Lucas Botkin outlines a cost-effective night vision setup, emphasizing that 'budget' NVG still costs thousands. The loadout features a PVS-14 monocular, an Ops-Core helmet, and an Aero Precision rifle build under $3,000. Key components include MSA Sordin hearing protection for helmet compatibility and a Mayflower chest rig with a T.REX Arms plate carrier for support gear. Botkin stresses that training is paramount, surpassing expensive gear without proficiency.
This video demonstrates advanced tactical shooting techniques using a FAB Defense KPOS G2 conversion kit and a Meprolight Mepro RDS optic, integrated with a ballistic shield. The demonstration, led by a professional tactical demonstrator, showcases effective movement, use of cover, and one-handed operation of the KPOS system during dynamic target engagement. It highlights the utility of such setups for defensive scenarios.
This video offers a practical, field-expedient solution to a common discomfort experienced with MSA Sordin hearing protection, suggesting a 'hack' to alleviate pain. It also touches on potential upgrades, such as gel cups and replacement headbands, and mentions purchasing a Baofeng radio with accessories as a comparative value proposition.
This video compares several high-end tactical hearing protection systems, including Peltor ComTac III, Ops-Core AMP, MSA Sordin, TEA High Threat, and Safariland HP. The Ops-Core AMP is highlighted as the top-tier option due to its modularity, advanced features like NFMI earplugs, and superior audio quality, despite its high cost. Other options offer different balances of NRR, battery life, and price, with the Peltor ComTac III being a long-standing benchmark.
This guide details the setup of tactical helmets, differentiating between ballistic and bump types. It covers the installation of essential accessories like night vision mounts (Wilcox G24, Unity Tactical MARK), ear protection (Safariland Liberator 5, MSA Sordin), cable management (TNVC Mohawk), and counterweights. The importance of secure retention systems and comfortable interior fit (Team Wendy BOA) is emphasized for optimal performance in various operational and recreational scenarios.
The Walker's Razor Slim electronic hearing protection offers excellent value at around $40, featuring a slim profile ideal for rifle cheek weld and comfortable wear. While providing 9x sound amplification and good directional awareness, the NRR is 23 dB, and doubling up with earplugs is recommended for indoor shooting. They are a competitive option against higher-priced models like the Howard Leight Impact Sport.
This review compares four electronic hearing protection models: 3M Peltor TEP-100, 3M Peltor Tactical Sports, Howard Leight Impact Sport, and MSA Sordin Supreme Pro-X. The Peltor Tactical Sports are recommended for best overall value and performance, while the Howard Leights are a budget option for casual shooters. The TEP-100s are noted as specialized travel gear, and the Sordin Supreme Pro-X, despite high quality, has feedback issues that question its value proposition against the Peltors.
