paradoxum Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 I just want a good looking one to mount on my VFX SCARH to look tacticool - doesn't need to function really just for aesthetics. Cheapest I am seeing on ebay is like these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223509557393 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/254182250986 Thanks in advance.
paradoxum Posted May 24, 2019 Author Posted May 24, 2019 I ended up getting this one: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33023707420.html Looks the business, cheap, not actually going to be used.
Joe 2.0 Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 So the specific nomenclature for the one you bought is the L3 Communications AN/PEQ-15, target designator, aiming device, and illuminator.
Keldon Posted May 26, 2019 Posted May 26, 2019 Ha ha I use to work for L3 different department though wish I picked up a few more things from them before I left.

No it isn't, that's a copy of an Insight/L3 LA-5B ATPIAL. Similar to a PEQ15, but not the same.

Looks pretty darn similar to the unit I had on my service rifle when I was in. EDIT: looked at L3/Insight’s website, looks to be functionally the same system, LA5B is just higher power than the issued AN/PEQ-15.
Supporters jcheeseright Posted May 27, 2019 Supporters Posted May 27, 2019 Look again, the LA5 is physically different to the PEQ15. It's not just higher power, the shape of the unit is different and so are the controls. 16 hours ago, Joe 2.0 said: Looks pretty darn similar to the unit I had on my service rifle when I was in.

paradoxum Posted May 29, 2019 Author Posted May 29, 2019 It has a little IFV light on the side which I can't see how it can be useful

It’s listed as a higher power version of the AN/PEQ-15.

HOWEVER, they have physical differences, the LA-5 LOOKS DIFFERENT and the OP asked for the specific nomenclature of the item he posted, which is an LA-5, not a PEQ15. A BMW M3 is a more powerful 3 series, but that doesn't mean you can call it a 320D! They're different.
