  • REGION: Former sailor charged with stealing, selling Navy gear on eBay

    The original article on this made reference to a "filter to prevent enemy lasers from killing a night vison scope", Which makes sense. If you can destroy the night vison, as opposed to just shooting the enemy sniper, you deny another shooter the chance to see at night. Wonder how much of this is going on? Kinda justifies the desire for accesessory rails on the improved sniper rifle, so you can have a laser attached for counter sniper. Find the bad guy, and sight in on his night vision scope, tap the swith for the laser, (synced to your scope at distance), to take out the night vision, then shoot the sniper. ;):hammer:

    Since you already have him in sight why don't simply shoot him?

      as I said in the original post.....if you take out the enemy night vision scope, no one else can pick it up and use it, the flash from the laser would burn out the tube and render the scope useless, so they could not see at night. If you just shoot the sniper, someone else picks up the rifle and scope and contunues to use it. If your guys are the only ones that can see in the dark, big advantage! So if your sniper rifle has a laser AND nightvision, you have the chance to deny the enemy vision, and whack his sniper!

        On the other hand, that sniper could pick up a standard issue rifle lying around, and chances are pretty good that he's a better-than-average shot with one.

            The same question was going through my mind ..,:gunut: would the laser give away the position of the shooter?

              like Brylcream, a little dab would do ya, All it would take is a flash form a laser, less than a second to fry the intensifier, it would not have to be on long. Low light sources are extremely bright in a m night vision scope, so if the scope and laser are synced to the same spot, you would shoot a pulse into the enemy night vision, then immeadiatly shoot the guy using the scope. Apparently this is happening, if the are making a fiter to protect the night vision scopes from this.:deadhorse:

                Those would be two very different points of aim. The scope's sightline is straight, as is the laser beam, while the bullet path is curved.

                You are suggesting that the sniper should:
                1. adjust the elevation and windage to place the laser beam on point of aim at target range
                2. try to fry the opponent's scope with the laser, with dubious outcome
                3. count clicks on windage and elevation to change point of aim for the shot
                4. take out the opponent
                All while being at risk from counter sniper action?

                Decreasing possibility of successful outcome seems a poor course of action to take.

                If it truly is worthwhile to employ a laser, I think it might better be attached to the spotter's scope. Let the spotter operate the laser. Let the sniper focus on sending bullets.

                  My post was more of a question and a surmise! That if they make a classified/restricted filter for scopes that kills lasers, and lasers are small focused beams of light, as opposed to search lights, are the enemy trying to kill us night vision scopes using lasers. I suggested a reasoning, to see if anyone agreed, but really wanted to know if anyone really knew, and would still like to know. In the Iran/irag war thousands were blinded thru the use of lasers, now we are using them, and it maybe protection from our own people. http://www.stripes.com/news/military...1.92467:frown:
