Anyone have thoughts on this optic? Fraser-Volpe, MARS
The MARS appears to be about the same size as an EOTech EXPS but it has the benefit of a built in laser. Anyone know of this product and whether anyone has used it on the PS90? It looks pretty nice. Cheers!

A quick google shopping search shows this thing well above an Eotech in price. Is it really worth $300+ more? Although the built in laser looks pretty bad ass.
Nothing good can ever come from staying with normal people.

The way I would cost justify it is that an EOTech EXPS version costs ~$600 +/- and if I wanted a real nice laser I could go with the intergrated Promoted Pawn for $720. Money isn't really my focus. I'm just curious if anyone has heard anything good/bad and whether it would even be a good pairing with the PS90 (standard).

What a wussie ass laser. 1mW. Pass on it for this reason alone.

Ahahaha, holy crap you're right sir! I didn't even catch that. There goes my attention to detail. Yes 1mw is child's play vs. the PP internal which is 5mw! That settles it...1mw...geesh. I think my 25 year old laser tag gun puts out more than that. Originally Posted by HK SD9 Tactical

I have one of those and I am working on it to utilize a more powerful laser. Here is the thread concerning this project...

Gonna have to carry a backpack battery pack. I just want to illuminate it before I shoot it, not burn it to the ground. Originally Posted by Delmustator

Nice work though.
