Overview
The EOTECH 518 Holographic Weapon Sight (HWS) integrates core operational capabilities observed in premium-tier EOTECH optics, powered by a widely accessible AA battery system. Engineered for adaptability and precision, the 518 incorporates features such as lateral control activation and full compatibility with EOTECH Laser Battery Caps (LBCs), positioning it as a robust solution for diverse tactical and competitive engagements. This specific model configuration is not optimized for night vision device integration.
Key Features
Operational Performance
- **AA Battery System:** Operates on two standard AA batteries, providing a practical balance of runtime and universal power source accessibility.
- **Side-Mounted Controls:** Strategically positioned lateral controls minimize weapon rail footprint, specifically enhancing integration with EOTECH magnifiers for improved target discrimination at extended ranges.
- **Holographic Weapon Sight Technology:** Employs EOTECH’s established holographic optical system, providing a parallax-free reticle projection for rapid target acquisition and engagement.
Enhanced Integration
- **Laser Battery Cap Compatibility:** Designed for direct interfacing with EOTECH Laser Battery Caps (LBCs), facilitating integrated visible or infrared laser aiming functions via the optic’s primary power architecture.
- **Quick-Release (QR) Mount:** Incorporates an integral quick-release mounting mechanism, enabling repeatable attachment and detachment from MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails with verified return-to-zero capability.
Reticle System
- **68 MOA Ring with 1 MOA Dot Reticle:** Features the hallmark EOTECH reticle architecture, comprising a rapid-acquisition 68 MOA outer ring optimized for close-proximity engagements, complemented by a precise 1 MOA central aiming dot for refined targeting at extended ranges.
