AUSA 26 – Colt Optics LP5X-P Laser Aiming Device Officially launched back in mid-Summer, the LP5X-P Laser Aiming Device is based on the Brolis Defense model of the same name which is used by several NATO countries. Four co-aligned lasers do the work of an entire aiming suite: a visible green pointer, an IR pointer, an IR illuminator with electronically adjustable beam divergence, and a VCSEL IR flood illuminator. Because every emitter is co-aligned, a single zero puts them all on the same point of impact and the aiming lasers sit directly over the bore line to keep offset to a minimum. The US LP5X-P pushes a 26 mW visible laser for cutting through extreme bright conditions, with a modified divergence adjustment sized for gloved-hand manipulation. An adjustable flip-up mechanical back-up iron sight, an IP68-rated polymer housing, and a single CR123 battery round out a unit that mounts low-profile on any MIL-STD-1913 / STANAG 4694 Picatinny rail. coltoptics.com Read the full article here
