Thanks for the test. I am sighting my xps2-1 with the single dot in today. I agree that the aimpoint is prob a better sight, but I am an eotech guy because it is cheaper than an aimpoint and for my needs an eotech works better than I need it to. If I was walking in the mountains of afghanistan, I would want the aimpoint. However walking through the woods of Georgia, an eotech is for me.
Nope. The Magpul stock held up fine, the LMT RE is fine, the magpul mid-length handguard got chewed up a little from the shotgun blasts, but it is still holding onto the gun. I broke that one windowed PMAG but that wasn’t a big loss.
The EOtech is $409-439 or so. The Aimpoint PRO is about $425. 
Yea I just saw the aimpoint pro in a magazine yesterday, and wished I would have known about it before I ordered my eotech, but I sighted it in today and shot the piss out of a hog with it this evening. I came into the field, got off the golf cart, and threw up and shot so fast it was awesome. My eotech has the single dot and I really like it more than the 65 moa outer ring. It is a 1 moa dot and I like it alot better than the 4 moa dot of the aimpoint. The 2 moa aimpoint dot is on the same level though.
I just looked at the aimpoint pro and i really did like its features for the $$$, however it does weigh more than the eotech xps2 with the mount.
Since this thread was in response to Larry Vicker’s DDM4 torture test, it is important to note that:
a) To get the proper camera angle, the DDM4 with Aimpoint T1 was ran over several times in order to get a good shot.
b) The camera man accidently hit the eject button during the helicopter drop and the drop had to be performed twice.
b) At the end where Larry states that the T1’s zero had moved, at a recent carbine class he told us that after further review, it was determined that the DDM4’s barrel had been bent (2 helicopter drops?) causing the change in POI, not the T1.
While the Eotech in this thread did better than most thought it would, it is still far below Aimpoint in regards to durability. Any search on the net’s shooting forums for Eotech failures (many types) will yield a wealth of threads. Conversely, a search for Aimpoint failures will yeild few.
YMMV
I just wanted to give an update. I noticed the other day that my EOTech had a piece of something floating around on the inside of the sight when it was shook and held upside down (didn’t effect function at all) so I emailed EOTech about it. They said send it in and they would take care of it. I just got it back and it is a brand new XPS 2-0. Cost to me: shipping to their factory. Total turn around time was about two weeks.
Wow that is impressive CS, a very select few companies would replace the optic at no charge especially with the amount of abuse it has taken. Theres something to be said about a company that stands behind their product like that.
That is all awesome. I started a poll yesterday wondering who had had any problems with their EOTech’s. The one’s that did had great things to say about the service but damn. And thanks for the test man, very good to know.
Edit - Nevermind, you already posted in it. That post would not have made me think all of this had happened to it though, haha.
Funny is i have seen over 10 of them go down in classes this year alone from shooting and battery issues… go figure
Good they replaced the unit
I had a very positive experience with EOtech CS as well. Sent them a 6 year old 511 model; it wasn’t replaced, but when I got it back it worked as new. They also replaced the scared protective hood N/C.
I’ve always heard Eotech had excellent service. Course I’m the type that doesn’t really want to experience dealing with a company’s CS.
I really hope the CS is good. My XPS went back this week for repair/replacement. The XPS kept shutting off under recoil. It happened about every 5th round.
Update?
And which models were they? The older ones that have known issues for which there is a retrofit fix for or were they all newer models?
When you say battery issues, dead batteries are not the sights fault, thats operator error…
This is an awesome test writeup.
I just joined recently and noticed a lot of the guys here talk shit about the durability of an EOTech compared to an Aimpoint, ACOG, etc.
They may not be AS durable, but that’s damn durable still. From my experience in the Army and LE…if you’re doing something for your weapon and rifle to get that banged up in a real word situation…then obviously there’s some sort of operator error going on.
I just bought an EXPS2-2 w/ G33. Glad you did this, it showed me how tough these things really are.
+1 thumbs up.
WTF are you talking about? I fell out of 2 helicopters and subsequently got ran over by a truck all 3 times I went to the range last week. You must live in a super safe neighborhood! :rolleyes::rolleyes:
hahahaha! 
One of the contributors here mentioned that any time during the 8hr on just depress the up button. That starts the 8hrs over. Sounds good to me though I’ve yet to try it.

I had almost forgotten about this. Update, I bought an EXPS 2-2-0 and it is doing well. I haven’t had any troubles with either except the EXPS was starting to get dim. EP TECH asked for it back and I got a new sight for that as well. I didn’t like the fact that the older ones seem dimmer than the newer ones, but their CA fixed it and it came back as bright as ever. I have owned 4 EOTechs at one point or another, all XPS series, and they have been great. I won’t buy the no -transverse ones though, they seem to be hit or miss.
