The Evolution of The Laserspeed M6TR

Published on May 4, 2025
Duration: 20:27

This video provides an in-depth evolution of the Laser Speed M6TR, detailing its three primary versions and their technical differences. It highlights advancements in IR illuminator and laser technology, from the problematic high output of the Version 1 to the cleaner patterns of Vixel-based illuminators in the Version 3. The review also covers the addition of a white light module and aftermarket support from Villain Weapon Systems, offering insights for users to choose the best configuration for their needs.

Quick Summary

The Laser Speed M6TR has evolved through three versions, with key differences in IR laser output and illuminator technology. Version 1 had a high-output 30 MRAD IR laser, Version 2 reduced it to 5 MRAD, and Version 3 introduced a Vixel-based illuminator for cleaner patterns and better compliance. An optional white light module adds versatility, and aftermarket diffusers enhance close-range IR illumination.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main differences between the Laser Speed M6TR versions?

The primary differences lie in the IR illuminator and IR aiming laser. Version 1 had a high-output 30 MRAD IR laser prone to bloom. Version 2 reduced this to 5 MRAD. Version 3 features a Vixel-based illuminator, offering cleaner patterns and often better FDA compliance, compared to the EAL technology in earlier versions.

What is the advantage of a Vixel-based illuminator in the Laser Speed M6TR?

Vixel-based illuminators, used in the M6TR Version 3, are a more modern technology that typically provides a cleaner illumination pattern with fewer artifacts. They are also often designed to meet stricter FDA output regulations, making them a more prevalent choice in current laser device manufacturing.

Can the Laser Speed M6TR be used with a white light module, and how effective is it?

Yes, an optional white light head can transform the M6TR into a 4-in-one device. While functional for close-range use, its output is comparable to Surefire 3VT heads and not as powerful as dedicated tactical weapon lights like Modlites, making it a supplemental rather than primary light source.

What is the benefit of the Villain Weapon Systems diffuser for the M6TR?

The Villain Weapon Systems diffuser attaches to the M6TR's IR illuminator and converts its beam into a diffused flood. This is advantageous for close-quarters applications where a tight, concentrated IR beam would be too intense or cause excessive bloom, allowing for more effective illumination at shorter distances.
