As someone who used those in the army, you just stop noticing the honey comb

I take the honeycomb off unless I need something to hide the glint from my optic. But in a house or cqb it’s better to have a good sight picture than hiding the glint

Towards the sun = love honeycombs Away from the sun = hate honeycombs

If you can see the honeycomb, you’re focusing on the wrong thing.

How to not see Honeycomb: 1. Two eyes opened 2. Fixate both eyes on the target 3. Close one eye then the other subsiquently opening previously closed eye 4. Your left eye (if your a right hand firer) will see the holographic projection of the sight 5. Train on doing this

Transition smooth af

Of course this is quite hard to show on camera

For a while before good glass manufacturing, red dots used to be totally opaque/solid and you wouldn’t see through them.

It’s like looking into a microwave

Fun fact, non magnified you don’t need to see through your Holo or Red Dot window at all. You paint your target not aim through. Thats why you keep both eyes open.

Almost like looking through a window that has a grid

I had a honey comb on my aimpoint. I took that off asap because my eye only focused on it.

The only thing the honeycomb really does is make the optic a little darker. Your eye ignores the pattern but the slight amount of light you lose does still darken the optic a bit.

I just kept seeing my dead mother asking me “why” 😭😭😭 it’s only with the Killflash too. Jesus Christ WHY!?!?

Its like looking in to a microwave i guess

If you’re seeing the honeycomb it means you’re using the sight wrong. You’re meant to be looking at the target through the sight, not looking at the reticle

It’s kinda like looking through a window with a window screen

Fuckinf sucks when its raining though 😂

Worst case scenario (pack the grid with mud) it would still act like an old school occluded eye gun sight. Basically the first gen red dot.

I used to do Épée fencing, where the mask is basically a fancy mesh basket with padding No yeah, you get used to any sorta mesh and stuff, I figure its the same with this, besides they look hella cool and help keep you safe

You can totally block the red dot with tape in the front and as long as you have both eyes open, you are target focused, and you can still see the red dot, you can still use the red dot because of the way your brain combines the two images it gets from both eyes. This won't work with a magnifier but the point is that if you can block out the front of the red dot with a solid obstruction and still be able to use it effectively, you can most certainly use a honeycomb

Iron sights users: okay

You can put a piece of tape over the lense and still use the optic if you're using your eyes correctly.

Similar to how cameras dont pick up screens or fences up close

Its only a problem in video games and cameras because they usually don’t focus correctly past the hexcomb and instead just obfuscates vision. Real eyes can see through it like a microwave door or pulling a shirt over your head and you see through the little holes.

It’s like when you wear a Fencing helmet you forget there’s honeycomb covering your face

Why does the Eotech have a kill flash? They engineered the objective lens so it doesn’t have a glint. Just an fyi

I've never seen those used on EOTechs. I figured maybe they didn't have the glint problem.

So if you can’t focus past the honeycomb in a situation where you need it, you’re in the wrong profession.

I feel like its the same with those metal wire fences, you just look at whats behind them instead of focusing on the tiny bars

I used a sing star mic. It happened to fit the diameter of my sight so well It it caught a lip and basically sealed itself in. When I realized I was having such a hard time getting it out I figured why not just keep it in

I can still aim with a holo if it is covered. Two eyes open, your other eye paints the holo over what you see. So a killflash won’t inhibit your ability to see your sight picture unless you’re using improper technique. I am not claiming to be an expert, but I know what I know.

Here’s an experiment for y’all to try if you still don’t believe it. Take a zoomed in picture through a chain link fence, you cannot see the links because the camera focuses past them.

You can slap an opaque black cover over the end of a red dot and still use it effectively

Funny that's what my eyes do when I drive and it rains but I don't use the wipers.😂

It's called "burning through " pogs 😂

Less glare when you look down your sight

I stuck some window screen repair patches to my optic and it works remarkably well as a kill flash for 1/10th the cost

have people never looked through a screen door

If you walk up to a fence and then look at something way past the fence the fence will become blurry as if it's not even there same idea...

