AUSA 25 – SIG SAUER Machine Gun Optic
SIG SAUER debuted their new Machine Gun Optic at AUSA. While that is the role that it was created for, it would do a great job for any application you require a Red Dot Optic. We showed you a developmental version of this technology during our SHOT Show coverage earlier this year.
It features an Active-matrix LED display which leaks no light forward so there’s no downrange light signature. Right in front of the shooter on the base of the optics is a “Barrel swap Button” which switches the reticle to one of two presets, either for swapped barrels as for a machine gun or super and sub ammo for a carbine or SMG.
It talks to the WARP Laser Range Finder either via Bluetooth or hard wired connection. IPX-8 waterproof rated, it incorporates a Titanium Shroud and intended for hard use.
Specs:
Length: 3.7 in
Width: 2.3 in
Height: 3.1 in
Weight: 16 oz (with CR123 battery installed)
Displayed here as a full system which includes the WARP1550, MGO, and JULIET4T-AMR, the optic can be used alone or with the other components.
Here we can see it from the point of view of the shooter. The JULIET4T-AMR offers 4x magnification faction although other magnifications could be used as well. What makes this magnifier unique is that it integrates SIG’s new Automatic Modified Reticle which when flipped into place tells the optic to swap to a different reticle, usually at a smaller size due to the magnification.
This image obtained from SIG Electro-Optics does a great job of going over the features of the MGO.
The best thing about the MGO is that it features a digital reticle which is projected within the optic. Reticles available include ballistic and disturbed (thanks to embedded Applied Ballistics software in the WARP LRF) with multiple reticle patterns. It will also diplay Compass, Cant, and Distance to target.
The Weapons Attached Ranging Platform (WARP) SWIR uses 1550 nm SWIR wavelength (undetectable under NV) ranges 4,000 yd and includes environmental sensors and compass as well as embedded Applied Ballistics Elite software.
