The fact that this is currently the ONLY comment on this video is amazing.

if he was short and fat absolutely

Why is the stereo type of LGBT people in the Navy a thing? Just because it's true doesn't mean we have to speak actual facts.

Bet you still would though

This comment wins the internet today 🤣

just me. I did this all, shun hop

My guess is they get away with it because NV is such an expensive field to enter. The market for LAMs is pretty much restricted to people who've already spent $5k + on NODs, so there's not much market pressure for budget LAMs the way there is for red dots or LPVOs.

That sweet, sweet government money doesn't help either. All the nicer ones are made to take advantage of military contracts, and why would they sell it to you or me for less than what the government is paying for it? And the government doesn't care about 1000% markups.

I'm certain mass manufacturing ruggedized optical chassis that need to be able to handle recoil and rough handling yet remain in a repeatable zeroed state for a service life of at least a year or two isn't cheap or simple. The Chinese don't care about market perception they want to dominate every market they can, if they could sell us lams that people want to use for >$500 I'm positive they would. I've only done minor work with Javelin & TOW optical systems and even that wasn't my main job so I really don't know what it takes to miniaturize and production/cost optimize these ruggedized optical chassis, though I have a feeling it's a real engineering challenge.

Meh fuck Holosun.

Same. I've been liking their Surefire tail cap crane connector conversions. Solidly made, work well, no visible loss. The fact the laser has a vis override like a DBAL is something I really want on more units. Hopefully it gets produced, is in stock, and not a billion dollars. Fingers crossed

@@NvwaAqoKy2kg The spokesperson gave a Q3 Release Date. Emphasis on civ variant first and foremost with pricing. A few years ago they probably ran into hurdles when constructing it but manufacturing back then was also a tad tedious as well. So, this time around it should be good to go but as always... Take initial release dates with a grain of salt. I'm definitely looking forward to it, that's for sure...but til then I'll just keep saving up money for a Raid XE.

ARFcom just did a video with one of their reps explaining it in detail as well as other products of theirs

@@DZ4295DBW not happy with initial design, replaced team, complete overhaul.

Maybe jail?

Any updates on eta of acal?

My same thoughts

It's not possible to build a LAM in the US at Holosun prices. Factory workers are 15x the cost in the US for instance. We are delivering to a wider market that requires us to satisfy certain design functions and features. (civilian, US and Allied militaries, LE) I hope the Iris works out for your budget and particular laser requirements. 👍

We've designed for capability, overall value, and broad market appeal, which includes price. Military and LE customers need the adjustment features. Not interested in being the low cost LAM on the market.

@@zbolt_e_optics Thank you for responding directly to quash disinformation that would frustrate customers. As someone who wanted an ACAL badly all last year, I appreciate this.

huh, neat.

There footage of it. Looks like an atpial-c

@@senorFrog2032 That was, in fact, addressed directly in this video. Did you watch the video? Or did you just skip straight to the comments?

he's everywhere.

Small companies always move faster. Big companies always move slower. Once big companies move they are hard to stop however. Inertia. Think of a hare compared to an elephant.

EOTech is selling 1,000's of OGLs to government customers. Big volume, the CIV market will be 10% the size, so . . .

Funny but if you consider they went out of business because they early announced the aluminum frame, so everyone stopped buying the steel one, then yes this is actually exciting

@@veldin25 Tell me that gun didn't have a number of problems with a straight face.

You see the culmination of over a century of public schooling bounce off the most efficient and progressive engineering firearms solutions developed in the 1950s, regress through 1800s-era rifle actions going backwards from bolt guns to lever guns. Next up: revolver rifles, followed by harmonica feed systems. It’s nauseating.

@@ChristopherGoydich-cb6bd interesting… I get 556 not working because they’re pointy, but a regular fmj 9 is pretty well rounded

If they're pushing Fudd lever actions, it's because they're anticipating more AWBs and 2A infringements coming in 2024 after Trump & Republicans lose the election.

