An operator-grade Holographic Weapon Sight made for close-quarter engagements with fast targets. HWS XPS2 is the non-night-vision version of EOTECH’s shortest and lightest HWS sight so far. The 0 at the end of the name indicates with engineer logic that this version has the 1 MOA dot surrounded by a 68 MOA ring.
The CR123 lithium battery configuration provides additional rail space, leaving more room for rear iron sights or magnifiers. This sight features EOTECH’s most popular reticle, the 68 MOA ring with 1 MOA dot.
Holographic sights offer a few pros over conventional reflex-type red dot sights. While the battery life is shorter, you do get a lot in return.
First, the reticle is projected on the target instead of the front lens so you can keep both the reticle and target in focus at the same time.
The dot size relative to the target appears smaller with a magnifier. In reality, the dot is a lot smaller than 1 MOA but the resolution of a human eye isn't accurate enough to tell the difference: We perceive it as 1 MOA. Even with the magnifier, the dot doesn't appear enlarged even though the target is magnified normally.
The hologram remains functional even with damage to the optics. If the front lens of a reflex sight shifts or breaks, the sight will be totally off zero if you see a dot at all.
Finally, holographic sights have a smaller parallax error compared to reflex sights, though it must be noted that it's minimal with high-quality conventional red dots already.
