AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

So here's where I get to talk about being a night vision nerd.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

So, on a rifle like this, a lot of LPVOs will have a night vision settings.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

They're utterly useless.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

You cannot use night vision with an LPVO.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

It is fucking impossible.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

End of story.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

Anyone who says it can be done, that's like, okay, technically, yes, you can line up your 40mm tube, which is 3 inches off your face, with the eye relief perfectly on your LPVO.

But realistically, it's not going to happen.

Offset dots at a 45 degree, I don't like for passive aiming as much as anything towards the 12 o'clock because you want to get your head up over the gun more so that you are not going to clonk your tubes into the back of your tube.

So this hostile engagement ring has it at like a really high 45 degree.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

It works, but it's at a really weird spot for my face.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

Fair.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

All I want to do with your setup is you should definitely do this.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

You should mount those two dots.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

It's going to take a while to figure out the spacing so that you can shoot with both eyes open looking through two dots at the same time.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

Oh, there's a way.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

With enough 3D printing, anything's possible.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

for up close shooting inside i don't know fucking 50 yards maybe nothing beats a red dot yeah lpvos can get close but nothing beats the actual like just looking straight through a tube dot or neotech if you want to be a nerd

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)

And you're like, nope, there's no eye relief involved.

Firearms Radio Network (All Shows)
AK-47 Radio Show 023 โ€“ Overview of Optical Options

There's no, oh, it's slightly 1X.
