View through my dedicated 4x NV scope (D740 Gen 3 Thin Filmed Autogated unit) at about 100 yds. Intensifier is at about 40%. Pics don’t do it a bit of justice I have a nice PVS14 and just picked up a very nice quality tube for my MUM14, but the view through the scope above destroys them all. I also have a Flir Zeus 50mm 640 which is cool as hell. Below is a shitty time lapse shot through the objective of that scope with a camera phone.

Yes. You don’t need 10 budget ARs. You need NV, silencers and IR aiming.

I want NV but don’t know anyone local with it & refuse to order anything online, sight unseen for $3,000 for openers... 
Plus I’ve been spending my extra cash on training lately... got a 700 yard class tomorrow... after which I told instructor I need to be able to shoot rope off a mans neck... and then I need the government to go back to hangings so I can supplement my income that way.

@TrojanMan let me check his stuff out. Words do it no justice. Pictures do it no justice. Saying "It's a superpower" comes close, but does not describe it. It's Fucking Crazy. I cannot show you how awesome G3 night vision is on the internet. Videos and pictures will not describe it. I laughed like a schoolgirl. I wish I had the words or the pics, but neither does it justice. It's Fucking Unreal Tho, tbh, I dont see much of a reason considering the FOV on gen3 night vision. |

you can get started in night vision, with used units, like from people on ee.
if you have questions, you can go to the night vision forum with specific questions (give as many details as you can for better answers). you can try ebay, but, as someone in the night vision forum has said, some units have problems, but all units with problems end up on ebay. you could probably get a used older gen 3 unit for about $1500-$1800, then a bike helmet, rhino mount and j-arm for cheap off ebay, to get into night vision, then upgrade as you get money |

I got into the NV game with a green phosphor high end tube in 2013. Last year I upgraded to a WP no film unit. Much less eye fatigue and better picture.
This summer I bought a Triji REAP thermal. Un Believe Able. |

A good bellwether is to watch the .mil and upper funded .gov types.
When you see them using digital imaging in place of image intensifiers, that's when you'll know it's about to change. The way the two capture and process light are so different, it's going to take some serious advances to put "cameras" in the realm of head worn for awhile. |
