Night Vision Equipment

The Aimpoint M68 Close Combat Optic (CCO) is a great red-dot reflex sight but BE CAREFUL TO TURN IT OFF SO YOU DON’T KILL ITS DL123 LITHIUM BATTERY! These are expensive batteries and you already have a plethora of batteries to keep charged to power your myriad of devices. One way to insure the CCO is off is by painting some marks on its on/off knob so there’s no doubt as to its condition:

There are even rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-ion “Lion”) DL123 batteries available now!

FYI, I was the USMC officer who lead that stodgy, known distance (KD) range outfit into 21st century reflex and night shooting by researching the U.S. Army Special Forces Son Tay POW camp rescue mission which used Swedish Aimpoiint sights:

…and then doing a “market survey” to find the best, red-dot collimator sight available commercially, off-the-shelf (COTS)–that even the cheapskate marines could afford:

I prefer the Trijicon red-dot sights like OEG and ACOG because they are tritium, radioactive element powered and don’t need batteries and my eyes have binocular vision. However, some Soldiers don’t have the ability to shoot with both eyes open so it makes sense that the U.S. Army chose the see-through Aimpoint to be their M68 CCO; though the ACOG is also see-through. The battery power also can be adjusted to make the red dot very bright for those who don’t have perfect 20-20 vision.

Another aspect that’s great about the Aimpoint M68 CCO is that you can not have your eyes perfectly aligned behind the sight and have the red-dot on your target, fire and hit it (ASS U Ming your weapon is zeroed to the sight) and that you can wear Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) or place an image intensifier device behind it and get night reflex firing capabilities.

An incredible piece of video, recently released by the Israeli Army, shows how in the volatile ground shared by Israelis and Palestinians — high tech often meets low tech in basic battles for survival.

***

What you’re looking at are thermal images taken from an Israeli unmanned drone flying high above on the night of July 21. Two figures catch the eye of the drone operator sitting in a comfortable office far away. The figures are identified as Palestinian gunmen approaching the fence separating the Gaza Strip from Israel. The two gunmen move slowly among the bushes.

An Israeli unit is dispatched on a mission of interception, and you can see clearly that both sides are moving very slowly heading toward a collision.

The Palestinian gunman realizes that the Israeli forces are a few feet away and opens fire. A gun battle erupts. The black dots flying everywhere are the hot rifle shells. At this point one Palestinian gunman lies dead.

The explosion you see on the top right side is a grenade that was thrown by the second Palestinian gunman. The grenade explodes and doesn’t injure any Israeli soldier.

One of the Israeli officers is roughly five feet from the surviving gunman and he decides to charge; but he makes a crucial mistake and doesn’t remember to change his empty cartridge.

This is where low tech meets high tech.

With all the armored gear both sides have — night vision goggles, automatic rifles, grenades, and a sophisticated remote controlled drone in the air — what the Israeli officer is left with is wrestling the Palestinian to the ground with his bare hands.

You can see the officer standing up and running towards the Palestinian, but with no shells flying, he reaches the Palestinian and they are left tied up in a bundle, each fighting for his life.

The Palestinian pulls out another grenade and the Israeli manages to turn the Palestinian in the direction of the explosion, which kills the Palestinian, and leaves the Israeli officer only slightly wounded.

This piece of video is just a small and short testimony to the reality both sides face in this conflict, which occurs daily on the Israeli and Palestinian Gaza border.

This film footage is a night vision movie from Iraq, showing real live action against Iraqi insurgents. The pictures were taken from an AC130 Specter gunship two and a half miles away. The guys in the picture are setting up a roadside bomb and planning to ambush an American convoy which followed a short while after the pictures were taken.