What's really annoying is that in most videogames I've played the visuals don't represent your eyes naturally focusing past it and it just looks like a bunch of hexes in the way

The honeycomb

Bro thinks he’s glaz

I instantly thought of R6

POV: glazz from seige

It’s the same as looking through a screen

So like the blindspot effect, you just focus the honeycomb in your blindspot?

People dont realise you use both eyes when you shoot with a red dot

I use red dots for airsoft, and I leave the cover on the front so it doesn't get shot out. Unless you're using a magnifier, you can keep the front covered, and it still works if you keep both eyes open, like you should be doing anyway.

I hate honeycombs because when i was qualifying it was raining and the lense was foggy so i saw two dots and no target. I asked my drill if i could wipe the lense and he screamed at me that im a dumbass private and will break it and walked away. So i failed qual but passed the redo on a sunny day. Asshole drill made me feel like i was a bad shot when he was a bad teacher

… said nobody ever

Its also easier the closer you mount it

it's the same with a rifle scope on a ar with a tall front sight post

The scope i have you cant even see the honeycomb so idk why you would want this setup

Dude when did these come out? I couldnt find em a couple years back and had to glue a black mosquito net to the hood

Too use it properly you have to look through cantered not at an angle

All my hexes live in texis.

Its Glazes scope from rainbow 6 sige

I think a better video would be explaining why the honey comb and what it dpes and its advantages and disadvantages

So can you use it without a magnifier? From the video, it appears just hexes but not as much with magnifier

Bro I can do it thru the phone it seems good enough

Erm is that glaz’s gun

Do people not know how to focus/unfocus their eyes? Its such a useful skill to have and i thought it just comes naturally

Id rather have little issue seeing than no issue being seen by enemy snipet

Does this help you find the dot too because in daylight I find it hard to find

I'm assuming it's for glare from the sun or lights?

Why the hontcomb on a holographic sight? One of eotech selling points is the non reflective glass. Is it for the magnifier?

What’s the honeycomb for? I’m clueless

I do gun stuff sometimes but what the actual fuck is the honey combs meant for?

W In chat

Think of it like looking through a window screen. Yeah ya know its there, but it also isnt.

Here's the thing. If you're using a red dot or holo and you can't effectively engage a target after you put duct tape over the front of your optic the problem is you.

Pantyhose is a good and cheap alternative to honeycomb. -Former Solder

Glaz irl????

When you’re actually shooting, your eyes shouldn’t be focused on the reticle. You should be looking through the reticle at your target. Then shoot

What’s the point of a kill flash?

Can anyone explain why it even has a honey comb

What is the point of the honeycomb?

Rember don’t look at your scope look through your scope

Should’ve just gotten a LPVO

I'm going to be real with y'all I glued a honeycomb on to the end of my monstrum three times I don't give a f***

What magnifier mount is that?

And ill still miss

glaz from siege???

Not a firearms person, what is the purpose of the honeycomb? Anti-glint or durability or is it something else?

But with how magnified it is, I could never make out the hexagons right, and doesn't this negate glint? or am I just stupid for believing cod for 6 years lol

Yeah if ur using optics correctly, it wont get in the way at all

Wouxon - ocean parts kit? Gonna make one? Gonna answer? Just Gonna ignore? Whatever... I'm a tactical couch potato with no job, no GF, no lawn to mow, and a bank account with money to spend. I'll stop when you send a hitman my way

You shouldn’t be looking through the dot anyway

Hiding the glint lmao who the fuck y’all think you’re fighting

People just don't know how to use their eyes properly

Why do you need a kill flash on an EOtech? Isn't one of the advantages of the holographic projection a lack of forward emissions?

Does not work on camera tho but yeah Thats about it

What's the point of them

Glaz

What’s the point of it?

Nobody thinks that

Ummm na I took my shit off in the army. It always got dirt in it anyways. It’s useless.

I wonder if people understand how to actually use one of these sights anyway 🤔 you should see the projected dot in both eyes as your brain kinda blends it all. With a mag obviously this is different but most ppl dont use a holo or dot like that.
