Soldiers Using The ACOG Scope. #army#shorts

[HutLnJuNk]

Wow! Am I the only one that thought the tip of the chevron was what you use? Not the shoulder part of it but the actual tip of the ^

[rinconusmc]

“That’s my favorite scope”

Me: “heh. Amateurs” (attaches kaleidoscope to rifle)

I remember telling the freshmeat to go get me some acog batteries from the Amory. The Armorors face was priceless.

You are correct BUT you also forgot about the chevron itself. The top of the chevron is for 100m targets, the top of the cutout is 200m. When zeroing the scope on an M4 @25m, use the top of the POST as your point of aim for the center of the target. The IMPACT of the rounds @25m should be about 1.5 cm BELOW the point of aim. This is to account for the sight over bore difference.

It’s funny to me how different others are taught on the same optic. The tip of the chevron is 100yds, the crotch of the chevron 200yds, and the tip of the post 300 and so on. Pretty neat hearing different ways others use the RCO

[roadtokali]

When a target is close, like 25 meters, you actually use the tip of the post to shoot

[DicertoC]

“All the way up in the air”. Literally a quarter inch raise at most. Relax dude.

[lawrence.ap]

“If he’s 50 you aim down” that so counterintuitive that you might as well put an M2 browning on a bronco and call it a humvee

[Nepomniachtchi_Austin]

Finally, someone that calls it a chevron instead of a damn carrot.

Also the width of the notches for the range marks doubles as makeshift rangefinders, as they are the average size of a soldier's width shoulder to shoulder from said distance. So if a combatant is far away and you dont know the range, you can check each of the notches and if it just covers the combatant, say 600 meters, that's the correct distance.

I worked for Trijicon as a field technician and traveled all over the US and sometimes to other countries working on their equipment and also work on NODS, lasers and thermal imaging. I ended up leaving though after two years for a better opportunity with Elbit Systems of America.
This is the current name, prior to that it had three other names. The original was ITT Night Vision. Elbit is a Israeli owned company in Haifa.

Nah nah, it's magic till i get a proven peer reviewed study.

[sgtredrhino]

Loves how he explained what's inside of an acog

[curtism-wb]

"How does it work?" It doesn't until you beat it with a block of wood so it'll keep 0 😂

[PsychoCrnivore]

The tip of the chevron is zeroed for 100 meters you dont have to aim below your target at 50. You will get good enough hits aiming center mass at 50 meters to kill a man

[nobandfan]

“I shot him center mass sir!”
“He was really close, what did you aim at?”
“You don’t want to know sir!”

[so-fla.streetcars]

The acog is a great scope Especially if you were somewhere like korengal But they got a little annoying with close engagement distances in villages I was a huge fan of the elcan when that came out finally

[ebeneezerscrooge]

A Cog. Red Dot. Iron Sight. Hell yeah brother!

[shake]

Nobody has ever successfully explained to me how to use the ACOG. Well done, sir. Thanks.

"All the way up in the air!!!!"
Dude, have you ever actually fired a rifle with an optic on it? A few millimeters movement can change the bullet trajectory by several feet or not at all depending on the range. It's not a damn grenade launcher.
