Do you know if at3 is good. It's hard to spot quality without the name

[@t.m9341]

@@OGsDangerShow i found their website a few years ago and it was all really cheap but they combined a laser with a dot also so I thought it was sus quality . I have a red dot from primary arms before they were even known i think it was like their first one I got it back around 2010 i think . The same battery still works .

LOL. I can't even survive a half hour of The View. That's the worst torture test I can think of. From what I could tell, that's one tough assed little red dot. Reminded me of a lot of these Hi Point torture tests where they drive bolts down the barrel, pour them full of concrete and they just keep on working.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Thanks John, glad you like the show.

[@markfergerson2145]

So, kinda the HiPoint of red dots? Loving these meat-and-potatoes reviews OG. I don’t expect to ever freeze any kind of electronic device into a block of ice or bake it that hot, but I’m pretty sure you exceeded the manufacturer recommended temperature limits. Too bad about the fogging. That tells me it wasn’t sparged with dry nitrogen or dry air before it was sealed. Then again, at that price it really can’t be expected.

[@JettBlast]

Thanks for the real-world testing and your no-nonsense approach to weapons and gear. I enjoy spending time with you, Jeff, and the Taofledermaus crew. I have marathons of all of your content while I tinker with my gear and other stuff.

​@OGsDangerShow Thank you for reviewing the A20 Miniature Red / Green Dot Sight RMR Footprint 2 MOA Sight, I picked up a couple for myself. Have you seen the Dove mount for pistols that don't have an RMR cut? I Have seen some great reviews and durability tests looks like a good piece of kit.

[@longlowdog]

At £240 here in the UK it's not a cheap toy for us compared to the U.S price but it sure looks interesting for driven boar in Europe. Great video, regards from Scotland.

Cheers Shaun! 🤘😎🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@bearbarre6435]

Oh, NO!!!! You did NOT expose that poor sight to... the VIEW!!! You monster! How could you?!? ...But it survived, so harm, no foul. It didn't break the glass or kill the dot. Pretty impressive little sight. The drop tests and the taco test were brutal, but the sight actually seemed to improve a bit with some of them. I'm not a red dot kinda guy, but that looks like a pretty cool product. Out of curiosity, I looked them up on e-bay and they have several models for both rifle and pistol. Thanks for another great video. Keep 'em coming!

[@Simon_Nonymous]

Now that is what I call a test. The interesting thing now will be to see which manufacturers/distributors will treat this as a good showcase of their products and send you samples, and which ones will quietly move along.

[@OGsDangerShow]

I have a stack of emails from companies trying to send me weapon sights and night vision. I’ve started to turn them all down, but these blokes sent one anyway, so why not destroy it?! Cheers Simon. Hiya to Liz! 🇬🇧

12:50 those are some pretty awesome tires too! I’ve had the Widpeak Trail A/T’s for a couple years now and they are awesome for the price and the capability. Was able to drive around crater lake from my parents house to north western CA in a snowstorm, and didn’t need chains or had any slipping

Very interesting and enjoyable video OG. I have a stock Ruger PC Carbine and that might be what I want for it after looking at the competitions prices. Thanks so much

[@OGsDangerShow]

I don’t think you can go wrong with this one for the price.

[@RTTGunsGear]

One of the main issues with the cheap Amazon Chinese red dots is consistency. I've reviewed a bunch of these types of dots, and many of the companies send me two at a time. Inevitably, one will pass testing with flying colors and the other has some sort of issues. Good video though!

[@OGsDangerShow]

Thanks for stopping by, Matt. 🤘😎

[@roccoelleto9900]

The best KZbin gun style torture test ever. 1/2 hour of the View. Bwahahahaah. Sure it's not a PRO, Vortex, or some high end optic that people think make you shoot better. But for a simple out to 50-100 yards SHTF dot it seemed pretty darn good. Would be nice dot on a home defense shotgun especially with the shake awake feature. Love the channel.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Thanks Rocco. Glad you like it.

