First off, just want to say hello! I'm new here on the forums and came across you guys while doing research for a build of mine. I'm mid-build on special-purpose AR and am looking for a suitable laser to use with it. Frustratingly enough all of the adjustable laser-sights for guns are <5mw, which I have plenty of, and for this build I'm looking for something that's going to be brighter for outdoor/daylight use etc.
The problem I'm running in to is there seems to be a TON of different manufactures, conflicting reviews, and wildly ranging price points, and most of the ones I've seen recommended on here in the starter guides simply aren't designed for prolonged military use.
Basically what I'm looking for:
-Green, highly visible laser
-Anodized type III/billet aluminum casing, or best available
-30-50mW of power (what would you all recommend for best visibility without risking eye damage from viewing the dot @ > 50 yards?)
-waterproof to at least 20 meters, or best available
-shock-mounted electronics to withstand considerable recoil (will be on a .50 BMG)
(and of course top-notch safety goggles)
At first glance, this seems to satisfy this project's needs:
Cobalt 2000 / SF
while being overkill, and blue. However, some research here quickly showed that this was probably a bad idea.
tl:dr - I need a 30-50mW military-grade mountable green laser w/pressure trigger, budget is around $1k. Any suggestions?
Thanks guys for any help! I'm exceptionally knowledgeable when it comes to weapons, but when it comes to lasers I figured I'd consult some experts.
