NcSTAR Low Profile Laser - Product Review

Are you seeking a compact and convenient laser sight for your airsoft gun? The NcSTAR Low Profile Laser was popular, providing quick target acquisition and improved aiming capabilities. Although this particular product is no longer available at Fox Airsoft, we have many excellent options for you to explore. We recommend checking out our wide selection of lasers here.

The NcSTAR Low Profile Laser was designed to enhance your sighting system without adding bulk. Its compact size and low profile made it ideal for rifles and pistols. The red laser allowed for rapid target acquisition, eliminating the need to align traditional iron sights.

This laser sight is easily mounted to any picatinny rail system and features a crossbar type button for convenient activation. However, it's important to note that the ON/OFF functionality was not reversible. The solid aluminum body and metal mounting hardware ensured durability, while the slim, low-profile design added functionality without compromising your firearm's maneuverability. If you intended to holster your gun with the laser attached, it was necessary to consider a universal holster as a solution.

While the NcSTAR Low Profile Laser served its purpose well, we want to ensure you have access to the latest advancements in airsoft laser technology. That's why we encourage you to explore our diverse laser collection, where you'll find a wide range of options to elevate your aiming precision and enhance your airsoft gameplay.

Here's a quick overview of the key features you can expect from our laser selection:

  • Various laser colors, including red and green
  • Multiple mounting options for picatinny rails and pistols
  • Adjustable settings for windage and elevation
  • Durable constructions for long-lasting performance
  • Various laser output power options to suit different requirements

When considering laser visibility, it's important to note that their effectiveness can vary depending on lighting conditions. While lasers generally work well in low-light situations, their visibility can be limited in bright daylight. Green lasers offer slightly better daylight visibility than red ones, but it's essential to manage your expectations, particularly for long-distance engagements.

It's crucial to handle airsoft lasers responsibly. When used responsibly, airsoft lasers pose no problems. However, treating them as novelty items or for use against non-human targets is important. Lasers should never be directly pointed at the bodies of humans or animals, as they can harm the eyes. Shining lasers at aircraft or other vehicles in operation is also illegal and punishable by law. At Fox Airsoft, we prioritize safety and offer a range of airsoft-grade lasers designed for use specifically in airsoft. These lasers are not guaranteed to hold zero on real firearms, as they are not designed to handle the recoil of firearms. However, they perform excellently within the realm of airsoft.

We understand that new and improved options are always available on the market, and we want to provide you with the best choices for your airsoft needs. That's why we invite you to explore our diverse laser collection to discover the latest advancements in laser technology for airsoft.

As always, safety is paramount, and we recommend using lasers responsibly and by local regulations. Remember to prioritize eye safety and avoid shining lasers at living beings or aircraft.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which laser is brighter?

The brightness of a laser is primarily determined by its power output and wavelength. Generally, green lasers are considered the brightest to the human eye. At the same power level, a green laser appears much brighter than a red or blue laser because the human eye is more sensitive to green light, particularly around the 532 nm wavelength. Green lasers are easily visible in daylight and can reach longer distances, making them popular for various applications, including firearm targeting and astronomy.

What are the different color lasers in guns?

Lasers used in firearms typically come in several colors, with the most common being red, green, and blue. Red lasers are the most traditional and economical option, often used for their simplicity and cost-effectiveness. Green lasers are more visible in a wider range of lighting conditions and are favored for their brightness and longer range. Blue lasers, while less common, offer a unique visual and can sometimes provide better visibility in certain environments. Each color has its advantages, with green lasers generally being the most versatile and effective for targeting purposes.

What type of laser is most effective?

The effectiveness of a laser depends on its intended use. For firearm targeting, green lasers are often considered the most effective due to their high visibility in various lighting conditions and their ability to be seen at longer distances. Green lasers offer a good balance of brightness, range, and eye sensitivity, making them suitable for both daylight and low-light scenarios. However, the choice of laser color and type should also consider specific operational needs, such as stealth, visibility to night vision devices, and personal preference.

What Colour laser is most powerful?

In terms of perceived brightness and visibility to the human eye, green lasers are the most powerful. A green laser at 532 nm is up to five times more visible than a red laser of the same power level. However, when considering raw power output and potential applications, blue and violet lasers can achieve higher power levels in scientific and industrial settings. The "most powerful" laser color depends on the context of use, but for practical visibility and effectiveness in firearms and general use, green lasers are typically the most powerful.

What color laser do military use?

The military uses various laser colors for different purposes, with green and infrared (IR) lasers being the most common. Green lasers are used for visible targeting and designation due to their high visibility and effectiveness over long distances. Infrared lasers, which are invisible to the naked eye, are used in conjunction with night vision equipment for covert operations and low-light engagements. IR lasers provide tactical advantages by allowing military personnel to aim and designate targets without giving away their position to the naked eye. The choice of laser color depends on the specific mission requirements and operational environment.
