Frequently Asked Questions

What is the recommended optic height for tactical weapon setups, especially with NVGs?

GBRS Group recommends a 2.91-inch optic center height. This specific height promotes a repeatable sight picture and aids in passive aiming with night vision devices, making it easier to acquire targets quickly.

How can I improve ambidextrous control of my ATPIAL laser/light?

A custom modification involves splicing two pressure pads together and running them down both sides of the rail. This ensures consistent activation of the ATPIAL when switching shoulders without your hand obscuring the device.

What is the benefit of a 2.91-inch optic height for cross-eye dominant shooters?

The elevated 2.91-inch optic height allows cross-eye dominant shooters to present the rifle to their opposite eye more naturally and easily, improving their overall sight picture and shooting efficiency.

Where should the pressure pad be placed relative to the ATPIAL laser?

For optimal control, place the pressure pad directly behind the laser. While this may require a 'choked up' grip, it guarantees that your hand won't block the laser's path, regardless of which shoulder you are shooting from.
