[QUOTE="Josh-L, post: 780364, member: 219"] I fail to see how using one for under 400 rounds and one on a pellet gun would put people at ease about buying one and possibly using it in a defensive role. Liliysdad pretty much covered everything else. As for the rain issue I have been told by several officers/operators I know that it has happened to them. One told me of a time he climbed up on a roof on a SWAT call out and once they got in position couldn't see his reticle because of the rain and fog issue. I get asked a lot about the failure rate also by customers when I tell them the Eo's have a much higher one. I don't have actual numbers and not sure if you could even track accurately how many go down so what I do is rely on the professional trainers like Pat Rogers and Magpul Dynamics. All you have to do is ask them and they will tell you how many Eo's die in their classes every single week. I actually like "looking" through an Eo better for some reason but the higher documented failure rate, stupid battery life and awful reticle make me choose Aimpoint. If I was forced to use an Eo I would get the single dot version. [/QUOTE]
