>was it worth it?
wait till the riots start and the power goes then try to buy them.

>>65372596
if you can afford to drop 2-3k on a non-essential purchase then yes they are worth it. its one of the few superpowers you can buy.

>>65373713
what can you get for 2-3k? i thought actual usable ones cost 15k

>>65373721

Single PVS-14 from a US vendor that is capable of properly evaluating the tubes. Not worth risking $1500 on ebay for something that might work and definitely won't have any warranty or support.

>>65373822
is a single tube good enough tho

>>65373822
Ebay has excellent buyer protections. If it's not exactly as advertised file an INAD return and make the fucker refund you AND pay return shipping.

>>65373746
Surplus green phos pvs14 can go for $1200 to 1500 on ebay.

Single tube is fine. If you find yourself using NVGs on a semi-regular basis (i.e. hog hunting, etc) then upgrade to duals. I got my WP pvs-14 for about 2200

>>65373836
Photonic barriers fuck up duals too which is why thermal is so much more powerful but you can't drive or walk with thermal so you need both. Don't sweat the details on your tubes. Buy omni, buy carson glass, reputable dealers. The price honestly hasn't changed much over the years so considering inflation there has never been a cheaper time to buy nods. Which is convenient because even shitty cheap thermals are pretty impressive. The battlefield done changed, son.

Really? And how are you going to supply the batteries for these NVGs when the power goes and the batteries are no longer purchasable?
