Impressed that that little Aimpoint took the abuse it did and still held zero through most of the test. :P

That was what impressed me the most, I'm not sure if the Aimpoint lost zero or the barrel bent when they dropped it from the helicopter but the little sight was impressive in this test.

The fact that it continued to function well enough to still put rounds on target after that blast and the rear lens being busted :eek:

This test is useless to me... it really doesn't tell me anything other than about that gun.

How do other M4's compare? All tests should be done in comparison or relation to another.

That little aimpoint is pretty cool, but again, how about throwing on a cheap red dot optic on a cheaper M4 and run the same test's the same way.

It's kinda like the 1/4 mile results for a car... it only makes sense in relation to other cars.
