So, your primary night fightin' gun goes down and now you gotta use someone else's thing with your night gear and zero it during the day without being able to confirm your zero with live fire at night. No worries, you can just use a bucket and a quarter.
Now I'm curious to know what happened to the rifle you were planning on using.
same, underrated comment!
If you go back to the WWSD - Competition Edition video you can see Karl briefly show a Springfield Hellion that looks kitted out for NV use
@@tastychunks true, I'm more curious about what happened than which rifle it happened to.
Karl wearing the Kaffiyeh like a legend
I find the difference between what Hop got out of the opsin and what Karl gets out of it fascinating
What happens when you focus on the positives vs the negatives of a product... potential isn't practice, but no potential means no results.
Could be variation in lens quality or other unique software/hardware problems, hard to troubleshoot digital devices on that front tbh.
Skill issue
Most likely different ambient lighting conditions…
me too, I cant say im disappointed that i went with a higher end analog system off the back of his reviews and a few others but i do with i had trusted my gut and my eyes and tried one of these opsins out
Moon phase, light pollution, weather, etc. plays a huge factor in performance. You have to have light to amplify. Hop put the Opsin in conditions that even analog units struggle with. His review was both valid and informative, but you also need to factor use case into it. The conditions Karl was in looked favorable for the Opsin relative to Hop’s. Get what you can afford and train with it. I still recommend analog to people though.
Night shooting is crazy, I've done it several times. It's so hard to engage targets at night. Things you don't think about during the day, like the smoke from smokeless powder impeding your vision at night.
Leaves or high grass in your line of sight.
First thing I noticed was how slow Karl was moving. It makes total sense to me. I've never used night vision, but I gotta assume it's still hard as hell to see where you're going, let alone a rifle target that's at distance out in front of you.
Always good to see the simple methods working successfully :-)
I had never heard that you're not supposed to run a suppressor on a pencil barrel...because I've been doing just that
I guess the internet didn't get to you! lol
@@InrangeTv Apparently I have failed at being terminally online
Prolly cant own a gun for another several years but i love this channel. Guns by an actually sane person, rarity on this site!
The Ospin is such a wild picture to get used to. I’m just too used to green hues. Now I’m curious as to why the first night fighting rifle went down.
I do admire when a quick and dirty method like this is successful. Shows the fundamentals are thought out. Obviously fine tuning for ideal performance is valid but its good to be able to get functional easily.
looks like it works just fine, bet those pounds (weight not british money) you saved on the WWSD come in handy when youre carrying all those bolt on's
If physical movement is a concern ..newsflash.. you won't survive the first week...you weren't ready in the first place .
@@lucasmcculla1283 its a sport nerd not world war 3 and thats still the dumbest statement anyones ever made
Suppressors on a pencil barrel are bad? Hmm... I wish I had known that before I ran a 7" can on a 16" pencil barrel on a battle rifle. As long as I didn't do stupid stuff like rest the can on a berm shooting 400 yards, it worked extremely well. Top 25% in my first Brutality Match.
Seeing the night shooting now makes me wonder just how much more difficult it would be if the targets weren't just flat, smooth pieces of steel, but rather had some padding and clothes. I'd assume they would be even harder to spot, but I'd also be interested in how much more difficult it would be to spot whether or not the laser is on the target.
I might not ever put this to use but it's great info! Thanks for the practical tip as always!
Can't wait to hear about the first rifle.
2 is 1, 1 is none. ☹️
Nice proof of concept with the zero method. Thanks.
Great to experiment and good results
Every oopsie is a good learning experience

Carbon fiber handguard and suppressor on a pencil barrel?
I'm shocked your gun didn't explode into a 1000 pieces when reloading.
Does carbon fiber not handle heat well? I never heard of that issue but also never had a fiber handgaurd to see
As I was looking at your IR laser on that carbon fiber rail my initial reaction was to ask if that would hold zero but then I remembered the Mk12 SPR and it had a carbon fiber free floating rail and I have seen those setup with IR lasers mounted to the carbon fiber handguard and those apparently held zero so I don't think that would really be a problem eh? I guess the difference is yours is mounted to a piece of pic rail(I assume) that is mounted with mlok which may not be ideal but if its tight and has thread locker it'd probably be fine imo. The internet always has opinions but often times those opinions are simply regurgitated and lack context.
