Rheinmetall unveils new version of VR-LP device
Rheinmetall has introduced a new version of its Vario-Ray LowProfile (VR-LP) laser aiming and illuminating device for compact assault rifles, the company announced on 6 December.
The compact VR-LP is waterproof and lightweight, and features durable aluminium case that extends less than one inch above the mounting rail to assure the holographic sights are not obstructed. The product features four lasers: a red visible aiming laser, a near infrared laser, as well as two near infrared illuminators.
The system is designed to provide superior illumination beam quality and uniformity that increases the operator’s situational awareness in all environments. The VR-LP’s design will allow the operator to easily adjust the power settings of all four lasers as well as the illuminator's narrow and wide field of view.
The VR-LP is compatible with all in-service night vision devices.
