Aimpoint CompM2
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The CompM2 is a red dot gunsight manufactured by Aimpoint AB.
The device is MIL-SPEC. In the U.S. military, it is designated M68 Close Combat Optic (M68 CCO; NSN: 1240-01-411-1265) and is also known as M68 Aimpoint. The sight is designed for use with the M16/M4 family of rifles, but can be mounted on any weapon fitted with a Picatinny rail. It is also NVG-compatible—the aiming dot is still visible through night vision scopes and goggles.
The sight is water-tight down to 25 meters and runs on one 3-volt Lithium battery type 2L76 or DL1/3N. The aiming dot's brightness is adjustable for better visibility and increased battery life.
The CompM2 is used across branches of the U.S. Armed Forces, Sweden, and various NATO countries. A variant known as the ECOS-N (NSN: 1240-01-495-1385) is also issued as part of the U.S. SOPMOD kit. The sight is also available on the civilian market and is employed by various law enforcement organizations (especially for SWAT type situations that involve close quarters work) and by recreational shooters.
