I would like to correct myself here Red dots does'nt give us any serious advantage in long range firing(bcoz of their small magnification of 1x and 1.5x) they just help the soldiers in taking out targets quickly .
I think ACOG should have been a better option for G3A3s.
A Red Dot Sight is only a tool for fast acquisition of target within 100m or so & it is not designed for long range shooting. Anything longer, a rifle is much better off with either a magnification scope for day or a thermal sight for night engagement. PA main requirement was to have a sight with 1x magnification and an effective engagement range of 25m for its red dot sight selection program. This puts the sight in more of a CQB domain then anything else. The MIRA sight from Romania is of ACOG design but its too big, rather ugly on a G3 and SMG and very heavy standing at 367 grams (vs 260 grams required by PA)!!!
