    Poor Man’s MAWL

    Something I’ve been mulling over for a few days is what would those in the know say about a separate IR illuminator and IR laser run on a dual tape switch as an alternative to what’s on the market today. Theres a huge gap in price and performance from...

    Night Vision Poor Man’s MAWL

    Sounds like if I go the Modlite 850 route with filter, I may have enough power to push through enough light at the right spectrum if I was interested in truly going dark. I saw JW Ramps video showing downrange performance, and it seemed to blow the MAWL out of the water in both spill and...

    Night Vision Poor Man’s MAWL

    Also, anybody with experience with the Modlite 940 head? Is it really only good out to 75 yds? I'm not entirely sure I really care as much about a visible glow from the 850 head...if I'm searching or trying to PID with the light, then that means I'd be orienting the gun towards whatever threat...

    Night Vision Poor Man’s MAWL

    Agreed on instant white light, although I plan to approach it differently and run my Modlight at 10:30 with just the tailcap that I can activate with my thumb. The 12:00 CQBL would be paired with the illuminator at 1:30 or 3:00 and whatever the appropriate tape switch would be...which can be...

    Night Vision Poor Man’s MAWL

    Having a Low Output IR illum is an interesting thought that I hadn't considered, but why ATPIAL C over DBAL A3? Everything I've seen is that the illuminator on the A3 is better and you get the green laser with it. I'm considering the CQBL for a few reasons: 1) Form factor (size/weight) 2)...

    Night Vision Poor Man’s MAWL

    Thanks, I missed that thread and will read through...I've seen you recommend the Luna a couple different times and was aware of it. How does the Luna do at closer range and providing spill? Everything I've seen is it looks slightly more diffused than a laser and throws extremely far, but not...

    Night Vision Poor Man’s MAWL

    If they could shrink down the D2 to an acceptable size, I'd be all over it. That thing just looks like a brick sitting on top of the rail. This light/laser setup will be for a 12.5" AR, and I feel like that would totally throw off the "sleek-ness" of the SBR for everyday handling even with it...

    Night Vision Thin filmed vs Filmless white phosphorous.

    @Victor-TNVC would y’all be able to source a 14 in filmless WP with at least 2000 FOM?

    Night Vision Thin filmed vs Filmless white phosphorous.

    The part about needing less IR Illum to light up stuff is what I was wondering in the back of my mind and very pertinent to the ability to be able to aim passively and not need IR Illum all the time. would you say that if you’re going to use a civ dbal A3 for example, you’ll be able to see more...

    Thanks @SkyScrapin I kinda figured that would be the case.

    Night Vision Thin filmed vs Filmless white phosphorous.

    So for you guys with experience with the Filmless, couple of questions (all pertaining to WP): It seems like filmless is recommended more for rural (no ambient lighting) conditions while thin filmed is suggested for urban mixed lighting. How does filmless perform in that urban setting? Does it...

    S&B vs. Hornady Brass Quality (6.5 CM)

    If you’ve used both, how is the quality between these two brands? I’m not set up for reloading 6.5CM yet but want to start shooting with my new CTR sooner rather than later. Thinking of either getting the Hornady American Gunner 140gr OR the S&B FMJBT 140gr as some cheap plinking ammo which...
