PVS-14 Gen3 Night Vision Scope

PVS-14 Gen3 Night Vision Scope As the US military's standard issue night vision device, PVS-14 Scopes are the gold standard by which all other night vision devices are judged.Equipped with an autogated power supply, even sudden bursts of bright light won’t faze a PVS-14 scope. Autogating effectively oscillates current draw from the image tube's microchannel plate, permitting it to instantly adjust prevailing light conditions. No matter how dynamic lighting conditions might be, autogating ensures that you'll always be presented with a constant, unblinking view of your surroundings.With autogating in play, blinding flares, startling pops of light and emergency shut-downs are a thing of the past, an important feature that defines autogating's biggest benefit - the maintenance of constant situational awareness.Complimenting the PVS-14 autogating feature is the inclusion of a manual gain control that permits the scope to be fine tuned to match prevailing conditions. Under brightly lit, full moon conditions for example, gain might be set to its minimum setting, while if the night skies were heavily overcast you would probably crank the gain control wide open.Powered by a single AA battery that's rated to 40-hours, the PVS-14 is waterproof to 66 feet and features an integrated short range, covert infrared illuminator. Also included are a pair of demist shields to reduce ocular fogging, a sacrificial window to prevent lens scratches, lens cloth, soft carry bag, operating manual and an impressive 5-year warranty.
