A few years ago, CoD was great fun, and Ironsight shows why. It plays like an early 2010s CoD game. It has plenty of weapons and drones for you to have fun with, and the action is fast-paced. Ironsight is easily one of the most balanced F2P MMOs that I have played in a while and sets a stellar example for F2P MMOs.

Optics removes a difficult variable from the sight picture problem: focus. With irons, you have to correctly align the rear aperture and front sight post. In other words, rifle length iron sights are better about this than carbine sights, but neither is as quick or intuitive as an optic.

Even better, red dots and fixed magnification optics like ACOGs work better when you focus on the target. Don’t take any of this as me saying that iron sights are terrible and you shouldn’t bother learning them.

What’s the difference between carbine sights and optics?

The shorter the sight radius, the worse this effect becomes. In other words, rifle length iron sights are better about this than carbine sights, but neither is as quick or intuitive as an optic. With optics, that problem is taken off the table.

What sighting device should I buy for my AR-15?

If you’ve read my article on selecting your first AR-15, then you might recall my suggestion on sighting devices: If you have the funds to buy a quality optic right now, either red dot sight or magnified scope, then go that route.
