Night Vision tricks

^^ THATS exactly what I was talking about earlier. One of my biggest pet peeves playing here (italy). Im actually quite comfortable without NVG's, did a lot of Night ex shit way back in the day, so its no biggy. But then mr. Facking Taclight comes along and "BLing" there goes you vision!

LOL DAMNIT HE FIGURED ME OUT! lol ya there are people that are playing with NV at defcon outdoor a simple falsh from a phoenix blinded them just enoughfor me to rap around and kill him lol, But my NV unit is still in the works.

I went looking around on the net Gen 1 night visions monocles can be pretty affordable found some for around 300 ish. The only problem is Gen 1 night vision still require some lighting like moonlight. On a perfectly dark night you won't be seeing anything through them unless you use an IR emitter. If you use an IR light anyone with night vision or a camera can see you. How about IR hand grenades. If enough people throw some than the enemy area will be pretty well lit maybe even 40mm IR grenades for those with grenade launchers. Even the guys with cheaper Gen 0's can be somewhat useful.

I too am sourcing out night-vision muhahaha

In the works an Active IR Warning system starts beeping when someone trains IR light on you.

lol outsourcing, essentially there is no way about getting cheap night vision, i guess if you want real practical night vision your gonna need the green, oh btw King I mcguyvered the mag catch lol.

Probably the cheapest gen 1 I can find It's hand powered or something but you probably can mcguyver it to run on batteries.

I actually tried to set something similar up, with IR LEDs on my teammates (I'm one of two guys who consistently use NVDs here)

Haven't actually tried it yet, and I suspect the LEDs I purchased may be too dim to really be useful, but everything is setup for a run.

IR LEDs come in different wavelengths. The lower the better for NV viewing/illuminating. Your LEDs might not be "dim" so much as too high of a wavelength especially if the NV is older gen.

Think of all the cool things that will happen when someone shines a chinese green laser in the direction of yer head, too.

If it was in Septemberish 07, probably, fuck I wouldn't even fight back (much) if you were to go after me.

On a serious note, that would be a major safety concern, since even those LED torch lights could burn both the NVG tube and your retinas.

Some night vision devices have a bright light cutoff circuit to save the life of the tube and the users retinas.

It's about the pants you're wearing and the pants you're team mate is wearing, Is it real multi cam or is it Chinese repro multi cam? I don't know but in the end it's still multicam.
