If I made tons of money, I was thinking how cool it would be to get a FLIR system for milsim games. Honestly, how cool would that be? Anyways, I'm in the market for a good pair of binocs (or monocular) that would serve well for a forward observer (my favorite thing to do). Any ideas? And, also, again, how effin sweet would a FLIR system be on the field? Cheapest one I could find was seven grand.

You can get much kewler Thermal gear for around that price. (Well 9k) I've been looking into them for a while. I may have something cool for you to check out soon.
For the bino's what type of zoom do you want? More than an average airsoft optic?

I played at an event down here in just northeast of ATL this March and they had 2 FLIR units similar to what firefighters use. It was crazy being able to see a human body clear as day about 100 yards away in the pitch black.
We did an attack/defend scenario of a real generator and the last game it was 3 vs 10 defenders. Needless to say the attackers knife killed every defender. Definitely opens your eyes to what Special Forces could really pull off with the best tech.
FWIR is definitely awesome but you tend to get tunnel vision and rely on it too much after awhile. In a woodland setting it would be perfect, CQB not so sure.
