Protecting your optics

[LongStone]

if armyissue gets around to adding them to the catalogue they have some photos looking through the optic with them, there's a mesh goggle effect but there's not tint to them

Also, polycarb is a bitch to cut, you need specialized tools to cut it cleanly and smoothly, otherwise it sort of ends up melting.

I tried plexiglass, it shatters too easily, and BB makes a hole in 1/8.
Use Lexan, it much stronger on impact. And you can cut it using just metal cutter, no any tools required.

Really looking for a cleaner option than the rail mount.
Can't get a solid answer on the Eotech option.
Longstone only one of your photo's is showing. mine how ever does not look like the second photo you posted?

Best option for the EoTech is the Lens protector from Airsoftparts.ca. Seriously, that thing is crystal clear (even though all the crystals I've ever seen have been opaque), and mega durable.

This one? It can really take a bb hit?

Yes it can take a hit. I used one of those when I owned a Hurricane 553.

Can it take several hits without cracking? Mine completely split after two shots.

Did you get THAT ONE from Airsoftparts? 'Cause the one he sells is extremely thick, durable plastic. The other one's I have seen are quite thin, and flimsy.

No, but I'm assuming these shields are all from China. I bought one from Evike and the other form ASGI, both cracked are 1/8" thick. Mine was crystal clear but certainly not bb proof.

When you say extremely thick, how thick? I would like to see a video of the Airsoftparts one being shot at.

Can you make a clear mesh protector?
