Hey, I was wondering if putting a 4X magnification ElKen(G&P) on my gun would be worth it. Is it too much magnification for an airsoft gun or what?

Gerkraz · November 27th, 2009, 08:10

No, not really. Elcans and Acogs are pretty common.

I actually love my magnification, It has helped me a great deal.

4x is the most powerful that you can really use on an AEG. Anything above that is useless. In case of the Elcan, I have the CA Elcan M145 replica sight on my C7, and it's great.

i've read bad things about the g&p brand elcan on this forum. You might want to look into this before buying.

Huangs Elcan is pretty damn good for the money, I do not own one though, so I can't speak for it's durability. I viewed it at TAC09, and I was impressed with the optics.

I use a 4X scope on my SVD and I can't stand it.

I find 4X is FAR too much magnification for airsoft.

That's what I though it would be...haha. I think I'll just go with an Aimpoint or EOtech...too bad the EOtechs don't work well outside, kinda narrows it down to an Aimpoint.

They work fine if you get a real one....

warbird · November 27th, 2009, 15:56

yeh...haha. Even the Hurricanes work ok outside, but they're more than what I can justify to pay for

I have a G&P Eotech, it is fine outside except in the very brightest of conditions. Then I find using the tinted lens in my goggles helps.