My only real question is how you like that rail cover? Does it protect your hand from the heat of a suppressed gun? I just got my first suppressor and it definitely makes the gun hot if you shoot a few mags. I am currently using Slate Black Industries polymer rail covers and I have them covering the whole area my hand touches. I worry that this may be counter productive as it may actually hold in heat. I honestly don't know, perhaps I need a better solution?
If it's stupid but it works, it's not that stupid.
I'd like to know more about that suppressor and how it looks to be tucked under the handguard.
To zero your IR laser, you can use your green laser, project it onto a target, which is being looked upon a phone on videocall from a feet away. Phones can see IR lasers
I am interested if Karl will contrast the pros and cons of carbon fiber handguards versus magnesium alloy ones.
ODG gang! Also, skull crushers are no joke.
Go Karl!!
Eeeeyyyy West-by-God-Virginia mentioned. Remember to get some pepperoni rolls and WV hot dogs.
Why is it you aren't supposed to put a laser on a free float tube?
Possible tork/deflection if it's insufficiently rigid. Some detractors tried to say that was particularly problematic with our carbon fiber tube, but that's just nonsense...as is usual.
@InrangeTv Rigidity of carbon fiber reinforced composites is EXTREMELY high when the part is designed to take the load the the fiber directions. Something like five or six times as high as cast magnesium or wrought, heat treated 6061-T6 aluminum. How did people come up with the idea that CFRP is squishy?
@@elektro3000 If I had to guess, probably because fiberglass can be... Less than rigid if it's made poorly. And If your only experience with composites is shitty fiberglass, I can see getting that impression
So like zeroing your red dot on your irons' zero or vice versa; quick and dirty, but good enough for hitting torso sized silhouettes.
The easier and more precise way to do it all without firing a single shot is at night using your NV is to overlap your already zeroed optic with your "IR" laser at the furthest distance you can see, that easy ask of your holds over/under are the same 25 yards out as your optic. A slaved laser will not be exactly the same as your vis laser since both of the diodes are "offset" from one another. Being slaved means the same adjuster moves both of them at the same amount at the same time. To have the Vis/Ir to be truly stacked on top of one another you would have to use the same LED diode for both Ir/Vis lasers
What I did succeeded in hitting a 200 yard target with the laser under NVGs. I'd consider that successful.
@@InrangeTv Passively aim through your optic at different distances vs zeroing the way I do and see the difference. Hits can be made past 400 easily with the method I explained.
If it works, it works!
What's the jacket you're wearing there, Karl?
That looks like a Propper TAC.U
I have owned several Propper products, they are good enough for the job. They have other product lines that are authorized by regular army forces.
IR laser on a carbon fiber free float handguard is a "no no"?
Those "experts" should look at all the PEQ-2s and LA-5s mounted to Mk.12 Mod.0 rifles.
They dont hold zero mine broke at the base from very little force. The aluminum piece that attaches to barrel nut detached from handguard really pissed because handguard was 300 bucks
It worked.
USEC and BEAR operatives would like to know your location.
Is midnight brutality still intermediate cartridge only? I watched the video from last year's midnight brutality. I read the rules, but I most easily found what the targets are calibrated for, not necessarily what the maximum cartridge is
Midnight is intermediate only, yes.
Missed a spot!
Oh no wait, you didn't.
Neat!!
What is a brain exploder?
A camera you can use to film through the pvs7.
So, Karl, did your rig go FUBAR or RUD?
Imaging zeroing on trash and not mag dumping.
@InrangeTv >>> Great video...👍
Just curious, was that rainbow patch on his left arm representing the alphabet people or something else entirely?

Such a different environment than Karl is used to. I wonder how weird it is being in a forest at night for a desert guy. I’m a forest guy wondering about the desert
