put my new G2 on my AR15 and after shooting it doesnt work
I think its the bulb as the batteries were still working
Should I get a new flashlight like the P6?
can the G2 handle the recoil?


PS where can I get bulb and flashlight for a good price

Some people will say "Told ya' so!"

I am running a G2 and never had problems with out the Z32 bezel, but went ahead and bought it anyway. This is even firing with the light turned on. I also took a piece of clear packing tape and taped my batteries together to keep them from slamming into each other. I think the G2 with Z32 bezel is a good entry level light for those on a budget. With the Z32 bezel's shock absorbing properties, the spring at the bulb, the spring in my pressure tapes tail cap and the batteries taped together I think I'm safe. I also use two standard Weaver rings for mounting, butted up to each other ,to help with vibration.

First thing to ask is - Are you SURE the batteries are still good?  If you somehow inadvertently let it get activated during storage or transit you may have drained the batteries.

I've got pictures to show what the Z32 bezel, the weapon lights, and the taped batteries look like:

Even if you get a Z32 shock bezel, your G2 still might not make it as it was NEVER designed to be a weaponlight. It is a roll of the dice to say the least. I have seen many that last and others that didn't make it after one round...
