Probably. But I sure don't think it is any better than an EOtech or Aimpoint. |

The MARS optic is basically an AimPoint with an IR laser attached/built on to the optic. It's a standalone version of the XM8 optic concept.

It has a built in IR laser, thus you will never have access unless you are mil or LE INFO Pic of it already in use in Iraq:   Photo credit to IronBalaclava |

ir lasers are restricted? why? they can't be that hard to develop. not that civvies would need one, but i'm pretty unlikely to need my bayonet lug, either. |

IR's are used in the millitary so you can shoot with Night vision on, like it was stated above, there would be no need for you to use it unless you plan on shooting with night vision on.

There is in GA!!! You can hunt feral hogs at night with no more than a 9v power flashlight. So I would guess on a technicallity if the IR didn't use more than 9v you are golden!
