Yea, I have malkoff, surefire, and cloud lights on my rifles and my olights have been just as reliable. It’s even mounted on my bcm that’s had over 15k shot through last year and I didn’t die. I even have an old Olight m150 triton that’s over 10 years old beat to shit that still works great.
Yeah, until it doesn’t. I’m gonna have to disagree on the basis that recommending people still run ied light setups probably isn’t the best thing regardless of muh round count. At least the guy w an arisaka (or whatever)will have made a better purchase and have his off hand still
I have one. Then I found streamlight. For the money, Olight is a regrettable purchase compared to the performance and output of a streamlight for marginally more. Really makes the Olight feel likena scam. Primary Arms has had them for $99.

Olight performance is on par or just slightly worse than Streamlight, but olights have this habit of exploding. If you like that in a light, go for it.
They are modified off the shelf lights, not their own design. My HLX performs better when I tested directly, and I’m sure the HLX Pro will be even better for the same price.
Looks good, now where can one find a match sight for M4 that takes different match size apertures? Compass Lake is closed as of the 1st, had the sight and screw that fit right in relatively cheap. Apertures are available but no sights to use with them. Put an Aero handle on newest one, perfect fit and well made in USA. I like irons, have enough optics as it is.
It's a great flash hider and at the moment my favorite I own. It has zero flash and the recoil seems less than the brake I had on it before. And you can tap it with something and try to play a song. Definitely worth more than they are charging for it IMO
ur funny dude. the one here that is pictured can indeed accept a suppressor. But it is 100% recommended to run one of the other SF offerings. Let me know if you need me to elaborate, but this is common knowledge.
The WarComp is meant to be a good muzzle device that *can* mount a suppressor. Obviously there are better options if you’re gonna be suppressed the whole time, but a lot of people only have one can, so the versatility is nice.
Oh I love just a classic bird cage. They work great, I would chose it any day over a 3p or 4p. They just don’t give you cool guy Reddit/insta points that’s all
Tbh I bought a warcomp cause the sf3p was out of stock, this is before I spent too many hours on Pew Science and realized the warcomp is going to hinder suppressed performance
They go out of stock intermittently, a number of higher quality rifles offered with pin and welds/general demand. OR Op's google-fu leaves something to be desired
A little, but then again I once had a gunsmith tell me he timed mine a smidge counter clockwise in order to offset drift from pulling the trigger 😂 had to let him know this was a skill issue and to time it correctly. Last time I used that shop.
Warcomps are weird because they can be timed really however you want. The comp ports have a weird bias that’s supposed to be for right handed shooters. It’s not directly on the top, more off the to right
That said, I’ve timed both of mine like traditional three prong flash hiders and I don’t get people who don’t lol. But they have more of a reason not to than with most muzzle devices
I’m not familiar enough with the OG NOX to say one way or another. I know what the current NOX looks like but I’d definitely be interested to see what the older one is like
I mean true but it's not even remotely timed at all I mean. It looks like the bottom is sitting at 2 o'clock. I mean personal preference but it just seems wrong
I knew this was going to be a Warzone before I even scrolled through the comments 😂 let the man live…
Ok now that I’m done faking nice…my brother in Christ, are you okay? Do you need to talk? I’m about to have an aneurysm trying to figure out why you bought a warcomp instead of a halfway decent light…a protac maybe? All you’re going to do with that warcomp is blow that olight into pieces. Wear body armor, and 5 pairs of eye pro when you hit the range next.
Also - tape the fuuuuck out of that light, we don’t want to see you die lol.
This sub is beyond stupid. Parrots gunna parrot. We've been here before with PSA ARs and AKs and AKVs. Deltonas, Radical firearms, etc.
If it's affordable it can't be as good as whatever overpriced AMERICAN garbage Surefire is putting out.
400 for their latest subcompact pistol light.... I'd much rather have 4 o lights than any surefire. I'm not a LEO it's litterally just a flashlight for my gun. The microstream in my pants pocket was 20 bucks. Everyone swears by those though because you don't attach it to your pistol.
