The most important thing to remember is that in perfect conditions the very best visual acuity you can get from a GEN 3 NVG is 20:200

What does that mean?

Well, you could claim a disability benefit for being "legally blind".....and you can never hold a drivers licence.

Of course its pefectly OK to fly around 'safely' at 25ft, 140kts at 0.2mLux, being shot at! [end quote]

Just do me a favour and remember to take your daylight filters off first or you WILL think you're blind...

I remeber a guy on Gr.7's who actually tried to attach his goggles the wrong way round (ala binos).Nice one FAQ!
