SHOT Show is coming up in a little more than a week.
What do YOU as the consumer want to see in the way of NV, thermal, optics, etc? Edited title per suggestion further down in thread... |
|
I'm going to shot for the first time,,
I would like to see, more affordable Night vision, $1000 and under that,, works well, |
|
Cheaper housing kits and cheaper IR lasers.
No reason for the cost of some of these items. More competition! A decent bino housing with no glass should not be over $1000. |
|
More rifle IR LAM modules. Steiner and BE Meyers are pushing pretty good. L3/Insight REALLY needs to come out with something better than the ATPIAL-C.

Fusion devices: Goggles, Scopes but at realistic prices.
A reasonably priced NV Clip-On that is not a boat anchor that works with day scopes in the 1-8 X range that incorporates or allows it to be used with flip to the side mount like Wilcox offers. or a A D/N scope like the old Litton PVS-10, but obviously in a much smaller package. Variable would be great but if fixed 6X max. A PVS-14 that can be mounted in front of a day optic without having to resort to hanging all those extra lenses in front like the Torrey Pines. You asked |

Gain control on more housings. It has a place & I miss it on my binos. Smaller form factor LAM's, moar powah. Surefire V series with no less than 600 lum on the vis side, better, smaller, smarter form factor dual button tape switches. Glass that gives more FOV. More "affordable" COTIs

This gun in an aluminum framed CCO model...

I wanna see the new digital sensor war kick off and Sionyx get some friendly competition. Maybe a "V2 Aurora" with better helmet mount/clipon/dedicated sight functionality
|
|
I am excited about:
(1) Pulsar Trail XP75 (2) Pulsar Thermion (3) TNVC cheaper LAM that has already been teased |
|
Sionyx f1.2 lense upgrade, Sionyx fusion sensor.
More details on the Bushnell Night Chase laser+illuminator. |
|

I want more BNVD competitors to the PVS-31 and DTNVG. Also an even lighter Sentinel type setup, no IR.
|
|
Night Vision Devices light weight 16mm image tube binos, optics I e-coti and remote battery pack, anything new from trijicon, and thermal products with sensors greater the 640x480

RNVG are right at 1,074.99 from Glynn nvincorperated.com View Quote If it was that price with glass, it would make much more sense. I know we have an extremely niche hobby (or profession for some) but think about what you can buy for $1000. Once you add the glass, you’re looking at 2k. |

Flir to unfuck the pts series. The 6x 736 is bizarre. The 536 barely fits the parameters of a everyday hunting scope at 4x, which seems closer to 5. 60hz is gay.

is shot show open to public or invite only? View Quote I think a lot of people think it's just a big gunshow- just walk up pay $10. and go in type of deal. Unfortunately it's not. Everyone I know is like "oh your going to Vegas what fun!" I'm thinking I only go to Vegas for WORK!!! You get a helluva lot of walking in as well though :) |

1. The LAM that TNVC has been teasing at being affordable, and it'd be really nice if it had better performance than the A3 and Atpial C.
2. A lightweight and shorter PVS 14 objective lens option to pair nicely with the Dep Ether eyepieces. It would make a really nice compact package out of lots of bino options. 3. I want a REAP IR, and I think I want one with an automatic shutter. That's something that's holding me back, maybe it's not as big a deal as I think. 4. An out of band LAM for use with Intens tubes. 5. A cost effective or at least just civilian obtainable UTM-X style thermal. 6. A PVS 14 or only slightly longer sized i2 clip on with mil spec acceptable POI shift, a 50 or 60mm objective lens, that costs around 5K. And has a really good tube. 7. A 640 x 480 breach that has a better helmet mounting rail or just a dovetail on it, and has the bugs worked out. Or maybe just skeet ir's for everyone. 8. A cable that runs from my MAWL to my Surefire DF that allows me to control both with the buttons on the MAWL when in Vis mode. 9. A more affordable E COTI option. 10. And since JRH asked this question. A Double A version of the triple A UL binos, that has a removable battery pod like the Triple A version does... With AUTO gain. I bought DTNVGs this year, but I would have bought this instead if it existed. Also, I'd love to win the lottery so I can buy all this shit in one order.... |

A Ir laser/Illuminator that runs on AA ideally make it dual fuel so it can run on cr123a and AA
A new version of the TAPS pro switch that is completely modular ie can swap plugs for streamlight Steiner Y cable ect. Streamlight to come out with a V series for there railmount lights Streamlight to come out with the equivalent of a DS00 switch Affordable fusion goggles/monocular |

I would like to see something comparable to Gen 3 Night Vision at $1000 or under, so it can reach more consumers.
|

The L3 Carbine Infrared/Visible Laser, aka CIVL
Yes, I'm still salty they didn't make both the ATPIAL-C and the CIVL. |
|
I want a SF Vampire (600 series) that has a brighter head. IR that can reach 400-500 and a white light that illuminates equally well. Focusable would be nice.
Running a carbine with just that light and a red dot sight would be awesome and simple and on some rifles you could totally skip the lasers. Make the bezel have three detents for focus and have the rear battery cap twist for high or low power, that would be awesome |
|
View Quote There is usually a LOT of those out at Shot also. Only time I darkened the door of the ATN booth out there was about 5 years ago when they had 4 hotties in black vinyl catsuits out standing around... |
|
Things I'd like to see get debuted would be IR lights that you can focus the beam on. Other inline options like the cqbl-1 with just an IR or laser or IR/Green.
Things I wanna check out would be mtek helmets, newer flir thermals, rnvg and mini bnvd. Maybe see those ether lenses. |

Quoted: The manual shutter on the Reap is nothing. You nuc it twice at start up and you’re pretty well done. View Quote |
|
A 1280 thermal scope.
But I'll settle for a 640 Boson scope or Breach. |
|
|
New 640 core thermal monocular PVS-14 sized/weight mil-spec type build under 6K
New IR laser/Illum combo in that 500-650 range |
|
Anyone see the new Noveske scout light mount? It's a replacement ATPIAL mount that integrates a single cell surefire body. Pretty nifty.
|
|
An dual tube set up the you can rotate up like the DTNVG with detachable monopods like the MOD-3. Add ANVIS mount compatibility cause why not, its already a pipe dream
|

Gave up hope on dreaming. Not expecting revolution. More powerful and affordable fusion option is a pipe dream.. Maybe one of the 2?
kind of like dreaming a price drop on the MAWL... how about cheap fusion between super digital night vision and thermal? The fusion Oakley's are just arround the corner. |
|
Would like to see Ruger with a .357mag. carbine, sort of like their old .44mag. deer carbine, only with about a 15rd rotary mag. at an affordable price.
With small affordable night scope for those coyotes. lol. |

Semiauto ARX-200 & cal conversion kits for the ARX-100.
I'll be on a skiing vacation in hell, so someone post pics so I can check on my phone while I'm riding the lift. |
