The Toughest Reflex Sight Ever? The LAWS-M Optic

‪@JamesReeves‬ is at IWA 2024 talking to Mike about the Israeli-made LAWS-M reflex sight, which may be the most durable optic in the world, according to its creator. Designed with urban combat in mind, the LAWS-M has no plastic parts and can hold zero on a .50 caliber machine gun. It includes a BDC reticle and has a long battery life. See the video and judge for yourself.

Good on that guy for giving the battery life at the max brightness setting instead of medium-low brightness.

[@Forsakenrage02]

Based, no marketing bull numbers with a * next to them and fine print

[@GldenRetriever]

FR. Battery life comparison between different models is basically apples to oranges. And those who aren't smart, assume 50k = max brightness with full reticle. That and setting 6 for A =/= setting 6 for B.

[@YdoIneedahandle869]

American companies have no respect for it’s customers or workers

[@richardthorpe8889]

I was thinking the same thing. I think it really says something about a product that doesn’t need to rely on cheap tricks to sell its merits.

[@not_your_business666]

I love how he was honest about the battery life.

[@hrlysctt]

That reticle got me feeling like the Predator

[@CosetteTape]

The key being retained in the design is so creative and charming, thats the kind of thing that gets devised in the concept phase and then dropped at some point usually

[@madspooks]

I'd be suprised if it's still there when it hits the market. People (not to mention soldiers on the field) loose small things like that quickly

[@AverageJoe4063]

Less than 1MOA dot on a reflex sight. That's impressive.

[@Apophis392]

How so? Is it more challenging to manufacture a red dot with a smaller reticle?

[@vicdiaz5180]

@@Apophis392most companies don’t offer a sub 1 MOA because most optics regardless what they claim are made in China and a sub 1 MOA requires quality and precision and we all know Chinese optics lack that. So hope that answers your question. Youd be surprised how many of the top name brands are made in China even some of those $500+ optics

[@michaeloren2618]

yes indeed, 0.7 MOA is a result of a high quality optical design and manufacturing

[@memph1ston]

@@Apophis392 no, it isn't and these clowns have no idea what they are talking about. FYI, you can only adjust this optic in .86MOA increments, so the whole "benefit" of having a smaller center dot is completely moot

[@Manco65]

Maximum brightness is 4K hours, built like a tank, built in tool, flush fitting quick release, .7 moa dot. I want.

I like the attached multitool. All the options for caliber and loading in one optic is great too.

[@1nfamyX]

Heirloom quality. Your grandkids gonna be like "i cant believe grandpa fought a war with this, how do i line them up?"

[@matthewconnor5483]

The QD latch is nice and flush. Wish more companies thought about details like that.

[@cyphre]

Neat looking reticle. Glad they are forthcoming with the stats. Good to see it's using a common battery as well. Only real complaint is the price you're paying for something that isn't quite proven.

[@boygonewhoopdataZZ]

Glad to see the Sig 9T without the fancy shrouds 😂

[@2bNIKEt1]

I want this red dot just for my future space gat. That reticle is so cool

[@gabrielchcosta]

I'm pretty sure that at 2:35 the rangefinder on the left (base, 300M - 600M) is inverted. The Leftmost represents 300 and the rightmost represents 600, but they've connected the numbers to the dots incorrectly for sure.

[@DinoNucci]

[@ShizawnSanders]

Spotted one of the best handguns in the world there. The CZ shadow 2.

[@LilSaint001100]

Very nice. For a RDS with dope albeit standard cartridges but nice. Curious in how much it will cost

[@zZthenewguyZz]

Great optic, I think as far as durability it's not going to be more durable than a Eotech, but it looks like it might be on par. Only time will tell with future torture testing

[@lucastonoli3256]

Eotechs are actually not that durable compared to aimpoint and trijicon

[@f308gtb1977]

[@peachykeen1973]

How good is it with astigmatism

[@michaeloren2618]

Astigmatism may be compencated with eyeglasses for reflex and holographic sights, or with telescopic sight's diopter correction.

[@Black_Heart_Defense]

Where’s the plastic on an eotech??

[@michaeloren2618]

The optical bench is made of Polimer Plastic material. Probably PEI

[@osmacar5331]

4,500 hours at max? Talk about efficient.

[@Rossski]

Where is it made?

[@Jeeper906]

If only it had an auto shut-off feature. I think they really missed the ball on that one. The problem with eotechs is the battery life. Red dots, especially with auto shut-off, dont have that issue. Not having that feature really hurts battery life. 4,500 hrs, even on high, is not very good for a red dot.

[@ryanpeck3377]

The Triangle reticle seems gimmicky. There is a reason eotech/holosun use a circle, and if using something else you want the markers to be top/bottom and left/right for things like holdovers, transitioning targets, leading targets etc... That triangle is useless beside looking cool (Maybe its part of the “rangefinding” system, but if so im sure it could have been designed in a better way to be more useful than just rangefinding and cluttering up your sight pic)

This Israeli-made LAWS-M Tough Reflex Optic Sight, looks good for 5.56mm or 7.62mm Calibre Assault Rifles, or for 6.8mm Assault Rifle, or even for the new .338 Norma Magnum Calibre lightweight General Purpose Machine-gun or the .388 Lupa Magnum or 12.7mm / .50 Calibre Sniper Rifles maybe as a backup sight too. Or the LAWS-M Tough Reflex Optic Sight, could be just as good on Combat 12-Gaugue Pump-action or Semi-automatic Shotguns, or used with 5.7mm, or 9mm, or .40S&W, or 10mm or.45ACP Calibre Personal Defence Weapons or Sub-machineguns, or even with Carbine pistol calibre weapons as well. Though they seem to big for actual hand guns, either Semi-automatic Pistols or Double- and Single-action Revolvers, though will the Israeli's manufacturer IWA, soon offer an equally Tough Reflex Optic Sight version of the LAWS-M, that is for Pistols and Revolvers next, or do they already offer one?
