Would'nt buy vests from these guys even if it were permissible. Tell tale signs of brown nosing in handing down substandard stuff. If thats whats given to Law Enforcement and the Armed Forces, one shudders to think what a civvie would end up getting.A pointing device that doesn't point right, RIGHTcottage cheese";p="36266 wrote:
Hi Ngrewal,
I happen to have one of those Laser aim-points lying somewhere around the house. The police here seems to have been conned into buying a batch of it some years back.(Or as usual some one in the chain of command must've gotten rich!).They are positively worthless junk. In fact the police stopped using it within a month. I got mine as a result...the dept never asked for it to be returned!!
The construction is plain aluminium. Poorly cast. Ill fitting plastic parts- which are also very poorly molded. Gaping gaps between ill fitting parts have been filled up by automobile putty and presumably painted with matte bumper paint. Uses a pair of Pencil batteries(AA).
It comes with adapter clamps for AK/SLR, INSAS, and Dragunov. All come loose before a magazine is expended. The screws, nuts, jam-nuts are reverse and more often than not, the wrong thing gets tightened or loosened. This is basically why they were promptly junked. No point (Pardon the pun) having a pointer that comes loose and doesn't point right.
The master switch is regular transistor type slide...which for no reason refuses to work often. The Laser is triggered by a remote switch on an elastic strap that can be looped on the fore grip of a rifle. The elastic is standard hosiery stuff, to which the rubber switch capsule is stuck with dendrite! The connection is with a telephone type cable and a small jack that looks like it was ripped out from a stereo headphone. The wire soldering at the capsule snapped a number of times.
The device comes with a kit in a poorly molded plastic 'tiffin-box'. The kit includes manual, pointer module, Adapters, 4 rechargeable batteries, charger, a Taparia plier(!), a screw driver, and a carrying pouch.
Hopeless thing...
Ok I know this is going OT...was just indulging in some verbal wank since the topic caught my interest...

. For all I know the vest may even have magnetic wayward projectile catching capability thereby ensuring that all badly aimed projectiles are ulimately attracted toward your vest to minimize ammo loss for the enemy. 
Might as well put up signages on the vests saying "Shoot me, you wont miss".
