If you're mounting the NOD behind an EOTech there's absolutely no requirement for an IR laser, you're just providing an aiming point for other NVG users to shoot at you.Well, my new kit is in, and looks great. Only issue is that I was sent the wrong shirt; Nomad instead of Highlander, like the rest of the uniform. But the two are so similar I am not going to bother replacing it. Love the camo, feels great, and is nice and cool (comparatively) for those blistering Florida days.
Also rocking my VFC XCR, which is sadly going to be retired soon. She's currently in night mode; with my XCortech all set up as well as a NVG optic co-witnessed with my Eotech 552 and an IR light/laser combo. For day battles the NVG is replaced with a 3x flip to side magnifier, and my GoPro(s) and Mobius are installed on the buffer tube and Eotech.
My custom VSR stock arrived today, so look out for some pics in the near future as well!
True. But this is just a placeholder setup. That is a real steel NV that is actually my grandfather's, costs around $4000. No way am I taking that to the field. My NVS that is on its way has just an IR light; I really wish there was a way to disable the laser on my current one. (I have taped the laser portion before, so that could be an answer). And my field I play on would be trigger's paradise; 98% of the people there are 15-16yo's who aren't very good at airsoft, but they are having fun (which is what's important); Ive been to two night games there and only one other person had NV; on a stock BAR 10 no less

One of my reasons for getting it. I have been in love with Kryptek's camos for years now, but I have only just been able to get my setup (wanted Typhon for The Mall). The bird's eye pattern blends in really well, and the pattern itself is great. Somehow I managed to make a large order from China with no real issues!
Just get a lexan lens protector! Airsoft with proper night vision is great funTrue. But this is just a placeholder setup.

I wouldn't absolutely recommend getting a helmet mount for it rather than the GG&G weapon mount you have now. That set up would be great for hog hunting, not so good for people hunting.

The one your grandfather owns isn't a scope though, it's designed to be head mounted. There's a reason every military that uses night vision head mounts it!Oh, mine is an actual scope as well. I dont like head-mounting NV; and I know how much fun NV games can be (especially when no one else has it
What NVG is that?Well, my new kit is in, and looks great. Only issue is that I was sent the wrong shirt; Nomad instead of Highlander, like the rest of the uniform.
