Why are these sorts of weapon lights so hard to find outside of Chinesium shit? The Cloud Defensive Owl was basically perfect and they stopped making them. Any other recs that aren't trash? Or are there actually some Chinese made ones on Amazon that are decent? This is for a Stribog SP9A3S so I've got super limited rail space. Budget maximum is $250
streamlight RM 1
>that are decentsorry anon but it's a fucking LED flashlight, it was solved 20 years ago.>stribogbased, even still I haven't been able to find one for my sp45a3 that sticks out far enough that the suppressor doesn't block the beam significantly
>>65231980>>65232148Speaking of, why the fuck are weapon lights like $300? Is there something special about them?
>>65231995This, I have the RM2 and it seems to fit the bill OP.
>>65232164Nothing other than the fact that they have weapon mountsI have a $40 flashlight from costco (infinity x1) that absolutely lights my entire back yard up like it's daylight and can focus in on a certain point but the shitty ass holosun raid I have that was $120 can barely light up one of my trees
>>65232164This stupid nigger >>65232195 has clearly never had a chinesium flashlight mounted on his gun. They don't withstand recoil impulse and will stop working very quickly.
because its off-meta.
>>65232164theyre potted even though that shits a 15 minute job.
>>65231995I really wish streamlight would make one that direct mounts to mlok. Adding a pic rail adapter just scratches my tism wrong.
>>65232213My $27 chinesium Toughsoul has make it to the 500 round mark and is still working, not that that's a ton of rounds but I'm pleasantly surprised.
>>65231980Anon....If you won't spend for a real Surefire, get a chink surefire knockoff. They work.
>>65232283I mean sure but which chink knockoffsAlso how come my stribog doesn’t have the cool slavic font
>>65232283Cool. I've got a cmore too. How's it been on mags? Ive seen people saying the ones it comes with suck.
all that manufacturers need to do is to make a flashlight without any springs and cylindrical batteries, but instead make square-is flashlights with bar batteries that are fucking soldered in the board. it's that simple. in addition the board should be fully epoxied to the body so the only moving part is the ON/OFF button (fuck modes). the chinks can make this shit and sell it for like $30.
>>65231980Inforce with adapter?
>>65232164Smaller market, higher tolerances and performance expectance.
>>65232195And its runtime? Drop cert?
>>65232176Would the rm2 be too big for a stribog?
>>65232252Actual cursed image
>>65231980You can buy like 5-6 knockoffs for $150. Just test them and keep the ones that survive. With any luck you'll end up having more than one good one.
>>65233624>You can buy like 5-6 knockoffs for $150. Just test them and keep the ones that survive. With any luck you'll end up having more than one good one.he could also take the ones that survive and make them kiss and get married and then when the stork brings them baby flashlights they should be even stronger
>>65232420>performance expectance....>Produce light in dark spaces>Don't breakYeah I can see how it costs 300 bucks to pull off that impossible task
Same reason I don't have a light. Form and function can coexist and I'm not blowing money on pic rail and a light to end up with a bulky setup >It's not bulkyYes it is, and your rifle is fucking disgusting
>>65232401Be the change you want to see in the world. Design some prototypes, get some VC, set up production, and do it.
>>65233719Finally.Someone who fucking gets it.
>>65233719you could just buy a rechargable led for under 50 bucks and affix it with zipties, saddle clamps and other various hardware.you don't need universal military hardware to attach shit to shit.
>>65232416Inforce lights might as well be chinesium, the ergonomics and form factor is great but the electronics suck.
>>65234168To be fair, that is THE way the military attached shit sometimes. Just look at the old-school MP5SD setups. They would do wacky shit like hose clamp a flashlight to the suppressor.
I'm halfway tempted to understand electricity and batteries specifically for the reason of creating a small, weapon grade, m-lok attachable, and low profile mag lite style light
>>65232213What's stopping you from just potting a chink light in your garage and sticking it in a chink clamp
>>65232420It's just hypebeast/NVG bullshit.>well if you can afford a rifle you can afford this too>look at all these jewtubers that shill our products don't you NEED my products to keep from dying? Don't you want to DUNK on your friends by owning a light with my logo on it???I only run legacy lights that are basically free in comparison to modern lights and so far I have not had anyone prove that paying more for a newer light makes them a better shooter or gives them any kind of real advantage of any kind.
>>65233729there are a lots of flashlight designs that need just a tiny bit of modifications to get the wanted results. the nitecore flat edc series are very close to hitting home run. just remove all the mods and add a picatinny rail attachment compatibility and that's all. their batteries are already soldiered to the circuit board (not needed if you don't need mods) and they are bright enouth (3000+ lumens).so to wrap it up:>make rugged, waterproof rectangular body with picatinny compatability>on/off button (no mods)>battery soldered directly to the LED and the switch (add a resistor somewhere in between)>??? (charge 50-100 bucks for one)>profiti don't see why this "isn't that simple"
