PLAYING WITH KYPTONYTE

LASERLYTE RML K-15 KRYPTONYTE -  This little laser site comes in black or tan and mounts easily to anything with a rail. It offers travers and elevation dials to setup your site alignment which takes about 5 min right out of the box if your sites are on. The green kryptonyte laser it produces is amazingly brilliant and easy to see and the addition of the temporary on pressure switch is nice allowing you to use when you need it and not as a constant here I am beckon. The down side to this as with all weapons electronics is battery life being short. The K-15 uses CR123/SureFire batteries and chews through them relatively fast. That said it only takes one at a time and has a watertight compartment. The K-15 can be submersed for limited amounts of time as we found out the hard way and works just as well in the rain. For the price you get a decent piece of kit. Compared to the cost for other similar systems it's a good place to start but make no mistake it's not a military grade site.



CONSTRUCTION 7/10 - The K-15 is made of quality materials and despite its size doesn't have that cheap crappy feel.  It can take more then a few good smacks against random door frames and car doors and other objects that seem to be part of the daily grind.  Surprisingly it can be submersed for a limited amount of time and still works great.  If there is any complaint it's the batter life and the temp on switch which will require replacement after consistent use so you mite want to get a back up.

DESIGN 3/10 - nothing special about the design, it's a compact laser weapons site.

DURABILITY 6/10 - It has held up despite being bashed against everything have come in contact with over the last 6 months.

OVER ALL IMPRESSION 6/10 - The cost in regard to results makes this a nice little piece of kit for any active shooter.  It is highly visible even over distances better then 300 meters. It is compact which means you don't have to remove it from your weapon system when you store it.  Over all it's a laser site and it works.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Well, as of 11hrs ago I caved in.  There is now a CARNAGE TACTICAL Page on Facebook.  Some of the new gear we've looked at will be posted there as well as some of the older posts.  In addition I'll have a few new write ups come January, as with the Christmas coming in 13 days I'll be focusing on family and friends instead of shiny kit.  With that look to read reviews on the MYSTERY RANCH WOLFPACK with BVS, the PROTEC A-BRAVO Helmet, the CONTOUR ROAM HD Video Camera and the ACR MS 2000 IR Strobe.  I've also been working on a video review of the MOSSBERG TACTICAL 22 LR (PLINKSTER 207/217)

Merry Christmas to you all, best wishes to you and yours.  To those still over seas during this time of year we'll be thinking of you and stay safe.
