Looking to buy a x300u (alpha model) and I have a few questions:

Planning to mount at the 12 o' clock on my ar (I have a 15" rail on a 16" barrel) will I have any barrel shadow?
What kind of beam is it-I'm using a scout fury and it's got a huge spill but the throw is limited-how far could I ID someone (and at what range would I be able to see hands)?
Anybody ever have issues with how I want to use it?

Thanks!

What kind of beam is it-I'm using a scout fury and it's got a huge spill but the throw is limited-how far could I ID someone (and at what range would I be able to see hands)?  The X300 series lights have quite a bit of spill to them (they are designed for handgun usage).  Figure 75-100yds (maybe a little more) realistic PID range.

Anybody ever have issues with how I want to use it?  Nope, my HD rifle has the same setup.

Thanks!
