A holographic weapon sight or holographic diffraction sight is a non-magnifying gun sight that allows the user to look through a glass optical window and see a reticle image superimposed at a distance on the field of view. The hologram of the reticle is built into the window and is illuminated by a laser diode. Holographic sight are mostly manufactured by EOTech.

— In-game description

In Insurgency, the Holographic Sight is the reflex sight available to the Security faction. It is based off of the EOtech series of holographic sights. The holographic sight can be attached to all Security primary weapons in regular play and onto Insurgent weapons in CO-OP. When compared to the Red Dot, the Holographic Sight is more suited for CQB fighting as its casing has less view obstruction.
