If you're on the fence about the MAWL I'd suggest snatching one up sooner rather than later! Availability is good, at the moment.  All I can say about that!

The civilian and restricted military/LE restricted models are made on the same line, and military orders take precedence over consumer market demand, etc etc.

So hint hint big military orders coming soon?!? lol

I tried to take some more NV photos of the MAWL to get a better representation of this things super high performance.

Let me say it is very difficult to get good NV photos of it in action at any of the setting since the IR Illuminator is so very bright.

On Low it sends out a 180 degree beam that lights up the entire area from your feet out 150 feet or so, everything is lit up.

On Medium it sends out a concentrate bright beam that makes it difficult to get the laser dot with the camera, even turning down the IIT Pinnacle gain, it still over powers the camera.

On High it is next to worthless to take a NV photo of the super intense highly concentrated IR Illum beam wipes out most of everything.

Fortunately it looks beautiful through the PVS-14s with zero problems, simply outstanding and most excellent everywhere all the time no matter what. It most definitely rules the roost of civvy IR lasers, blowing away anything else I've ever used. The Illuminator is similar to my LDI SPIR but even more concentrated and way more than any of my DBAL-D2s or DBAL-A3s.

I guess the IR Illuminator needs more camera lens speed to cut down on the intense IR light overload.....?

Anyway, here are some representative pics on each of the three setting at 200 yards with and without a USGI 3X Magnifier:

Well, I was looking to get a peq-15 but I think the next $2500 I have is going toward on of these.  

Has anyone had the balls to krylon one yet?

Both of us had suppressed SIG 716 .308s with FLIR thermals and 150 grain SPs.

Large Loner Boar Hog shows up out of dense woods into the open 75 yards in front of us, target with thermals and countdown 1,2,3....

I shoot and boar is knocked over with a loud WHACK when .308 pill hits him, however he gets back up and and is limping into a nearby dense jungle brush.

No shot from my buddy, his rifle missfired with a dud reloaded shell.

Get out and both of us search with helmet mounted FLIR M-24 thermals and FLIR XR hand scanners for an hour with no thermal signatures sighted.

Get back home at 4:30AM and crash.

After sunup, headed back out to canvass area to try to discover where the wounded boar bedded down for the night, figuring he would be dead.

Had my KAC-15 with Truijicon ACOG, BE Meyers MAWL dual beam laser on Green Vis, two magazines of 556 77gr SMKs, and my SIG P-226.

Hiked out into the dense brush and began transecting the area back and forth using the FLIR InstaAlert checking for heat signatures.

About to give it up after an hour of hiking back and forth in and out, when I stepped out of a thick bristle brush right on top of the hog bedded down 20 feet in front of me.

He got up and ran into even deeper thicker woods thicket with me getting off five quick shots at point blank range into his side and [beeep] as he disappeared again.

Circled the thick brush trying to see him with no joy for thirty minutes.

The sun was occluded and I was on the verge of getting lost in the dense woods but kept slowing walking around a dense thicket.

Suddenly he came charging out at me from 40 feet, with Green Laser on his head I shot him 10 times and he went down 25 feet from me.

Shot another five rounds into his neck to sever his spine and I finally had him dead at my feet.

Now I was a quarter mile or more deep in the woods pretty much almost lost as the morning sun was obliterated with dense clouds.

Tried to walk straight back out to forest grade to the ATV but that was impossible.

Somehow made it back out to the grade and hiked down to ATV and returned to my marked spot where I had come out.

Driving the ATV in there to get the hog was a nightmare and extremely difficult getting hung up everywhere and getting lost again.

Had to come back out to forest grade twice and reenter to try to find the dead hog where I had left him.

On the third try I finally saw him, roped him on the hitch and put in in 4WD to drag him out.

After overheating the ATV, finally made it out to the grade and headed a half mile back home in 1st gear 4WD.

Thank God for diesel engine power and tractor hydraulics as I finally got him winched up in the barn about noontime and he weighed 410 pounds on the scale, hams are 40 pounds each.

Great Beer but difficult to hold butcher knife and beer in same hand!
