[-]

BoxofCurveballs@reddit

I dont think the tech for thermals will advance enough to make a large difference but I could see where they make a battery pack for them like we have with our pvs-31's. That or battery tech will advance to give a larger power reserve and life.

bpaddock1@reddit

I had one for varminting, and it worked really well for jackrabbits. But when they started to move it was a 50/50 shot on actually getting hits. It works, just too slow. I’m looking to upgrade to an AGM rattler v2 25-320 for higher resolution for the same price.

TLDR: sensor array does not have enough resolution, but an AGM for the same money with better sensor.

[-]

AldoTheApache3@reddit

Honestly? I use 2x as my thermal base magnification and often wish I had 1x.

I hunt hogs in 90% thick woods and 10% open fields. Lower base zoom makes scanning way easier, so for my area, 1x would be perfect. This particular thermal unit would make actually identifying animals appropriately difficult, that alone would make it a no go.

[-]

1610925286@reddit

I just imagine the resolution is never high enough on these to make anything it picks up recognizable unless it's already staring you down. Maybe it would still somehow provide don't benefit, but I feel as if this is somewhat in search of a problem to solve. Looks cool though.

[-]

Gunsensual@reddit

It's just how optical sensors work. The very low end of sensors bins a large sensel (pixel) over 40 ms, so there's bad latency and resolution. A double resolution sensel with less latency needs to work with about 1/10th the light per sensel of this cheap product. Then you'd need more power to drive the binning, bandwidth, rendering. Price becomes exponential to quality.

So, the market only allows two options right now: Potato or Gucci.

The real problem is where these are made. IMHO no country should have a category of its military and militia gear bound to an adversarial country's production lines. Fuckers are over there building mock Ford-class carriers and mock Arleigh Burke destroyers in the desert and Americans can't stop deep throating their goods.

[-]

Flapique@reddit

Yeah that's a good time to recognize your environment and that you're at a gun tradeshow...

[-]

Psychedelic__Cowboy@reddit

Which is exactly the type of place where I'd expect some dumbass to have a negligent discharge while pointing a gun at someone.

There is a reason you have to keep your action open and barrel pointed in a safe direction at sporting clay events. I realize there is no barrel and no way for this particular setup to be unsafe. But there's also literally no reason to point it at people and possibly cause a scene.

[-]

HSR47@reddit

It’s also the kind of place where they go through all the displayed “firearms” ahead of the show in order to certify that they’re non-functional.

[-]

Psychedelic__Cowboy@reddit

The point is that there is no reason to demo an optic by pointing what looks like a rifle into a crowd of people. I really shouldn't have to explain all the reasons why that is a bad idea even if it is not a rifle, but sure let's get into it.

Picture a bell curve distribution of IQ level, then picture a room with 1,000 people. 500 people in that room have an IQ below 100. 20 people have an IQ below 70 and have an intellectual disability.

Now pair that with the fact that the basic 4 rules of gun safety are drilled into just about everybody's head. And that this is incredibly uncommon and frowned upon, even at gun shows. You don't think there's a chance of any kind of incident happening with this? Someone hitting the deck and causing panic, calling the cops, or god forbid drawing on the guy? Even if it's a very low chance why even take it at all? Why can't you point just the optic into the crowd, and if you have to feel it on a rifle then keep it pointed at the ground?

[-]

datfreemandoe@reddit

Not sure why you’re being downvoted, all your points are valid. Just because it’s a show doesn’t make the rules any different, especially if you’re a bystander 20 yards away seeing that pointed at you.

[-]

chasteeny@reddit

Yeah I'm with you on this one. Just because it's at a trade show doesn't mean to have to point a rifle into a crowd of people is - pun actually not intended - good optics

[-]

quandjereveauxloups@reddit

When I was in the Navy, we practiced with red plastic guns when we wanted to point guns at each other.

My wife just picked up a red M9A4, so I guess that's out the window now. :p

But yeah, they should have taken more steps to show from a distance that it's not a real firearm. They could have put an orange/red cap on the end so someone looking straight at it knows it's not real.

[-]

pessimus_even@reddit

Yeah, I dont see any reason not to just have it as a stand alone unit or on a board instead of something definitely gun looking.

Icy-Veterinarian8662@reddit

I feel like the optic could have just been demo'd standalone or mounted on a wooden plate or something, this made me uncomfortable too even though I know it's not a fully functional firearm.

DesperateCourt@reddit

At shows like this, everything from vendors inside has to be rendered 100% incapable of firing. Sometimes that's a firing pin, sometimes it's something else. In this case, these aren't even full firearms for Holosun.

Plenty of other vendors at these shows use normal firearms, just rendered incapable of firing in a different way. The NRA Annual Meeting which just happened in the past few weeks lets people carry personal fully functional and loaded firearms inside of these events, and to my knowledge there's never been a significant hiccup from that.

[-]

ImCaffeinated_Chris@reddit

JJ12345678910@reddit

It's a demo piece at SHOT show, so not only is it not loaded, but there's no barrel. Most optics manufacturers have gun like demo units that aren't actual guns so you can try the optic out.

