This guide details the zeroing and adjustment techniques for the Holosun Iris-3 IR illuminator, based on an 8,000-round evaluation by a seasoned night vision instructor. It covers slaved zeroing, illuminator cone adjustment for various scenarios, and the utility of the visible override feature. The review highlights the Iris-3 as a new benchmark for civilian-legal Laser Aiming Modules (LAMs).
This guide details how to properly zero an IR laser device for night vision use, emphasizing the importance of confirming zero at 100 meters. It contrasts the correct method with a field expedient approach and highlights the need for active aiming over passive aiming for most scenarios. The instructor, with extensive night fighting experience, stresses practical application over internet-derived misinformation.
This guide details five essential night shooting drills for tactical rifle and pistol engagements, as demonstrated by former Green Beret Karl Erickson. It emphasizes mastering night vision devices (NVDs) and IR aiming lasers through specific drills like the 'Up Drill,' 'Zipper Drill,' and 'Check Drill.' The instruction highlights proper rifle positioning and the importance of muscle memory for effective low-light operations.
This video discusses the MAWL (Modular Advanced Weapon Laser) and its value proposition in the current market. The speaker suggests that while the MAWL's controls and usability are good, especially compared to older civilian modes like the DBAL-A3 or Holosun LS321, its functionality may not justify its price tag. Emerging technologies offer more for similar or lower costs, making the MAWL a questionable purchase at this time.
The Holosun LS321 is presented as a more convenient alternative to the DBAL-A3, offering comparable power output for passive and LAM shooting. It is effective for highlighting human targets at typical engagement distances and provides sufficient illumination for target acquisition up to 200+ yards in moderately lit conditions.
This video discusses the Holosun LS321 as a viable alternative to the DBAL-A3 for tactical builds. The instructor highlights its comparable power output for passive and LAM shooting, sufficient for illuminating human targets at moderate distances. It's presented as a more convenient option for certain applications.
This video discusses rifle selection for a post-apocalyptic scenario, prompted by geopolitical tensions. The host, an experienced shooter, details two personal rifle builds: a PSA Saber with a 20-inch FN barrel and a Daniel Defense Mark 18. He emphasizes reliability, familiarity, and specific modifications like BCM bolt carrier groups and Surefire lights as crucial for a 'go-to' rifle in survival situations.
This video demonstrates a method for re-zeroing an ACOG optic after it has been impacted, referencing an "old Army trick" involving a hammer and a Gerber tool. The presenter uses a Daniel Defense V7 rifle equipped with an ACOG and a DBAL-A3 laser aiming module. The demonstration involves live-fire testing to assess the optic's zero after the impact and subsequent adjustment.
This video features an expert-level torture test of the CZ Bren 2 rifle, conducted by James Reeves of TFB TV. The test pushes the rifle to its limits with extreme exposure to sand, mud, and water, while also testing its reliability with an unconventional .300 Blackout round in a 5.56 chamber. The CZ Bren 2, a Czech military variant, demonstrates remarkable resilience, with only minor adjustments needed for mud-related stoppages.
This guide details a rigorous testing protocol for the Somogear PEQ-15, evaluating its performance under real-world firearm conditions. It covers zero retention during sustained fire on a 5.56 rifle, extreme recoil testing on a 12-gauge shotgun, concussion resistance near a muzzle brake, and durability via drop testing. The guide also includes a night vision comparison against premium devices, assessing laser and illuminator brightness. The assessment emphasizes practical, objective data collection, drawing on the speaker's high authority level and expertise in night vision and zeroing protocols.
This video demonstrates the CMMG BANSHEE 9mm pistol-caliber carbine set up for home defense, featuring a Streamlight, DBAL A3, and EOTech optic. The presenter, an average pistol-caliber carbine enjoyer, runs through various shooting drills including two-rounds-per-target, one-round-per-target, Mozambique, and build drills. The BANSHEE is highlighted for its compatibility with Glock magazines and minimal recoil, making it a viable home defense option.
This YouTube Shorts video provides a quick overview of a night vision gear setup for a tactical class. It showcases a SOLGW M4-89 rifle with an EOTech EXPS3-0 optic on a Unity riser, a Steiner DBAL A3, an HRT AWLS, a Team Wendy ballistic helmet, and Low Light Innovations LLUL-21 dual tube night vision goggles. The creator promises full reviews of all the featured products soon and includes affiliate links for various brands such as AXIL, Pnuma Outdoors, Right to Bear insurance, Grey Man Tactical, and Gatorz eyewear.
