The very last sentence...

"In today's military, it's accuracy let's it down."

True, AR15/M16's are more accurate than AK's. That is not the only thing that matters when it comes to combat though.

Notice how many countries have their own version of the AK-47 for use in their armies.

Here's an interesting video

AK-47 vs. M-16

Colt LE6920 are going for about $1195 + 25transfer.
I've seen one company doing $1129.
That's down from $1800 during the craze.

At these prices why buy a copy?

Not some Spanish crap CETME.

Just wanted you to be aware of the 511. I've seen the prices plummet. Using a 553.A65 to standardize batteries in all my devices/lights.

Denial! CETME = G3A3

It's just a Nazi-made CETME, stolen from Spanish Nazis, that stole it from Nazi-nazis.

Yeah, thanks for the heads up on the 511. I was pretty new to Eotech's product lineup until about 2 weeks ago. Then I started sifting through ar15.com until I found an optic in good condition, for cheap, that was either aimpoint or eotech.

Mint condition, used 3 times, $310 shipped.

Unless somebody can find me a better price...

Two different sights. I have both. I use Aimpoint M4 for outside mid range. Eothech for urban CQB. Larger sight picture and faster acquistion with eotech. But I'm also a lot older with diminished vision. Both are excellent quality!!!
