Antonio Garcia/Released) AN/PSQ-23 Small Tactical Optical Rifle Mounted (STORM) Micro-Laser Rangefinder (MLRF) The AN/PEQ-16B aiming laser he is using is invisible unless you are using a NVD (Night Vision Device.) (U.S. The MIPIM is a small bit heavier than the PEQ-15, but includes more (the LED light.)Īn infantry Marine aims at his target during a night deck shoot. The AN/PEQ-16B – Much like the PEQ-15, this device has both infrared (IR) and visible aiming lasers that are co-aligned – but unlike the PEQ-15 it includes a white LED light. It emits a visible or infrared light for precise weapon boresighting and aiming, and incorporates a Light Emitting Diode (LED) bright white light for target/area illumination. It enables laser pointing and precision aiming in visible or infrared spectrums. The AN/PEQ-16B Mini Integrated Pointed Illuminator Module (MIPIM) is an integrated white light and laser device.ĪN/PEQ-16B MIPIM mounted on an M4 carbine. Need white (visible) light and laser pointers for a carbine or rifle? AN/PEQ-16B Mini Integrated Pointed Illuminator Module (MIPIM) The AN/PEQ-14 ILWLP is used exclusively by military police units. Weight:ĥ hours of continuous operation, depending on functions
Two DL 123 standard commercial batteries are used. The AN/PEQ-14 combines the functions of a white light flashlight with adjustable focus, visible aiming laser, infrared (IR) aiming laser and IR illuminator into one system. In addition to visible laser, IR laser, and IR illuminator, it has a visible white light. It can be mounted on the M9 pistol with a Military Standard (MIL-STD)-1913 rail adapter (picatinny rail.)Īn AN/PEQ-14 on an M9 pistol. It is the equivalent of the AN/PEQ-15 – but for pistols – and it includes a regular white light/flashlight. The AN/PEQ-14 Integrated Laser/White Light Pointer (ILWLP) is a small, lightweight device soldiers can handhold – but it is really meant for use with pistols. AN/PEQ-14 Integrated Laser/White Light Pointer (ILWLP) Here’s a closeup of the various switches on the DBAL-A2. The DBAL-A2 version of the AN/PEQ-15 is the newest and most improved. It incorporates an improved IR illuminator to provide better illumination at longer distances, and the cleaner, circular beam allows for accurate range estimation and engagement of moving targets. The newest version, the AN/PEQ-15A Dual Beam Aiming Laser – Advanced2 – also known as the DBAL-A2, has improvements. The PEQ-15 is lighter and smaller, but both have similar capabilities. The fore-runner of the PEQ-15 was the AN/PEQ-2 and AN/PEQ-4C. Jamean Berry/Released) Dimensions:ĪN/PEQ-15 mounted on the front of a weapon. The AN/PEQ-15 IR aiming laser is invisible to the naked eye – but is easily seen with night vision devices (which is the whole point!) This can be used to enhance the view through night vision goggles – but is highly visible to anyone (and everyone) else with night vision devices. The IR illuminator provides a wide beam of IR light – sort of like a flashlight. Not only does the AN/PEQ-15 include two different lasers, but it also includes an IR illuminator. The co-aligned lasers are adjustable for windage and elevation. Jamean Berry/Released)īecause it is an aiming light (laser) it is normally used in conjunction with another optic – as seen in many of these pictures. It can be mounted on the side, or on the top of a quad rail.Īn AN/PEQ-15 ATPIAL can also be mounted on the top of the quad rail. It is normally attached to the M1913 picatinny rail or equivalent, as shown here. It is used with a wide array of weapons, including: M16-series rifle, M4/M4A1 carbine, M249 machine gun, M240B machine gun, M2 machine gun, and the MK 19 machine gun/grenade launcher. It is “multi-function” because it includes both a visible laser for daylight use, and an IR (invisible to the un-aided eye) laser for use with night vision devices. The AN/PEQ-15 attaches to a variety of weapons and provides a visible daylight laser beam (for aiming) and an invisible IR laser beam for use with night sights and goggles. During the daytime soldiers can employ visible red dot lasers for targeting purposes, whereas at night, they can employ IR beams as they can only be detected with the use of night vision devices.
These devices are designed to provide precision aiming in visible and infrared (IR) spectrums. It is also known as the Advanced Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Light (ATPIAL).įor a civilian, think of this as a “laser pointer”, but for a gun. The AN/PEQ-15 is described as a “multi-functional aiming light”, or MFAL for short.
