TNVC doesn't like civvies having full power gear. We might hurt ourselves. Or the children lol 🏴

[@Kypreparedness]

@@SkeezyFPV well, considering when you order a full power laser it comes direct from mfg and not from tnvc. So regardless of what tnvc approves of, the mfg won’t ship to a non-governmental entity

Good video. Informative. Only complaint is I wish you would have showed a close up of the device's when you started talking about them individually. Keep up the good work.

[@hateferlife]

Imagine thinking civilians or former Service Members/LEOs don’t want IR aiming lasers. It’s been a long slog but I’m happy we’re getting the market to move! Edit: I want to thank you for supporting AR15’s vids. Also, RailScales LEAF for a mounted fixed front sight option on the DBAL is good kit, imo.

@Emmanuel Goldstein it's not a garbage government that we have but the people we've moronically placed in those positions. I had the rare opportunity tonight to drive a new coworker of my wife's home. He's been here about a month from zimbabwe. We had a great conversation about REAL shit governments. That dude from zimbabwe loves the United States and wants to join the airforce and I told him about my time as a Marine. For the record and to settle any and all disputes: we may bicker back and forth about who's more badass, Marines or Army but if you ask anyone from any other nation, particularly shitholes in africa and the ME they know hahahahahaha.... semper fi, gents!

The FDA allows class 4 lasers as long as they have safety features to prevent going to full power by accident wicked and sanwu lasers sell 7 watt lasers the world's strongest handheld pointer for $200 -400, The firearms Industry has been lacking when it comes to lasers

[@byrdentertainment7765]

Because they’re visible lasers, but they don’t allow Class 3 IR lasers due to them being labeled as a regulated medical device. But yes you’re right you are able to go buy a class 4 visible laser.

[@Heywoodthepeckerwood]

Not IR lasers. Only visible.

[@VIPK9]

Guys look into this 1W IR handheld laser called "IRX7" it comes with a FDA certification because it requires a key to activate full power, we need something like this for guns.

[@VIPK9]

@Emmanuel Goldstein I need that hard to find plug for the wilcox raptor to hack it. my buddy had his flashed and unlocked to full power, but the company who was doing those services got sued. He also had a mawl X1 that was flashed to class 1 low power only by BE meyers so it's possible with mawls.

[@nyballer31]

Surprised BE Meyers is the only one to get in the civilian game with next gen lasers, also surprised Steiner hasn't worked on a smaller varient of the D2.I know other priorities exist like Military contracts but one thing is for sure there is a very high demand for these type of devices no matter the cost.

[@paolosulit4441]

L3, wilcox, and others know that there is a market for these lasers, they just probably don't care.

[@corruptionoutdoors]

I’m sure they can make money doing a civi based laser but do they want to do the support side when a 1000 people have nit pick issues.

[@utvwerxoffroadfabdesign4172]

@@paolosulit4441 Wilcox has class 1 powered RAIDs available. You are correct with L3Harris however in that they truly just don’t care about the civilian market and love to war profiteer with Uncle Sam with this never ending conflict in the Middle East. We just about had to go on strike to get them to release PVS-31’s and PANO-18’s to the commercial market. I’m not sure why they were so hesitant but I truly believe that night vision isn’t such a special niche market anymore.

[@TheFlea1987]

Would have liked to have seen a comparison under nods. I'm split between a DBAL-D2 and a MAWL.

[@practicepractice5719]

I’d get the MAWL if $$$ isn’t the issue. The D2 is quite big and obtrusive. The MAWL is really nice and out of the way. FWIW

[@jordant8187]

Buy once cry once

[@jimmyvalhalla1939]

Gun thots did a comparison between the mawl, the d2 and perst 3. Inn a nut shell, they didn’t think the mawl was worth the money over the d2. The d2 is thiccc, and you can see a glow from the IR illumination led, but only if is directly pointing at you. The perst is full power, and getting it repaired may be very iffy. You cannot export it back to Russia legally so it’s a touchy situation. I’ve been thinking atpialc and running a scout vampire to give me a little more illumination since I’m gonna need a white light anyway

[@tacticalenough6334]

@@jimmyvalhalla1939 I run a vampire tied into a perst 4 for 1 button activation and it works great up to 150 yards. Now I want a perst 3.