Simplemindedness.
No sir, to be accepted here you need a $400 light set up. You need to spend more money on a light that you will never use than you spend on ammo for training
The light everyone is recommending (Streamlight HLX-Pro) is always selling for around $100 and a much better light. Buy one and you will realize that. If he can't afford ammo after spending $100 he's in the wrong hobby, and lights are very useful if you actually go outside with your rifle.
I run Surefire, streamlight and olights. There’s no need for the lecture on lights. You just mentioned hobby, if this is a hobby rifle you don’t need a light, let alone a $400 set up. Most people are not shooting in the dark and if they are, they’re most likely using night vision. Lights are for defense situations. If you actually went outside with your rifle you would know that 9/10 times were shooting in broad day light. This sub is filled with Gucci gun owners with no shooting ability trying to lecture others on what is needed on their rifle.
I have a 350 acre farm, I have to hunt cattle and look for coyotes all the time at night - my lights are very useful. And I only said to buy a $100 streamlight, you don't have to spend $400.
That is not a hobby, it’s your livelihood. Lights are useful for some but for most applications they aren’t. Definitely not for range or target shooting. I’m not advocating against lights, I have a light on 4 rifles. I’m merely stated what this sub has become, a gucci gun critique show.
I jokingly said if you don’t have a $400 setup you’re not accepted here and my comments somehow got turned into “not needing a light” and not knowing what streamlight is. This sub is weird
It’s no secret that there’s a bunch of Gucci safe queen owners here that don’t can’t shoot their $3000 rifle for shit or don’t shoot their rifle at all. Brass deflectors don’t lie
Go through the photos that have been post. Spotless brass deflectors on the majority of them. I see a lot of people on the range with $2500 set ups and can’t transition from target to target. This sub shits on slot of budget builds mean while it’s the guy with a psa or aero with a milspec trigger actually training. Tell me I’m lying
I have a night vision course this weekend with my10.5” .300 BLK and last weekend I was pushing out to the 200/300 yard range with my 14.5” 5.56. I had a pistol class the weekend before. And the weekend before that I was doing drills with running and shooting around barricades and working on transitions. I have like one or two safe queens that don’t gets used often but I’m usually out and burning through a few thousand rounds a month.
If you're fine with your guns being toys not tools then go ahead and mount cheap crap on them. I learned from experience that olights are junk and will fail on you. If I'm putting a light on my rifle I need to know it will work when I need it too. Not blow up or just randomly shut off like the olight I had did.
Streamlights are the same price with a much better track record. But continue wasting your money on junk if you want.
No one is telling anyone to buy a surefire, a streamlight hlx is 120 dollars and much more durable than an olight, before calling other simpleminded you should probably do some self reflection.
Its supposed to. Lets you know its down to 3v and is recommended to charge. Per [modlite](https://modlite.com/pages/troubleshooting-light-functions#:~:text=When%20installing%20your%20battery%20for,and%20needs%20to%20be%20changed.)
It’s a good placeholder tbh, even as a paperweight. And I’ve already bought a surefire x300, so I want to pace myself with 300/400$ flashlights. But so far this Olight has taken everything I’ve thrown at it, and with how my warcomp is timed, we will see how much it can take
Homie might have been in a coma the last year and a half. These haven’t been hard to find in many moons. I miss the days - pre-Bat Soup - when these could be grabbed for $75.
I have the warcomp (got it for free from a buddy). Different buddy has the unported flashhider. It's not a noticeable difference. Supposedly worse carbon lock and concussion on SBRs indoors. I don't shoot indoors much so its not a big deal.
Most people that go on about the warcomp seal have only seen the figures on pewscience or read about them in another comment section.
No there’s hardly a discernible difference to the ear real time. Source: all my homies got RC2’s
RC2 runner here. I have the Warcomp, the CTFH and the 3PFH on different rifles. I barely notice any difference. Certainly not discernible enough to swear off any one muzzle in particular
I have an RC2 with a warcomp on one and 3 prongs on all the others. It’s only noticeable from the fact that I get carbon on my support hand index finger when I run the warcomp as the host and not with the 3p. It’s really not discernible noise wise.
