@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 Update: themollusk's recorder was running whiskers discovers nods |

I have ir security cams. My house is a glow when I walk around the yard at night.

I've gotten to play with NV quite a bit, but I can't afford my own for the foreseeable future. It's pretty cool!

It’s cool, gen 3 is sharp enough the monocular becomes like a green colored peephole you can use to see in the distance without thinking about something being in your face

I'm not your man.

Found a pair of Fujinon G3 binos at optics planet on closeout for $14,999. Guess I should go be poor somewhere else...
|
|
Lol. Now go look at all your gear in the dark. See what glows bright white.

@pirkle let me use his pvs-7 while I was there. They work really well.
Thermal for spotting. I3 for target ID Or so I've heard. I'm to poor for either. |
|
ill tell you whats freakier is being out on the back 40 dark as shit, 33 miles from nearest town, and your thermal picks up faint bootprints in the woods that arent yours.
|
|
Agreed.
I thought, "What's the big deal", then I tried my friend's PVS-14. Saved up and bought a tube and parts kit because I had to go be poor somewhere else. Gen 3 NV is amazing. |
|
I got to do some coyote hunting with a friends .243 LMT that had a Gen 3 NV tube in front of the scope and holy shit was that the most pew pew spacegun shit I have ever done.
|
|
This is true. I went from a crappy gen1 unit to a really nice Gen3 three weeks ago and now I get all the master race stuff. It's like you have another sense.
|
|
I started to save for a pvs14. probably even unload some Ars and a bolt gun to help my progress.
I've never had a chance to try any but figure if the pictures and videos are anywhere close then its going to be worth the wait saving up. |

I've said it for years.
I try to convey it EVERY time someone gets on here with a gen 1 toy saying, hey, it works! Good enough for me! That's because, online images and video do shit justice to what Gen 3 offers. ESPECIALLY with good objectives. You can barely see, or not see at all and BAM! It is like green daylight. Once you've seen through good NV, you'll never be satisfied with anything less. |

I'm so paranoid about a major tech purchase. Knowing my luck I'd buy a gen 3, then a gen 4 would come out a day later.
Hell, I barely use the "technology" I have right now. Most current game system is a Nintendo 64, and I haven't touched it since 7th grade. I carried 5C, AN-PVS 14 and 7D nods, along with some type of flir in the service, was always fun... but as a civi now, uncle Sam isn't footing the bill anymore for my toys. Can't (as a general cheapskate) rationalise buying 'em. My 401K needs more funds than my safe. Glad you guys are having fun though, enjoy! |
