Vamp V^^V Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Looking on Den Trinity for pistol lasers, one of the options availible is a visible green laser for a reasonable price ($80US) from a company called Action Micro. Has anyone heard of them/had any experience with their products? Just wondering, thanks Link to post Share on other sites
SWAT Strachan Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Well, I don't have an "Action Micro" laser, although I have heard of them. I recently purchased one of THESE from eBay for the princely sum of £28. OK, the adjustment turrets are a bit 'hit-and-miss' due to not holding a zero particularly well (no worse than the action adjustable method I expect), but the 35mW beam has to be seen to be believed! Erm, which it can be quite easily . There's no two ways about it, these particular lasers are too strong to be used in-game as even a brief flash across someone's eyes could cause real harm. But they do look impressive before and after the games (it's an image thing ). They also came in handy at the last Ground Zero weekender, as on the Saturday night I had the doors of the car open with War Of The Worlds playing at full blast (on a 1kW amplifier, it's impressive) and the sky lit up with a green laser show. It was fantastic . If you want a green laser, I would say stick to 5mw, you might not be able to see the beam in daylight, but the spot will be very visible, and it'll be safer for others.

Auroris Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 @SWAT Strachan -- I have that exact laser I think (if it's made my LXGD) and mine says 10mw... The adjustments hold well enough on mine.. it's the actual laser that I have a problem with. These cheaper ones seem to have a habit of having a bright beam then a dim beam... then a bright beam then dim and so on. They are not consistent i mean. Is this all lasers? I'm going to replace mine with a G&P 10mw one which I know is good. I'd go for the more expensive if I were you. Link to post Share on other sites
SWAT Strachan Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I haven't had that problem with mine yet, although I think when it does happen it's due to dirty contacts at the laser end of the battery tube. I have a couple of LED torches that do the same thing, and a quick rub down of the terminals with a little fine-grit sandpaper gets it back to working order. I think they tend to use cheaper metals in the electrics which oxidise more rapidly, easily corrected though. I probably would go for the more expensive option if I had the money, but I'm scraping funds together for a Star AW-338 first . Link to post Share on other sites
Auroris Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I'll check that, thanks SWAT Strachan. Btw, Vamp V^^V, I have found someone selling theres here http://www.airsoftforum.com/board/index.php?showtopic=61416 Closest I've come to a review... Link to post Share on other sites
The_Long_Distance_Runner Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Whatever you do, don't buy SRC's 15 pound jobby. Its a joke of a laser. Link to post Share on other sites
Vamp V^^V Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 cheers guys In the end I think I'm going to go for a Kings Arms M3 laser. It's not green (which would be cool) but it's not very expensive, and KA are generally fairly reliable Link to post Share on other sites

Is this all lasers? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, its common with cheap lasers, for a constant beam brightness you have to step up a bit in price. Link to post Share on other sites
