ACOG Scope: This type of scope is manufactured by American Trijicon, which specializes in optical instruments. The shell of ACOG is made of aviation aluminum, which is sturdy, waterproof, cold-proof and corrosion-resistant, and can withstand various pressures and shocks of diving depth and field purposes while maintaining the accuracy of the scope. The research and development of this scope first began in 1987, when it was established as part of the US Army’s "Advanced Combat Rifle" ACR development plan.
Now, the US "Advanced Combat Rifle" ACR program has been settled, the M16A4 has become the selected gun type, and ACOG has also entered the US military service with the M16A4. ACOG enables the rifleman to shoot accurately at a distance of 800 meters, which is almost at the level of a sniper.
Unlike the scope used by snipers, ACOG allows the rifleman to open both eyes at the same time when shooting. In this way, while achieving precise shooting, the rifleman can also maintain a sense of the battlefield situation, which has a strong practical significance. ACOG not only helps soldiers carry out precise shooting at long distances, but is also very useful at close distances of more than 50 meters. Some soldiers even use this sight as an observation tool, and it does not require batteries.
CCO close combat scope: also known as the M68 reflective scope. According to an investigation report of the "Operation Iraqi Freedom" Soldier Program Executive Office, soldiers also appreciate this equipment. Most people said that the new design and battery are more advanced than the original CCO. The negative opinion is that the honeycomb anti-reflector is difficult to clean, and it is difficult to keep it to zero.
The soldier’s helmet in the picture is equipped with AN/PV-14 night vision device (also includes AN/PVS-10 sniper night vision device, AN/PSQ-23 small tactical gun-mounted miniature rangefinder, etc.) It is a laser night vision device designed and manufactured by Litton Industrial and ITT. It is the most advanced monocular night vision equipment in the world. It adopts the third-generation intensifier of ITT's patented "peak" sheet type. Rely on one AA battery for power supply. Compared with the previous intensifier, the visible light detection capability of this new intensifier is more than 10 times stronger.
