    Night Vision IR Laser/Illuminator advice

    @TheHorta what kind of usable range do you get out of the SF Vampire?

    Night Vision Dual Band Vs Dual Tubes + COTI/Handheld

    Thanks @jeffl838 I had a conversation via PM that was very similar to what you outlined. I was starting to discount the COTI based on YouTube videos I was able to find, and the fact that you can’t use it unless attached to a helmet worn NVD. It didn’t impress me that much by watching the vids...

    Night Vision Dual Band Vs Dual Tubes + COTI/Handheld

    Thanks for the discussion guys, lots of good posts and a lot to digest and make a decision.

    Night Vision Dual Band Vs Dual Tubes + COTI/Handheld

    @TheHorta thanks, so reading in between the lines, the COTI would be more appropriate for my use? I’m considering just going all in with binos (BNVDs) if I can swing it. I’ve got a helmet now and just need the IR laser/illum and NVG mount

    Night Vision Dual Band Vs Dual Tubes + COTI/Handheld

    @GBMaryland yeah budget is definitely not unlimited. Looking for the best value with whatever I buy but I do agree with the “buy once” mentality. I’m likely looking for thin film Elbit tubes if going with binos or L3 UF WP if going with a PVS14. The thermal part just depends on what fits the...

    Night Vision Dual Band Vs Dual Tubes + COTI/Handheld

    Didn’t want to derail any of the other threads touching on these subjects, so I’m hoping I can finally wade through all the options I’m weighing and avoid wasting a ton of money as I finally pull the trigger on the NV game. First, this forum has been a great resource learning from some...

    Night Vision PVS14 vs RNVG

    Best logical reasoning I’ve seen yet @WhereNow&How makes perfect sense.

    Night Vision COTI vs china skeet, with a little twist

    Well this thread took off...referring to my question back on pg.1, I guess I was trying to determine if using a dual band setup would aid movement and target ID (situational awareness) and target engagement in a faster paced environment similar to how a Bino NV system does compared to a single...

    Night Vision LPVO and Night Vision

    I’m assuming this is for head worn NV (PVS14 or dual tubes) so my understanding is that you’d need a piggyback MRDS or possibly an offset MRDS. Although I don’t know if offset would work unless you have a tube over your dominant eye (offset on right hand side for RH shooter). My other question...

    Night Vision COTI vs china skeet, with a little twist

    Can you expand on this? Say you’ve got a pvs14 bridged with CoronaSkeet, would you pop off or swivel out the MH25 and run just NV if needing to do CQB stuff? Or can you run the system as duals and have as good or better performance as a single pvs14? Does any of that change if you’re moving...

    Night Vision Bridging PVS14 and Thermal?

    Thanks @The King good copy, I need to get behind this setup sometime soon to see how it works for me.

    Night Vision Bridging PVS14 and Thermal?

    Question for the dual band bridge setups... Do you gain any "depth perception" or "spacial awareness" like you would with a dual tube NVG? I'm also wondering what is the ideal environment where this setup shines? Is it best for rural vs urban? Or does it not matter and it's just better all...

    Night Vision Best Value Ballistic Helmets

    @TheGerman Interestingly enough, the guy with the Revision helmet is a SOF guy and said something similar. I guess there’s some things I need to try out for myself, but how much does 1 lb make? For a higher tier ballistic helmet, you’re somewhere in the 2.5lb range...for Bump, 1.5 lbs. Also...

    Night Vision Best Value Ballistic Helmets

    @WillHugh I have a Revision Viper P4 high cut incoming for me to try out from a new friend of mine. If I like it, he may sell it to me. Any experience with Revision? How is their suspension system? Seems like it’s different than what’s mostly out there in the market.

    Rifle Scopes SHTF LPVO?

    I had a SWFA 1-6x and while it had surprisingly good glass for it's price point, built like a tank, and had a very bold donut that attracted your eye to the center, the fine crosshairs and dot in the middle were a little too fine to pick up QUICKLY for a precision shot at the in between...

    Rifle Scopes SHTF LPVO?

    Short answer is yes...better question is why would you do it this way?? Set zero for supersonic and dial for subsonic.

    Night Vision Best Value Ballistic Helmets

    Thanks for the responses guys. I agree that Chinese isn’t the route I’m looking for. Too many reports of out of spec rails/shrouds and their ballistic protection is suspect IMO. I also don’t know enough about used/mil-surplus armor to be able to sift through the BS that’s out there. I’m not...

    Night Vision Best Value Ballistic Helmets

    Happy Independence Day guys! I’m starting to piece together a NV setup and looking to pick up a helmet first. Wanting to go ballistic for the occasional shoothouse class or other general preparedness. I’ve been looking around and weighing what’s actually available with the price and features...

    Night Vision Poor Man’s MAWL

    Thanks all for the dialog here, definitely some things I’ll take into consideration @WhereNow&How when you push the “fire” button on the DBAL A3, does it activate with tape switches plugged in? In other words, if I had a similar setup where I planned to use the Modlite IR 850 head and A3 Laser...
