This is a warning to players who just got new optics for their guns. It will get shot at! A scope lense might stand a chance of surviving a long distance hit in a field game, but in the cqc forget it. One of the players at last night's event learned this the hard way when his brand new reflex sight was totalled by a single hit. All he could do was shrug and say "There goes $80". If you want to use your red dot, you've gotta use a shield. There are a couple of flip-up types available, as well as a slide-in type for EOTECH sights, or you can find scope covers for hunting rifles that can be fitted on depending on what type of scope you have. I've also seen some players use mesh as well. Whatever works, just find it. Otherwise, your scope will have the life expectancy of a house fly.
