Airsoft players love to customize their weapons with optics. There are literally dozens different styles, makes and models, but they all share one thing in common: they aren't bullet proof. And if it's a replica optic, it's not even BB proof. Which is why you may want to invest in an Optics Protector.

The eAiming Optics Protector comes in plain, rather flimsy green box. Inside you'll find a Optics Protector which is a plexiglass plate, screwed into a picatinny compatible mount, and a spare, yellow-tinted, plate.

The stock plate is covered in a blue-tinted, coating to keep the plexiglass from getting scratched. You should peel this off before use.

Any leftover bits can be removed by loosening the hex screws which also allows you to switch out plates.

The protector mounts in front of your optics, camera or tac-light. The hinged mount allows you to drop the protector out of the way should you need to.

Simple. Effective. And at $15, a lot cheaper than a broken holosight.
