Magnifiers

The different EOTech Weapon Magnifier Models and Features

EOTech Weapon Magnifiers are designed to pair with EOTech Holographic Weapon Sights (HWS), providing added magnification without sacrificing the speed and accuracy of the holographic sight. They are highly versatile, allowing shooters to switch between close-quarters and medium-range engagements. Here's a breakdown of the key EOTech Magnifier models and their features:

1. G33™ Magnifier

The G33 is one of EOTech's most popular magnifiers and offers a balance between compact size and optical performance.

Key Features:

• Magnification: 3x.
• Field of View (FOV): 7.3°.
• Eye Relief: 2.2 inches.
• Mounting: The Switch-to-Side (STS) mount allows the magnifier to be flipped to the side when not in use, giving users quick transitions between magnified and non-magnified views.
• Weight: 11.3 oz (320 grams).
• Length: 3.9 inches.
• Adjustment: Windage and elevation adjustments for centering the magnified image with the HWS reticle.
• Waterproof: Submersible to 33 feet (10 meters).
• Durability: Built to military standards for rugged environments.
• Compatibility: Works with all EOTech Holographic Weapon Sights (HWS).
• Use Case: Best for tactical users needing a compact and durable 3x magnifier for medium-range engagements.

2. G43™ Micro 3x Magnifier

The G43 is a more compact version of the G33, making it ideal for users who want to save space and reduce weight while still getting 3x magnification.

Key Features:

• Magnification: 3x.
• Field of View (FOV): 7.3°.
• Eye Relief: 2.6 inches (slightly longer than the G33).
• Mounting: Features the same Switch-to-Side (STS) mount, allowing for easy transitions.
• Weight: 11.3 oz (320 grams).
• Length: 2.9 inches (shorter than the G33).
• Adjustment: Windage and elevation adjustable.
• Waterproof: Submersible to 33 feet (10 meters).
• Durability: Built for rugged tactical environments.
• Compatibility: Fully compatible with all EOTech HWS models.
• Use Case: Ideal for users who prioritize a smaller, more compact magnifier but still need 3x magnification for extended targeting.

3. G45™ Micro 5x Magnifier

The G45 is a higher magnification model, providing 5x zoom for longer-range engagements while maintaining the same compact form as the G43.

Key Features:

• Magnification: 5x.
• Field of View (FOV): 4.4°.
• Eye Relief: 2.6 inches.
• Mounting: Uses the Switch-to-Side (STS) mount, enabling quick transitions from non-magnified to magnified views.
• Weight: 12.8 oz (363 grams).
• Length: 3.5 inches.
• Adjustment: Windage and elevation adjustments are included.
• Waterproof: Submersible to 33 feet (10 meters).
• Durability: Designed to meet military standards for extreme environments.
• Compatibility: Compatible with all EOTech HWS models.
• Use Case: Best for users needing more magnification (5x) for longer-range engagements while keeping a compact footprint.

4. G30™ Magnifier

The G30 is a more budget-friendly option, offering the same 3x magnification but at a lower price point, ideal for users who don’t need the ruggedness of the G33 or G43.

Key Features:

• Magnification: 3x.
• Field of View (FOV): 7.3°.
• Eye Relief: 2.2 inches.
• Mounting: Instead of the STS mount, it comes with a Fixed mount, but users can still flip the magnifier to the side manually.
• Weight: 9.5 oz (269 grams).
• Length: 4 inches.
• Adjustment: Windage and elevation adjustable.
• Waterproof: Submersible to 10 feet (3 meters).
• Durability: Less rugged than the higher-end models but still robust for regular use.
• Compatibility: Works with all EOTech HWS models.
• Use Case: A more affordable option for those looking to enhance their holographic sight’s range without the advanced features of the G33 or G43.

Comparison of Key Features:

Shared Features Across EOTech Magnifiers:

1. Windage and Elevation Adjustments:

   • All EOTech magnifiers have windage and elevation adjustment capabilities, allowing you to perfectly align the magnified image with the holographic reticle.

2. Compatible with All EOTech Holographic Sights:

   • EOTech magnifiers are designed to work seamlessly with any EOTech HWS, improving their versatility for different engagement ranges.

3. Parallax-Free:

   • Like the holographic sights, EOTech magnifiers are parallax-free, ensuring that the point of aim remains consistent with the point of impact, regardless of eye position.

4. Durability and Waterproofing:

   • The G33, G43, and G45 models are built to military standards, making them highly durable and waterproof up to 33 feet. The G30 is slightly less rugged, with waterproofing to 10 feet, but still robust enough for most civilian and tactical uses.

Which Magnifier to Choose?

• G33: If you’re looking for a durable, compact magnifier with 3x magnification for medium-range engagements and quick transitions via the STS mount, the G33 is an excellent choice.

• G43: For users who want the same performance as the G33 but in a smaller, more compact design, the G43 offers the same 3x magnification with a shorter length.

• G45: If you need more magnification for longer-range engagements but still want a compact and lightweight magnifier, the G45 provides 5x zoom in a similar form factor to the G43.

• G30: For those on a budget or not needing the military-grade durability of the G33/G43/G45, the G30 is an affordable 3x option that still enhances mid-range capabilities, albeit with a fixed mount.

Each of these EOTech magnifiers enhances the capability of holographic weapon sights, giving users more flexibility in target engagement without compromising on speed or accuracy.
