    Thank you, Lucas, for more amazing content. People forget what the Constitution of United States of America was for, and it wasn’t for there feelings. Also, the second amendment clearly states “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State.” Another words; you better have your gear in order; to take the fight to your enemy. You DON’T need to be able to afford the latest and greatest, but at least reliable, and know how to use it. Saying “Only the military should have that,” is a lie. God bless Lucas, and everyone else at T-Rex Arms. Hold the line!

    hope my comment doesnt get lost in the sauce here but im honestly surprised you brought up the PERST lasers. As I DO want a high power laser after using the high power modes on the PEQ-15s when I was in Afghanistan, I learned thats truly the best way to use an IR laser. Honestly alot more to it than just target acquisition. Seeing that high power beam is good to know a friendlies position as you can trace the beam back to your friendly and also see what hes looking at, its good to identify targets to other team members, and its amazing for signaling purposes. You can lasso it in the sky to mark your position to other elements on the ground or to signal aircraft above to show your current position. So having that high power beam holds much much more functionality than just being able to shoot targets under NODS. Could you actually do a video on the PERST??? I think alot of us would love to see how they hold up considering theyre high power and MUCH more cost effective and budget friendly. I would super super super appreciate a video on it and if you could definitely test them out more to see if that rumor of them not holding zeros as well holds to be true, because that would be a huge downfall for me. Not many videos on them and you go very in-depth and give your honest most true opinion and I value your opinion over others here on RUclips. so again, a video on the PERST would be super super sweet :D

      I'm on the fence between the PERST-4 with separate IR light such as an M300V, or just getting the PERST-3. Seems like it's hard to go wrong with either from what I've heard about them though.

    • @Kaotix_music
      @Kaotix_music 2 года назад

      @@AlbertaTacticalDude I think if you can afford the Pest 3? go for it! I think the biggest deciding factor between the 3 and the 4 is price. I think if you already have an IR light such as an m300v/600v, the 3 isnt so much needed and you can save on cost and get the 4, but if you want 1 unit to do both and you can fork up the money for it...get the 3

    The Russian laser module sounds usefull AF, especially for us Europeans (so it's not expensive and shipping takes max 1 month).
    Also personally i'd prefer the blue light one with the very dim outer circle and semi-bright middle circle, because the other ones just give me migraines even from watching it on a monitor....
    I have no personal experience, but i'd think it would be best to have a bright innercone for and have semi-bright outercone, just because you're probably more focussed on the innercone and the light doesn't blind you as much.

Maybe try a holosun option. The budget options for lasers should be removed from the talk even the old Steiner stuff even the atpial-c. They're so outdated I'd be willing to pay 2 to 3x the price to get 3-5x the performance especially with Pvs31s

    Literally all my questions just got answered between time 8:00 and 11:00 in the video. I now see why a lot of people don't run pistol lasers and why lights are more preferable. I ended up getting a X400U but I can make that work. So going further into the video It just seams that unless you have Nods lasers are not great or in this case based and for that I can see why Lucas pushes the light more espacially with this being two years ago in the middle of covid. So having a light source now and then IR lights and lasers later when you access Nods given that your saving money, but that is if the govt. doesn't try to ban them as well.

    If we are not allowed to buy a class 3 laser aiming device, how are protesters able to buy lasers that can blind people online? Are they really able to do permanent damage to the eye with only a few seconds of exposure? Are they perhaps only a class 1 laser? I remember people pointing them at airplanes 20 or so years ago and the FDA trying to put a stop to people buying those.

    I know this is 3 years old. 18650s weren’t new then. Vapes use to use them. Not the disposables the fancy ones that produced a lot of vapor and all that. And people were like omg flash lights run on vape batteries. No. Other way. 18650s have been flash light batteries for a long time.

    Would it be legal to modify the civilian lasers soldering a high power diode on there and messing with the controls ? 🤔

      Very little is “legal” in our “free” country.

      He did say it was legal to own high power lasers, just not for companies to sell them.
