Introduction to CAT Sight
Excellent sighting instrument at close ranges
(up to 200 meters) based on test results. Most
effective sighting instrument for NBC environment
4
Introduction to CAT Sight

• Several years of research, test and evaluation
  were needed to develop the final CAT Sight design
  which is
• Best backup sight to optics (ACOG)
• Allows total use of peripheral vision
• Quicker targeting
• Discourages tunneling

5
Introduction to CAT Sight
The CAT Sight is significantly superior to the
iron sights that are now issued in the US
military, ergonomically designed, portable,
durable and affordable,
6
Introduction to CAT Sight

• Depictions of current iron sights and CAT sight
• Target as seen through conventional iron sights
  and the CAT Sight
• 1. Leaf sight with barrel post seen through two
  sight posts
• 2. Circular peep sight with barrel post
• 3. CAT Sight with circle in circle targeting

Circle in circle design facilitates increased
accuracy. CAT Sight never obscures target which
is easily acquired in the center of the shooters
vision effectively increasing confidence and
accuracy.

CAT Sight Design Benefits

• Remarkably more effective in nuclear, biological,
  chemical (NBC) or close quarter combat (CQC)
  environments
• Circle in circle design allows shooters to more
  quickly and confidently acquire their targets
  while stationary or on the move
• CAT Sight can be effectively used by our troops
  through protective masks which is nearly
  impossible with conventional sights
• Protective gear obstructs shooters from
  positioning their eyes in line of conventional
  iron sights
• Optical scopes result in reflections on the mask
  shield which can render targets indiscernible
• Resolves canting issues when sighting through a
  protective mask
• Faster target acquisition and accuracy over
  current iron sights
• Superior main or backup sight to lensatic sights
• Proven to be several times more accurate than
  current iron sights
• Can be easily deployed while using an ACOG
• Both eyes can be easily employed at all times
• Quicker targeting as tests have proven
• Maximum use of peripheral vision
• No tunneling
• Friendly combatants are identified before they
  can get in the line of fire
• Enemy combatants can be seen outside of this
  scope while targeting
• Faster target acquisition and accuracy translate
  to more lives saved

8
CAT Sight Design Benefits (contd)

• Portable
• Only 4 oz
• Front and rear sight fold for easy stowage
• Fits easily into NBC Mask storage container
• Better ergonomics
• Head is always in its natural position, straight
  up on the shoulders
• Dont have to tilt the head over the rifle for
  sight use/target acquisition
• Much easier to acquire target while moving
• Saves Lives
• Quicker reaction time in targeting
• Confidence in targeting translates into more
  targets hit diminishing the threat environment

9
CAT Sight Design Benefits (contd)

• Increased accuracy
• Traditional sight design (rear peep with front
  post or leaf configuration) obscures the target
  and leaves some room for interpretation which
  increases targeting inaccuracies for the average
  soldier (especially under battle stress)
• Circle in circle design never obscures target and
  increases shooting confidence and significantly
  increases shooting accuracy which is supported by
  objective test data
• Adaptable
• Currently fits all M16/AR15 series weapons
• Can be easily accommodated to other shoulder
  fired weapons, even shotguns
• Accommodates both left and right handed users
• Front and rear sights are easily adjustable
• Saves Lives
• Quicker reaction time in targeting
• Confidence in targeting translates into more
  targets hit diminishing the threat environment

10
CAT Sight Design Benefits (contd)

• Durable
• Sight is built of 6065-TG Aluminum, Hard Coat
  Anodized to mil standard 8625 with American
  Patent
• Virtually indestructible unlike much more
  expensive active optical sights which
• Are complicated
• Have contrast problems in bright lights
• Use batteries which wear out causing sight
  failure
• Have lenses that damage easily
• Affordable
• Low cost and maintenance
• 145-175 per sight vice similar costs for
  inferior iron sights
• No hazmat for CAT Sight
• Hazmat related to other sights incur additional
  costs for disposal
• Low NRE cost to adapt other shoulder fired
  weapons
• Shorter time to increased competency reduces
  ammunition usage and subsequently operational
  costs
• Simplified sight mechanics shortens training time
  and resources
• Saves valuable time and ammo with increased hit
  ratio

