Thread: Gun City XR5 Night Vision goggles

really?
it looked ok during the day, I asked if its the same during the night. he said yes but a bit more grainy.

I don't believe everything a sales person says, you are the first non-bias opinion.
have you got any more to add?

You tube has a lot of videos on them

Pulsar 750 vs Skippy
PULSAR N750 DIGISIGHT KANGAROO - YouTube

Vs some NV Tech versions
ATN Night Arrow - Gen2
ATN Night Arrow 4x Gen 2 Night Vision Scope - YouTube

ATN Mars - Gen3
ATN MARS4-3 Night Vision Riflescope NVWSMRS430 Generation 3. - YouTube

Yep think so

Only put those up to show what Digital looks like vs NV tech - plenty of videos out there to show what can been seen

I don't sell Digital stuff - only Thermal FLIR/ATN and ATN NV - nor I am I saying something better or not - don't need suppliers giving opinions here

As far as I've seen, heard, and read, digital compares with gen 1, which is basically worthless

Hi Gimp,
I can`t take good photos through a goggle and I have tried!!. I was always a bit lairy about the Katod tubes but GSCI have done some extensive testing and they are in their opinion and mine up to scratch now days ( I don`t import crap!!). My Personal PVS-7 has a min64lp/mm thin filmed non autogated tube and is milspec FOM not known as no paperwork . The Gen3 Katod tubes rated FOM min 1260 are the ones Im importing but can get higher as have approval so 2 week delivery. Anyway the Katod tubes make my set look a bit sick!!
Here are the Data sheet stats of a unit Im sending to a buyer today Its rated FOM min 1260 :; 61lp/mm S/N 24 photocathode sensitivity 1750 FOM 1464 , Gain 60`000x I think you know what that lot means.
The housings are Israli made for their defence force and exact to the U.S ones PVS-7 & MUM-14.
D-740 & D-760 Russian as they all are though you wouldn`t think it reading the U.S sites. Have a D-760 comming through customs for a guy today. Gen3 tubes FOM 1260-1800.
Cheers Darrin

maybe you should try harder with the pics tasbay ,as I would also like to see a comparison with the different tubes,

I would just take his word for it. Used Israeli NV kit in the Army. It was miles ahead of everything else of the same rating.
If it was not for politics I am sure our soldiers would be issued it.
