While Maztech debuted this at SHOT Show 2023, they came back with a refined system. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maztechindustries.com\/x4-fcs\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"maztechs-crazy-new-optoelectronics-shot-show-2024\" title=\"Maztech's Crazy New Optoelectronics -- SHOT Show 2024\">X4-FCS<\/a> is a groundbreaking Fire Control System that seamlessly integrates advanced ballistics with state-of-the-art optoelectronics, promising to improve first round hits in time sensitive environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-maztech-x4-fcs\">Maztech X4-FCS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The scope mount\/computer known as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.maztechindustries.com\/x4-fcs\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"maztechs-crazy-new-optoelectronics-shot-show-2024\" title=\"Maztech's Crazy New Optoelectronics -- SHOT Show 2024\">FCS<\/a> boasts advanced ballistics. It also delivers instantaneous information through the shooter&#8217;s preferred optic increasing situational awareness. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This game-changing system achieves this by employing sensor fusion within the LPVO (Low Power Variable Optic), compiling inputs from different parts of the firearm into a single visual presentation within the optic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be hard to visualize, so I posted a video looking through this optic to my instagram page below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/C2lZPBQLGg0\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