[@Andrewy27]

Save up for MAWL. WORTH. IT.

[@rshinn8776]

For led IR illuminaters does more mW = more better?

[@jimmyvalhalla1939]

Steiner needs to update the D2 with a much smaller illuminator with a 950nm led. The D2 is great for a civ device, but it’s just too big and heavy

[@joeguerra8377]

Can you guys do a video on TNVC TORCH PRO MK.III INFRARED ILLUMINATOR please

[@trundelingporpoise2404]

I was at a training event where the D2 illuminator got a teammate kilt in da streetz. FOF event, "bad guy" (with no nods) is hiding in thick brush, guy with D2 activates his unit to search for the target, doesnt get a positive fix on location, but "bad guy" saw the red glow from the illuminator and was able to quickly eliminate the "good guy"

[@Lifechanging99999]

Your friend lacked light discipline.

[@ComedyAintPretty]

That's an argument to use a handheld illuminator instead of the one on your carbine unless you have actually identified a target. Then you turn the illuminator on, scan, turn off, move. Turn illuminator on, scan, turn off, move.

Is there an ir laser that can handle the recoil of the Scar 17?

[@nikanor8152]

Yes. Most full power "mil/le" lasers should be fine but I wouldn't use a Perst, Holosun or other lower end laser. There's also a Navsea marked LA5 specifically meant for the Mk17

@@nikanor8152 i actually have broken a Atpial C/peq15 on the Scar and I cant get my hands on the LA5 NAVSEA Peq as I dont have access as I'm not LE or military. I have been trying for a while.

Only LA5D NAVSEA units are SCAR rated. Not even MAWL, NGAL, RAID can handle it. NAVSEA units have a unique laser engraved logo on the underside, a chunkier battery cap and reverse battery orientation.

[@jpk9171jpk]

So from what I’ve learned here and other places is that basically you have the D2 as an entry level laser and the mawl is the best you can buy. everything else isn’t even worth buying.

[@project86xero]

Maybe but I see a lot of guys, me included, running the Steiner Otal C and the surefire m600 vampire. I personally use the dual switch cap on the surefire and a pressure pad that activates the light and the laser at the same time. Then if I need to use the light or laser individualy I use the controls on the units themselves. Personally i like having the ability to switch the light from visible to ir. The only downside is the lack of a visible laser for zeroing.

[@BobBob-il2ku]

And it’s very slow to transition to white light

[@jpk9171jpk]

@@project86xero this is great info. I’m trying to get into night vision but without any friends that have it to try out it’s so confusing. Just in Pvs-14’s there is like 20 levels quality and features to pick from. Haha for being such a niche market there are a ton of options but basically zero places you can go to try this stuff out before you buy it.

[@project86xero]

@@BobBob-il2ku I prefer that. Don't want my white light going off while I'm doing night time spooky pews.

[@project86xero]

@@jpk9171jpk Yeah. My advice buy a mid level white phosphor pvs14. Then get a good helmet rig and try hiking with it at night. Shooting under night vision is easy. It's walking around and manipulating your gun that's tough. If you don't have a good since of direction and distance your going to run into stuff. An if you can't diagnose and clear malfunctions without looking at your gun your gonna have a bad time.

[@jacobkasper4663]

Why doesn’t TNVC promote the “TNVC triad” IR laser/ illuminator very much? I have one and it’s a great laser. As good if not better than that peq 15 and beats a few of the dbals easily. Adjustable illuminator and the laser is powerful enough to shoot out a few hundred meters in my experience. And for the price it’s hard to beat.

The full power IR lasers can seriously damage your eyes instantly. You also have to worry about reflecting off a surface and hitting you or your buddies in the eyes.

[@nycdrummer23]

I get the fact that it can cause blindness but just like we can manage a rifle and a handgun That can kill you or your buddy instantly indicates we can manage a laser. I don’t know 🤷🏻‍♂️ about you but death 💀 is a little more severe than blindness. That’s all I’m saying and treating them more harshly than firearms is in my opinion ridiculous but it is what it is.
