Well, nothing. They just wanted a name that they could trademark that wasn&#8217;t already in use. So go ahead and make up your own acronym.<\/p>\n<p>It may be hard to see how a pistol red dot sight could be exciting, but if you&#8217;re into this sort of the, the new Aimpoint COA has some really neat features. Specifically:<br \/>* Really excellent mounting system that fixed the problems of recoil lugs and screw holes into the delicate bits of pistol slides<br \/>* Improved software with things like automatic brightness step-down to maintain battery life<br \/>* Reduced width, essentially taking the Acro and removing the outer shell.<br \/>* Automated assembly, to reduce end user cost.<\/p>\n<p>The project has been a collaboration with Glock, and so Glock has the exclusive use of the COA for the first year, starting now. After that, Aimpoint will release the A-cut specifications to industry for everyone else to use. <\/p>\n<p>Disclaimer: I don&#8217;t have a COA myself, unless they decide to give me one after this video publishes. I went to Aimpoint on my own dime (thanks, Patreon!) to film the funky and cool PDW they built in 1979 (that video is coming soon), and they asked if I wanted to see the secret new thing while I was there. So of course I said yes, and this video is the result.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/utreon.com\/c\/forgottenweapons\/<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.patreon.com\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/www.floatplane.com\/channel\/ForgottenWeapons<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! <a href=\"http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/shop.forgottenweapons.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>All the best firearms history channels streaming to all major devices:weaponsandwar.tv Let me first mention something that I didn&#8217;t cover in the video: what does &#8220;COA&#8221; stand for?
