Shooting at Night with IR Laser and Night Vision

[mikethemaniac1]

@gunwebsites If the camera had a pvs-14 on it,couldn't the cameraman just turn up the gain dial so we could see the target wifthout artificial illumination

[GunWebsites]

@mikethemaniac1

nope

[SuperRip7]

how sweet the sound of bullets.

[FlashDusk]

is it safe shooting onto metal?

[GunWebsites]

@FlashDusk

Yes

[JakeEricson]

@FlashDusk Unless you're shooting extremely angled or with extremely low velocity rounds, of course.

[ELITEHAMSTER123]

The laser beam can only be seen if dust from the muzzle gets in its path right? Because i need a way for my spotter and I to coordinate our views, and I figure an ir laser on his spotting scope with a sun shade should do the trick.

[romansoldierofhonor]

dude you sound like your playing a xylophone (bells) with that rifle. what are you shooting?

[XvChriisvX]

@romansoldierofhonor steel targets

[rarecpus]

yes IR lasers are obviously legal - why wouldnt they be? go on ebay you'll find tons of them for sale, as well as on amazon.com. theres nothing illegal about them

[copeman89]

damn 10.5 inch barrel??? how did you get that?

[GunWebsites]

@copeman89

with money

[BEZIK2K9]

@GunWebsites lol

[dcook395]

are IR lasers legal for  civilians to own?

[GunWebsites]

sure

[dcook395]

were did you buy yours? cause every thing Ive seen on the internet says sold to law enforcement and military only

[GunWebsites]

@dcook395

There are IR lasers in every CD player.. many companies don't sell to non-military, but there are no laws against lasers that I am aware of

This is US everything is for sale. Check surplus stores, gun shows, magazine ads, the internet, etc

[Nlovlyn]

@dcook395 Try ATN they have a great selection of NVG.

[wigtrimer]

@dcook395 Don't ask don't tell. In other words don't worry if its legal just enjoy the vid.

[AlexCell33]

Can you see the laser with FLIR imaging??

[GunWebsites]

Good question.. I don't have FLIR to test, and the only time I've messed around with FLIR was at trade shows, so I am not sure.. but I would guess no because they are different wavelengths of energy

[marlin187]

Is not possible :/.

[tajbej]

Yes you can see IR Laser in Thermal Imagers. Just check out some of the Insight Technologies and Oasis units had IR Aiming Lasers for LE/Mil and Red Aiming Lasers for Civilian. The Oasis units will mount right on top of an AR15/M16 flatop. Remember Thermal detects heat. What is a laser, light/heat(radiation).

[GunWebsites]

@tajbej

I used a FLIR the other day and it could not see lasers

[mythreebuckeyes]

what does it take to get your hands on a an/peq or dbal?

[JZAW11]

can you see infrared just through night vision goggles

?

[GunWebsites]

yes, with non-assisted vision (no goggles) you can't see anything

[BOSTONPWNS2828]

whats the difference bettween a IR laser and a red laser pointer if any?

[GunWebsites]

basically they are the same thing, but of course the IR is not visible to the naked eye

[BOSTONPWNS2828]

so i will be able to see the beam of a red laser pointer through night vision googles?

[GunWebsites]

sure, but so could other people and everyone would see the 'dot' on the target

[scandapoodle]

@BOSTONPWNS2828

the wavelenght of the radiation

[GunWebsites]

Thanks, it was tough to film that night since it was so dark.. wasn't sure how well the clarity would be on Utube

[myredn95rocks]

The clarity is plenty good enough for youtube. I have been trying to explain to a few of my friends what its like to use an ir illuminator/laser and this video does just that. Thank you for putting this up.

[GunWebsites]

thanks, glad it could help