CAT Sight Live Fire Testing Results

• Marine Corps
• Controlled test in 2006
• 5,000 rounds of ammunition
• 95 Marines
• 2,500 rounds utilizing sight and 2,500 rounds
  without
• Test at Annapolis MD, Naval Academy
• Moving exercise overseen by unit leadership
• Marine Testers validated and documented a 300
  improvement in accuracy over the conventional
  sights used
• Translates into 3X less ammo usage!
• Many sights were bought by individual Marines
  after this test using their own assets but a
  unfortunate bureaucratic impediment has kept
  these important enhancements out of the Marine
  inventory
• Army and Law Enforcement
• Testing by Army and National Guard at Unit Level
  with laudable results
• Limited purchases by Army Soldiers for deployment
  in Afghanistan and Iraq also with enthusiastic
  feedback

CAT Sight Testimonials

• "Targeting can be difficult with the M16 or AR15
  however with the GincVision Sighting device, you
  will enjoy hitting your targets with much more
  ease! Wearing the NBC mask and having to target
  has almost been next to impossible until I used
  the Ginc Vision sighting device. I will
  recommend this sight to all my friends! Major
  Gerard Thomas
• I love this M16 side mounted sight it works as
  if you are using a video game with your M16!
  Great for room clearing operations and NBC.
  Sergeant Vallejos
• "I am a recent customer and I am very happy with
  the results I have gotten so far (ease in
  targeting with increased hits)." Master Sergeant
  Sambrano (retired)
• "Been really pleased with my 175 worth of
  targeting device - I've had an amazing number of
  hits. Allows me to target with increased
  visibility and yes no batteries!" CW5 Gaudet
• "A 200 improvement in targeting! Not bad!"
  Major Salazar
• This side-mounted sight has been a lifesaver for
  me! In October, I was deployed and in the 12
  months Ive seen a huge increase in hits from my
  weapon. It's the best 175 of equipment Ive
  spent during my deployment. It really works! A
  great backup for lensatic sighting devices!"
  Marine
• "Id like to share our delight with your idea and
  the impact it had on our weapons training. As
  soon as we learned about the Side Mounted
  Sighting Device we purchased one sight for 175
  dollars. Overall, our targeting with this sight
  made a super shooting experience! Police NM

CAT Sight Testimonials (contd)

• "Been really pleased with my side mounted sight -
  I've had an amazing number of hits!" MSG Baker
  (Marine)
• For a relatively small outlay our hits have
  increased almost 2 fold in a relatively short
  time. Great product which really works! Every M16
  user should have this product.Very impressive
  for short range NBC targeting! Sergeant Major
  Judd Baker, Fort Knox, KY !
• "We were very skeptical about targeting with a
  side mounted sight, even though we had so much
  positive feedback. The actual hits are
  undeniable! To say that we were surprised with
  the results would be an understatement. Hits
  increased with an average of 300 during our
  shooting event with 95 Marines. We are still
  measuring the impact this had on targeting."
  Every M16 in the military should have one!
  Thanks, Major Daryl Hill, Marine Corps
• "Our hits have increased! Initially, we utilized
  the side-mounted sight for a bit of fun as well
  as experiencing a new technology, but now we are
  looking for this product to be a mainstay with
  M16 targeting. We'd like to congratulate Ray and
  his team and say thanks for helping us improve
  our M16 targeting! (National Guard)
• "While waiting for Army Soldiers at the test
  range, my 12 year old daughter Nancy asked if I
  could teach her how to shoot the AR15 with the
  CAT Sight. After providing Nancy with the
  instruction, she fired with remarkable accuracy.
  She indicated that firing with the CAT Sight made
  her targeting extremely easy. The CAT Sight works
  well whether you are an novice or expert
  shooter!" LTC Ray Gabaldon (Army Retired)
