Viridian C5L BROKEN Update

[ijuvatar]

people this is a test and he clearly states that the device is engineered and made for PISTOLS

so stfu with your HUR DURR HUR DERPA HERP DERP SHIT LASOR OMG comments

[SuperRip7]

Viridian can fail ? that stinks.

[928sniper]

Im sure it was the muzzle blast of that SBR that broke it, not the recoil. That's RIGHT at the muzzle.

[MI6CORPORAL]

surefire all the way, I may try this out on a paintball marker if the oppurtunity presents itself. Those surprisingly have a little bit of recoil

[928sniper]

@MI6CORPORAL

LOL a $300 optic on a paintball gun? WTF.....

[MI6CORPORAL]

@928sniper since when was that an optic?

[baker70romeo]

that sucks! thanks for posting this, cause i was going to pick one up and mount it on my AR.

[themouas]

Isn't that rifle's recoil softer than a pistol?

[GunWebsites]

@themouas

no

[Knightsarmamentlover]

[Knightsarmamentlover]

+1 For Surefire

[bobotea1234]

should be over engineered anyway, ill stick with my surefire

[badjeep02]

Thanks for saving me $300 lol!

[greygoosevodka1]

@badjeep02 its made for pistols not rifles dude

[ijsaenz]

dang what a bummer

[SugarFreeTargets]

But still, if it doesn't work with a rifle. Why should I buy it if I know it's not built strong to last.

[BennnnyBoooom]

Wow, good job..

[Whitehorze]

Percieved recoil isn't the same as the recoil impulse that the weapon is subjected to. Remember that you can't use an airgun scope on a real rifle and vice-versa. the recoil impulses are different and need to be engineered against.

Would love to see how an NcStar product would fair in a test like this...

@Whitehorze

"that you can't use an airgun scope on a real rifle and vice-versa."

Why cant you use a real rifle optic on a gun that has NO recoil?

[Jeenyus1983]

Exactly i7q---My .40 XDM kicks 4 times more than my AR does....I mean 5.56 in a long barreled rifle is signifficantly less potent in terms of recoil compared to a .40--or even worse--a .357 sig!

[i7q]

seems like a lot of pistols have more recoil than an ar15

[boravw1]

maybe just a bad apple? i mean send it back and get your warrenty.... that really should get owned by that application.... maybe it being upside down had something to do with it....?

[Rodgerrynd08]

this video is quite possibly one of the most telling videos i've seen into this laser. Can't wait for the update. I seriously considered buying that system, but after watching this, will probably stick to just a standard light.

[DasBulk]

I don't get it. My 9mm and .45 recoil more, feels that way anyway, than my AR.

[skyhop]

Guess it sure as hell wouldn't survive my glock 20... Sad one of these seemed interesting.

I guess I'll stick to my TLR-3.

[mintkendishin]

dude ur shit got owned!!

[Hiluxtaco]

Ah, the joys of buying Chinese-made gear...

[excelerater]

@Hiluxtaco AMEN !.........

[gangsta2wo6ixworld]

AHHHHH YOU BROKE MY HEART! I was just about to buy 3 of these! one for my hk91 for my glock 20 and my mossberg! =( not no more! =( if it cant even handle a dinky .223 doubt itll take that .308 10mm and def not a 12g =(

[MRpipeherdown]

Glad it was just on a rifle, I just bought one for my glock, and when I read the title I was ready to sell it !

[dmacekjr]

Go with a Surefire.

[NavyMedicUSMC]

Nice weapon. The Viridian situation kinda sucks, but it tells me what NOT to do. Thanks.
