Had this on located on the other thread, one of the very best Vids to date on the MAWL-DA, but of course all applies to the MAWL C1+. Enjoy this one.

Could you explain how the TAPS Pro and the MAWL interface a bit more, especially regarding the A/B button functions?
I'm in the process of building a new rifle and the TAPS Pro is a definite buy part for me and the MAWL looks great but I'd like to understand how they work together a bit better first. Thanks |

Understood. You do know all other lasers also have a 1 year warranty, that includes the restricted units as well, some much higher priced than the new MAWL. Kind of an industry standard. Would I like to see a longer warranty on all lasers? You bet! View Quote Oh I completely understand it's the current industry standard however, that doesn't mean I agree with it. The warranty and getting out of the .mil pushed back me buying an APTIAL-C which I'm kind of glad happened but now I need to save up even more pennies. |

Hi Tak, the green Vis is also a game changer with 100 yard day time range for this who need that. By far, it's the best civilian legal IR laser illuminator on the market as you can see by the pic above how it performs against a restricted PEQ-15 on high. Understood on the price Brother.

Pretty awesome thing this mawl is. Price aside this looks like about the best ir laser on the market now. I'm not going to stick a clunky dbal d2 on my rifle, so if this thing gets to 2k, that's my buy in price.

Vic Just based on the pics, it might be better or as good as a DBAL-D2. I really REALLY want to get my mitts on one, I just cannot spend that amount of $ on a LAM. |

If it works as advertised, that is one very discreet and capable little system. Now I just need to talk myself out of buying one

You know what you gotta do then. This thing is seriously awesome. It does work as advertised. It may actually work better than advertised, with the difficulty of getting good pics of it through a tube. The long and medium range settings bring my favorite setting from the PEQ-2, high illum and low laser, to a C1 package. The illum also happens to be just as bright as a PEQ-2 on high, and brighter than a -15 on high. The only difference being you can't adjust the beam size on the MAWL. You don't need to though, from what I can tell. I was using it was PVS-24 and a NF 2.5-10x24 last night and the illum filled up the FOV on 6x at roughly 350 yards. Very very impressive. And the beam is bright and clear. Its been too bright, with the full moon, to comment on the short range setting, other than to say it also seems to work as advertised. I think we're supposed to have some cloud cover tonight so I'm hoping to play with the low and medium range settings more. I am impressed and will be getting a second one later this year for the wife. |

How do you like the mount? I really like the way I have my main guns set up right now, and the LAM portion of each is MUCH less than $2500 but I still find myself wanting one of these. I should not have clicked on this thread this morning! Based on the description and what you said on top of that, it does seem like this may be a pretty groundbreaking product. My main IR illuminator is a Streamlight SuperTac IR which is extremely cost effective and has great range. Can anyone comment on the range of the MAWL-C1 vs. the Streamlight? I'd hate to spend enough to buy a SCAR-17 and then have less IR illumination range than I did w/ the $75 Streamlight.

View Quote Some kind of quick detach might have been nice, but the mount is solid and all you need to install remove is a flat head screw drive, or quarter, or Larue 'dillo or similar. I have a white light SuperTac. I don't know how it compares to the IR, but the MAWL has a wider throw than the white light Supertac does at the same range. ETA: The lack of quick detach mount is in no way a deal killer. And its probably impossible given how the unit is designed, otherwise it would probably have one. |

TAPS works great with the MAWL, it's what I'm using now actually.
You can plug the laser lead into the A or B port on the back of the MAWL. I suggest plugging it into the A port as that is the 90% use case mode. Alternatively you can use the insight / insight model TAPS with MAWL A/B. And use your light with a push button. All of the programming modes work with the MAWL as with any other laser. And who knows, maybe a MAWL specific TAPS is in the works. I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks |

Just got word from BE Meyers that the second batch of MAWL C1+ should be shipping by end of this month or so. After that would be hard to say as military orders take precedence and the MAWL C1+ is made from mostly the same hardware on the same assembly line as the military models. https://www.weaponoutfitters.com/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/580x365/9df78eab33525d08d6e5fb8d27136e95/m/a/mawl-c1p-march.jpg View Quote Is it configurable to mount on the opposite side of the rifle? For the left-handed folks. :) ETA: Never-mind, read the following on your site: "Regardless, the MAWL-C1+ is completely ambidextrous. This is achieved through a never-before-seen modular design that allows the head and tail to separate from the body, trade places, and be reassembled on the opposite side." |

What would be really slick is if you could run a cable from the MAWL to a Surefire and when in the VIS setting the light would be activated by the push button.