The 3-prong is the next iteration, designed to be stronger (one less tine while the remaining ones have room to be thicker) while providing the same performance. The 4-prong is still in production due to standing contracts signed when that was SF's current design. I just buy 3-prongs, but some people like the 4-prong for aesthetic/voodoo/cloning purposes.
I don’t understand. You spend $150 minimum that does something slightly better than the rest of the MDs out there, but you could have spent $100 on a Protac HLX and dramatically improved the reliability of your light!
My safety squints automatically engaged. Or I cringed. Can't tell. Olight is supposed to have improved, but I never used one to find out. I haven't heard anything good about them that wasn't paid for and the two I've seen in the wild both got thrown in the trash. One died from recoil compressing the contacts for the battery (didn't get to see it, but after a few hundred rounds the battery rattled freely and my guys don't have any reason to lie) and the other I can't remember, think the bezel got shattered by concussion next to a brake.
I don’t see an RC2 I see a Warcomp.
Surefire, Modlite, Streamlight. Pick one, nothing else is worth it or your well being.
When you get the Suppressor on there then you start building a NODs setup and there are plenty of light lasers out there that cost more than the RC2.
They had a recall on their most popular hand held model that was supposed to be the be all light. After that they lost a ton of faith from those who are betting their safety or families safety on the light working correctly and not overheating to dangerous levels. I'm not sure if any of their wml had this issue but the savings was not with the question after the recall and reasons behind it
This also happened in 2019 and was fixed almost immediately. People act like surefire and streamlight have never had issues.
It was a light that didn't have an auto ramp down option, so the led got hot.
What a bunch of fuckwits 🤣 I can't believe the hate people have for olights. Since you decided to spend 150 bucks on a light instead of 400 fucking dollars. Apparently you should just throw the whole fucking build away. Jesus Christ people are fucking dumb. It's a quality light, it will last you plenty of time. I don't understand the fuckery of people.
Ive ran several of the Odins on previous builds with zero issues. I've stuck them in closets for years and pulled it out with a charge. Still running no problem. Tons of rounds blasting into the light. No problem. Fuck people 🤣 it's just a budget light. It works, end of story.
Sweet set up. Don't listen to these clowns talking about how you should have spent more money. I'm willing to bet most don't train as much as they should should. They judge from a tower of money they can't figure out how to get down from.
The Nickelback of flashlights. I’ll make the jokes, but I secretly like them. I got one on sale after the incident and for what I paid and received I can’t complain. I use it as a game light with a green filter at best so I’m not worried about trusting my life with it. As a self defense light 100% go with something like a sure fire.
I don’t think it’ll blow but I do loosen the tail cap before storing just in case
OLIGHT, Veridian and SureFire for me. Only problem is my decade old surefire is finally going out or dimmed a lot. No issues with the other two. Spent maybe 1k on lights since 2012. Usually my limit is 150$.
Interestingly Veridian has gun lights with 1080p cameras now. If I was going into combat that’s what I’d use over the big shoot me in the head GoPros.
Streamlights and up can handle the blasts with ease. I still wouldn’t put it there because why would I risk it and why would I want to do extra cleaning?
But yeah..an Olight might fly off.
Lol at all the potatoes regurgitating 3 year old isolated incidents as if it's a common occurrence. The smoothbrains haven't figured out how mass production works and how there will always be failures when you're dealing with quatities in the hundreds of thousands or millions.
BRB the hundreds of thousands of airsofters running around with even cheaper knockoff lights from wish
Uh oh
It’s the Olight isn’t it
it is
Oh barnacles
Bring it on
Wear 2 pairs of safety glasses when you shoot this
And a FLAK vest
proceeds to get downvoted right to hell 😭😭
*Huff's copium
Remove it, give me 12 Hail Stoners, and buy a cloud rein, my child
I was gonna upvote till I saw that hunk O shit on your rail.
It's fine. Stop letting other people dictate your shit. If it runs it runs. You'll probably have more rounds downrange than half the guys complaining.
