Transcripts
hey brass fact here I'm uh completely
worn out after two days of shot barely
hanging on by a thread but I wanted to
get a video out so pardon the impromptu
nature of this or the fact that I'm
using what is essentially a lapel mic
held up to my face my voice is dying my
feet no longer work and I'm running out
of booze let's do this everyone is
excited about 42 different lever guns
that are coming out of it Shot Show
because apparently that's the thing this
year but my obsession and I think cuz
you watch me your obsession is a little
more
autistic so laser aiming modules the
cheap ones suck the good ones cost more
than your night vision and the only
mid-tier recommendation is something
like a gray Market full power PEC that
if it breaks you can never fix it ever
again power-wise all of these units I'm
about to discuss are on par with the
$3,000 $4,000 five engs are like what
$5,000 devices on the market right now
they'll they'll be able to keep up you
know you know assuming these products do
what they say they're going to do or in
some cases do what we think they're
going to do because not even the
manufacturer surely knows yet right a
lot of this stuff is up in the air yeah
it's a shot show right like what do you
think come on give me break so let's
let's let's crack straight into it uh so
the ugle you know the the the L3 or who
EOTech is not going to be happy that I
messed that one up the EOTech oogle I'm
calling it oogle because that's all
you'll ever be able to do with it oogle
it on the website cuz uh it really feels
like vaporware at this point I'll say
what I said last year call me when it's
uh on the horizon to be released the
actual point of this video this is where
things get interesting the hollow sun
Iris let me give you the rundown real
quick if you haven't seen 42 different
shot videos about this thing super small
uh it's a little longer but less tall
than you know say a dball engal whatever
on the left you have a up and down dial
it's just Center is uh off up is high
power and low is low power that's it
right so three modes off high low on the
top you have your press the fire and
then on the rear you have another button
which I I thought at first was also a
fire button but that's actually the
power selector honestly it sucks it's
not very good basically hold for about 2
seconds and it swaps between either the
viz or IR mode and the only thing the
only thing that really indicates which
mode you are on is the LED emitter on
the back the really small one that
basically all LS has blue for ir and
green for the viz laser unfortunately
when you're under night vision you can't
it looks the same right that's that's
not how Color Works under night vision
so I suspect a lot of people are going
to act at the wrong mode many times it's
not the end of the world uh but it's a
it's a very shortsighted design in my
opinion anyways who cares on the top you
have a Focus patterner right so it's
basically just a slider forward brings
it in pulling back uh loosens it out so
you get your flood and then all the way
to what seems to be a very tight beam
more important thing that I was trying
to figure out and honestly everyone is
trying to figure out with this thing is
what is the power level behind that
Illuminator that's why we're so excited
about this thing because it's a Vale
illuminator the laws that limit it to
about 7 Ms to prevent eyeball damage do
not apply because uh really stupid
reasons honestly but it doesn't matter
Vell allows us to get around it and
allows us to get 20 30 40 50 Ms on our
Illuminator which is really what we want
no one at the booth has any idea what
this thing is powered at the best I got
was look at the brochure and the
brochure is even more worrisome because
it just says in a single line at the
back laser and or emitter 7 m that is
awful if that's the Illuminator even
worse Nick Chen compared this at a one
of the range days and it looked like a
complete Civ power laser I mean they're
all Civ power lasers but you know what I
mean maybe this is cope but I think the
initial answer is uh it just had a weak
sauce battery in it right it SHOT show
everyone is pressing this thing no one
knows how to turn this [ __ ] off uh so
maybe it drained its entire battery a
little impromptu test that I ended up
doing was I came back this a little
later with a pbs1 14 and a fresh battery
we we Juiced it up and then pointed it
at the wall and you can actually see the
Illuminator right it looks weak and
anemic but remember this is a daylight
bright Booth so the tube is auto gated
to all hell so the fact that we can see
it means this is certainly more powerful
than 7 Ms that the the brochure tends to
indicate so anyway I I don't know it
this thing looks insanely promising at
800 bucks [ __ ] even if this was sub 1500
bucks i' I'd be stoked about this thing
