Aperture Sight



The Aperture Sight is a precision sight with an open view around it. There is a black cross-hair with a fairly large black dot center. This sight is useful for quick acquisition of targets and keeping scoped in while still being able to monitor the surrounding area. It provides the same amount of zoom as iron sights, but with increased peripheral visibility. The aperture sight is useful for medium range sniping and medium to close combat. It is often seen on the STG-44, as the low recoil makes it relatively easy to home in on a target with the aperture sight attachment. The Aperture Sight does not actually lessen recoil, so recoil is a bit more noticeable when using different weapons.

The Aperture Sight is similar to the Red Dot Sight in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This is only unlocked by completing Marksman II Challenges (75 Kills with weapon) with Rifles and SMGs. The bullet(s) will then shoot where the black dot is currently pointing at, as is the case with the red dot of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Trivia

 * The Aperture Sight raises the users aim, so when the PPSh-41 is being fired, less expelled gas is visible than without the attachment.
 * If the player puts an Aperture Sight on a SVT-40, its front ironsight will be removed.
 * An Aperture Sight seems to some-what light up dark areas a bit. This is most obvious in Makin.
 * When placed on the MP40 with Bandolier, the player starts with 160 rounds of ammunition as opposed to 192 without it.
 * This attachment is commonly called the black dot sight, due to it functioning like the red dot sight.
 * This attachment is not seen in third person.