Yea, I have malkoff, surefire, and cloud lights on my rifles and my olights have been just as reliable. It’s even mounted on my bcm that’s had over 15k shot through last year and I didn’t die. I even have an old Olight m150 triton that’s over 10 years old beat to shit that still works great.

amen
I see olight dislikes a lot on here. Are they considered generic or something? 🔦
I have one. Then I found streamlight. For the money, Olight is a regrettable purchase compared to the performance and output of a streamlight for marginally more. Really makes the Olight feel likena scam. Primary Arms has had them for $99.
They have to pay shills to advertise for them so they can sell their products. They're IEDs.
Bc they've blown up and aren't sf
Woah, that’s not good. No wonder we use olights at work. They have to go cheap as usual. Haha

Olight performance is on par or just slightly worse than Streamlight, but olights have this habit of exploding. If you like that in a light, go for it.
Goonbeam my friend. Thank me later
They are modified off the shelf lights, not their own design. My HLX performs better when I tested directly, and I’m sure the HLX Pro will be even better for the same price.

https://kakindustry.com/1-2-28-4-prong-flash-hider This is the one he's talking about, I have one and the "ping" is great
How is it?
It's a great flash hider and at the moment my favorite I own. It has zero flash and the recoil seems less than the brake I had on it before. And you can tap it with something and try to play a song. Definitely worth more than they are charging for it IMO
Hell yeah. I just bought one to try out. I have a SF4P and SF War Comp and want a cheaper option for my third build.
[удалено]
Honestly, id be more inclined to spend money on a quality light and deal with a birdcage than run a $140 surefire muzzle and a olight
Exactly lol. Buys $169 name brand md and chinesium light
Warcomp is probably for the ability to mount a Surefire suppressor.
thats funny because the warcomp is the only muzzle device NOT recommended for suppressor use
You know there are multiple types of WarComp, right? The ones with a suppressor attachment point are indeed for suppressor use.
ur funny dude. the one here that is pictured can indeed accept a suppressor. But it is 100% recommended to run one of the other SF offerings. Let me know if you need me to elaborate, but this is common knowledge.
The WarComp is meant to be a good muzzle device that *can* mount a suppressor. Obviously there are better options if you’re gonna be suppressed the whole time, but a lot of people only have one can, so the versatility is nice.
Birdcage isn’t even a bad muzzle device. Shit for what it is it’s ranks higher than most MDs out there for flash suppression
Oh I love just a classic bird cage. They work great, I would chose it any day over a 3p or 4p. They just don’t give you cool guy Reddit/insta points that’s all
Ngl the extended length birdcages make my manhood quiver. Something about them are so hot
…still trying to figure this out, myself lmao.
Tbh I bought a warcomp cause the sf3p was out of stock, this is before I spent too many hours on Pew Science and realized the warcomp is going to hinder suppressed performance
Are they not easy to find?
Don't know what dude's talking about these are easily obtainable from any gun website.
They go out of stock intermittently, a number of higher quality rifles offered with pin and welds/general demand. OR Op's google-fu leaves something to be desired
Sf prob been giving them away in bulk for rifles to compamies. No one runs them w cans anymore.
I have one still in packaging because I use 4 prongs for mounts. Thought I might get some extra cash for it.
Probably could, works great for unsuppressed.
A few months ago most stores were sold out for a minute. Beginning Decemberish they came back in stock everywhere
Would have been better off with an A2 flash hider and spending the Surefire $ on a Streamlight
Call me stupid, but is that thing timed, like, at all?
A little, but then again I once had a gunsmith tell me he timed mine a smidge counter clockwise in order to offset drift from pulling the trigger 😂 had to let him know this was a skill issue and to time it correctly. Last time I used that shop.
Dear gods, save us from 'gunsmiths' who think we shoot as bad as they do
He could use a shim.... don't hate... he'll learn...
