A red dot sight, also known as a reflex sight, is an optical device that allows the shooter to quickly and accurately acquire and engage targets. Unlike traditional iron sights, which require the shooter to align the front and rear sights, a red dot sight projects a small red dot onto the lens, which the shooter can use to aim the weapon. Red dot sights are popular for use on rifles, pistols, and shotguns, and are particularly well-suited for close- to medium-range shooting.

Red dot sights offer a number of advantages over traditional iron sights. First, they are much faster to use, as the shooter does not need to align the front and rear sights. Second, they are more accurate, as the red dot can be placed precisely on the target. Third, they are less fatiguing to use, as the shooter does not need to focus on both the front and rear sights. Finally, they can be used in low-light conditions, as the red dot is still visible even when the target is not.
