    Like any NVG device, direct exposure to intense light (such as daylight) most probably damage them in the long term.
    Flashing a torchlight onto them ain’t going to destroy them. I believe it would be a case of prolonged direct exposure to intense light that could render them useless.

    Can the goggles get damaged from two much light? I mean if I was playing airsoft and someone shined a flashlight into the lense, or something like that.

    Plus the military isn’t going to just LET you take home some NVG’s they will just give it to the next guy in line.

    The one I have is. But if you’re referring to the IR illuminator then that’s attached to the top part of the Viper.

    Is the IR torch separate?

    I turn it off and use an IR torch, like in my last game so that it doesn’t give my position away. It can be a little annoying if you’re attacking but as a defender, you can leave it on coz they know you’re there anyway.

    Yep

    I’d say from my last night game, I could see out to about 50 metres before things started to go a little blurry and dark

    They’re only $10,000 for gen4 mil-spec’s at optics4less, ask your parents for those instead of a car on your sweet 16.

    Is the “Red light” fairly bright? I don’t really want to buy this, and be found so quick… I just need an advantage for my games.

    Hi,

    Interested in getting these…say with some ambient light, some star light, half moon, with IR on, how far would you be able to see?

    Thanks.

    Don’t join the military unless A: you know whats going on in the world. No the fox news , whats really happening. America is infiltrated by war mongorers and bankers who (are not americans btw) seek global government, which includes the end of our legitimate government. Joining the military for night vision is childish as you will be used as a pawn. Your not a pawn sir, your a human being, but kissinger will refer to you (he has on record) and will treat you as such.

    It was an inside job.

    Well Its Not Like …
    Well Its Not Like The Guy Has to See U To Randomly Hit U In the Scope. Me Im an Airsoft Myself and Hope to Get My Ghillie Suit Primed and Ready For Sniping But I Just Want NVG’s So Bad I Wanna Have That Edge U Know I Might Be Joinin The Army Just To Get Those Gen 4( The Best NVGs ).

  20. bytemyshinymetalass Says:

    No not really but …
    No not really but its a risk that comes with the territory.
    It’ll take a pretty good shot to hit you square in the lens and in the dark.
    We’ve made these perspex covers for them and it protects the lens without messing up visual quality.

    Ya I Jus Chekd Out …
    Ya I Jus Chekd Out Ur Chan and You Play Paintball Huh Isnt It Kind of Dumb Using That For Paintball Cuz If a Paintball Hits that thing ur out $200 and sumthin bucks just the impact would it up but if that didnt do it the paint would definately mess up the lens Messin Up the Clarity and make the picture smudgy

  22. bytemyshinymetalass Says:

    I’ve tested it …
    I’ve tested it without the IR illuminator on in our last night game and it worked fine as long as there is enough ambient light around.
    I had a 3W IR torch with me and that helped as it doesn’t give your position away as easily as the IR LED doesn’t shine as much as the IR on the ATN NVGs.

  23. SSJSasuke777 Says:

    Wat I Mean Is I …
    Wat I Mean Is I Wanted To See How it Worked Without the IR Light and See How it Sees in a Pitch Black Room Without IR Because I Wanna Be Able To Sneek Around My House Without The istance of Moonlight or IR

    Yep. Absolutely. Worked like a charm.
