyes, rather than through it with one.
If you want proof that a red dot is more than just for looks, then watch this P90 vid of a mod I built for Rangerrick.

To the nay sayers,
If anyone wants to argue that you can be just as accurate at 50+ feet like in this vid without the sight, then put your money where your mouth is and post your own vid to prove me wrong about this.
Dont just show me cut scenes either.
I want full clips like this one, where the marker is shot the first time into the target, and then follow up with mutiple burst like in this vid. And into something like this baseball hanging from a rope swinging to.
Do this and I'll take it back.

Great video! No way you could hit those hanging targets first burst without a red dot. As long as your red dot is dialed in for optimum combat range your first shots are potentially deadly!
