How come military non magnification sights are used if the whole point of iron sights is that you get two points of reference?
In: Other
Because those sight are called reflector sight and work on an optical principle. Basically they don’t need 2 points of reference to work, because of the lens. Once you align it with your gun, no matter the angle at which you look through the sight it will be on target and you don’t need to align 2 points of reference like with an iron sight.
The advantage is that you have a clear field of view and not those big iron sight that might hide some of the target and you can use it more quickly without having to align the 2 points of reference. They are also more visible in the dark and are easier to use with a night vision device, compared to iron sight.