It’ll be interesting to see what people think of the EG NGAL when it pops up.

that's even worse :(

I believe they already have plans to make it leaf sight mountable

The housing has predrilled holes for a flip-up BUIS.

no, these are 3 new models. LAM? Yes we've had these forever, but not in configurations that are affordable or powerful to the civ market.

but wouldn't a colorblind person want a tactile button (like how everyone else does it) instead of two very similar shades on a tiny pin prick LED?

they said that last year.

Darq Industries (used to be Goonin Gear) has a pretty solid rep. I got an L3 Harris PVS-14 from them and was very happy with the device and the service.

we talked about the ACAL 2 years ago. the ACAL also doesn't exist.

Buy American 🇺🇸

they're sending me one, so tbd

Awesome.@@novagroup2

Beefcake looks to have some enormous side delts, which is typically a sign of stack usage. And where he's juiced to the gills or a natty god doesn't change his work ethic or diminish the worthy call out. All I'm saying is don't be jealous of his end result in physique and just hustle on your own to its potential. If he's juiced and you're natty, you know?

@@JamesMelton I just see beauty in that booty

they did its the switch on the left side of the back he just got confused. Down is off 1 up is Vis laser 2 up is IR laser only 3 up is IR Laser + Illuminator

nope. Unless there's two models floating around. The Rear button controls vis vs IR. its even stated in the brochure that it's like that.

@novagroup2 OK I stand corrected. There was some bad info being given out at the show, but there has been clarification given. The switch on the left is the power select with low/off/high and the button is the mode for Vis/IR and that is confirmed to be the final design.

Im not lefty but i do like ambo lowers and this one is pretty cool looking

@@brandon4383. it's 100% worth the money. And the ergos are pretty good.

Does it still have a proprietary remote switch?

Yes ​@@TheMsdos25

if I can, yeah

there's more... give me 10 more min, just got home

yeah it is. You're confusing it with owner ship. It's not illegal to own a restricted device, but it is illegal to sell it.

Aluminum.

It’s not the industry per se, but labor costs in the US plus inflation. If you run a machine shop, compliance with OSHA, EPA, State, and local regs can be a real witch. There are literally armies of mentally-retarded government employees whose job it is to tell you “NO”. We’re going to need to take an axe to those regulations and turn on the US energy production faucets even more to fix some of these barriers. The good news is that labor costs in China are now 1.5x that of Mexico, so more US companies are already moving their operations back to the Americas at least.

@@LRRPFco52 This is all 100% correct

overseas manf like China cannot be bought by the DoD. Which ironically means they actually have to design a good product that isn't a slaved to military contract reqs

for the illuminator about 20-50mw

@@novagroup2 Good to know. I've got the ZenitCo Perst-4 and it's crazy Brite😁

I think the holosun has a visible laser.

@@collinb.8542 No reason to buy it if you don't have night vision, though. You can get just a vis laser for 1/4 the price.

they're selling OGLs time now. Just their focus is on military/LE

@@ikemouser2580with battery

They're also happy to pay employees $2 an hour 🙂

@@zbolt_e_optics Which is lame. So, actually deliver on your laser and we can talk.

@@emperorbobarino We are building the ACAL for many markets, (civilian, US and Allied militaries, LEO) and we talk to thousands of people. There is no way to satisfy end users that want us to sell a device at a price close to equal what it takes to build it in the United States. We have to eat! Holosun satisfies a particular market - good for them, and good for you. I hope it works out for your particular budget and laser requirements. 👍

@@zbolt_e_optics So, this is your response to me agreeing with you, that paying people $2 an hour is lame and to show me a real product for sale (Not: join the waitlist to get notified)? 👍👍

nope, it's at the start.

@@novagroup2 What I mean is that you really glanced over it, and didn’t go over the features and get any updates/ pricing/ release dates from the EoTech staff. Just saying, still appreciate the video and hard work brother.

who isn't

well, just the OGL atm. the rest are half that.
