Aimpoint compM & ML models explained.

[Boom]

There have been four verisons of Aimpoints released in the last 10 years that the military uses for combat units. I will explain the models from the oldest to the newest.

Late 80 to early 90s.
compM: 3MOA dot, two piece body, 100 hour battery life. Night vision model.
compML: 3MOA dot, two piece body, 100 hour battery life. Non NV model.

Mid 90s.
compM-XD: 3MOA dot, two piece body, 1000 hr battery life. Night vision model.
compML-XD: 3MOA dot, two piece body, 1000 hr battery life. Non NV model.


Notice the word comp has been dropped from the name.

Late 90s to 2004.
M2: 4MOA dot, one piece body, 10,000 hr battery life. Night vision model.
ML2: 4MOA dot, one piece body, 10,000 hr battery life. Non NV model.

Current production.
M3: 2 or 4MOA dot, one piece body, 50,000 hr battery life. Night vision model.
ML3: 2 or 4MOA dot, one piece body, 50,000 hr battery life. Non NV model.

All the above models are water proof to 66 feet IIRC. Some of the early models may not be. It's been a long time since I looked at the depth issue.

I hope this helps explain the differences in the units.

Thanks, that pretty much summed it up.
