I may buy one. I have no kids at home anymore and I may also buy proper laser safety glasses to go with it (must be made to exclude 850 nm range beams).

I could perhaps get away without the glasses if I take proper precautions .... :geek:

You wont want them on your face when (& if) out at night sending fragments of copper & lumps of lead out of a steel tube & into the vital organs of beautiful living creatures...

Just dont point the gun at yourself (well at least not while the illuminator is switched on & a round in the chamber) & your eyesight will be fine...

Be sure & trim any nostril hairs though...getting one caught in the bolt race as you chamber a round will be sure to induce sneezing at the most inopportune time...

I can comment on it. It’s s**t hot and I can still see... missed a couple of easy shots tonight, but that’s a different issue. :D

Ram, you’re reading way too much into this. I will say though.. you’ll be looking slick when you’re popping bunnies with them shades 8-)

Seriously this thread went from seemingly informative to a guy going on a rant about a topic he doesn't have any real world experience with, and just quoting randomly related websites and internet haresay shooting rumors without.

Actually i spoke to the inventor of military NV, according to him the Chinese copied one of their competitors designs design and thus all European companies are dead set against them and creating false rumors... cuz at their price point it will destroy consumer NV market.

Another guy said that the Chinese military is using pard devices.

Groan, what a bunch of macho dummies, as bad as the UK lot; no worse. Must be a firearms thing, the way guns attract dipshirts worldwide.

Lesson learned. Won't try to help, educate or communicate here again.

So you’ve deemed the entire UK shooting community a bunch on wankers, the entire Oz enough gun forum shooting community as stupid dummies...the world of firearms must attract dipshirts...?
Wats the common denominator with all of this?? Your so much smarter shouldn’t take you long...

My guess is, your very young, probably not old enough to hold a licence yet but you’ve googled a couple things and now you think your an expert...the jokes on us really, for not picking it up sooner...say hi to your mum for me.

No, not the "entire" community, but enough low wattage members to make the forums icky. You know, the big swinging dicks, the bullies, the microcephalics, the usual testosterone crowd.

Well you won’t see this but others will...who knows, maybe a member of your personal forum might join here one day...

The fact that you chose to clarify your age etc, says sarcasm is completely lost on you - it was a hook statement to see how big a bite...Ozzie’s are taught this in year 3 and world renown for it.

You said you expected value from this forum? But you didn’t...you expected to TELL people stuff and have them agree with you...then throw tantrums when ppl disagreed...that’s not getting anything from anyone. That’s well...a bit weird tbh.
You must have contributed 100 posts on lasers, including a run away thread on kid type warnings and glasses...(contributed might not be the word? Well telling ppl about stuff that’s freely available to anyone who might want to research if they specifically wanted to anyway) - yet I didn’t see a single “pertinent” firearm query bar a barrel coating question that was similarly - very strange...did you even have any firearms...or was shackle too big of a personality to let Ram get clearance from the board ? Ps - this is a lol!

That conundrum your now feeling? The one that’s telling Mr shackle to get back on here and blast away back - but oooohhhh bugger, mr Ram said it was his last post several times now...so to do so would look foolish...bugger. To do, to do. Lol.
It’s been entertaining.

Ramshackle...
Its interesting you use the terms above...

My first reply to you was simply pulling you up on your patronising stab at CZ, with you claiming they hadnt answered your question, when infact they had--& that it was you who subtly placed a new set of perameters to your query.

Whilst i came straight out & questioned you, i did it politely, & straight to the point.

You immediately stabbed back at me, attempted to belittle me --effectively acting out exactly what you accuse others (me) of above...bullying, dick swinging bla bla bla...
Ofcourse we cant see that now because someone taddletailed...sorry...but just like a spoilt little brat...!!

You obviously dont like being challenged...& thats ok...we all say stupid stuff & feel like a dik sometimes...some more than others...but we have to take it on the chin sometimes...& not dictate to others what we "think" it would or should be like...

Research & disscussion is one thing...but yoir thread seems to have an alarmist GCA tone to it...

We're all keen on our own & childrens safety, but that doesnt mean xDom is a twat because he doesnt wear a space suit to shoot a rabbit at night.....
He's a twat cos he missed 2 easy shots last night... :lol: ( :thumbsup: :drinks: )...

Just relax...
Its ok for you to wear glasses with your pard... :thumbsup: we'd love to see a pic, & yes we'd laugh...but who goves a fuk if you're happy being so safe...

But if you're new to shooting...id suggest getting hold of a rifle & cracking some rounds out, & buy a spotlight & pop some bunnies...shoot your first fox...cook up the bunnies...share the recipe &/or the experience...
Then get a pard...
Then tell us if your blind 3 hunts later...

Enjoy... :drinks:
