Interesting quote that, if true, is something that deserves more historian attention:
"These infrared weapons were developed in 1943 by the Army, precisely to defeat the infiltration tactics of the Japanese. Although fewer than 500 units were actually used, the Sniperscope accounted for about 30% of total Japanese casualties suffered by small-arms fire during the first week of the Okinawa campaign."
Note the cable, which by the look of the picture is plugged into a Bosco Generator. State of the art, if you are firing from the comfort of your living room.
Thanks folks, this is for a Kiwi SLR collector who is seeking information on all sights experimental included. I have sent him the link and looking forward to his comments. Some pics I have recently posted are his!
