Chromatra Full Color Night Vision - SHOT Show 2017 Day 1

This video compares budget-friendly analog night vision (Cold Harbor Supply PVS-14 with ~1600 FOM, 24 SNR) against a premium unit (Warhammer Armaments PVS-14 with ~2700 FOM, 36 SNR) across various lighting conditions. The instructor, Kyle from 4MR Ranch, highlights that while the higher FOM and SNR provide more detail and less noise, the perceived difference may not always justify the significant price gap for many users, especially in environments with ambient light. The video also touches on the utility of IR illuminators and adjustable irises.

This video provides a detailed breakdown of setting up a tactical helmet for optimal performance and safety. It covers the importance of proper pad adjustment for comfort and pressure relief, the function of retention systems for night vision devices, and the necessity of a base plate for mounting accessories like NVG mounts. The guide also emphasizes the role of ARC rails for mounting ear protection and communications, the use of counterweights to balance the helmet, and the utility of IR strobes for identification.

This video reviews the new Infitac IOP 13 thermal optic, comparing it to the Infitac IOL 25. It highlights the IOP 13's 256 core sensor and 1.5x base magnification, contrasting it with the IOL 25's 384 core sensor and 2x magnification. A key feature discussed is the 'IoT configuration,' allowing thermal imaging to be transmitted to a monocular, useful for tactical applications or as a hunting guide to monitor guests' targets.

This video reviews two night vision devices suitable for nighttime range use. The PVS-30 is an older, high-end green phosphor clip-on unit, while the D&T Optics NVMD C200 offers a more affordable, versatile digital solution that can function as a standalone optic, clip-on, magnifier, or action camera with recording capabilities. The NVMD C200 is presented as a more accessible and feature-rich alternative for those interested in digital night vision technology.

This video from 704 TACTICAL provides a comprehensive overview of VOTATU Prime Day deals on tactical firearm accessories, focusing on illuminators and laser aiming modules. The instructor highlights significant price reductions on products like the MDL-IG (IR/visible laser with white light) and the VR848 (IR/green laser, white/IR light), emphasizing their value compared to higher-priced competitors. Viewers are encouraged to use provided discount codes for additional savings, with specific mention of the VR848 being exceptionally discounted without a code. The review covers features such as integrated pressure switches, M-LOK/Picatinny compatibility, magnetic recharging, and slaved visible/IR lasers for easy zeroing.

This review of the Goyojo G210 thermal monocular highlights its capabilities as a budget-friendly option for various applications including wildlife observation, property security, and hunting. The instructor demonstrates its heat-sensing technology, multiple color palettes, and digital zoom functionality. While acknowledging its limitations as an entry-level device, the review emphasizes its practical utility for spotting warm objects and animals at moderate distances, with a focus on its ease of use and long battery life.

This video features a critique of a home defense AR-15 build by former Navy SEAL Jeff Gonzales. Key takeaways include the importance of a suppressor for indoor use, the critique of an overly complex sling, and recommendations for reliable optics. The discussion highlights the trade-offs of short-barreled rifles (SBRs) for home defense and emphasizes practical gear selection over complexity.

This guide details the tool-less field stripping process for the Beretta ARX-160, as demonstrated by a Beretta factory representative. It covers the quick-release barrel, stock, trigger group, and bolt assembly, emphasizing ease of maintenance. The representative highlights the rifle's modularity and ambidextrous features, noting its current military availability with future civilian plans.

This entry details the Fostech .50 Cal Drum Magazine, designed for Barrett M107 and 82A1 rifles, featuring a 20-round capacity and billet machined aluminum construction. It also touches upon the Fostech Rader .308 rifle. The information is presented with high technical focus from a manufacturer representative.

This video from ARFCOM News details a ballistic gel test of Remington's 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 16-inch Rossi Model M92 carbine. The test highlights how carbine-length barrels significantly enhance .357 Magnum performance, achieving velocities comparable to some .300 Blackout loads and demonstrating substantial penetration and expansion in ballistic gel. The analysis touches on terminal ballistics theories and the unique behavior of high-velocity pistol rounds fired from rifles.
