Laser Units

[Dimitri]

So I notice they seem to be popular on ARs to attach them (mainly cause of the military's use of them I'd imagine), but where would the average non-military Joe get one in Canada ??

ebay.

I generally avoid Ebay. Other sources (such as a real retailer) would be better.

i would like to try one though....how visible (distance) are they in the day time?

Very good question I never used one or seen one used personally, wanting to get one to try out hence the post. I am kind of wondering that myself now.

Start calling the people at the top of the page.
Dealers on here can find what you are looking for.

For day time use you want a green laser, for low light use a red laser is good.

I use a green 5mw on my ar. cool factor is there but real use none

They are meant for use with NVGs. Actual soldiers who actually fight at night have a use for them otherwise they are useless for people like us.

 

[P12]

For night time use with NVG's you need a IR laser (the one that's invisable), the visible red and green lasers are usefull for quick target aquisition.

Some of the eBay sellers are real retailers.

Pretty useless on rifles, and I should know I have one on my 10/22. Its really something for use indoors or at night, and even then the cool factor dies out. They are really meant to be IR and used with NV, otherwise they dont really do much of anything usefull. And I have yet to find a night time range.

I had an otal forgery on my 7.5" ar. With the .22 kit it was pretty nifty

they are a urban tool made more for close quarter combat situations. they aid in point shooting and fast acquisition.
imo, a laser is a far better tool for home protection than a flashlight for many obvious reasons.

 

[Dimitri]

Think I found a nice one except its a red laser.

The Shooting Edge will get a call once I get to that point of my Modernized M1A build.

Well there is this one too forgot to mention its Green but no idea how ATN products stack up.

Unless someone can say otherwise.

X2 on the CVL, I wanna get one too.

They are kinda useful if you carry a shield or wear a gas mask.

 

[Dimitri]

P12,

They are on American sites being listed for 500$ or so, not too shabby.

Greentips,

Don't own a shield or a gas mask. But neat to know.
