Yeah NIJ listed

2020-04-30 22:03:19 UTC  

They've got some decent kits for around $400 right now with no lead times.

2020-04-30 22:03:28 UTC  

Decent-looking*

2020-04-30 22:04:19 UTC  

So long as they aren't steel and they're rated, why not?

2020-04-30 22:04:34 UTC  

Yeah.

2020-04-30 22:04:42 UTC  

Yeah, those look fine, although single curves will be annoying after a while

2020-04-30 22:05:04 UTC  

I'm not easily annoyed. Willing to give it a shot.

2020-04-30 22:05:56 UTC  

Meaning, they don’t conceal as well, and will hurt your shit a little faster than multi-curve. Not the end of the world, just something to consider

2020-04-30 22:09:16 UTC  

Pros and cons of running a thermal optic vs a standard one

2020-04-30 22:09:53 UTC  

Pros, you can see more shit in the dark. Cons, You can't see color and it can eventually start to mess with your eyes, and depth perception is pretty meh.

2020-04-30 22:11:35 UTC  

Also, batteries. you're depending on them to even be able to use your optic. Same can be said with some red dots too, but there's options out there that don't require batteries at all, or they at least last a while.

2020-04-30 22:13:55 UTC  

Really, it depends on your mission and if you can get steady resupply.

2020-04-30 22:14:34 UTC  

Thermal optics have lag

2020-04-30 22:14:48 UTC  

Can’t see through glass

2020-04-30 22:14:51 UTC  

Poor eye relief

2020-04-30 22:15:05 UTC  

Sparrow my baseline for a red dot is 150 to 200 minimum anything less is a range toy and not to be trusted

2020-04-30 22:16:14 UTC  

Unless you’re just like, hog hunting, I would go thermal spotter and then regular optic with analog NV on your gun

2020-04-30 22:16:39 UTC  

Or run fusion on your lid and a laser on your gun

2020-04-30 22:17:53 UTC  

I wouldn't use a thermal as a main optic personally. Not unless it's just for hunting, and night time. Great for spotting, that really all I'd want one for though.

2020-04-30 22:19:07 UTC  

I mean thermals are dope, but I use them for observation and identification, not as an aiming device

2020-04-30 22:19:38 UTC  

Okay, weapon mounted thermal for spotting or seperate device?

2020-04-30 22:20:03 UTC  

Separate device unless you have a dedicated thermal rifle like serious hog hunters

2020-04-30 22:20:09 UTC  

^

2020-04-30 22:20:16 UTC  

That would be my recommendation.

2020-04-30 22:20:57 UTC  

Hell, depending on how heavy you want that thing to be, you could put the thermal on an offset mount for spotting and then adjust from there. But that'd be unweildy.

2020-04-30 22:21:10 UTC  

Uhhhh

2020-04-30 22:21:25 UTC  

I mean I *guess* you could rig a FLIR breaxh lije that

2020-04-30 22:21:42 UTC  

Yeah... that's a possibility....

2020-04-30 22:22:22 UTC  

Sounds very call of duty lmao

2020-04-30 22:22:33 UTC  

Hahaha, screw it. Buy a Reap IR

2020-04-30 22:23:27 UTC  

With all that said, any reccomendations for thermal spotting scopes?

2020-04-30 22:23:33 UTC  

Bruh for that money you could get a pvs14 and a ecoti

2020-04-30 22:23:49 UTC  

Hahaha, I know. The Reap IR thing was a joke.

2020-04-30 22:24:04 UTC  

That's for them rich boys.

2020-04-30 22:25:09 UTC  

Just grab your PAS-28, throw it on the tripod on top of your spotting scope, hook it into your tough book, grab a 152, snag a satcom slot and stream it to the COC, it’s not that hard guys

2020-04-30 22:25:57 UTC  

If I knew what anything in that sentence meant I might have gotten the joke

2020-04-30 22:26:15 UTC  

Sorry haha

2020-04-30 22:26:37 UTC  

If I wanted thermals I would snag a used FLIR breach or PTS22something

2020-04-30 22:27:27 UTC  

Lmao, hahaha. Yeah, sorry.

2020-04-30 22:27:46 UTC  

Used Leopold LTO is very afforabdle for a having thermal capabilities

2020-04-30 22:27:56 UTC  

Not great res and range tho
