Viking, the front site isnt causing a problem? On my wife's SR-16 we have that problem with her scope, the front site in obscuring the view, we have some highrise scope rings on the way to fix that..

Not at all, the red dot line sup perfectly with the front sight. SO really its like I am using my iron sights, just with a red dot, which makes switching targets quicker and more accurate.
You can see it at… err your not coming to OP:AF well When we go to your skirmish you can see the ownage.

I have nothing else to say! Why didn't you goofs get this excited about the one on my AUG?! Ooooh, so mine's 8mm smaller, it must suck! Hehe ;D It actually looks like the exact same design as mine, which doesn't surprise me. I've seen about 8 different brands that all use the same Red Dot sight body and stick their own tag on it. They probably all buy them from an overseas manufacturer and then proceed to tag and sell them for 500% profit... That does look really nice on your gun Viking, but my AUG still looks better Why, it even looks better with a 3-9x32mm scope mounted on it, mwahaha!

Minky, why must you remind me of what I could have had (I'm just being greedy, I actually prefer the P90 ;D) Viking, that's EXACTLY the type of dot reticle scope I would've gotten for my AUG - the more FOV the better. Minky's impressed the hell out of me, can't wait to see yours. Nice find!

You know what, guys? I have *nothing* on my MP5SD6. Nothing. Not even a sling! I was just thinking, and I was deliberating whether or not to buy a scope/red dot for the M4A1 I might possibly be buying tonight (if all goes well...right...: . The thing I'm just contemplating is just why buy a scope if my gun doesn't go as far as the scope can see? I do just fine with my MP5 and stock sights, but that's because the only way to hit anybody is to get pretty darn close (not really far ranging compared to, say, Minky's AUG or Bigmack's G3/SG1). For the M4, if I buy an stronger spring later on, will I need a red dot/scope? Just thinking...oh wells...

My reason for equipping one would be for fast target acquisition, not so much magnification. Too bad my P90 already has one - small but luckily all metal with multi-coated glass lenses.

Newman, red dot scopes on AEGs (cept for PSG1s and dedicated snipe rifles) are useless for the exact reasons you just said. Get a red dot sight; they are two different things. A red dot sight replaces your iron sights. Basically you’re looking through what looks like a scope but there is no magnification just your red dot. It makes acquiring targets extremely fast and accurate. You will see mine at OP:AF.
Loc: From what I have gathered from the manual and looking at my gun you can just take the front sight off. That’s what I was going to do back in the day when I was planning on making my M4 an urban sniper rifle. The only down fall is you lose any way to keep your front sling swivel stationary, but you can always be creative and jerry-rig something. The reason mine isn’t effected by its is cause its a monster, 50mm is huge for a sight. But I think I’m going to rig it on my carry handle, I like the look better, makes it beefier, just as soon as I find my carry handle receiver top thing ma-bob.

Scopes are definatly NOT useless in airsoft, I have one on my FAMAS, the main thing I use it for is looking for stuff. Many times I had thought I seen someone one behind a tree or something, using my scope I was able to tell for sure. Since most binoculars won't work with a face mask/goggles, scopes are very useful. I have also scored quite a few kills doing a bit of single shot sniping using the scope.. and thats with a stock gun.

Hehehe@single shot sniping. If you ever read the post about the first skirmish, that was hilarious when they sent me out with only semi-auto and 10 shots on my MP5SD6 with no scope, and, well, anything else. Then goeth Hado and Viking's brother, and they goeth downeth by The Wrath of Newman as Ballista says. ;D 2 shots. ;D 8)
