Videos tagged with First Generation Night Vision

This video details the restoration and operational demonstration of a World War II M1 Carbine equipped with an infrared scope. The restoration involved replacing original vacuum tubes and components with modern equivalents, such as a flyback transformer, to achieve the necessary 20,000 volts. The scope utilizes a cathode ray tube and an infrared lamp to provide first-generation night vision, primarily for perimeter defense at close ranges, rather than long-range sniping.
