You do learn from these mistakes. Luckily they are cheap replaceable items. I had a perspex protector shot out and had to replace that, but it did deflect the BBs enough to only lightly chip the lens.

I went with the mentality, ah well it's a £25 red dot and costs £9 for the protector. 36% of the value of the red dot... so what are the chances?
Now I know.yea i didnt think this was such an issue then someone next to me had their holo shot out so went and bought one after the game. for the price id rather have and not need then need and not have. id imagine you can have replacement sheilds made by somewhere for not too much money

Make your own with perspex and a Dremel, very satisfying!

I bought one for less than a tenner and figure I can easily make the shields as necessary. But the RIS mounting, well I'm not making one of those

Fair enough, I didn't like the 'look' of them on my rifles so made a couple to fit infront of the lens out of 5mm perspex.... Nothing is getting through that!
(But then again I do like Dremeling stuff....)

Just remember that if you make your own, put an o-ring between it and the real one if possible or all that energy will find its way onto the bit of glass/plastic you want to protect anyway.
I'm with you though: Those RIS things are beyond ugly and should be avoided. Cutting your own from 4/5mm Lexan is ezpz.
