Tw1tch Report post Posted February 26, 2015 Out of curosity is the jack size for this the same as a real PEQ? Interested in one of the surefire dual switches for a Scoutlight and PEQ (the one that clips onto the rail) and it'd be nice if I didn't have to mod it. I know Element do a dual switch as seen in this thread but its not the slim profile one I want (will try and find the model number). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Report post Posted February 26, 2015 Quite sure it's nothing like the real one, looks like a 2.5mm jack to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Report post Posted February 26, 2015 Well I could always swap the jacks on the remote unless I can find a replica I like. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tw1tch Report post Posted February 26, 2015 That be the one. Originally I wanted a dual tape switch but don't see myself removing my 203 too much for a vert grip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Report post Posted February 27, 2015 Ummm. Mine bottoms out way before it gets to where I want it for left / right... /_\ also on a GHK it occasionally turns itself off and I have to re-click the button, weirdly not when I'm shooting it, and it looks like even the the laser is pointing in the wrong place, it holds up okay. Will have to open it up and see if there's anything I could do with the zero issue. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Report post Posted March 13, 2015 Any updates on your PEQ blobface? Looks like I'll have my first GBBR rifle in a few weeks and I'm curious as to whether its worth buying one of these for it or not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Report post Posted March 13, 2015 These aren't bad, I've opened it up and managed to nudget it around to make it zero to where I want, I'm not convinced that it will hold under strong recoil so I'll probably try to reinforce it a little, but it's easy to disassemble and easy to "understand", for the price and the features (if you care for IR and the fact that it's this model), it's a pretty good choice.

Tw1tch Report post Posted March 13, 2015 Cheers. It is a very nicely priced unit and I'd rather a LA-5 than an AN PEQ. I'm not too fussed about the IR laser as there's some concern it could cause some damage to eyes as there's no blink reflex. However the flashlight would definitely be swapped to an IR LED for when I do sort out NV. I assume night vision will pick up the visible laser no problem? Really hope it stands up to recoil though as I'm even looking at losing my AEGs and moving to TM recoils and GBB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tw1tch Report post Posted April 24, 2015 From what I remember they're a Korean company producing some harder to find parts. They did a replica of the glass breaker for 416 suppressors and the "correct" Devgru sling plate for the 416. What's annoying is I can't seem to find their actual site address on my phone.

kojak Report post Posted April 24, 2015 They don't really have a site, but Toysoldier sells their stuff in small batches. The momentary switch is a big improvement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Report post Posted April 25, 2015 Anyone had luck fitting an IR illuminator in place of the standard LED? Now I've got some basic night vision sorted its next on my list. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Report post Posted April 25, 2015 For what it's worth, the clamp mechanism of mine has snapped off, the metal parts, instead of being one solid casted piece, is actually glued together, I managed to break it by turning it hard on the rail, by hand... lol I'm sure I can glue it back on / maybe even drill some small holes to secure it by threading and screwing, but... man.

Tw1tch Report post Posted April 25, 2015 That feels a bit lame. But it does seem to be the best replica LA-5 out there. And the real ones would be a fortune if I could even find one. And then I'd probably end up blinding some poor person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aac Report post Posted October 18, 2015 PART TWO of the review , for the INSIGHT LA-5 from Element De real INSIGHT LA-5C UHP is de Ultra High Power, version of this ATPIAL, he has more powerfull lasers, and IR illuminator The external differences are just a question of details. So recently Element , upgraded theire older LA-5/PEQ to the LA-5C UHP version. Unfortunately the differences are just external details so far ( i wil illustrate bellow) Ik say "so far" because according to some inside information , that Element is finaly working on a Green laser version, and als o a more powerfull LED torch. ! If you want to read the complete review & description, scroll tot the first page of this topic, because there both identical exept folowing details. Here a more detailed pic. of the red rubber silicone o-ring for better UV-resistance The LA-5C still comes in the Tupperware box, complete with manual, stickerset, velcropad, and a remoteswitch. And thanks to my good contacts with Element, an upgradekit for my old LA-5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tw1tch Report post Posted March 20, 2016 If only they did them with an IR illuminator instead of a visible one. Already have a Scout light for visible light but would love IR illumination. Unfortunately it doesn't look like an easy swap either as it isn't a standard LED. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akiraspeedstar Report post Posted March 24, 2016 I wish the laser could be zeroed, seems like some are okay though Ive read more bad reviews than good. I love the looks but the lasers were useless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JCheeseright Report post Posted March 28, 2016 I can confirm that without modification there wasn't enough adjustment on the one I bought to zero either the red or IR lasers. I'll be opening it up at some point to try and shim out the 'laser carrier' inside for more adjustment but it shouldn't have to be done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aac Report post Posted July 15, 2016 Finaly the Element LA-5 UHP is available in the green-laser version. Also the flashlight should be more powerful according to Element Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
