Night Vision help!?

Question

I was wondering if there is any way to mess up someones vision when they are using night vision. I play airsoft and yesterday we got our butts handed to us because the other team hand gen 2 night vision. We dont have the money to buy our own so is there any way to distract them? is there any equipment we can use to disrupt their night vision?

Answer 1

One way is to shine light into there night vision equipment or Just use a EMP device and deactivate all of their night vision stuff, but also will do it to everything else in the radius of that EMP blast was used. I suggest the lights a lot more.

Answer 2

This is so mean but a camera flash unit. If you think they are close fire the strobe into the area you suspect. But you will give yourself away.

Get some camo mosquito net (nylon) 3 feet wide. Find 3 trees in a triangle or 4 in a square and wrap the net around the trees. Secure with bulletin board push pins. Wrap another layer up higher, make sure to overlap several inches. sit quietly in the middle and you are invisible to active IR. The IR beam can not penetrate the mosquito net. Any ambient light will light up the outside of the net and you are invisible. If you light anything inside the screen enclosure it will light up like a lantern and you will be detected.

I learned this trick in Grenada 1983, funny we wern't playing airsoft.
