The only 3rd Gen in the world with a set of these…

It’s gonna be a fun winter. @Coal Dragger

 

Light it up.

 

IR?

 

What is it, IR light for driving with nods?

dang, beat lol

 

I remember my first beer. Been running those for years.

 

Forgive my ignorance, but what is it, and what does NOD mean?

 

I haven't decided between those or the Baja design ones. Are they 850 or 940nm and how's the performance?

 

Night Observation Device

Night vision

 

Thanks. Why not just turn the headlights on?

 

Nice. Go blind some wildlife.

 

So this was a thing in the 70's! @Eurodriver you got the goggles I wanna see?

 

As someone who didnt know this was a thing i'm crazy jelly. My ir scope could use the help.

 

Man it’s been ages since I drove with NOD’s.

We didn’t have any infrared spotlights either. Made it really questionable once up-armored windshields got installed on our Weapons Co. HMMV’s, that layered glass just killed light transmission to the NOD’s.

I ended up taping a PEQ-2 to the brush guard, popping off the power limiter (oh noes! The cancer, and blinding, and dangerous low power infrared!) and using that shit as a headlight with the IR flood light for our nighttime shenanigans in Al Anbar. Better than nothing, and bonus points for being redneck as fuck and making armorers angry.

 

You don't need to be able to turn off your dash lights. Here is what I do:

Get some cardboard or nice foam (think inside of a pelican case or similar) and just cut it to fit into or over the places you want to blackout. Leave the cardboard or foam cut outs under your back seat or wherever, then when you need them, they are there and ready to go. Super cheap. Super simple.

Do the same with your brake lights. Use cardboard and athletic tape.

 

I guess a guys gotta do what he’s gotta do to kill something. I just grab my bow and go hunt.

Thermal is where it’s at

 

Is that a CW2 Apache pilot view about to go hot on 20 armed MAMs?

 

I had too......

 

Just get an ecoti for your 31s..

 

Hey @Eurodriver talk to me about NODS or a clip on for a rifle.

I kind of mildly dislike coyotes, and next year plan to get a .22 Creedmoor barrel for my AI because reasons. Have a buddy who hunts them with a thermal but I don’t hate coyotes $6000 worth, but might hate them NOD clip on worth $$$.

Terrible website, good optics.

https://www.agmglobalvision.com/thermal-imaging/thermal-weapon-sights&filter=1

And there's always AGM. You can get a 640x for $4k or less.

 

That first website is hot garbage.

 

Go to snipershide forum. There's more info than you'll ever need in the optics subforum

 

I’m a member over there too.

I’ve been reading up. Might be a 2025 project at this point.

 

I warned you..

 

Ok I hope this doesn’t get me banned lol

Still haven’t got into traditional nv, 1x thermal is good enough for me now…I do want a helmet mount tho

 

At first I thought maybe you had two key fobs.

 

hahaha beat me to it.

 

I'm love firearms, but that pic of the German Shepard makes me cringe. I believe one of the most basic rules of firearm safety is never aim at something you don't intend to shoot.

It’s a quick attach scope, I doubt it’s on a rifle, doggo is safe
