      They’re very great at what they do and take care of their products. I already received word they’re looking into the slight misalignment of their lasers on the unit I got. It wasn’t assembled in their normal process as I needed them to rush me a unit last second for the video, but the fact they’re immediately investigating and making sure they’re products meet their standards says a lot

      Because it’s so long, the algorithm doesn’t circulate it. If someone only watches the 5-10 mins I’d guess they do, then UA-cam thinks the video doesn’t hold people attention due to percentage viewed. But the goal was to be helpful, even if it doesn’t go viral

    Best laser comparison on UA-cam bar none!!! . Bravo. However, similar to a couple others that have reviewed the perst3 they did not realize that power levels on both the laser and illuminator are independently adjustable just like the raid X. it’s awesome! It saves the program that you had it on. If I remember, I think there’s five power levels on both the illuminator and the laser. attorney illuminator on high or maybe even two notches down from high, but you always have the laser on low and it works perfectly in almost all situations. Under 100 yards diffuser cap.

    I’m mostly curious because the WMX200 is still pretty common in current pics of SOF despite being relatively old. I doubt its white light performance is the reason.

    Any chance of doing the same tests either a OGL, DBAL A4, an/peq16, an/peq16 a & b, Perst 4 and LLM-01? Maybe a Vario-Ray if you can find one. It would be interesting to compare these to the other military issued unit’s you’ve already done.

    Wow, unreal video! Big thanks to those who sent their gear in to make this possible.
    As a MAWL C1+ owner, I'd really like a clone that i could use for airsoft. The WADSN seems like it was pretty much just a bad illuminator flood, right? Are you aware of any other clones currently available or coming to market?
    Of course i can just use my real one, but i really don't like having a 3k device on an airsoft rifle.

    • @4MRRanch
      @4MRRanch  9 місяців тому

      The WADSN was definitely a flood only and from what I can tell many of the WADSN clones don’t n have The IR illuminator so you gotta take what you can get. I think it’s usable within 100 yards. Not sure how far your Airsoft engagements will be..

    • @JamesMelton

    Another great content creator representing Texas. Good job brother, that was a lot of work.
    But I wonder if there's somebody out there that could tell me if some of these OverPowered devices wouldn't be a better fit for a generation 2 or 2 plus PVS 14.
    For somebody that only uses their night vision a few times a year, I just never could rationalize spending the extra money to upgrade.
    Yeah the resolution is probably a little lower and the contrast is definitely a little lower. But aside from getting whipped in the nuts by the occasional young Mesquite tree that I didn't catch they work pretty good😂.

    • @4MRRanch
      @4MRRanch  9 місяців тому +1

      Older Gen NV is not nearly as efficient with their signal to noise ratio. I drive around hog hunting in black out conditions in my truck, I need the best signal to noise ratio possible because of the loss of light transmission through my windshield. Id imagine Gen 2 or older would be much harder to navigate with or spot wildlife.
      In term so far power output of some of the units, I’d say that’s why it’s important to have adjustable power based on your application or the ability to diffuse or diverge the beam substantially to where it’s not as concentrated of a hot spot but still strong enough to light the environment.
      Of you didn’t see the photonic barrier segment, be sure to check that portion out.

    Great review, one thing I'll say is the dudes using these devices know very little about them. I was in 3rd batt and we used the peq15s snd switched to NGALS. Some dudes loved it and some hated it. It all comes down to the operator using his gear to effectively complete the mission.

      @4MRRanch  9 місяців тому +1

      I will be doing a dedicated DIR-V review soon. So far though, I can’t justify the almost double price tag of the mawl. The DIR-V is super capable, you just can’t swap from close to far range rapidly without moving a diffuser whereas the mawl has two mode buttons.

    • @4MRRanch
      @4MRRanch  9 місяців тому

      I had to manually turn the gain down on the PVS 14 tube so as not to wash the image out. When the image is washed out, it’s harder to tell if I’m potentially causing damage to the tube because I can’t see anything. Concentrated bright spots that sit for too long on the view angle of a night vision tube can cause temporary and sometimes permanent damage.
