I keep buying guns that cost half as much as decent NV. If I'd just stop buying more guns I could get some but I just feel like I'd never really get to use it. Which is a dumbass take on my part. The night vision would be invaluable whenever things really kick off and a well sorted PSA is equally as lethal as a Gucci AR.

[@germansherman9395]

I know the somogears are a meme but I’d like to add a story about mine. Got mine in December of last year and put around 1k-1,300 rounds down range with it. Never lost zero and I didn’t baby it. 1 week ago I went shooting in the rain, I’ve done that before with the somogear and it was fine but not this time. When I pressed on the tail switch the laser would turn on but act like I double clicked and then wouldn’t turn off unless I pressed the button on the unit. Took it home, dried it off, and now it doesn’t work with tail switches anymore. Button on the unit is fine and all other functions are working as they did. Just no more tailswitches. I contacted somogear and I was unfortunately 10 days past the 6 month warranty period, they won’t replace it but they offered me a 40% off discount. Annoyed but it is what it is for chinesium stuff. Might hold onto tbat 40% off for when their new ngal comes out and give that a test. Being aluminum might make it more user serviceable.

C tier on the real list we're chilling bro laser optic and light on my PSA rifle whole setup costs less than the MAWL and we're good to go (I do not own night vision)

[@Nighttimeduck]

Peq15A definitely belongs lower on the list, max of C tier. I had both the original peq15 and peq15a’s in my arms room, about 15 examples of each. The 15a would burn out lasers randomly. I don’t think I had one that was fully functional by the end of time at that job. Every single one had at least one of the lasers burned out. To be fair they were taking a beating on government issued rifles and were already old when I got there but the original peq15 did much better. The only problems I had with the original peq 15s were cracks from asvab wavers torquing them to 100ftlbs with a leatherman, or completely shattering from major damage that also deadlined the rifle itself or the individual carrying it.

Fairly impressed for the fuck around unit that it is. It’s hilarious to compare the beam against a FP Dbal, the high setting on the somogear is barely brighter than the low of a real FP unit. But regardless, it does work admirably for what it is.

A bit struck when Hop just put the EIR illuminator in F tier automatically without ever having tried one just based solely on the concept.

Your guys in your team can differentiate what you're pointing at with your laser when giving fire commands and direction, couple that with putting your laser on high mode with the illuminator on you can differentiate it even more, especially when aircraft are involved or when coordinating with other units who aren't organic to yours.

Totally absurd, but after 2020 I can't help but feel it's a real thing I want.

My go-to setup now that I can swap between guns is the Holosun LS221G and a Surefire M640V. M640V just takes a flathead screwdriver and can mount to the top rail, and the Holosun is QD.

What about a tier list for muzzle devices? Could stick with one type, or you could just rank all the major ar-15 muzzle deviced. A tier list for optics would be nice too. Especially LPVOs

[@FirearmEnthusiast]

I love you guys, but the XVL2 is clearly designed for handguns. In that space it is the clear S tier unit. The PEQ-14, X400V-IRC, and Steiner DBAL-PL aren't anywhere near as good.

[@TheRealMelinko]

It would have been nice to have the names of the products with the pictures 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@JoshDerenburger]

Perst 3s are $2130 now??? Dang j remember when they were $1500. Dang. As a lil fun fact, got mine in the mail the day before the Ukraine invasion

[@daxkent5054]

Stayed the whole way thru, thank-you, very informative. Unfortunately it's even worse for us north of the border. Our options are Somogear or Holosun.

[@Chuckinglead]

Would and ir laser without illuminator work for 9mm pcc since ita mainly 100 yards and in?

[@basedWisco715]

I’m leaving this video with more questions than I had coming into it 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@chriscollins5762]

I got a DIR-V for the same price as a D2. I dont understand why yall are saying the DIR-V is unreliable when steiner products are notorious for falling apart.

[@kireduhai9428]

10 months later this video is even sadder. The division between "LE ONLY" lasers and otherwise has only widened and all the good ones have only gotten about 3x more expensive.

[@xSimplyx233]

So... My full power an-peq15 has a december 2022 manufacturer date

[@rlovell383]

Just got a DIR-V in the mail today after a 3 month wait for the new redesign. I bought based on your glowing first review. Hope it doesn’t suck. At least everything works out of the box.

[@tjwest13]

Happy with my 2020 MAWL, but damn does the current market suck as a whole

[@awsomedude9111]

I bought a Perst-2 before the prices went up, but never got night vision. It’s really powerful but it’s similar to a Luna Elir-3. It’s basically a illuminator that can screw into a pin size IR laser.

[@docternoblex]

Why can’t manufacturers make an IR unit that is affordable and isn’t made of ABS plastic? It seems like all are made that way

[@MTMind69]

What about the surefire vampire combo with a separate paired laser?

[@biggwigg338]

Im the 3rd guy who will buy an OGL (I don't even have NV or a job currently lmao). Come on Eotech

[@JamesReedy]

Don't know how you D tier the A3 but B tier the D2. The only thing the D2 has going for it is a ton of IR output but it's also the size of a soda can. IMHO the A3 has its place inside of 250 meters or so.

[@nurse-dude]

D2 to rule the world.

[@ExplorinInTheWoods]

Whenever you guys get together it’s autistic screeching and hop being pessimistic and black pilled. Ass facts uses big words and is at least semi positive.

[@ddbb6721]

I know you do care about kids they will here many cuss words but my son and I will not watch your videos because of cussing has no advantages only downside

[@ryanwolfe9794]

When you spend $1200 on an atpial-C and it gets ranked even with a somogear :(

[@MrBlessedninja316]

Sample size of 1, but my tlr-vir ii has held zero perfectly after several drops and many thousands of rounds of 45 acp.

[@wyldechild7122]

Ironically I was messing with my misc box of parts 2 days ago and decided to cobble together a poverty pony special, broke the screw (threaded end snapped in half) while tightening on my VIR II. Really wasn’t sending it home either… but also no issues with zero shift. I still think it’s a great budget combo for IR capability, especially with a code4defense focuser.

[@williamreynolds3487]

Idk why I'm here lol. I can't afford any of these, and NODs (at the moment anyway).

[@Solidous281r6]

I’d like to see this updated with the new somogear ngal. And the new batches not the first. I’ve gotta say I’m really impressed with build quality

[@racker7855]

Dude they will crap on it. They didn’t even give the peq any credit. Said it’s a toy.

[@MrDustinclement]

Just to mention to update Hop’s info because I used it maybe 6-8 months ago lol but Kosher/Custom NV has been out of 9007’s for months unless something changed in that time. I checked several months ago when you mentioned it and they were gone then and then checked again a few weeks ago and they were gone. Also, the B&H photo email me a price is also still going but it’s $1399 now. Still a great unit for that price in my opinion even with the size. I was out shooting a 2021 Peq-15 tonight and my D2 and honestly… I much prefer the performance of the d2 at least for what I do. Just hate the damn size man!!! WE NEED OGL! Cool video by the way

[@BrassFacts]

then I guess they've finally sold out. :(

[@MrDustinclement]

@@BrassFacts I know man I felt the same way. I was like man Hop and Brass Facts always go on about these 9007’s I guess I’ll get one and throw it on a fun gun… nope lol
