Half because it was slightly cheaper and half as a test to see if customs sucks.

Only had my PVS14 for a couple days so I don’t mind waiting another week

@TacticalBeard didnt you post about the pvs14 in another thread?

Also based. You'll love nightvision

Yes figured it would be better to post it down here

The steiner otal is all that was around budget wise in 2015. I'm now interested in perst

Have you looked at stars yet?

Actually no I haven’t like an idiot I’ll look up at them tonight

Like, looked up into the sky at night? You can see dust clouds, shooting stars if you look long enougj

Sweet.

Me and my old crew would be hog hunting

I'd be staring up, look down and see them 100 yards ahead of me. I'd get lost in space.

Lol

Pretty impressed with it so far it’s average specs. It’ll hold me over till I get a nice set of RNVGs

Pvs14 is more than adequate for general population use. Civies usually only have gen 1 or 2 and bluebois usually have only a few gen 3s if any per dept. Having night vision makes you better equipped than most people in the country, and the world comparing to militaries that still issue gen 2. Lots of countries only give nods to a few dudes.

Instead of rnvgs, I'd rather spend that money on ammo and train with the 14

O I’m very happy with it still lol

That’s something I’ve always wanted to do was a night time hog hunt

@TacticalBeard its fun

@TacticalBeard if I get to know you better maybe we can hunt some time. I've been outta the game for a few years

Sure thing. Im up in Michigan so there around down by the Ohio border.... for now hopefully the stay down there it would be a catastrophe if they make it to the UP . but nothing like in the southern states where they are everywhere

what distributer did you get for your pvs? ive heard horror stories of people buying a used tube that seemed legit but the only American part was the tube itself the internals were all shoddy Russian parts

@somethingoriginalx tnvc always

Steele industries has gotten good reviews for blem units (discounted heavily). 1700 for blem gen 3 vs tnvc's 3000 for new

*not new, unblemmed I meant

thanks man! i appreciate the help

@somethingoriginalx the unit is one of 4 things you'll want.

Helmet (the skeleton of the system)

Laser (the nerves, it's how you "touch" target)

And illuminator (one eye of two, the other being the unit itself)

@mcguyver123 yeah i was actually looking at some old hot show footage and some booth was showing pvs-14 duel mounts for a scalable system, and i know the whole boogie boy thing is to buy a knockoff airsoft helmet and mount +4k of gear on it

@somethingoriginalx shit, high cut helmets can be had for 200$ now. Surplus ach for $100. Nonreason not to go ballistic

Bump helmets make no sense outside of maritime use. Even then, modern polyethylene helmets work better as they're lightweight, float, and are ballistic

@mcguyver123 "$200 for high cut"
you were already my savior with the nvg's sight but latterly where do you find this

@somethingoriginalx hold on

https://botach.com/longfri-tactical-ballistic-helmets/

$300 for a 3M

https://botach.com/3m-combat-high-cut-ballistic-helmet-w-d30-blunt-trauma-force-7-pad-system/

So $100 more gets you an American helmet of higher quality. But both are ballistic lids.

@mcguyver123 you are a god why is your rank not higher

I use a surplus ach with dial liner. I've considered a high cut for comms tho.

@somethingoriginalx idk. I dont mind pleb rank. I'm here to help. This is squids domain, I'm a leader elsewhere lol

Wherever and whenever that maybe

@mcguyver123 still a chad in my book lol
