AQ planned for years and sent their A team to carry out the attacks, and on Flight 93 they were thwarted by a pick-up team made up of United Frequent Fliers. Many people look at 9/11 and wonder how we can stop an enemy like that. I look at FL93 and wonder, "How can we lose?". -- FromMyColdDeadHand
Thanks for the backup, amigo. The other reason I'm asking is, having not seen any kind of "Eotech 4 N00bs" anywhere on M4C or the rest of the Web, I thought spinning up the discussion might help others down the road too.
Sidenote, if I'd been buying an optic for a "blank sheet" build I would've probably gone with an Aimpoint PRO or one of the various prisms that better accommodate my bad eyes, but I'm specifically trying to replicate how a buddy who was part of the Canadian deployment to Afghanistan set up his rifle over there, which meant E-552.

Eotech are the one thing I've actually watched people have break repeatedly on the AR platform. I would get BUIS, and run with them up, and practice failure drills. Lithium batteries is a good idea to prevent leaking as mentioned.
I never had any trouble with the EoTech I was issued, nor can I remember any of my guys having any trouble. It was actually a well liked optic in my circle. We were already changing batteries pretty frequently on our Aimpoints prophylactically, so we didn’t really notice the battery life issue. Instead, I was pleased that it took the same 123 lithiums as our flashlights and LA-5’s.
I haven’t had any trouble with the AA one I own, either, but I’ll plus one the lithium batteries for lifespan.
