It's interesting, like looking through a CC tv, you can see heat signatures left behind etc... I didn't see the reticle on it though. Damn, I should have gotten pictures, but I was too busy worrying about not dropping it. . . I hope they go back again so I can get pics. :) Flir is in the local area, was testing this at the range last week.

These troops need no under barrel grenade launcher and can thus easily accept the additional weight in comparison to the more normal starlight scopes. I don't understand why it's not meant as a stand-alone system, though. The normal sight has little function in addition to this and thermals are useful both at night and day (see through smoke, easier detection of freshly buried mines or camouflaged enemies).

I can't believe they can make a FLIR system that small! Even an uncooled one! That's impressive, and no doubt, still very expensive. Holy crap! I can’t believe they can make a FLIR system that small!
