While lazing my neighbors house the other night (as one does) I noticed my Zenitco Perst-4, when moving rapidly, would appear to have a blinking frequency. A slow enough frequency that I could see it. Hard science then took place as I grabbed a DBal i2 (9003) and tried to duplicate the results. So far only Perst (Russian) lasers seem to do this. None of the American or even Chinese lasers seem to do it. Anyone know why?

An analogue 1970’s Swedish tank simulator
I found this super interesting. In the 70’s the Swedish military developed an almost completely analogue tank simulator to reduce cost of training future tank operators the basics. The funniest part is that the original computer was replaced by a raspberry pi.
EOTech’s new competitor for the NGAL. I will let the video do the talking.
On the Live Q or Die podcast IG: Allyoutpost revealed EOTech’s newest competitor on the NVG laser market aimed at competing with the NGAL. Supposedly the civilian version will retail for $1,299.00. If that is true I will be looking to get one. See the video at the link below on instagram.

Chinese made automatic webbing cutter. Should you even look at it? A DIY Gear Review of the RbaySale
This review is mainly targeted at the DIY tactical gear makers out there. Anyone from the hobbyist to the guys running side gigs making gear out of their basement, garage, extra bed room. If you fit into this spectrum then you have probably considered getting a digitally automated hot/cold webbing cutter for your shop but cringed at the prices.
The Soviet Adaption of The Lord of the Rings
In 1991 the Soviet Union produced and aired their take on The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Apparently after airing on Leningrad Television this production was “lost” and just recently rediscovered in 2021. Tolkien fans will be happy to see that Tom Bombadil makes an appearance who was left out of the Peter Jackson version. No, this is not a joke and the music and effects are exactly what you think and I think this might have actually contributed to the fall of the USSR later in the year. Enjoy and you are welcome.

Is Flecktarn NIR Compliant?
UPDATE: This information has been transplanted to the master “Is It NiR Compliant” page.
There was a pretty good response to the somewhat of a joke-post about MultiDoge (DogeCam) being NIR compliant or not. So, why not make this an actual series and get something out of it? Hopefully I can post some of the more obscure and harder to find patterns that I have access to for those of you who make your own gear.
So, how did genuine Flecktarn material do under Infrared?

T.Rex Arms produced this amazing 30 minute video about not just the AR-15 but rather an entire abridged history of the development of “militarize” firearms. Those who oppose civilian ownership of any weapons that may or might be used by military personnel are likely not being truthful (or perhaps are completely ignorant) regarding the history precedent of the subject. The production quality here is off the scale. A big thumbs up from 30MC (I have watched it three times). If I have convinced you to give the video a shot then please budget the time to watch it all the way through.
It just so happens that I was working on a write-up that was basically along the same lines as this video. As there is no way I could say things better I will most likely be pivoting that write-up to tackle a different angle of the argument. Stay tuned for that.

Green and White Phosphor Night Vision. What’s the difference?
Night Vision used to always be green, right? That is certainly how I remember it. All of a sudden this pale bluish-white image started appearing in intensifier tubes and everybody had to have it. Is it better than green? The price it commands seems to think so.
