HWS SIGHTS

511.A65 and 512.A65 Tactical Units

Model 511.A65 with N Batteries and Model 512.A65 with AA Batteries

The HWS has been designed and tested to provide consistent, reliable performance even in the most hostile operational environments. It is waterproof, fogproof, shockproof, and temperature proof.

Holographic Weapons Systems (HWS)

The HWS uses state-of-the-art digital electronics design. Twenty brightness levels ensure proper brightness control in either low light or very bright sunlight. An on-board microprocessor provides automatic battery check indicator, up/down brightness scrolling and programmable auto shutdown features. All electronics are fully encapsulated in shock absorbing resin compound.

The HOLOgraphic Advantage

The holographic patterns have been designed to be instantly visible in any light, instinctive to center regardless of shooting angle, and to remain in view while sweeping the engagement zone. Reticles are designed as large, see-through patterns to achieve lightning quick reticle to target acquisition without covering or obscuring the point of aim.

Heads Up, Full View

The HWS employs a true Heads-Up Display that eliminates blind spots, constricted vision, or the tunnel vision associated with tubed sights. All user controls are flush to the HWS's streamline housing with no protruding knobs, battery compartments or mounting rings blocking vision at the target area. True, 2 eyes open shooting is realized. Instant threat identification is achieved by maximizing the operator's peripheral vision and ultimately gaining greater control of the engagement zone.

Extreme Durability

The HWS is designed to withstand Mil-Spec drop tests and still remain fully operational and hold zero. The HWS has been extensively tested in a punishing recoil simulator generating 3,500 G's of acceleration in less than 0.5 milliseconds (the recoil of a .454 Casull revolver) as well as various environmental chambers).

The Heads Up Display is constructed with a 3 layer, shatterproof laminate glass that is 3/16" thick for added durability. Additional protection of the Heads Up Display is provided with a "roll bar" ruggedized hood.

The HWS has been designed and tested to provide consistent, reliable performance even in the most hostile operational environments. It is waterproof, fogproof, shockproof, and temperature proof.

The Magic of Holography

In holography, all the information required to reconstruct the reticle image is recorded everywhere in the Heads-Up display window. If the window is obstructed by mud, snow, rain, etc., the HWS remains fully operational , with point of aim/impact being maintained. Even in such extreme cases where the laminated window is shattered, the HWS is fully functional! As long as the operator can see through any portion of the window, the entire reticle pattern is visible on target...the operator can still engage with confidence.

No Revealing Signature

The HWS does not emit any muzzle side position revealing light signature...the projected reticle pattern is visible only to the operator. Even Gen III night vision equipment cannot detect muzzle side signature of the operator's position.

All optical surfaces are flat and treated with anti-reflective coatings eliminating additional muzzle side signature due to reflective glare. No need for costly glare elimination filters that reduce the effective light transmission and further dim the target area.

Testimonials

"Let me tell you, that sight is awesome... there have been a few bad guys on the opposite end of that site, and because of your superior craftsmanship, I am writing you this letter a grateful man."
5th Group Special Forces

"I have literally banged, dropped, slammed and scratched the sight to the point that the finish is coming off and there are gouges in the casing. The sight has been on my weapon since February 2003 and it has maintained zero ever since. It has weathered multiple sand, dust and mud storms... and it still operates flawlessly."
Special Operations in Iraq

"The sight is by far the best I have ever used. That is including my time spent in Marine Recon and Special Operations Units."
Lt. Ron Gana
Arkansas Dept. of Correction

"I zeroed with, and then utilized the sight today....Wow! I really like it. This sight allows for a true "two eyes open" sight picture."
Officer Allan Garcia
Middletown PD, RI Special Ops Unit

"The sight was very fast in CQB situations. I have never used another sight that was faster or easier to use."
Kevin Marshall
Deputy Sheriff
San Juan County, NM

"We call the HWS...the "heat"
Special Forces Operator
Ft. Lewis, WA

"As for the sights, well... the best way to put it is... they are like cheating. Really, those things are the best tool that I have. It is so fast and easy to acquire that it's idiot proof. You don't loose the reticle in the bright light (the Aimpoints are terrible for that) and the dot is super easy to acquire."
Spec Ops Operator
