red dot sight
Electronic reticle sight
A red dot sight is a type of optical sight for firearms that projects an illuminated red dot onto a lens, allowing the shooter to aim by placing the dot on the target.
Unlike traditional iron sights, both the target and the aiming point remain in focus simultaneously.
Red dot sights are popular on handguns, rifles, and shotguns for faster target acquisition: He mounted a red dot sight on his pistol.
