Aperture Sight
From the Call of Duty Wiki
The Aperture Sight is a precision sight with an open view around it. There is a black cross-hair with a fairly large black dot center. This sight is useful for quick acquisition of targets and keeping scoped in while still being able to monitor your surroundings. It provides the same amount of zoom as iron sights, but with increased peripheral visibility. The aperture sight is useful for medium range sniping and medium to close combat. It is often seen on the STG-44, as the low recoil makes it relatively easy to home in on a target with the aperture sight attachment.
The Aperture Sight is similar to the Red Dot Sight in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This is only unlocked by completing Marksman II Challenges (75 Kills with weapon) with Rifles and SMGs. The bullet(s) will then shoot at the black dot, as is the case with the red dot of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Using the Aperture Sight also increases the aim down sight speed of a weapon.

[edit] Trivia
- The Aperture Sight in World at War is fictional, and serves mainly as a successor to the Red Dot Sight in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare's multiplayer. In real life such a device is not practical.
- The Aperture Sight does not actually lessen recoil, so recoil is a bit more noticeable when using different weapons.
- The Aperture Sight raises the users aim, so when the PPSh-41 is being fired, less expelled gas is visible than without the attachment.
- In reality, an aperture sight is a sight where a hole, an aperture, in the rear sight is aimed through to see the front sight, such as on the M1 Garand or the M16-series of assault rifles.
- If you put a Aperture Sight on a SVT-40, its iron sights will be removed.
- An Aperture Sight seems to some-what light up dark areas a bit. This is most obvious in Makin.
