Who has had an EOTech problem?

Just posted a similar thread about Aimpoint. I love the idea.

(I doubt there will be very many who've had an issue, but we'll see)

I have been on a few deployments, and to be honest the majority of soldiers do not prefer aimpoints.

That probably varies from unit to unit. Most of my friends who serve or have served perfer Aimpoints and ACOGS. Eotechs are not much liked.

We were issued ACOGs only, but the JSOC guys I worked with almost all had EOtechs

In two seperate instances guys I've been shooting with had their Rev. F units cut out. One just lost the reticle and the other had the reticle move off into the corner of the window. In both cases replacing the batteries did not fix the problem. Removing the batteries and leaving them out for a 1/2 did.

I helped out another guy who had a newish XPS with the CR123 battery. His EoTech was dead when he pulled the rifle out of the case. He said it was fine when he put the rifle away. I gave him the battery out of my Surefire and that solved his problem.

Yup. If it's not scoped, the NSW guys I know are on Eotech. You might see an Elcan thrown in once in a while, but that's on the rarer side.

From 2006-2008, my 512 (production sometime in 2005 I'm guessing) had some problems with draining the batteries while the unit was turned off. I tried alkaline and lithium batteries. This was on a fobbit gun in OIF.
