I would be really curious to see how much power that IR laser is putting out because that was crazy bright! I wonder if they just took an off the shelf 5mw 532nm diode and ripped out the frequency doubling resonator, in which case that could easily be putting out >25mw.
Hey brother, have you done any more testing with this thing? Ive been very interested in putting one on my 22lr AR pistol build but cant find enough content about how it holds up
How is the visible aiming laser? It looks like the newest numbers from Somogear have downgraded the power of both the full power visible and the full power IR lasers significantly. Are they as bright as before and this “greater than 4mW” is actually equal to the “greater than 40mW” that was cited at one time?
This is the perfect example of how much mark up there is in the gun industry!! How if you do your research or have knowledge of material you’ll notice how top end Airsoft gear is made out of the exact same material, does the exact same thing but is way way cheaper and how just because it “Airsoft” people think it’s not good enough for a real gun and will spend 3,4,5,8 times the money one something that is almost identical but isn’t “Airsoft”. Obviously this doesn’t apply to all Airsoft stuff but when something is made out of 6000 or 7000 series aluminum and is identical to the “real” gun part made out of the same 6000 or 7000 series aluminum just because it’s for an Airsoft gun and is way cheaper doesn’t mean it’s inferior, it’s literally the exact same thing!! I’ve seen this time and time again and I just laugh as myself and anyone else that knows material and manufacturing is paying way less for the exact same part. Again, this only pertains to certain parts, but there are more than enough of them were you can save a shit ton of money. For example, a one to one exact replica airsoft ar 15 made out of the exact same series aluminum that hang guard is going to be identical to the one on the real AR 15, the only difference is one is considerably cheaper and the gun manufacturing companies are just laughing their asses off as they up charge the identical hand guard that was put it in the “real” gun basket vs the Airsoft basket. It’s just like when gun companies came out with 7000 series aluminum versus 6000 series, if you know about this type of aluminum you would know that you would never ever ever be in a situation or your gun would ever be in a situation where the benefits of 7000 series aluminum would come into play!! It’s like buying a truck, the most amount of weight you’ll ever pull is 10,000lbd and there are 2 trucks for sale 1 is rated to pull 20,000lbs and the other is rated to pull 30,000lbs the 20,000lbs truck is quite a bit cheaper and other then that they are exactly the same minus there towing capacity. Again you’ll only ever pull 10,000lbs yet you go out and buy the 30,000lbs truck cause it can tow more but again you will only ever pull 10,000lbs.
Im waiting on a raid x laser now to try. Dont have much hopes. Theres literally only one video on it with someone testing it and he was testing for someone so he beat the crap out of it. It survive 1500 as of the video. So i guess we'll see what happens. My thing is if the Chinese can produce this kind of tech at this price point why isnt there a affordable ir laser and designator on the civilian market? Because it would muk things up for them how much they are getting for that stuff in military contracts that everyone's tax dollars pay for. Its not the land of free anymore its the land of the con artist. Sorry.
@@taskforce316 I didn't even fire a bullet with it. I literally put it on and took it right back off. The fake dimmer knob on the back literally fell off as soon as I took it out of the package. That didn't sit well with me.
Still overpaid if thats what you paid for it. Theyre under 200 bucks all day. Matter of fact closer to the 120 end. Same thing as you have. And from others reports it doesnt hold zero. But id like see your updated video regardless. Thanks.
That is not correct, there are several different versions available that function entirely differently. At the bottom are plastic flashlights, in the middle there are aluminum ones that have low power lasers, LED IR and white lights that don't function like a MAWL, and at the top end there are those that have full-power lasers and IR illuminator that function like an actual MAWL with no white LED.
@@emcaccoc3allie price r a lil lower across the board for all options actually/ the no ir ones are half the cost . eBay and Amazon prices fit the trend u noticed 100% tho
God bless you!!! Finally, we got a normal review of this device!!! Good luck!!!
Glad I could help!
Can you do another video on this???? With the vis/IR laser co-alignment?!?!” Please!!???
When are we getting a more in depth video on this?
very soon, and ill be comparing to a lot of similar options on the market

id like to know too, but it is the brightest one ive used to date
This is 50mW - 100mW@@taskforce316
They have these in stock again? Their site is confusing. Says sales suspended... but also says in stock.
hit them up on instagram, thats where you have best luck @wenyang_10

How bright is the white light?
Does it hold Zero?

Somgear and gokugear are sister companies?
Not exactly sure but gokugear owner is also somogear employee
Any1 have some thoughts on this model vs cqbl-1 or perst-4 clones ? Pretty similar prices on all 3
I'm mostly only interested in the visual laser performance but welcome all inputs ty

Why do you sound like you’re constantly out of breath?
Cause I'm saved by the blood of the Lamb and will spend eternity in heaven. As a result, I'm out of breath alot
