The analysis, drawing on expert knowledge from Brass Facts, emphasizes the technical nuances often missed in game simulations, providing a critical look at Tarkov's realism in this domain.

This guide breaks down the complexities of night vision device (NVD) selection, emphasizing the importance of understanding military origins and the distinction between factory-set and custom systems. It highlights that while image tubes are crucial, a balanced system requires quality housings and optics. The information is presented by Scott from Nocturnality, an expert with extensive experience in NVG assembly and specifications, offering a professional perspective on equipment choices.

This review of the Sionyx Aurora series of color night vision cameras highlights its capabilities and limitations compared to traditional night vision devices like the PVS-14. While not a direct replacement for high-end military-grade NVGs, the Aurora offers a more affordable entry into night observation, particularly when paired with an IR illuminator. The reviewer emphasizes its utility for situational awareness and its potential for specific applications like airsoft or wildlife observation, while cautioning against its use in pure darkness without supplemental IR.

This video from Tactical Rifleman, featuring Jen's Carl, outlines five favorite night shooting drills for rifles and pistols when using Night Vision Devices (NVDs). The drills emphasize maintaining muscle memory from day shooting by keeping techniques consistent. Key drills include Up Drills, Double Taps, the Zipper Drill (driving shots from chest to head), the Box Drill (chest shots followed by headshots on multiple targets), and the Check Drill (simulating rifle malfunctions and transitioning to a pistol). The instructor highlights the importance of using an IR aiming device and positioning the rifle slightly lower when shooting with NVDs down.
