Redneck engineering? This city boy will take it and this video earned a sub--thank you, Sir!

This is the coolest diy I’ve ever seen

Bruh... I did this and it turned out amazing.. did the 300 wm and the ar10 for about $2.50 and they work fantastic.. you saved me $150 or more... Thank you so much..❤ .. got the stuff to do it at the gas station.. took me about 15mims and turned out solid and crystal clear... Bruh .. you are the MAN! 💪

If decide to attempt this build I believe I will buy a can of spray adhesive and lightly spray the straws before bundling them together once the glue is dry it should be practically one piece, thanks for the video.

Absolutely brilliant sir!

Nice DIY - that looks a lot nicer in contrast to the piece of panty hose taped over my Aimpoint at the moment.

I recently got into airsoft and I'm looking for a way to get some protection for my scope and stumbled with this, not only it can reduce the glare but also protect scope from bb. It's very awesome thanks

I don't care what they say, Rednecks are smart as hell.

One way to definitely prevent the straws from coming out is to finish it all off by touching both ends briefly with a hot metal plate to create a weld between the straws. (too much preassure will of course make Ridges that may obscure the sight Picture)

Nice Video, best construction of a "Kill Flash" I've seen yet. It sure beats using a hacksaw like I've seen on another channel when trimmer it to size. Those "Sun Shades" run cheap on ebay. I have (2) two one with and without the "Kill Flash" I found pushing the "Kill Flash" to the rear of the "Sun Shade" a lot better. Thanks for the tip, I found it very helpful.

You sir are a genius! Thanks for the advice!

you can also take pantyhose or some loose threadcount stretchy fabric cut out a sheet and stretch it under your scope caps, works pretty well too. way easier.

Great diy. I’m going to tha cafe tomorrow morning and “grap” some straws😇

Wicked idea bro

Genius...awesome DIY.

Hahaha dude these is the genius I was looking for in this topic.

Carlos Hathcock “White Feather” Sniper in Vietnam. The Vietcong were terrified of White Feather. White Feather was looking for a VC sniper; saw a brief flash & fired a round. He moved to the area he had seen the flash and found a dead VC sniper. The VC sniper was dead from a round to his head. The round fired by White Feather went thru the VC’s scope into his eye. The 2 snipers were hunting each other. The VC found White Feather first and as he was getting a bead on his kill; White Feather saw the flash from the VC’ scope and fired first. White Feather was highly accurate; legendary status; but firing into a sniper’s scope was called the impossible shot.

Yes!!! great success!! Thanks!

Old video but great tech. Thank you.

I appreciate this.

Very cool

U a fucken engineer! Thank you, Lots of scopes dont even come with an option for one so your video is beyond helpful! Also you could try spraying a verry thin layer of adhesive to make the middle solid

this is awesome. spray both ends with gloss coat spray paint. should hold it together w/o making a mess

Brilliant!

Maybe putting some spray adhesive all over the coffee stirrers before putting them in the sunshade, wrapping, and cutting them to shape would prevent them from getting pushed out as easily. You'll just want to clean the inside of the sunshade afterwards but considering you can make several (really lightweight) ARDs out of one handful of coffee stirrers, you can also have one or two backups in your range bag regardless. Smart idea though, I'll definitely be trying it out, if only for the cool-factor : P

Very nice!

Love your accent

This is fkn brilliant

Appreciate ya.

THX! it is good!

Good idea..

I am definitely going to do this! Gonna save me $200 for not having to buy the outragesouly priced Leupold killflash.

I just super glue them used ones one by one then wrap with masking tape , I use all colors , white transfers light better but yellow is good

good vid nice build. Never used a kill flash, so my question is likely going to sound a bit stupid. Besides limiting reflected light to straight on would they tend to tame mirage?

Nice👍👍

Can it prevent grade on scope cams?

I was thinking of using aluminum honeycomb and just cutting it in a spare scope cap... why are they so freaking expensive. The one for my trijicon tenmile is $100

The smooth/slick surface of the plastic stir-sticks will reflect some of the incoming sunlight, real ARD's have a matte finish to eliminate this.

How visible is the honeycomb grid looking through the scope? Does is darken the sight picture?

Now it all makes sense... Liberals saw this video and banned plastic straws.

This actually would work, as it's wide enough. Too bad those staws are not olive drab or khakki

I 3d print kill flashes. If you want one I sell them $20 including shipping. PayPal only.

How about a view looking down the scope.

Dont u think straws would work better than stir sticks?

calos headache

Killflash is a gimmick, glinting is in video games not real life. Look up real life tests...

can you just drill a bunch of holes in a flip up.
