This video tests the visibility of muzzle flashes through a budget digital night vision optic, the Triton Star Strike, when firing 9mm and .22 caliber firearms. While some 9mm flashes were visible, the low refresh rate of the budget optic limited consistency. .22 caliber flashes were extremely faint, though shell casings were clearly seen. The test highlights the limitations of low-cost night vision for observing dynamic events like muzzle flashes.