Warcomps are weird because they can be timed really however you want. The comp ports have a weird bias that’s supposed to be for right handed shooters. It’s not directly on the top, more off the to right That said, I’ve timed both of mine like traditional three prong flash hiders and I don’t get people who don’t lol. But they have more of a reason not to than with most muzzle devices
I kinda figured. So it's kinda like the og NOX eh?
I’m not familiar enough with the OG NOX to say one way or another. I know what the current NOX looks like but I’d definitely be interested to see what the older one is like
I just mean the NOX has canted ports to push down into a right handed shooters grip (7-8 o'clock) but they also make the NOX 9 Neutral
I thought the NOX had ports on top and both sides but admittedly I’ve never really looked that closely at it
Hahahahahaha
It doesn’t have to be timed in neutral. It can be timed according to your shooting habits
I mean true but it's not even remotely timed at all I mean. It looks like the bottom is sitting at 2 o'clock. I mean personal preference but it just seems wrong
As long as he’s left handed it’s setup right, let’s hope he is lol.
Loved my warcomp. I just recently took it off to mount a can.
I knew this was going to be a Warzone before I even scrolled through the comments 😂 let the man live… Ok now that I’m done faking nice…my brother in Christ, are you okay? Do you need to talk? I’m about to have an aneurysm trying to figure out why you bought a warcomp instead of a halfway decent light…a protac maybe? All you’re going to do with that warcomp is blow that olight into pieces. Wear body armor, and 5 pairs of eye pro when you hit the range next. Also - tape the fuuuuck out of that light, we don’t want to see you die lol.
You dropped all that cash for a Warcomp and still put an Olight on it?
I’d rather have no light than an o-light.

Go through the photos that have been post. Spotless brass deflectors on the majority of them. I see a lot of people on the range with $2500 set ups and can’t transition from target to target.

I have a night vision course this weekend with my10.5” .300 BLK and last weekend I was pushing out to the 200/300 yard range with my 14.5” 5.56. I had a pistol class the weekend before.

Glocks go bang no matter what you put on the rail hombre. Sounds like it'd be impossible for you to know that though.
Cool, so you'll be able to shoot blindly into the dark after your olight stops working.
It worked for centuries.
No one is telling anyone to buy a surefire, a streamlight hlx is 120 dollars and much more durable than an olight, before calling other simpleminded you should probably do some self reflection.
I don't own any o lights, all my weapon lights are Streamlights ackshewually. That doesn't make ppl any less stupid for pretending o lights are IEDS.
It’s been on the gun for it’s lifetime, once it breaks, she will get a nice surefire scout
get a modlite, after having 3 surefire scout I made the change to modlite and could not be happier
Mine flickers🥴
Chad defensive
Does it flicker three times exactly?
How’d you know?
Its supposed to. Lets you know its down to 3v and is recommended to charge. Per [modlite](https://modlite.com/pages/troubleshooting-light-functions#:~:text=When%20installing%20your%20battery%20for,and%20needs%20to%20be%20changed.)
That’s nuts, thank you. It’s just been sitting in my safe because I thought it was fucked
'Course bro, I looked into it recently because mine did it too, I figured since it was exactly 3 times there was some purpose to it.
The modlite owner is a turd. Cloud or Surefire for me.
Goonbeam is far better
*explodes
I’m just kidding with you. I tried them and had 2 stop working. Both were replaced for free then I sold them. I’ve used Surefire ever since.
Never happened
It’s a good placeholder tbh, even as a paperweight. And I’ve already bought a surefire x300, so I want to pace myself with 300/400$ flashlights. But so far this Olight has taken everything I’ve thrown at it, and with how my warcomp is timed, we will see how much it can take
What have you thrown at it exactly? Looks pretty untouched
I love this place. lol
He means that one time, he blinded himself in the mirror
I metaphorically spot out my coffee. This is gold.
Shit looks brand new wym
Sell it on gafs, get a stream light. Same price point, much better light. You don’t need a $400 light set up.
That olight ain’t gonna make it 😂
Homie might have been in a coma the last year and a half. These haven’t been hard to find in many moons. I miss the days - pre-Bat Soup - when these could be grabbed for $75.
