Weapon-mounted lasers: How to use them to your advantage

Learn how to use a weapon-mounted laser scope to maximize your tactical advantage. They are here and they mean business. Do you sound familiar? (Above). With the laser beam at the bore line, you can be certain you have less or none problems with close-range parallax. First, the director can make it a real headache for the cinematographer. Lasers don’t appear in clean air. The laser projected won’t appear unless it hits the target, wall, or bad guy. The space must be filled with smoke, dust, or so much humidity that the laser can appear for the camera. The key thing to remember about illumination and lasers is to turn it off only when you are absolutely necessary. You’re telling the world “Here I go.” Let’s look at our movie entry team. They continue down the hallway, where laser dots dance on the walls. The end is when someone lurks in a room and counts the dots on a wall. How many? Three? Four? Five? They know the exact number of the team and can determine distance so they are able to pop out with a distinct advantage. If you leave your laser on, you can do the same thing as if you were doing a quiet sweep of the house to check for noises. It is best to use your laser when you aren’t using it. Although it sounds easy, using a laser is not as easy as turning it on and pointing. The best location for lasers would be right at the bore centerline. We can’t do that. But this is very close. Useful and even ideal. I have been following court opinions and discussions about how police use lasers and lights on a regular basis. Historical background: In the past, police officers used to point guns at people in order to arrest them. It didn’t matter that the person in question may not have done anything to justify the use deadly force. Not so with non-sworn. (Not “civilian,” but that’s another topic. If you are not wearing a badge, pointing your firearm at someone is (and has always been) assault with deadly weapon. You are pointing a firearm at another person. You need to be aware of the legal restrictions and allowed exceptions. You could be in serious trouble if you assault someone. “But a laser can be used to intimidate, and I don’t need to point a firearm at anyone.” As long as the laser is attached to the firearm, you can’t. You need to be aware of the law. Simply put, when the sights are difficult to use or hard to see. If I mount the accessory rail, the laser (or light), should be back from the muzzle. This is difficult with compact guns. It’s easy with full-sized guns. As an example, let’s say you’ve been knocked or fallen in the middle the street. It’s dark and the streetlights might not be bright enough to see your surroundings. This may seem a bit extreme, but you never know what might happen. Flipping the laser on will give you the point-of-impact indication. This is what you use to decide if you are in danger of your life or not. You won’t see the sights and you might get shot yourself in the chaos of arms, hands and bad breath. This is also a problem when you are on the ground and the bad guys are coming in. This is a problem in force-onforce. The paint pellets from sims carts hurt when you shoot at yourself.
You can see the laser on the other person in the fight or on the ground. This will help you to avoid accidentally shooting yourself. Mount your defensive weapon as close to the bore line as possible. My friend spent a lot of time trying to create a mounting system that would allow the laser to be attached directly to his AR-15 barrel. This will ensure durability and alignment. They are more likely to be damaged if they are too far away from the barrel. His thought is simple. Unfortunately, heat and vibration can cause irreversible problems. Keep in mind, however, that the laser beam should be as close as possible to the bore line. This is done for two reasons. The first is offset. The high-position AR-15 sights make it easier to hit close quarters, just as they make long-range shooting more efficient. Keep in mind that the trajectory and line of sight through the sights can vary by up to 2 1/2 inches within 25 yards. This offset is especially important in a struggle over a firearm or hand-to-hand situation where a laser can be useful. It’s not a good idea to forget the offset or shoot yourself. Lasers that are out of alignment are not only dangerous, but also ineffective. The Crimson Trace lasers are great for pistols and revolvers. The laser beam is as close to a revolver as you can get. It’s also closer on pistols than many rail-mounted lasers. The Lasersaddle shotgun mounts are especially good in this regard. I have seen too many people miss with shotgun spread. A shotgun can make you miss, but it can also make you miss wildly. A shotgun is used for its power, not its “carpet the ZIP code” pattern spread. The laser will tell you where the power is. It’s easy to attach a laser to your defensive gun. It’s important to be thorough when dealing with lasers. You will become more proficient with a laser if you know how to use it properly.
