The primary use of the HWS® is for the M4A1 carbine and CQBR in Close Quarters Battle. The
HWS® is not however, limited to carbines. The HWS® is currently employed on medium
caliber machine guns, grenade launchers and less than lethal projectile launchers. The
sight provides a 1X (no magnification) sight picture and is not designed as a long range
sight system, however, it can be used as effectively as iron sights on targets to 300 meters.
The advantage of the HWS® is that it provides the operator superior shooting performance,
rapid reticle-on-target acquisition, full field of view and accurate shot placement. The
HWS® can be naturally employed by all levels of users, from novice to the most highly
trained operator.
