Does anyone know how effective the Tennbraex killflash device is in preventing detection of your optic by human or other electronic methods? Are there "cons" to having this on your Aimpoint? Thought I saw something about the killflash making use of irons more difficult, but there isn't much on the Forum about the killflash. Who likes the killflash and why do you like it? Thanks in advance.

| It takes away the glare from the lenses. At first it kinda bothered me, because at least for me, it darkened my image ever so slightly. But after I stoped worrying about it, it stopped bothering me. Personally, I really do not think there is any real use for one if you are a non-special forces-type person. I am never "man-hunting" so I am never really concerned who can and who can't see a glare on my aimpoint. Verdict: Cool Factor, but not really great. IMHO. |

Been using mine for years..
- acts as a cheap disposable cover that protects the lens ( I don't run a cover) - Gives excellent contrast on a bright sunny day with Snow on the ground so the dot is quicker for me to pick up. Most people sit and fixate on the dot.... Look at the target (left eye) and put the dot on the target (Right eye) and you put the bullet where you want... real simple.... |

Thanks for the replies and I understand what you are saying. There is some evidence that .mil and leo have optoelectronic means of detecting optics quickly and from a distance. As a good guy handling a rifle mounting optics in a bad social situation...you might get "popped' just for being there. Was wondering if the Tennebraex would be sufficient to disguise the optics from this technology. Maybe I should have been more clear about my question, but I figured people in the know would understand my concern. Yea...for hunting and paper punching, who needs one.
