Maybe even run my timer and compare the differences between the carbine and handgun. It sounds like spreadsheet time. I feel like Sheldon Cooper getting ready to write up some sort of contract agreement.

One of the limiting factors of a magnified optic such as the ACOG, is that it is not ideal for close
quarters battle and multiple targets. To address this concern, one of the latest variants, the TA31F,
includes a red chevron aiming point, which uses the Bindon aiming concept. Under the Bindon aiming
concept the shooter keeps both eyes open and engages a target in a similar manner to the M68 red dot
sight. The red chevron is illuminated by tritium for nighttime use and fiber optic for daytime use. In
theory, the bright red chevron is similar to a red dot scope. At close distances, a shooter will
unconsciously transfer the red aiming point and unmagnified image presented by his non-dominate eye
into one picture to engage the target. One of the flaws of the Bindon aiming concept is that it relies on the shooter having the same
vision in both eyes. If not, the system does not work and the soldier is limited in using the optic in close
quarters battle. Additionally, the system works well for one target but is very slow if transitioning
between multiple targets, as the soldier will have to focus on the threat, un-focus, and re-focus on the
additional target.