After getting my dbal d2 I understand the appeal of the MAWL a tad more. Love the d2 but it's big and heavy. Due to its size I might have to tax stamp my AR pistol to make it all ergonomically work. I don't necessarily want to stamp that pistol either. Bleh. It never ends. Why can't a solution like the MAWL come out at a reasonable price.
There just isn't any way I want to spend $2500 on one. I guess I'll just wait until someone geeks one away on EE. |

View Quote Its double the price of an ATPIAL/A3/D2/Raptar, but it is (conservatively) twice the laser (realistically its 4-5 better in terms of illumination). For L3, Wilcox, Steiner to debut something like this with the same capability it would also be 2500$ + more than likely. it is ergonomic and truly user configurable, works with nearly every pressure pad switch system out there, and can be operated with 2/3 of its functionality with just your thumb. it is left handed (mutants) friendly recoil rated to 50 BMG it gets as good if not better battery life with a Single CR123 as all the other lasers and probably has the most secure mounting system for a laser on the market. Plus the fail safe mode if the front selector bezel is pretty good and wont let you down in an emergency. The only gripe i have with it is not the price its the fact a screw driver is needed to change out the battery. |

People are dumping pretty good lasers at retarded low prices to get their hands on a MWAL.
I've seen RAPTARS at $650. Of course, I'm at $225 in my fun fund. I just need a bit over 9x that to get to a MWAL. |

I need to hurry up and pay off my credit card debt so I can finance one of these.

Why do I still see white lights on guns with these? I thought they had a white light option, no?
ETA: the MAWL man is beyond awesome. |

I'm sold on this thing. I did a comparison between the MAWL-C, ATPIAL-C and DBAL-I2. The MAWL is hands down better than the other 2 options I own. The illuminator is so much better it's like the others aren't even on. I was able to see the illuminator and the laser out well past 100 yards against both a blue and brown background, the siding on other houses in the neighborhood. Now I need to figure out how to buy a second one. B.E. Meyers hit a home run with this thing for sure.

Looking forward to getting one of these.
@TNVC What is the wait time looking like if ordering around the 15th of this month? |

Be advised BE Meyers has been quick about shipping them to us once we submit a P.O. (2 weeks or less)
We are selling these thing regularly and folks are realizing that the laser is in fact the best laser on the market for Civilians. |

Mine was built on 3/30/2017 and I received it on 4/12/2017, pretty fast!

The BE Meyers MAWL laser system is really a well planned and thought out piece of kit. Low is obviously for CQB work less than 50 yards, Medium is for everything between 50-250 yards and is the setting that I find most helpful for my use with the precise IR Illumination surrounding the IR laser, High is super powerful like an LDI SPIR and will reach out 500-600 yards. It is without a doubt the most versatile and uniquely designed weapon mounted laser system I have ever owned, easy to operate at night with controls just being operated with tactile touch. Here are a couple of NV pics I took, could not get any HIGH photos as it was just too bright for the area I was hunting in with max range of about 200 yards, Medium works absolutely the best for this range. First a photo of the area I was hunting in with the 24 watt Larsen IR headlamp on my UTV: http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/MAWL/MAWL%20NV/UTV%20IR.jpg Now a look at the same area though the UTV mounted FLIR M-324 remote thermal: http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/MAWL/MAWL%20NV/FLIR.jpg Look of same area with the MAWL on Medium: http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/MAWL/MAWL%20NV/MAWL%20Med.jpg Medium @ 225 yards: http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/MAWL/MAWL%20NV/MAWL%20Med%20200%20Yards.jpg Low @ 225 yards: http://www.phossil.com/thom/Night%20Vision/MAWL/MAWL%20NV/MAWL%20Low%20200%20yardsB.jpg Photos do not do it justice, it was an overcast night with no moon or stars and completely pitch dark out. I will try to get some better photos when it the stars are out. View Quote |

It has all been very well preplanned out, no need to adjust the illuminator, it is perfectly centered and non adjustable, the entire operation of the unit definitely has had much thought put into it.

Skypup Im glad you liked it, for your property it is perfect.

I got my MAWL yesterday from TNVC. I'm new to lasers but this thing is pretty bad ass. I feel like even with my limited knowledge and experience this thing is pretty intuitive to use.
One thing I was wondering is since in IR mode you have the option to activate the laser+illuminator simultaneously wouldn't you want that same ability with the visible laser and white light? I understand the white light is seperate but why wouldn't there be a relay or a built in unit for this? just wondering. Looking forward to learning more about how to use this thing in the TNVC night vision class I will be in this year! |

There is something like what you speak of, its called the TAPS Pro from TNVC, you can program one of the buttons to activate both your light and laser in momentary or constant on modes of operation.

Damn, you are going to make me spend even more money with you guys. lol
I'm really glad I waited. I was literally on the verge of dropping the hammer on a restricted unit at the same time the MAWL came available. the reason I was looking at restricted was for the illuminator. Since the MAWL had such a great illuminator, a warrantee and better ergonomics I went that route. not to mention I don't have to worry about agent Wo Quoted:

If you do that you push the muzzle higher and might not be able to take the shot. |

If you're on the fence about the MAWL I'd suggest snatching one up sooner rather than later! Availability is good, at the moment. All I can say about that!
The civilian and restricted military/LE restricted models are made on the same line, and military orders take precedence over consumer market demand, etc etc. |
