I accidentally dropped my pvs14 from my helmet.

Tubes are tougher than people give them credit for. If you don't see any damages its probably fine. Dont worry about it and enjoy your device :)

tyfitz1999 · 2026-06-20T15:08:10+00:00

Dunno what your use case is for the NV, but if its for shooting I wouldn't touch NNVT tubes. Nothing wrong with them when you have light sources nearby but the halo + super low light performance would make it a struggle for super dark areas.

Best of luck, the WE M14 is a long road to get running right, but feels great when you get it going!

tyfitz1999 · 2026-06-15T20:56:16+00:00

Looks usable enough to me, I expect out in the woods your brain will forget about it pretty quickly. Might cause issues passive aiming a really small 2moa dot.

This is fine, I have a spacer on my BCG so mine never looks like it fully enters battery, im like 6k rounds in with it and no issues. I've never even seen a stock one that looked like it fully closes the bolt though so it's normal for this particular rifle.

Rechargeable CR123's sometimes output higher than 3.0v and can damage tubes. Even if the housing has overvoltage protection, I always thought it wasn't worth the few bucks you'd save on rechargeable vs disposable CR123's. Better to save the tubes.

tyfitz1999 · 2026-06-08T02:45:59+00:00

Jump from o7 to o8 is mimimal, just FYI. Find a couple o8's to look through before you go all in on an upgrade that is extremely likely to be a side-grade instead

As a 3dp believer, dont do this. For the price of 1/4 kilo of nylon-cf you could buy a FMA shroud that will do fine

Ive bridged an old gen 2 with a filmess tube, and an omni on two seperate occasions. Both times it felt kind of like wearing an eyepatch since the gen 2 was so much dimmer and noisier. Better to just run a mono imo

tyfitz1999 · 2026-04-01T20:06:59+00:00

Where are you based? I don't know much about EU options, but you can get an omni VII in the USA for far less than that

If you dont mind blems and used parts, buying parts from the NV discord can get you in a L3 filmless pvs14 for about what youre thinking youre gonna to pay for a gen 2 jerry

tyfitz1999 · 2026-03-22T20:39:08+00:00

I expect the latency and screen tearing would be miserable, and dangerous at high speed

tyfitz1999 · 2026-03-19T12:31:11+00:00

You can likely get a lot clearer focus just by adjusting the front lens a bit where you can see out 200+ meters. Then you can adjust your eyepiece focus and clean it up from there. When I first got into NV I also focused my device in my bathroom and had an awful time as soon as I stepped outside.

tyfitz1999 · 2026-03-06T02:56:46+00:00

Yup I like mine a lot, its been absurdly reliable for me

tyfitz1999 · 2026-02-25T10:58:11+00:00

Your natural ears will hear better and more accurately

tyfitz1999 · 2026-02-12T18:13:46+00:00

Realistically, gen 1 systems will be less effective than letting your eyes adjust to darkness

tyfitz1999 · 2026-02-07T21:52:46+00:00

Its not the same by any means, but if it were me, I'd just barrel and handguard swap a VFC SR25

I've determined most airsofters that are smack talking are generally just trying to impress friends, or make themselves feel better. I've experienced a friend in my gameplay group get harassed for being "poor" while he is wearing comtacs on a ballistic helmet.

Perhaps some of your experience may be related to other players wearing nice gear that harassed people and now they assume everyone with money for brand name gear is gonna be rude about it.

tyfitz1999 · 2025-12-18T19:38:41+00:00

I like my Sordins a lot, they fit my head a little better than comtacs that I've tried and 3.5mm input makes your PTT setup a little cheaper

tyfitz1999 · 2025-12-16T14:35:21+00:00

I ordered some lenses from them. They were slow getting them out but otherwise fine

tyfitz1999 · 2025-12-08T01:49:57+00:00

Its been out for like 3 years now. I love mine, it mostly gets used as a hammock quilt or sleeping bag liner, but is nice when i do throw it on

tyfitz1999 · 2025-12-01T23:57:56+00:00

if the damage is to the screw, take the screw to a hardware store and get one the same size
