I do not want to hijack this thread, but could you post why this sight is a boat anchor on the NV forum www.ar15.com/forums/forum.html?b=6&f=18 or the lights and lasers section? This is one laser/sighting system I have not used. Thanks much!

Sure. We were issued them in Iraq in 2004. The ones that we were issued didn't have a NV IR laser but did have a visible red laser. The red laser wasn't bright enough during the day time to use and I wouldn't want to use a visible red laser at night....gives your position away.
It uses one (IIRC) AA battery and we couldn't get the battery to last more than maybe one patrol and that was a patrol that was less than 6 hours.
The dot is very faint in the bright light of the desert and almost too faint to see.
It's very bulky for what you get and the price is stupid!!
