CHAPTER I
1.1 PRESENTATION
The Aimpoint MPS3 with the MGM mount is a rugged, passive, red dot sight
developed mainly for use in demanding applications on medium or heavy
vehicle-mounted weapons under all light conditions. Its simplicity of use,
based upon the “One Function Principle” allows the user to concentrate on
the target and operate the MPS3 and MGM even with thick winter gloves in
the dark. The MPS3 with MGM combines the superior accuracy and ease of

life and increased ruggedness through reinforced design.
Aimpoint red dot sights are designed for the “two eyes open” method of
sighting, which greatly enhances situational awareness and target acquisition
speed. These sights also feature unlimited eye-relief and are compatible
with all generations of night vision devices. The MPS3 features extremely
low power usage, and with the ability to use either alkaline or lithium AA size
batteries provides an unequalled battery lifetime.
The MGM mount is made for use in MIL STD 1913 Picatinny Rail applications
and has integrated windage and elevation adjustments for zeroing of the
MPS3 as well as an integrated, 3-step ballistic compensation adjustment.

The MPS3 with MGM mount is designed for installation on most types of
medium or heavy support weapons, which have a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny Rail.
First, remove the Recoil Stop (2) by screwing it counter clockwise. Then loosen
the two Screws (1) for mounting to the Picatinny Rail.
Assemble the MPS3 with MGM mount to the weapon Picatinny Rail by sliding