if it delivers and if it you know
fulfills all the promises that's where
contestant 2 enters the AAL from zebol
this thing was almost a tragedy well it
was a tragedy they teased in sometime in
2022 then out of nowhere it just died
multiple comments from what I believe
was the CEO stated that yeah it's you
know DOA or it didn't even arrive it's
just dead but turns out uh the skies are
parting and we are in the year 2024 the
year of our Lord and savior laser aiming
modules and it's back on track baby uh
looking at the pictures online I was a
bit you know you know it'll be good but
it it just looks like a D2 right it's
got that big bulbous emitter on the
sides but I'm telling you seeing this
thing in person this thing is a lot
smaller than the images lead on it's
about the size of a PEC 15 but it holds
that size very well with the laser
itself being directly over the bore so
there's nothing off on one side and the
big you know emitter thing is pushed to
the side but also down a lot so it ends
up being a very useful shape or design
if you want to mount a white light on
one of the sides you know whatever and
it it just ends up being a much smaller
unit than I was initially led to believe
it's also so a good bit lighter than the
D2 at 9 oz it's something like 30 m and
a 4 degree cone all the way out to a
decent flood we get the afterm marketing
here get a villain systems diffuser and
we can probably leave it on the 4 degree
mode and then snap over the diffuser to
get full flood and we got a we got a
pretty cool combo here and at 1,500
bucks uh this thing looks like to be
kind of the Step Up from the hallon
right hollon has their reputation for a
reason and it's a little more flimsy
this thing looks solid right it's a it's
a piece of metal it it looks good it's a
little more complicated than
manufacturer look it's I mean at the end
of the day this is just a refined D2 and
the D2 is actually a pretty decent laser
aiming module it just happens to be kind
of large and chunky so getting that even
a little bit smaller with a nicer
admitter hey that's a win in my book
getting into a little bit of brass fax
reading between the lines with the holon
iris and the zolt
AAL these things are somewhere in a
weird in between these are not
prototypes by any means but they're also
not final production models so a lot of
what we see here today may change in the
future but it also means these things
aren't ready to rock and roll time now
there's going to be a little bit of a
spool up period where things can change
for the Better or For Worse when the the
harsh reality of you know putting one of
these things on a manufacturing line
happens right so you know fingers
crossed right it's looking good Bros but
we're not quite there yet uh so keep
that in mind okay the final laser uh
this one's from AGM and honestly was a
bit of a Dark Horse ah [ __ ] I mean I
knew as soon as I saw this I I knew what
this was it's a laser speed fl5 version
two with the cap turrets right the same
thing I reviewed a couple months ago
it's not a terrible laser I I don't know
how much AGM is doing them or they're
just drop shipping these things to be
honest I I'm not seeing any external
differences but may maybe there are
right it's all subtle and I haven't
messed with the version two yet an
interesting aspect I'm actually I should
have probably asked them about this
though I'm sure they can't really answer
the whole reason we like the the Chinese
lasers or the Chinese laser speed lasers
is cuz they're all you know bootleg full
power lasers it's not actually legal to
sell something like that in the United
States but it's a you know Chinese
companies it doesn't give a [ __ ] it's
ebaying that [ __ ] and the rest is
history and so are your eyes but AGM
they're a real company I don't think
they can actually sell this at full
power lasers in the US without the FDA
bending them over yeah I don't really
know what's going to go on here but even
if they do make it at full power yeah
it's going to be a little nicer CU now
you have a real company that you could
probably warranty these things with
standing behind the product but all in
all I sorry AGM I'm really excited to
try out some of your thermals they look
really cool and some of the stuff you
teased was was super neat really looking
forward to that but it's also my job to
bully the [ __ ] out of companies when
they do something incredibly stupid
essentially drop ship a Chinese laser
which is what's seemingly going on here
I'm about to die but I still need to
edit this video now here at the SHOT
show floor well I'm not the SHOT show
floor I'm I'm by myself in the in the uh
in my hotel room that has a
non-functional AC because that's that's
welcome to Shot Show so thanks for
watching and uh we'll see you guys in
the later hopefully as excited about
these lasers as I am see you
