Help a noob out here; what lasers are used in conjunction with NV? Green? IR? I have two very powerful (200 to 300mw output, bitches will light matches) green lasers, and I'm interested in knowing if they have any practical application with NV. Thanks,

Wes
 
Re: Lasers and NV

Green laser light cannot be seen well by some animals, so it can be useful for hunting at night. You illuminate the target area with the laser and use your normal "day" scope. You can mount the laser illuminator on your rifle for "point and shoot." There are some commercial green laser illuminators designed for this application.
