With a red dot, or reflex sight, you have a low power LED that produces the reticle, while a holographic sight uses a more powerful laser that bounces around to produce the holographic image of the reticle. The biggest impact of this difference is the duration of the battery life of the site. As the holographic sight consumes more power, it understandably dies quicker compared to a red dot sight. It is always recommended to turn off your site if you do not intend to use it for some time to avoid draining the battery. You can get any other idea about holographic from online as Olomagic.com.

How do you get the MW2 red dot sight in MW3?

The red dot sight from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was only available during the builds of MW3 and was never actually released for the game. For unknown reasons the red dot sight from MW2 was cut and they used a similar model from the original Modern Warfare but with changes. But an AK-47 with the MW2 red dot sight can be found in MW3 in the spec ops mission "Kill Switch".


What is the difference between a red dot sight and a laser sight?

The difference is that red-dot sights have contained aiming reticles, whereas laser sights use an emitted laser beam that must fall onto a target. Red-dot sights are used mainly for more accurate ADS (aiming down sight) firing and laser sights allow for less-accurate, but made more so, shoulder-firing.


What does it mean when the dot product between two vectors is zero?

When the dot product between two vectors is zero, it means that the vectors are perpendicular or orthogonal to each other.


What is the relationship between the gradient of the dot product of two vectors and the vectors themselves?

The gradient of the dot product of two vectors is equal to the sum of the gradients of the individual vectors.


How will you compare the distance between two succesive dots?

The distance between two successive dots can be compared using a ruler or measuring tape to measure the physical distance between the dots. Alternatively, you can calculate the distance by subtracting the coordinates of one dot from the coordinates of the other dot in a coordinate system.

What is the difference between Holographic sight and Hybrid sight?

The holographic sight is a sight with a 1.5x zoom. The hybrid sight is a combination of both the red dot sight and holographic sight, you can switch between the two at any time. The hybrid sight is only in MW3. Related links have been added that describe the features of both sights


Holographic sight modern warfare 2?

holographic sight is practically the red dot sight but bigger. personally i like the holographic sight alot better. The RDS can be a little off on some guns (FAL), while the HS isn't.


What is the difference between the red-dot sight and the holographic sight?

The difference is that red-dot sights are cheaper to make, less accurate, and not as durable as holographic sights are. Both use an LED (light-emitting diode) to create a reticle (target dot) imposed onto a clear surface, but holographic sights are usually more accurate at long distances and do not "change" position in the glass when looked through at a different angle, which the reticles of red-dot sights often do. The key to this difference is that red-dot sights refract the laser emitted by the LED only once, allowing room for error, whereas holographic sights refract the one beam from the LED multiple times from multiple angles so that each laser refraction will reach the same place every time and will appear to remain consistent in its position to the shooter's eye.


What is the difference between the red dot sight and the reflex sight?

There is essentially no difference in the two, they both do the same thing but they look different on the outside. Technically speaking, a red-dot is a reflex sight.


Would batteries be affected by an EMP?

EMPs affect red dot sights and all enemy kill streaks. Even though red dot sight is affected, the holographic sight can still be used.


What does the holographic sight in modern warfare 2 do to the gun?

Instead of a single dot, it has a small circle with crosshairs. It's generally a better aim.


What is the main difference of the USE from a holographic sight and a red dot?

Red dot sights are generally very robust and have a long battery life. Some Aimpoint red dot sights have over 8 years' worth of continuous use from one singe battery. This makes the scope ideal for hunting, conventional warfare and home-defense as you don't know when you need to use the sight and have a great need of having it on all the time. Holographic sights are heavy and energy hungry but give a very good sight picture with better parallax. They are good in situations where you can predict when you will be using them. Examples are in competitive shooting or in advanced military and police operations where it is the user that starts the engagement. For the average gun owner the difference is negligible.


What is the best assault rifle in MW2?

Peronnally I like the M16A4, but you might not agree. Try putting a holographic sight/ red dot sight on it, if you don't like the cold steel. The M16A4 is a headshot killing machine!

How do you unlock weapon attachments on call of duty modern warfare 2?

just get kills with the gun, then when you unlock attatchment like the red dot sight, getting kills with that attachment on will unlock further thing like so: grenade launcher - underslung shotgun silencer - heartbeat sensor red dot sight - holographic sight FMJ - extended mags ACOG scope - thermal scope