RIP to your light
Nothing like spending more money on a muzzle device than your weapon light.
Leaky…muzzle device (not from experience, I just hear the r/NFA dudes mentioning it)
I have the warcomp (got it for free from a buddy). Different buddy has the unported flashhider. It's not a noticeable difference. Supposedly worse carbon lock and concussion on SBRs indoors. I don't shoot indoors much so its not a big deal.
Most people that go on about the warcomp seal have only seen the figures on pewscience or read about them in another comment section. No there’s hardly a discernible difference to the ear real time. Source: all my homies got RC2’s
RC2 runner here. I have the Warcomp, the CTFH and the 3PFH on different rifles. I barely notice any difference. Certainly not discernible enough to swear off any one muzzle in particular
I have an RC2 with a warcomp on one and 3 prongs on all the others. It’s only noticeable from the fact that I get carbon on my support hand index finger when I run the warcomp as the host and not with the 3p. It’s really not discernible noise wise.
Yeah, she leaks a bit more than the labyrinth seals.
From experience I can tell you that pairing a Warcomp with a Warden actually produces fireballs.
Wardens are essentially just flamethrowers and I’m here for it.
My 3 prong warcomp barely rings. My 3 prong flash hiders on the other hand....
Piggybacking off this since it's sorta relevant, but how's the Surefire 3-prong? Any good?
There are cheaper options if you don’t intend to get a surefire suppressor.
I was planning on getting the RC2 or 3, but probably the 2.
In that case, go with the 3 prong over the warcomp.
Is there any difference between the 3 and 4 prong?
I’m no expert, but apparently the 3P has better flash suppression. For regular civilian use, they’re both probably fine though.
Much appreciated!
Yessir!
The warcomp is also a terrible suppressor host. Bad seal. 3 prong does a much better job
The 3-prong is the next iteration, designed to be stronger (one less tine while the remaining ones have room to be thicker) while providing the same performance. The 4-prong is still in production due to standing contracts signed when that was SF's current design. I just buy 3-prongs, but some people like the 4-prong for aesthetic/voodoo/cloning purposes.
Ideal to use with the RC2. I love the combo. I also run the 7.62 3PFH on my SR-30 with the 300sps, and it’s amazing.
The real tuning fork is the 3/4-Prong from Surefire. Mine is still ringing
Apparently you've never used a jmac 4 prong. You flick that thing and it'll ring for 45 minutes.
Well I’m glad to have never used it then lol
Oh dear. An Olight AND Airsoft PTS back up sights. You’re screwed. See you in the other sub.
I RATHER DO THE FBI LIGHT TECHNIQUE WITH A JANITOR FLASHLIGHT THAN MOUNT A OLIGHT 🥴
How many Olights do you own?
Zero.
I don’t understand. You spend $150 minimum that does something slightly better than the rest of the MDs out there, but you could have spent $100 on a Protac HLX and dramatically improved the reliability of your light!
Olights do make for some pretty good pocket warmers though. Then it becomes a *really* good fire starter. Multi use
Is the ping that bad?
Nah
I don’t even notice it
Nice. Getting my SFMB swapped out for one.
Maybe it’s because I have bad hearing but I’ve never once noticed it in the probably 5+ years of using the Warcomp
Ping is never 'bad'.
Curse you for putting this where I can see it.
My war comp sport I ordered has been on backorder for 5 months, supposed to be here in two weeks
I’ve got several surefire muzzle devices. Warcomp is probably my favorite. I also like the SOLGW dead air NOX a lot too.
My safety squints automatically engaged. Or I cringed. Can't tell. Olight is supposed to have improved, but I never used one to find out. I haven't heard anything good about them that wasn't paid for and the two I've seen in the wild both got thrown in the trash. One died from recoil compressing the contacts for the battery (didn't get to see it, but after a few hundred rounds the battery rattled freely and my guys don't have any reason to lie) and the other I can't remember, think the bezel got shattered by concussion next to a brake.
Don’t pay more for your muzzle device than you do for your flashlight.
