Full Power Lasers for Night Vision (not worth it) 

The fire pit killed the video… but I definitely got the message

Great video, the reflection from the fire is really an issue though. But the your point is definitely made.

You’ve got the goddamn coziest night range I’ve ever seen. Too fun.

Good video. I have the tlr vir 2, I like it for my first unit. Going to get more next year. Side note: that fire glare was a bit annoying but enjoyed the video overall.

On one setup Im using a Holosun LS321G and the IRL/IL is perfect for CQB distances; on another setup I’m running a Holosun LS117IR and a Surefire M340V connected with a Unity TAPS Sync and it's a pretty decent pairing. Holosun lasers in my experience are fairly clean, low bloom dots that can easily be seen out to 200. For the distances I'm shooting, the Surefire is enough illumination. I'm looking at the KIJI K1 3 degree for another setup as its illumination is damn good. If that is out of your budget then the LUNA ELIR IR Laser illuminator is probably the next best for the money.

Good stuff, been runnin a holoson ls221g dual laser in conjunction with a surefire scout 600 vampire dual fuel for almost 2 years now. It's worked out really good for my budget.

I have a Steiner 9007 IR laser/illuminator. The laser works great to 300 yards (+?), illuminator only "okay" to 100 yards. I only have 300 yards to shoot @ so a more powerful laser feel like overkill. Steiner laser paired with the surefire IR scout light, it works great for my range, the scout puts out a lot more IR illumination. Thanks for putting out helpful content as always guys, not everyone has thousands to throw around to buy gucci gear, but still shouldn't waste their money on crap.

Next time please don’t use a fire.

As said before, the fire definitely killed the vid, maybe stand in front of it so it doesn't blow out the picture. it was hard to see the illumination. Also, slightly annoyed that this vid was on the page for the d2 but the d2 wasn't shown. Definitely was a great show of how much stronger a FP unit is tho.

PEQ-2 for life

Thanks for the explanation!

Went with a PERST and haven't looked back.

The Holosun 321G Rocks!! BTW my Coyote Reaper XXL illuminator lights up the darkness at 800 yards in the AMAZING ATN LTV!! 🤠👌

I got my Russian lasers for the same price as the Holosun equivalent; arrived 2 weeks after the order. Steiner's horrific QC convinced me to buy foriegn made, despite my normal preference for American made.

Great content. Dbal d2 has a very nice illuminator and can be purchased by anyone

I have a TLR-VIR which I bought for Regular Light and IR Illumination finding out the IR Illumination was only good for indoor use. I purchased an IR Cap lens for the Regular Light turning it into an IR Illumination light and it throws light out into the woods a lot better, can't even use it indoors. I've been meaning to check if there's a Regular light I can cap with the IR lens that has a IR laser.

Nice fire pit placement

That DBAL is almost embarrassing

Nice rundown, thanks! New sub.

I will say I agreed with you completely until I went to a Hades Cunstulting night vision course. Myself and several other students struggled to see C zone steel targets past fifty meters. The guys with full power units crushed it. There was a decent amount of humidity along with dirt/dust in the air. Really changed my mind.

I want a night vision scope for Hogs.

You can find full power units. Get a full power. Running two separate systems is cumbersome and un necessary. The illuminator is key. You spend the money on night vision spend the money to make your kit work best. Like buying a 6k nightvision and mounting it with a $100 Chinese mount.

I want a MAWL

Awesome equipment

Am I missing something? You did a video on IR based stuff… without showing the viewer what it looks like through NODs? I mean, I can take your word for it on what it looks like, but that’s not the point of a video.

civilian class lasers are fine,u dont need a full power because ur not gonna be painting targets for air assets or the other things the military need them for. the civi ones are fine and u dont have to worry about frying peoples eyes because ur not trained up on them like an operator would be.

That fire fucked the entire video lol 😂

Counterpoint, the civ IR lasers/illuminators will predominantly if not always get washed out by white light

Laser unit +Kiji the best option other than a MAWL or Perst?

Ive been eyeing that weltool ir head. How does it compare to an ex ir 250?

would have been nice if you told us MW output for each example

i want a lightsaber laser

Huh, interesting...

The fire makes it utterly impossible to get a true evaluation of the products. It must be done in total darkness.

I recently ordered a Perst-4 through Ivantactical. Shipped out of Russia. Took 8 days from the day I order it to the day I recieved it.

Be Good for Hog Hunting !

Lol yeah, let's make a video filmed with night vision, but let's make sure we are standing next to a fire so it's all blown out.

WTH!! Your fire pit is screwing with your video 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

What is going on with the lighting in this video? lensflare go brrrrrrrrrrt

Civilian lazers are drastically too weak on the illumination side to be functionally useful

Lmao you think somone should have paid you for that content?

You can get full balls to the wall 50mw DBAL i2's or A3's for 700-1300 all over right now. At that price, it's hard to accept any argument about combining a Kiji with your choice of laser. Shit, I even have a couple machine guns that have death star lasers that are 500mw, and those scare the shit out of me. Still, you don't need to spend 5-7k on a FP Wilcox RaidXe or MAWL DA, just get a FP DBAL and you're good. Laser based illumination will always be superior to LED. With low laser and high illuminator on my DBAL i2, it is more than functional and perfect for blasting hogs or shooting on a flat range at distance. If those deals do dry up, I agree that a Kiji or Weltool IR head with whatever laser you want are the way to go. Also, never buy a civilian PEQ15, they are dogshit.
