Alright so I was basically wondering, since this scope uses the laser with the night vision does it have crosshairs for daytime? Or do they recommend that you switch out the laser for one that is men't for normal viewing while you just use the magnification on the scope? Or do you think that the laser is both for normal and night vision viewing? store.matrixbb.com/servlet/-strse-26692/%28REG-%24479.99%29-Night-Vision/Detail Also if you have any better suggestions on night vision scopes or whether to get one at all please share. Thanks, Eesti

I would be weary of buying an NVGs that don't tell you anything about the performance of the tube. www.opticsplanet.com has some decent gear at decent prices. I would stay away from the one you have picked out. Gen 1+ is likely what you will find in your price range.

I have done my fair share of research about that NV scope, and I am thinking of buying one for myself before Codename Thunder 5. Im not sure on the day time use of it, but the laser is a visible red laser, for use day or night. They can be found on ebay from credible shops for $300.

Thanks for the advice and the website, it has some great stuff on it. Oh and if you get it, fill me in on the performance. Thanks

No, it's not illegal. There are exportation laws however.

isnt night vision illegal? No. Legal to have. As far as airsoft goes, some events (of the few night ones there are) do not allow players to use NVGs/NODs. I know that some (all?) NVGs/NODs cannot be sold outside the US, to prevent it from getting in to the wrong hands. To my knowledge, this only applies to higher end NVGs/NODs (Gen 3 and up?) but may be all US made NVGs/NODs.

Obligatory reminder: Laser aiming devices are useless in airsoft, and sometimes not welcome at events due to the risk of eye damage.

Dont forget you will be wearing safty glasses. You might not see exactly what you plan to see when it's pressed right against your eye. (If you plan on using it for airsoft)

You can see through Yukon's with a pair of goggles. But, they're light sensitive and you can damage the lens or some shit, by looking at something too bright, such as flashlights or lasers.
