I took the opportunity to film this month’s Q&A at the Moon Out 2026 night rifle match, where I was joined by Hop, Brass Facts, Kit Badger, Luke (Ballistic Aviation), and PSR. These guys have a lot of night vision experience between them, and I figured it would be a perfect place to answer some of your night vision questions. Thanks to everyone for joining me!
0:45 – Introduction to night vision use for suburban beginners
14:32 – Bridging analog and thermal/digital
18:35 – When will digital NV overtake analog?
25:44 – Will a red dot sight expose you under night vision?
30:03 – How much do muzzle devices and barrel length impact NVG shooting?
34:22 – Shooting passive with a PVS-7 single-tube NVG?
37:33 – Developments in ancillary NVG controls and gear?

At Forgotten Weapons I think the most interesting guns out there are the most obscure ones. I try to search out experimental and prototype weapons and show you how they work, in addition to more conventional guns that you may not have heard of before. You’re much more likely to find a video on the Cei Rigotti or Webley-Fosbery here than an AR or Glock. So, do you want to learn about something new today? Then stick around!
