Aimpoint announced today that they have won the contract to supply up to 120,000 units of the new CompM5 red dot sight for French army’s new HK416 F assault rifle in the span of 6 years.

These sights will replace the Eotech 552 holographic sights which were the standard issue optic for the standard issue Famas rifles.

This is a big win for Aimpoint in addition to the US$2.5mil contract for the Swedish Army as well as the contract for up to 3800 CompM4 for the Berlin police. They are going to be very busy for years to come.