[-]

Fauropitotto@reddit

I'll bet they'll do the same if it ever delams

[-]

singlemale4cats@reddit

Don't get me wrong I would never buy a second one due to the cost, but for the time being I'm happy.

I don't like the aesthetics of their new one. It also does very little to improve battery life, which is my chief complaint with them.

Bortjort@reddit

When I want to know what brands of optics are doing well I look at high level (but not top 1%) competition pistol shooters. Slide-mounted optics get subjected to exponentially more force than static optics and those guys use them to insane round counts, so it's a great real life testing and eval space where the shit that doesn't work gets dropped.

[-]

I bought an Osight in their first 4 months in the market. Great reticle quality, heavy, looked great. Died in the 3rd trip to the range. I never considered it again.

It’s real, but probably not as practical and functional as current advertising would have you believe. The technology for multiple imaging sources in one package does exist though.

Look at the army’s ENVG-B, for example. They use white phosphor tubes with thermal imaging combined with some kind of augmented reality that outlines structural edges and people with illuminated sharp lines.

It’s weird and I don’t know if that’s exactly what’s going on with this optic, but I believe it does demonstrate similar concepts and the fact that the tech exists for stuff like this to be mass produced.

JeanPascalCS@reddit

Anything using an LLM style processing against a data set to analyze the data and make some modification. EG, highlighting of a humanoid shape.

X0n0a@reddit

Do you think that they're running a large language model on hardware that fits inside the base of a thermal sight to do image processing?

I'd bet it's doing something a lot closer to drawing a border around things over a certain temperature, or a certain temperature difference. Basically edge detection. Notice how during the 3rd second of the video it's highlighting some part of the wall or something on the right side?

And it saves them having to train some model on people, deer, rabbits, cars, power transformers, birds, houses, hot targets, and anything else one could conceivably encounter that might or might not be warm.

Mock gun, unloaded gun, nerf gun it’s a bad practice either way.

HSR47@reddit

It’s literally an “80% lower”, and the “upper” is just a rail mounted on an empty receiver.

No trigger mechanism.

No bolt carrier, bolt, or firing pin.

No barrel.

You got downvotes for that? Me, if I even sense a gun pointed my way, I get an adrenaline dump.

Apprehensive_Goal161@reddit

Will it pick up the paper/cardboard targets at the range?

I'll wait five years for the BoBo brand.

It's real I just don't appreciate them flagging the crowd

Holy crap.

You have to be trolling?

This thing has been on the market for like 2 years, and the tech has been around for 15.

If you have a hard time identifying this as a real video I suggest you just disconnect from the internet ahead of time.

Holosun DRS-TH for those who are wondering.
I've seen it for ~$1600, but couldn't tell you if it's worth it for that much...

Looks like Gerorge R Brown Convention Center in Houston

tbrand009@reddit

Yeah, the NRA Convention was there last week.

The Iraqis thought we saw like this with our Oakleys. Wiley Xs and ESS CDIs. They figured we were scoping out their women.

Reddit is doing this super fun thing where every three months or so, 50% of videos show a thumbnail, but don’t play, don’t show a link anywhere, and all you can do is Save the post, close and come back to it. Found another one!

CaptainColmyer@reddit

Looks cool. More concerned at this guy pointing it at random people at a convention😂

[-]

mstracylee@reddit

There is no barrel, no trigger, no muzzle device.

And at a Firearms convention, they remove every single firing pin from every gun at every booth. So while this is not considered safe gun handling, they also expect people to point it so that they can use the optic.

CaptainColmyer@reddit

Yeah its not a big deal to me just always told bad practice

[-]

trucknutz36582@reddit

this should be grounds for getting his pass revoked and ejected from the venue🤬

[-]

CaptainColmyer@reddit

Ok thats a bit of a stretch

[-]

mstracylee@reddit

They are strictly on a receiver with no barrel, no trigger, no muzzle device in the Holosun booth.

Also, any Firearms convention pulls out the firing pen of every single gun on the floor.

[-]

SaltyDog556@reddit

It's real and IMO not worth the price tag.

[-]

giveUcancer@reddit

Can’t wait for shooters to implant those

Maximum_Dweeb4473@reddit

These are real; I’m anxiously awaiting the pistol version to run on my Glock chassis 🤙

[-]

N2Shooter@reddit

It's real.

Thermal overlay at shot show.

[-]

PlutoJones42@reddit

Yo this is sick, is anyone else making these?

[-]

wlogan0402@reddit

OP was today 14 years old when he learned about thermal overlay

[-]

JamesT3R9@reddit

Wow. Just wow. Thats nuts! Whats the battery life like?

[-]

anangrytaco@reddit

It's real and they ring for about $1500 last time I checked

Star Wars bro

That-Beagle@reddit

I love how Holosun got shit when they first started as an optics company, now people compare it to the future.

[-]

HerMajestysButthole2@reddit

Theres the Holosun Thermal and Holoson NV that they made this RDS in. The NV is utter crap. The thermal doesn't have enough resolution...what is it, 256x192? Meh

[-]

gunplumber700@reddit

I own one and I wouldn’t say meh…

I wish it had a slightly higher resolution in the 340 range, but lower resolution has its advantages.

Bardiche-Assault@reddit

This is like 7 year old technology. Steiner showed off one from 2019.
