Videos tagged with NVG Use

This video showcases a comprehensive hostage rescue training scenario conducted by Spiritus Systems at the Direct Action Resource Center. It details advanced tactical operations including vehicle-based ingress, multi-method breaching (manual, mechanical, explosive), dynamic room clearing, low-light movement, and precise hostage recovery and exfiltration. The drill emphasizes coordinated team movements and the effective use of specialized tactical equipment.

This video demonstrates advanced low-light tactical operations, including entry, movement, and target engagement using an AR-15 platform rifle equipped with an EOTech sight on a GBRS Group Hydra Mount and a suppressor. Instruction emphasizes NVG proficiency, CQB movement, muzzle discipline, and crucial noise accountability in dynamic environments. The content showcases high-end gear integration and professional-tier tactical execution.

This video details a Steyr AUG A3 rifle setup for the 'Moonzout' night shooting competition, which emphasizes Night Vision Device (NVD) usage. The presenter explains the differences between passive and active night shooting divisions and showcases the Holosun IRIS GR3 IR laser illuminator as a key component for active use. The setup prioritizes co-aligning the IR laser with the optic for effective aiming under NVDs.

This guide, drawing from an experienced tactical gear enthusiast, demonstrates the limitations of standard iron sights when used with Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) in low-light conditions. It highlights the focal plane mismatch that blurs either the target or the sights. The video suggests that tritium night sights offer a more viable solution for low-light target acquisition when paired with NVGs.

This short video emphasizes the strategic use of IR illuminators when operating with night vision, particularly in scenarios where the enemy might also possess NVGs. The core advice is to delay turning on illuminators until the actual assault begins, preventing friendly forces from revealing their positions and allowing for better situational awareness and target acquisition.

This guide details the process of zeroing and utilizing pistol-mounted infrared (IR) laser systems, as explained by Lucas Botkin of T.REX ARMS. It covers different types of IR devices, from 'half systems' lacking visible lasers to 'full systems' with both IR and visible lasers. The guide emphasizes the necessity of NVGs for zeroing and employing IR-only devices, discusses potential zeroing challenges, and compares IR lasers to the more versatile red dot sight and IR illuminator combination.

This guide details techniques for effectively shooting a carbine under night vision, as demonstrated by Lucas Botkin of T.REX ARMS. It covers optimal setup of IR laser devices, utilizing pressure pads for seamless transitions, maintaining fundamental shooting positions for recoil control, and overcoming focus challenges inherent in NVG use. The instruction emphasizes proficiency through repetition for critical tasks like reloads and malfunctions.
