Wanted. Fire fly

Post by Bri2506 » 29 Apr 2017, 17:58

I'm after a fire fly or an illuminator than be focused in to a tight beam, to mounted on side of a thermal. Cheers

Does thermal 'see' IR lasers? :shock:

No, it doesn't but it may be the case that the OP wants an IR source on his thermal so he can Illuminate the target for the shooter who is using NV but doesn't want an illuminator mounted on the rifle.
I've built a couple of roof mounted thermal spotters which have IR illuminators fitted. The spotter operator finds and tracks the target and the shooter simply points the rifle and shoots without having to faff around adjusting the beam on the illuminator from flood (to find the target) to spot to take the shot.

Good thinking Bruce. Us non thermal guys would be unlikely to think of that until a need arises. :angel:
