| Hey, i have a beamshot1000 on my ar as of now, not the best laser. my friend has a green laser that shoots sooo much farther, and you can see the beam the whole way even when its not that dark. we even saw the beam off clouds lol. he said the brand is nrx but i cant find it anywhere online. do you guys know of that brand or know of any other brand that u can really see the beam? |

Formatted to make others happy:
Never mind my friend is an idiot. I was looking around ALL day today for this "nrx or maybe nrs" green laser. I went to four different stores and searched online for hours. Finally my friend calls me back and says "actually its a NcStar." Thanks! Two of the places i went to had the NcStar and I passed by plenty of them online in search of this nr-something laser. I always thought NcStar sucked but my friend's really is amazing. You see the entire beam even in light areas, like playing modern warfare with night vision and the IR laser. I'm actually happy though, the store he got it at, the first one i checked, had it for $130. I got it off a site through amazon for $62 w/ free shipping. :) I'm sure you guys are going to flame a NcStar but ill try and see if I can get a decent picture of the beam when i finally get it. I was nothing short of amazed when i saw my friends. Now back to my 12 page world politics research paper wish me luck. :( |

I never ever respond to these things but... I am an optics person by education so I take this forum a little more seriously. That all behind. What does Modern Warfare have to do with a laser on an AR? Also a ANY green laser will look cool in the sky or on clouds or anything really. Your eye is very sensitive to the 550nm region of the spectrum. The laser green beams are 532nm and your eye peaks at ~ 550nm (in daylight) so they automatically look brighter than an equal rated red laser. The difference in the green lasers is primarily in the quality of the mounting mechanism.

I have a green laser that looks amazing... it is very powerful and you can see the beam clearly at night. BUT it is useless as a weapon sight. The method of adjusting windage and elevation are absolutely terrible. I am looking into getting a new laser to replace it. Here is a thread over some of the best laser sights that I have been able to find.
