This video introduces several new products from SHOT Show 2026, including the DNT Hydra Mini thermal optic, EOTech OGL-C laser, Lantac M-Spec 22S suppressor, Lantac Raven 2 receiver set, and Pulsar Trail 3 LRF thermal scopes. The DNT Hydra Mini offers versatile mounting options (rifle, clip-on, helmet) and multiple resolutions. The EOTech OGL-C is an eye-safe civilian laser. Lantac's M-Spec 22S is a modular .22 suppressor compatible with various calibers, and their Raven 2 receiver set features an ambidextrous design. Pulsar's new Trail 3 LRF scopes boast high sensitivity and long-range capabilities. The content features insights from product managers and engineers, indicating a high authority level.

The DNT Optics Hydra HS635 is a versatile 3-in-1 thermal optic that can function as a standalone scope, a clip-on device, or a handheld monocular. It offers a resolution of 640x512 with a 12-micron sensor and a 35mm lens, providing a zoom range from 1.5x to 6x. The device features a unique zeroing function that utilizes a freeze-frame capture to adjust reticle placement based on point of impact, making it adaptable for various rifle platforms.

This video compares two DNT thermal optics: the Thermite and the Hydra. The Thermite is presented as a dedicated scope setup with integrated laser rangefinder and ballistic calculator, priced around $1,000. The Hydra, costing approximately $1,300, offers versatility as a handheld, standalone, or clip-on optic. Both devices are capable of recording video.

This guide details the installation and functional principles of a thermal clip-on optic, specifically the InfiRay model, used with platforms like the SIG MCX Spear-LT. It emphasizes proper placement in front of traditional optics due to thermal sensor limitations with glass and the necessity of rear magnification for image scaling and eye relief. The information is presented with high authority, drawing on technical knowledge of thermal sensor physics and optical mounting solutions.

This guide details the process of mounting and zeroing the iRay RH25 thermal optic as a clip-on device. It emphasizes the critical step of collimation before zeroing and outlines live-fire testing for zero retention. The information is presented with a pragmatic and technically grounded approach, reflecting high authority and expertise in tactical gear integration.

This guide details the installation of the rare Martin Galilean Sight, a 'tubeless' optic used on the British SMLE rifle during WWI. Expert firearms historian Ian McCollum explains the clip-on mounting system for the front lens and the integration with a BSA Model 9C adjustable rear sight. The guide covers the mechanical steps for attaching the sight and highlights its historical context as an interim solution before standardized telescopic scopes.

This expert-level review by Isaac Botkin of T.REX ARMS provides an in-depth look at the SiOnyx Aurora digital night vision device. It details its features, performance compared to professional analog systems like the PVS-14, and its limitations, particularly latency, for tactical applications. The Aurora is presented as a budget-friendly option for specific uses like filmmaking or hunting, but not a replacement for high-end NVGs in demanding tactical scenarios.

This guide details the installation and basic use of the rare Zeiss Glasvisier 16 bifocal optic on a Mauser 98 rifle, as demonstrated by Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons. It covers the quick-detach mounting system and the unique bifocal lens design for WWI-era sniping. The optic features a 2.5x magnification in its lower portion and utilizes a clip-on front sight for aiming.

The ATN TICO is a new thermal imaging clip-on sight designed to be mounted in front of existing day optics. It features a 50mm germanium lens, infinity focus, and heat sinks to prevent sensor overheating. The TICO is available in 336x256 and 640x480 resolutions with 30Hz or 60Hz refresh rates, offering a 1x unity magnification and a quick detach mount.
