Maybe ok with subsonic ammo. Might not be a good idea with supersonic ammo. Honestly I just mount mine onto the helmet instead of the rifle. It's better that way. I can walk around and navigate a lot easier. Use an IR laser on my rifle for aiming.

.300blk supersonic doesn't kick any more than a hot loaded 5.56mm.
The thing is just a 5.56mm case cut back by 10mm and a .308 round stuffed in there. |

I had the option of mounting mine. I elected to get a weapons mounted laser instead and have been very happy. That way I can use my helmet and device to walk around with.

I have the option of using a laser, as I already have my PVS14 helmet mounted in a dual setup. However, lasers aren't legal for hunting in my state.

Now most .223 have longer barrels that make them heavier so they tend to kick less than the 300BLK that usually has a shorter lighter barrel. |

Here's a past thread on the discussion. http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_18/371716_PVS_14_with_300_AAC_Blackout_subsonic_and_supersonic_recoil.html The recoil you perceive is not the same as the weapon shock that travels through the rifle. Regards David. |

Ok I'll clarify this once an for all.
An L3 OMNI 8 tubed PVS-14 can handle the recoil of 300blk/6.5G/6.8SPC/7.62x39 an ITT Harris Pinnacle Tube being a thinner film is recoil rated only to 5.56mm While you can mount a PVS-14 on a rifle behind certain optics the system was designed to be worn on a helmet and works best in this configuration. |

Thanks for that info! But what about OMNI 7 tubes? I haven't made it to an 8 quite yet,

To the argument above... yes 300BLK supersonic has more recoil than a 5.56

I guess the human shoulder isn't a precise scientific instrument. Having shot both, full and semi auto, I can say I can't really tell the difference but we're talking on tuned guns with optimized gas systems and buffers. But I can see that these things might have a subjective impact, but not really change the fact of the actual energy generated by the round. Good info. |