[@janvasadi7284]

Seems like a great optic never really had one that worked well. Thanks for video 👍🙏🇺🇲

[@Cr0wmagnum]

I picked up a cheap red dot just to see if it would be a helpful option for me. It held up pretty good and was an affordable way to experiment with the concept without breaking the bank. I learned a few things and feel a lot more comfortable about spending a good amount on a quality dot. Hopefully you can get this one in green. I'm curious if I can pick up on it better.

[@HurleyWelding]

Great video OG!

[@OGsDangerShow]

Thank you sir. I hope all is going well over there. 🤘😎

[@heywardmorgan7699]

Not bad at all, expected the concrete drop to do it in, pretty good design. I have learned that dropping it in the dirt somehow improves accuracy 😅. Have a great week and stay safe.

[@StrangerOman]

Destruction test? Neat. Pretty cool that you still were able to make hits when the dot gone. A lil benefit for a small window optic. Ice block optic looked very cool. Guess they better update the specs, this optic ain't Arctic or Oven rated. :)

[@DesertTactical]

Now thats a torture test. Good video!

Gotta be something in the Geneva Convention against subjecting anything or anyone to “The View” torture.

[@irvingramirez4614]

Hey OG, I recently viewed the Gowutar on your channel and I was impressed with your destructive work out on the red dot optic sight. Could you tell me what the cost is of this optic sight? OG, I really like 👍 👌 your videos on the channel and watched you with taoflaudamus channel as well until you got into your own. I've watched that channel for 2 or 3, maybe more but I am a big fan. Greg, thank you for all your hard work that you make fun to watch as well as enjoyable, entertaining and informative. Keep up the great work 👍.

[@markfergerson2145]

Price seems to vary by where you are. Here in the US Pacific Northwet I get a price of $169.00 on their website, but a commenter in Scotland reports £240.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Thanks for watching, Irving. These optics are running about $135 after the discount for Danger Show viewers.

[@BugsyNY]

Thanks, George! We gave you a shout out over on the latest taofledermaus video.

[@Canadianman762]

I like this, great test. Just an idea, if you did it in the future again seeing a red dot survive on a shot gun with a bunch of 3” loads would also be a great test of durability.

Holy shit, OG, you are hard on your toys! The beating the Gowutar endured was impressive! 👍 Please don't ask to borrow any of my toys.

[@itsapittie]

I must admit I'm impressed. It's no surprise that it lost zero after being dropped on the concrete 5 times. As for putting it in water for hours and then freezing it, I doubt many (any?) much more expensive optics would have survived that.

[@stevenojeda2998]

[@rcairnut]

thank again for the videos OG

[@gotindrachenhart]

For the money their whole lineup is pretty impressive IMO. Seem very well made too. My only gripe thus far is I have a smaller pistol style dot and it uses tiny screws to adjust windage and elevation.....tiny....FLAT HEAD screws. Which of course, means they'll be mangled in short order OR the housing immediately around them will. Beyond that I love the little things and suggest them to anyone who can get past the point of origin :)

[@ElainesDomain]

That was fun. I think the freezer test would have been successful if not frozen in water. Always good to see you outside of CA. Inside is ok but better out.

[@OGsDangerShow]

I agree 100%. Thanks for watching.

[@ETC_Rohaly_USCG]

I’m digging my Gowutar from the last review, and this certainly seems to be up there in quality for the price as well! I’ll have to check it out when I have another upper with space lol!

[@johncashwell1024]

At the 12:00 mark, I would say that it is likely that on the concrete drop that the red dot did not lose zero, but that the mount was bent just ever so slightly. That would be enough to cause it to be off that tiny amount.

[@OGsDangerShow]

Not sure, because I dialed in ten clicks of elevation and it was right back on target. 🤷‍♂️

[@Dang_Near_Fed_Up]

Being a dirt cheap mount I would not be surprised to see that you are right. Precision mounts cost because of that precision in manufacturing. The moisture inside proved that they cut a few corners in manufacturing the red dot as well. That said, it still surprised me that it held up this well. I doubt I would use this as a primary on my rifle, but maybe as 45' offset backup sights in place of simple metal flip up sights.

[@harveyloveall7066]

Great torture test. It is a very tough unit but the freezing may be a draw back for our Northern Brothern.

[@OGsDangerShow]
