The EOTECH HWS EXPS2 Green Reticle is a high-visibility, professional-grade holographic weapon sight, primarily deployed for high-speed target acquisition, tactical competition, and hunting in bright daylight environments. A common friction point with standard red aiming dots is reticle washout or slow visual pick-up against glaring backgrounds such as desert sand, snow, or direct midday sun. EOTECH eliminates this field bottleneck by incorporating a green laser projection system optimized for biological human vision, which perceives green roughly six times faster than red. Utilizing laser transmission holography, the sight projects a crisp 68 MOA ring with a 1 MOA center dot that stays in simultaneous focus with the target downrange for rapid, both-eyes-open indexing.
The technical advantage focuses on maximizing upper receiver rail real estate while maintaining instant access to controls across 20 daylight brightness settings. Featuring left-side pushbutton controls, the EXPS2-0GRN leaves the rear face completely clear, allowing operators to run flip-to-side magnifiers or backup iron sights directly behind the glass without blocking access to power adjustments. Mechanically, the single CR123A lithium battery is mounted transversely across the housing rather than inline with the barrel. This perpendicular orientation isolates the battery contacts from direct forward and backward recoil forces, eliminating power flickering and contact crush during rapid semi-automatic or automatic fire.
Beneath the shatter-resistant optical glass, the chassis is encased in a hard-coat anodized aircraft-grade aluminum shroud designed to absorb severe kinetic impacts and heavy drop forces. Built with an integrated 7mm raised base, the unit elevates the optical centerline to provide a lower 1/3 co-witness with standard AR-style iron sights, keeping the primary viewing window clear of obstruction. Mounting is handled via an adjustable, locking Quick-Detach (QD) throw lever that snaps securely onto 1-inch Weaver or MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails. Waterproof to a depth of 10 feet (3 meters) and nitrogen-purged for all-weather fog-proof execution, this compact optic delivers rapid daylight target acquisition, exceptional zero retention, and absolute field reliability.
Key Features
- High-Visibility Green Laser Reticle – Projects a green 68 MOA ring with 1 MOA dot reticle engineered for significantly faster human-eye acquisition in bright conditions.
- Compact Transverse Footprint – Side-loading CR123A battery orientation occupies just 2.75 inches of rail space while isolating battery contacts from heavy recoil forces.
- Left-Side Pushbutton Controls – Side-mounted button panel ensures full operational access when paired with flush-mounted flip-to-side magnifiers or backup iron sights.
- Integrated QD Throw-Lever Mount – Built-in adjustable QD lever with locking safety tab provides toolless mounting, rapid removal, and repeatable return-to-zero hold.
- Lower 1/3 Co-Witness Height – Factory 7mm riser base places backup iron sights in the lower third of the viewing window for an uncluttered sight picture.
