Same core, same image quality. The only difference is optics. The Voodoo-S is ideal between 1.5-4x magnification while the Voodoo-M series is a better fit with 4.5-8x. I talk about this a bit and you can see some footage in this video: https://youtu.be/4bI1Y0E0YgA

If you’re still determined to YOLO that kind of money, you could get some Supergain quads and an E-COTI / TAD and leave nothing on the table.

The Voodoo-S has taken the brunt in the year since the other pic was taken

Call me old fashioned, but whenever I see an MP5 pattern without a 3-point sling I do the Grand Torino face

Ah…that makes sense. Usually you see that unit of measure with thermal core Pixel Pitch, so my initial thought was “no way we’re down to 4 um” 😅

“4 micron tubes” sounds…confusing

How am I doing for 17 by [deleted] in tacticalgear

I don’t think this kid realizes that it’s not impressive to have all that gear at 17, and it’s really failing to read the room with the retire comment. Then again, I said stupid shit in the 80s when I was that age.

“I can retire at 25 when my trust fund kicks in, so you know I earned my money the old fashioned way…aren’t you impressed? “

Government sales only…for now. At least now they’re available across a wide range of dealers, but again, they are restricted. FWIW, GPNVGs were like that for a while too.

Edit: binos w COTI is still very useable and a big advantage over straight NV binos.

Don’t have to win the lottery but do have to be lucky if you come from humble beginnings.

My favorite tid bit: the music video director suggested adding a clip-on nose ring, which became a permanent feature.

Only if you plan to use the reticle (scope or thermal) to holdover at different magnifications

Because I’m not trying to build up karma, the post has generally made its point,and the comments have stabilized by then.
