Maybe we'll get some NVG footage of VenezuelaMFAL comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e5V9qYxITW0Resource on what these spec terminology meanhttps://www.nite-walker.com/post/2019/11/21/specs-for-dummies-101https://apollogearco.com/blogs/news/night-vision-specs-explainedhttps://gloomgroup.com/blogs/night-vision-info/night-vision-specifications-understanding-what-they-meanYou shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.Some reputable retailers:https://www.jrhenterprises.com/https://steeleindustries.com/https://nvisionoptics.com/https://www.customnightvision.com/https://apollogearco.comSNR: signal to noise ratio, the amount of signal the tube can make compared to the noiseEBI: equivalent background information, how much false image appears in the screen through which the actual image has to show, sort of a noise floor of sortsHalo: How big the circle of bloom is around lightsPhotocathode Sensitivity: How sensitive the photocathode isLP Resolution: Line pair res of the center of the image as measure against a standardized chartIf one spec is shit it negates the rest, if you have a halo of 2.0 it kinda fucks on an EBI of 0.20 if you want to do any kind of shooting and it's all a balance gameThe numbers to meet or beat areEBI under 1, preferably under 0.6 being great, 0.1 is gucciHalo under 1, anything under 0.7 is awesomeSNR, over 25 anything over 30 is gucciPhotocathode, 1900+ is pretty great, 2500+ is stellarResolution of 64+ is good, 72+ is gucci
>>64709214https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9zeBrH28DcBE Meyers DAGIR is looking real nice, likely will cost the same as the MAWL when it is available for civilian purchase.
If it wasn't for some of the negatives I've heard about the OGL, I would be really tempted to buy this. Apparently they aren't even asking for mil/Leo credentials. I mages eotech to see if they would go or their warranty on this https://armsunlimited.com/eotech-ogl-on-gun-laser-infrared-illuminator/?searchid=2823070&search_query=eotech as i am looking for something that can handle a scar 17
hopefully this thread can stay alive
I've finally gotten the guns I wanted, now I have to either stack ammo, or get into night vision. Did /nvg/gers go right for buying night vision/thermals after they got the guns they wanted or did you stack ammo first?
>>64713009i think i had like 10k rounds but only 1k was the good shit aka 77gr. Nowadays I stack less, but more of it is the good shit.
>>64711755Yeah I saw the post about that on leddit's nvg section and people said they got it and didn't need to show creds.I think there is only like 3-4 MFALs/LAMs: MAWL, RAID-X(e), DAGIR and the special PEQ-15 (LA5-D and LA5-E) that was tested by NAVSEA that has actual SCAR-17 recoil testing and certified to be used on that platform, good to know the OGL is tested and passed for that also. If you need it for a SCAR-17, you gotta pay for that higher quality MFAL/LAM.
bought my first thermal monocular thanks to /nvg/ger. Thanks nvggers Will buy a helmet with battery and cable next. Was listed as discounted open box but it was clearly brand new unit.
when are they goning to make thermal lasers to use with my thermal skope?
SMS Trinity is a great buy, just gotta recheck your zero especially using on a rifle with a greater recoil impulse than 5.56: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1Ypax8GRA4
>>64716272I would hold off on getting one for the moment as apparently they are working on a v2 with better zeroing turrets for holding zero.
>>64716546Oh neat, good to hear they are fixing their windage and elevation mechanism.The guy also did a white light performance test of various 4-in-1 LAMs: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2C0fKed8Cuw
I currently have an RNVG with L3 22UA tubes at 2376/2383 FOM. I want to move to the UAPNVG Chimera in 2026.I want to buy another set of "matching" tubes early this year. Looks like it is going to clock in around $8000 after 6% sales tax. I wouldn't mind even buying used tubes, because... my existing ones are used (by me).Any reason to shop around anywhere else beside Kosher/Custom? They have always been good to me.
>>64717971I personally haven’t had any issues with custom night vision but it wasn’t actual NODs but some NVG accessories. But since you had prior experience with them, I don’t see why you shouldn’t buy from them again.With regards to just buying intensifier tubes, I see this site recommended quite often https://superiortac.com/product/l3harris-image-intensifier-tubes/
how would you guys deal with pookay laser guns?
>>64719687lmao, more like poo is their realm
>>64719687Shitow is our realm.Stool is our verdict.
>>64710072I have a feeling this is going to be the perfect MFAL. Got to mess with the display units at AUSA a little bit, perfect size and the controls are all easy to operate.
>be me>go hunting this afternoon >99%sure I shot a deer>couldn’t find any blood>got too dark>gave up the searchI really wish I had nods, but man I can’t justify the cost.
>>64723054Get it in the morning.
where is it
>>64709214How does thermal pick up reflections in the mirror?
>>64728167Thermal signature wavelength is reflective on mirror like surfaces.
>>64728240Even my sliding glass door, faintly.
>>64712948I want your set up on this.
