ATN Viper NVD

This is our first night vision Device (NVD), and so far it is very nice. it takes a wile to get used to the monocular wile moving about but once you get used to it it is very easy to use. the headgear is also very nice to be able use with the Viper.

this quote is from the website at which the goggles were bought- "ATN Viper is the smallest and lightest Night Vision Goggles in the market. These Hands-free top quality Night Vision Goggle provide realistic 1:1 magnification, excellent comfort and easy to operate. This Night Vision scope from the line of ATN Night Vision equipment is an excellent alternative to Night Vision binoculars. ATN Viper is head mountable Night Vision goggle solution for Fishing, Paintball, Scouting or Security.

If what you need is a hands free Night Vision, we at ATN have the unit for you. We would like to introduce you to the ATN Viper modular goggle system. Designed primarily to be a goggle system for hands free application, this unit can also be used as a compact monocular or can be attached to a camera for night time photography. This high resolution 1st Gen.+ Night Vision unit comes with 1x magnification, but has the option of being 4x or 8x. Surprisingly, even though we gave the Viper a heavy coated glass lens, we were still able to keep its weight down to only nine ounces. So for any activity you plan on doing which requires Night Vision and hands free operation, the Viper delivers superior results."

KJW G23C

This is my new pistol, I got really sick of a spring pistol so i bought a gas blow-back, and so far i love the glock G23C made by KJW. the difference between the G23 and G23c is the G23C is ported which means it has holes in the slide and barrel to allow the gas to escape faster, which makes it more accurate. its weight is 2 LBS and has a full metal slide. it shoots at about 310 FPS with .20 gram bb's. it has an on frame safety and has a mag capacity of 25 rounds. the green gas is loaded at the bottom of the mag and each mag has enough green gas to last threw 2 mags of ammo. the pistol also has a hop-up under the slide which is easily field stip-able. so far the gun has proofed itself more reliable than my older spring pistol. The only things i dislike about the gun is the safety which is under the barrel, it takes way to much time to switch on and off so i usually leave it off. over all though im pleased with the realistic feel and properties of the gun. the gun only cost 100 dollars and seems worth it to me.
out of 10 the gun scores a, 10 for ease of use, 10 for relyability, 8 for range, 9 for speed, 10 for duribility, 9 for acuracy, 8 for cost, 9 for fear factor, and 7 for versitility. over all the gun averages a 8.8 out of 10.
