On this 2BGP episode, Alexander and Chris try to wade through the world of optics to figure out what the general purpose is for each type. There is just so much to choose from and so many different types in an ever-increasing market, so the guys thought it was good to sit down and have a 101 discussion on glass. 

Skip ahead to these timestamps if they spark your interest:

00:50 We've had optics for a minute. 
04:30 Drilling down to modern rifle optics
05:25 Not overly complicated: Meet the prism optic
07:20 LPVOs: Great on 10-pound pistols?
11:50 First "Donut of Death" reference: Holographic sights
14:15 Second DoD reference
16:10 Third Donut callout. (We promise the guys aren't sponsored by EoTech.) 
16:50 Red dots. 
20:20 Thermals are the way-- just look at Ukraine. 
22:40 Don't sleep on just a simple Romeo 5. 
25:01 IR and NV are getting better and more affordable every day. 
28:50 Will Holosun make jetpacks next?

Keep your glass cleaned and your batteries fresh, guys!