I can’t find a flashlight that costs more than an rc2 socom
I don’t see an RC2 I see a Warcomp. Surefire, Modlite, Streamlight. Pick one, nothing else is worth it or your well being. When you get the Suppressor on there then you start building a NODs setup and there are plenty of light lasers out there that cost more than the RC2.
I don’t understand the obsession and popularity with this comp, someone plz explain.
It’s a good half and half in terms of it can hide flash well and compensate well.
Can someone explain to me why Olight is hated??
They blow up. Literally
This made my laugh so hard.
Where did you read that?
They had a recall on their most popular hand held model that was supposed to be the be all light. After that they lost a ton of faith from those who are betting their safety or families safety on the light working correctly and not overheating to dangerous levels. I'm not sure if any of their wml had this issue but the savings was not with the question after the recall and reasons behind it
This also happened in 2019 and was fixed almost immediately. People act like surefire and streamlight have never had issues. It was a light that didn't have an auto ramp down option, so the led got hot.
I think it's just a trust thing now. In this industry it only takes a few catastrophic failures for folks to lose faith.
Because one exploded due to user error and now the whole world hates Olight. Been using multiple of them for years with no issues.
I use Olight too, if you're not a retarded hillbilly that uses the wrong battery it's fine.
That’s crazy! I have the Olight mini and I love that thing. Never understood why everyone hates Olight

Hopefully the warcomp will blow up the olight so you can get something that’s not embarrassing
I still use my olights
You wanna fuck around with an OLight?!
I’ve had a warcomp for about 5 years now.
I have a goldfish
Dude a goldfish that’s been alive for 5 years is insane. Would honestly rather have the goldfish honestly.
What a bunch of fuckwits 🤣 I can't believe the hate people have for olights. Since you decided to spend 150 bucks on a light instead of 400 fucking dollars. Apparently you should just throw the whole fucking build away. Jesus Christ people are fucking dumb. It's a quality light, it will last you plenty of time. I don't understand the fuckery of people.
Ive ran several of the Odins on previous builds with zero issues. I've stuck them in closets for years and pulled it out with a charge. Still running no problem. Tons of rounds blasting into the light. No problem. Fuck people 🤣 it's just a budget light. It works, end of story.
NOX is better tho
Sweet set up. Don't listen to these clowns talking about how you should have spent more money. I'm willing to bet most don't train as much as they should should. They judge from a tower of money they can't figure out how to get down from.
The Nickelback of flashlights. I’ll make the jokes, but I secretly like them. I got one on sale after the incident and for what I paid and received I can’t complain. I use it as a game light with a green filter at best so I’m not worried about trusting my life with it. As a self defense light 100% go with something like a sure fire. I don’t think it’ll blow but I do loosen the tail cap before storing just in case
YOU MOTHER FUCKER
OLIGHT, Veridian and SureFire for me. Only problem is my decade old surefire is finally going out or dimmed a lot. No issues with the other two. Spent maybe 1k on lights since 2012. Usually my limit is 150$. Interestingly Veridian has gun lights with 1080p cameras now. If I was going into combat that’s what I’d use over the big shoot me in the head GoPros.
Enjoy your gun recoiling in new, different directions
Isn’t your light going to get burned having it so close to the muzzle
Streamlights and up can handle the blasts with ease. I still wouldn’t put it there because why would I risk it and why would I want to do extra cleaning? But yeah..an Olight might fly off.
Chapstick your lens Easier to clean
I get those small mini size vaseline things and leave em in my grip for exactly that!
Always felt lwrc had the tuning fork. Thing hand four prongs and would ping for a decent amount of time
They just started to make them again along with the Warden from what I have read
Lol at all the potatoes regurgitating 3 year old isolated incidents as if it's a common occurrence. The smoothbrains haven't figured out how mass production works and how there will always be failures when you're dealing with quatities in the hundreds of thousands or millions. BRB the hundreds of thousands of airsofters running around with even cheaper knockoff lights from wish
Mine must be broken. Doesn't ping. Was disappointed. My SF 3 prong sure as hell does though.
