    I dont think so, not for the civilian market anyhow. Two systems operate at two different wavelengths. However I read that FLIR SeaSpot can somehow work at both wave lengths.

    No. Wrong bandwith of radiation. These pick up the long wave radiation that all objects emit, and temperature of the object controls which wavelength is emitted most.

    IR is short wave radiation just outside of the visible light spectrum.

    would the heat from the barrel/gas system affect viewing??
    Let say... mounting on a Tavor or a SU-16??

    Guys, these are fun toys bit practically speaking won't be at all useful while hunting unless it's totally dark and your pray is within 10 feet of you in an open lawn with neatly cut grass. Trees and tall grass masks body heat on these units. Anyone who doesn't want to be disappointed hold on to our cash.

    No. That's not how thermal works.

    These devices will not work with an IR laser. IR lasers are meant to worth with image intensified night vision (the green stuff) not thermal imaging.

    When we talk about detection range, remember there's a big difference between "that is a heat source" and "that is a coyote." An experienced user can pick out hot spots for further investigation through the primary optic.

    The 45 offset pictured in the original post is a solid setup for these little guys.

    Now the cool stuff: thermal can also see through dust, fog, and most kinds of smoke and camouflage.

    For under $1000 these things are miles beyond what you could get in the past 10 years. Especially with the reticle and zeroing software that other manufacturers are so hesitant to export. But 200 yards would be pushing it, unless your heat source is something exceptionally large...like a tank?

    You'd have to be running really low height over bore, or really hot in order to disrupt the thermal image.

    So would you say this is more for pitch dark CQB to mid -range? For identification purpose but not to be rely on as sight?
