Hello,
I've experimented with lasers on and off for 18 years, back then, they where CO2 gas.
I need advice for my next purchase.
A laser the cuts or burns is well and fine and power is always useful.
But I am looking to upgrade my laser sighting equipment for my .50 Beowulf
M4 rifle. I currently have a Laserlyte K-15 on it which claims a <5mw output @532nm. I wish to replace the laser module inside with a more powerful one that I can see at long range during bright sunlight hours. Its divergences is also not so good. No info on this is listed but at 150 feet the dot is
roughly 2-3 inches in diameter. I would like something with a divergence of around 1/4 " or smaller at 100 yards. The K-15 internal laser modules diameter is 0.45 " and its length is 1.45". The driver board and spring contact attached to the rear of the module adds another 0.96" to its length. I'm looking for quality and power
This has to handle recoil from high caliber weapons. It needs to be a clean beam ie glass optics not plastic.
On ebay they have many 532nm laser modules listed.
at 5,10,30 ,50,100,150,200 mw.
How can I tell if they are selling what they advertise? power rating, glass optics, QC, divergence.
Any suggestions on distibutors?
I'd prefer to stay below $100, as this is not for burning, but visibility at long range is needed. Also, the module needs to be te same size range.
I'd prefer expert answers only.
Thank you gentlemen
Sincerely
Les
