The HWS is a sweet design, the fact you can use it with a cracked or broken screen is very nice. And while I have yet to see one with a bullet hole through the glass I have used one with mud on it and it worked fine. The open design makes pick up feel very quick. I can make hits with the EOTech faster than with an Aimpoint at close range when using a timer.
All of that side there are some substantial downsides to EOTech’s design. The first being battery life, the AA models say they run up 1100 hours with lithium batteries, which is closer to around 800 in my experience. The others have even more reduced run times. All models also have an auto shut off of either 4 or 8 hours. This is easy to circumvent by occasionally hitting the up or down arrow, but something that is a none issue with a modern Aimpoint. Because of the nature of the battery box recoil on certain weapons will sometimes cause the batteries to loose contact and the sight will shut down. My major problem with the EOTech is that they do break, and when they do getting through to L3s customer service is all but impossible. I’ve seen more broken EOTechs on one deployment that the total number of broken Aimpoints I’ve ever seen total.
All in all I do like the sight and have several, but for real world operations the modern Aimpoint sights like the M3, M4 or T1 are hard to beat.
