I can’t think of a time I’ve ever been in a perfect darkness, shooting or not. There has always been some ambient light. And I’ve done quite a bit of night/low light shooting and training from SWAT stuff to working midnight shifts. I’ve never had a problem with muzzle flash messing up any nighttime vision. Even when using Distraction Devices, the flash wasn’t an issue, but that might be because I turned my head away from it.What do you need to do in order to counteract muzzle flash in perfect darkness?

Last time I did shooting with NODS, muzzle flash wasn’t an issue. And that was with 9mm and 5.56/.223, on a 11.5” barrel AR.
So as far as counter acting muzzle flash, I don’t do anything, other than activate my weapon light. On one of my main AR’s, I did install a YHM Phantom flash hider and it keeps flash to a minimu.

I had a Staff Sergeant pop off a 40mm night illum in my face once.... and yep, I was blind as a bat for a good little bitSo none of you have ever experienced temporary night vision blindness on a Battlefield?
Children Please!
Could a couple of actual Combat Veterans inform them of thier lack of knowledge?
Time to un-watch and mute. Reading these last 2 pages of posts is like watching 2020 unfold.Somewhere this discussion took a sharp left.

Sorry I didn't script this turn. Those that never have don't know what those that actually did had to overcome.Time to un-watch and mute. Reading these last 2 pages of posts is like watching 2020 unfold.
I see no purpose whatsoever for this discussion other than it being a soapbox for the OP to shit all over virtually every response, and watching members get back in line to get another serving. Where is the popcorn emoticon?Somewhere this discussion took a sharp left.

So I'll provide the popcorn, explain to the rank & File how you overcome night vision deprivation on an actual "Battlefield".I see no purpose whatsoever for this discussion other than it being a soapbox for the OP to shit all over virtually every response, and watching members get back in line to get another serving.

ok, have it your way (whatever it was that you just said). I'm in awe of your greatness and tremble in your presence....better? Feel free to carry on.No I'm not a moron. But I can honestly backup my statements with documented US Government proof. So you can toss sticks and stones against me. But when it comes to provide facts to the viewing public, your going to need to suppress the truth. It doesn't need to come to this, but should you determine that the truth isn't what you want on your forum. Continue?
