IR Lasers - Mile High Shooting
Class 1 eye-safe infrared lasers represent the gold standard for civilian applications. These low-power devices offer maximum safety while delivering precise aiming capabilities out to 250 meters. Class 1 IR lasers for AR15 and rifle platforms feature low-profile designs that mount securely to Picatinny rails without interfering with backup iron sights. The eye-safe classification and low-power output make these units ideal for civilian training environments and operational scenarios where safety is paramount.
The revolutionary B.E. Meyers MAWL-C1+ represents the pinnacle of civilian-available IR laser technology using proprietary Class 1+ low-power technology. This advanced civilian-legal IR laser for rifle applications combines infrared illumination with visible green laser capabilities in a single, ambidextrous package. The MAWL-C1+ features multiple range settings with optimized beam divergence patterns for close-range, mid-range, and long-range engagements within civilian power limitations. Its innovative dual-button control system allows operators to quickly adjust between tighter divergences for precision shooting and wider patterns for close-quarters applications.
Dual-beam systems like the Steiner DBAL-D2 provide both infrared and visible laser capabilities in one compact housing, designed to meet civilian power restrictions. These versatile low-power IR lasers feature co-aligned visible and IR beams, allowing operators to zero the device during daylight hours using the visible laser, then seamlessly transition to IR operations. The visible green laser assists with daytime training and precision shooting, while the low-power infrared component provides covert aiming capability when used with night vision devices.
For civilian tactical training and sporting use, prioritize low-power IR lasers with robust construction, multiple output settings, and ambidextrous controls. The B.E. Meyers MAWL-C1+ excels in civilian applications with its Class 1+ eye-safe, low-power technology, offering optimal illumination range while maintaining safety standards and legal compliance. Consider civilian-legal models with integrated IR illuminators for enhanced target identification capabilities. Ensure your chosen civilian IR laser for rifle mounting includes pressure pad compatibility for remote activation and features windage/elevation adjustments for precise zeroing.
Note: High-power laser devices are restricted to law enforcement and military personnel only.
Hunting applications require civilian-legal IR lasers optimized for medium to long-range accuracy with minimal signature. Quality low-power units provide excellent range capability up to 250 meters while maintaining legal compliance and a low-profile design that won't interfere with hunting rifle configurations. Look for civilian-accessible units with constant power drive technology to ensure consistent output throughout battery life. Consider low-power lasers with multiple power settings to adapt to various hunting scenarios and distances.
When selecting an IR laser for AR15 applications, consider rail space, co-witness height with optics, and backup sight clearance. Quality IR systems are specifically designed for M4/AR-15 platforms, featuring compact footprints that maximize rail real estate. Ensure your chosen device mounts at the proper height to achieve co-witness with your primary optic while allowing unobstructed backup iron sight use. Consider units with quick-detach mounting systems for versatility across multiple weapon platforms.
Yes, Class 1 and Class 1+ eye-safe IR lasers are legal for civilian purchase and use. These devices comply with FDA regulations while providing effective aiming capabilities when paired with night vision equipment. Always verify local and state regulations regarding laser device usage.
Civilian-legal IR lasers typically provide effective aiming out to 200-300 meters, with some advanced models like the MAWL-C1+ offering superior performance at extended ranges. Actual effectiveness depends on atmospheric conditions, target contrast, and night vision device capability.
No, infrared lasers operate in the near-infrared spectrum (typically 850nm) which is invisible to the naked eye. These devices require compatible night vision equipment such as PVS-14s or digital night vision scopes to visualize the laser beam and aiming point.
Yes, many shooters combine IR lasers with visible lasers or weapon lights. Ensure adequate rail space and consider dual-beam units like the DBAL-D2 that integrate multiple functions in a single housing. Proper spacing prevents interference and maintains weapon balance.
Most quality IR lasers feature windage and elevation adjustment screws for precise zeroing. Units with co-aligned visible lasers like the DBAL-D2 allow daytime zeroing using the visible beam, automatically aligning the infrared component. Always verify zero with live fire using night vision equipment.
