I learned today that it was invented in 1900 by a man named Howard Grubb. I had no idea the design was that old.

I knew they were around for WWII as I read up on the Auto-5s that had similar sights installed to train AA gunners, but I never would have guessed it predated WWI!

This thread was inspired by a video by The Great War on YouTube. Go to 3:54 to skip to the segment about the red dot sight:

I've said it before  and I'll say it again. In the world of red dot sights, there's Aimpoint and there's everyone else.
