Abusing a Laserspeed M6TR So You Don't Have To

Published on October 12, 2024
Duration: 12:53

This video details a rigorous torture test of the Laser Speed M6TR laser aiming device, focusing on its reliability under extreme conditions. The presenter conducts drop tests, water submersion simulations, and thermal stress tests (both cold and hot) to assess the unit's durability and the stability of its laser diode alignment. The testing methodology emphasizes the importance of diode alignment retention as a key indicator of internal component integrity, even if the unit's physical mounting point shifts on the firearm's rail. The results suggest the M6TR is a robust option for demanding use cases.

Quick Summary

The Laser Speed M6TR passed rigorous torture tests, including multiple drops onto asphalt and exposure to extreme temperatures (18°F to 177°F). Crucially, its visible and IR laser diode alignment remained stable throughout, demonstrating robust internal construction despite minor cosmetic damage and rail shifts.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Laser Speed M6TR perform in drop tests?

The Laser Speed M6TR was subjected to two drop tests from shoulder height onto hard asphalt. While the unit's physical position on the rail shifted, the relative alignment of its visible and IR laser diodes remained consistent, indicating robust internal construction.

Is the Laser Speed M6TR waterproof or water-resistant?

The M6TR demonstrated good water resistance. Pouring water directly onto the unit, including switches and adjustments, did not result in moisture ingress, preserving the clarity of the illuminator and the sharpness of the laser dot.

How does the Laser Speed M6TR handle extreme temperatures?

The M6TR performed well in thermal tests, maintaining diode alignment after being placed in a freezer (18°F) and an oven (175°F). It also withstood extreme heat (housing reaching 219°F) after sustained firing without alignment issues.

What is the most important factor for judging a laser's durability in stress tests?

According to the presenter, the most critical factor is the retention of relative alignment between the visible and IR laser diodes. This indicates that the internal components are holding true, even if the unit's physical mounting point on the firearm shifts.
