[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Airsoft grade IR devices on real guns? (Page 25 of 36)
|
Quoted: Off topic but has anybody tried one of the metal MAWL clones out yet? Curious if it would be ok on my scorpion. They're not in the same league as the SomoGear stuff. Given the heavy recoil impulse in the Scorpion, I highly doubt that unit is going to hold zero. |

Just played around with a recent (delivered this wk) unit and compared it to the year-ish old one I have on loan. Literally everything is better. Adjustment screws/knobs are far more tactile, illum adjustment is larger and feels better when adjusting, laser is cleaner than my Perst (ouch), and there's a general solidity that isn't there on the older unit I've been fooling around with. Still a bit on the fence when it comes to reliability but the old one keeps on ticking. Unknown round count on my friends rifle and approaching 1,000 on mine. |

Quoted: @dog1 What caliber/platform did you shoot? Quoted: Quoted: I finally got mine out to the range yesterday I put about 300 rounds to it after initially zeroing it. No problems held zero no issues at all with it I'm very happy so far What caliber/platform did you shoot? .223..10.5 SBR |
| Not sure if we are allowed to post pics anymore or not. I got my last week and installed on my TP9. Took it to the range today and only put 150rds through the gun. I had already had the IR laser aligned to my Eotech at the longest distance I have. So will need to check it again tonight to see if there is any shift. |

I think we're still good to go, as these aren't direct clones/stealing IP. Assuming I followed the Goatboy thread correctly.... I really want to see it on your TP9, so please take the chance

Very cool. How’d you mount he tape switch on the other side? Or do you just use the onboard fire button? |
|
Quoted: Quoted: Post pics, mods will remove if they deem it verboten. Looks good. the blue screws, are they in the stored position currently with the' active' position being installed on the rotary switch? |
|
Quoted: Not allot of real estate on that rifle. Looks good. the blue screws, are they in the stored position currently with the' active' position being installed on the rotary switch? That is the "use" position. When they are in the dial you are blocked from the higher output settings. |

Seems about the perfect location for a tape switch on an MP-7 like gat Big question, would you buy another? |

That is my grail PDW. One day I’ll have one all dolled up. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5N83gCi1Ic At about four minutes in. Guy mentions that it's got IR setting. I wonder what the tech is in that and I wonder how robust it is. Considering alot of players are using GBB (gas blowback) rifles I would imagine that the thing may be rated to handle some shock. Shrug. Could be kinda neat. |

PTS mawl has been coming soon for like 3 years. I think pts's stuff is officially licensed vaporware. |

Quoted: Debating whether to order the IS NGAL or IS PEQ. Which would you guys recommend. Specs look the same, sway me one way or the other. $300 or so difference in price. Based on timing i say the peq. Im still waiting on my NGALs after a while and even with communication he still takes longer on them than the peqs. Someone on here talked to him and stated in his thread that the guy said peqs are easier to assemble and the NGALS sucks to do. |

Quoted: I ordered 4 to test, will make a youtube video on it. Gonna run them on whatever I can find. Scar 17 is in the works. The SCAR will be interesting, just as long as there are 5.56/.300BLK and maybe 9mm PCC too. The SCAR kills a lot of stuff, and I think most of us are not saying "jUsT aS gOoD", just "good enough for what I need". |

| Found a used WADSN Perst 4 on facebook, so i picked it up for my krink. This thing is so close to a 1:1 replica, and it is very bright. Cant wait to put it through its paces this weekend. Pictures |

The SCAR kills a lot of stuff, and I think most of us are not saying "jUsT aS gOoD", just "good enough for what I need". I agree, and yes i have a rattler and a real deal mk18 to test it on. then scar 17, i dont really have any other platforms so i may hand one to a buddy of mine to abuse with whatever he has. I want these to be a viable alternative, not some hobby laser for $900. I expect them to perform. I have FP peqs and they are fine but i like the form factor of the ngal. I want navsea LA5D performance without paying navsea LA5 prices my idea is if it can handle its time on a mk17 itll be fine wherever else I intend to use it. I spent most of the money on tubes so i dont feel like being forced to spend fp peq prices to outfit every gun with IR. It would cost a fortune |

The SCAR kills a lot of stuff, and I think most of us are not saying "jUsT aS gOoD", just "good enough for what I need". It is 95% of the capability that comes with a hard to find in the secondary market, expensive, that a manufacturer won't sell you nor service for you unit - at under 10% of the price. I literally don't care if the lasers are co-aligned. I care about having access to a good illuminator and a laser that holds zero. L3/Whoever could sell me a full power unit; but they can't, and won't. Give me a good option and I'll buy it. |
