VFC PEQ15 Illuminator Laser & LED Light Combo (Black)
[Z09E04B][06542 / VFC PEQ FLASH BLK]New to airsoft? Here are some safety tips for airsoft guns that we recommend following.
Description:
The VFC PEQ15 Illuminator Laser & LED Light Combo is not a battery box, it is a real aiming aid device. Up until now every airsoft PEQ15 has been an empty box made to look like a laser, but this is the real thing. VFC have combined a high intensity laser and LED flashlight in a high impact plastic case. The laser and light are powered by one CR123 lithium battery. On top of the box is an activation switch, but included is a remote pressure switch that the user can opt to plug in or leave it off. Next to the activation button is a switch where you can select laser only, light only, or both of them on at the same time. Also included are realistic warning laser that can be placed on the PEQ15 for an even more authentic look. The mount to secure this PEQ15 is sturdily constructed of metal for a firm foundation on any rail that it's mounted on.

Overall this peq 15 does what it advertised. Body is made of plastic, not sure what might happen if it is hit by a bb in game. Light is not that bright. Laser is red, would have been more realistic if it was green.
When I put it on the rail of my KWA M4 RIS, I noticed the laser is not zeroed in with the sights. The box itself has four different "adjustment knobs." I was messing around with them for a while. It doesn't seem like they do anything, so I'm guessing it is also just for authenticity purposes.
The switch is huge, and I mean HUGE! Only the very middle of the pad is the actual pressure point. Would've been nice if they made it smaller. Not sure what grip the pad will fit on.
Overall it does as advertised. I think price is pretty steep for just a light and laser, but it makes your aeg look good with an actual function.
Pros:
It has a working laser and light.
Cons:
Plastic body
No adjustment knobs, that actually work. (if they do, please someone correct me)
Pressure switch is big considering the only pressure point is right in the middle.
In my opinion the price is a con.
The visible red laser is indeed adjustable with the 4 adjustments posts, the adjustment is not as free as say a red dot or holographic sight and the travel is limited. Example, the red dot would not go as high as the dot on my M68, also, keep in mind that zeroing this to match a red dot is pointless, as the position of your visible projected red dot will change drastically when distance is thrown into the mix.Use one or the other. I have the tan VFC version and it works flawlessly. Use the 16340 battery type for a stronger output for the flashlight and dot.
Pros:
Sturdy
Lightweight
Accurate design
Cons:
No battery - use 16340s for higher output
Plastic lock tab for picatinny rail - not a deal breaker for $120....
This is the first laser/light combo I have ever purchased for a gun, and it was an interesting experience. As previously stated, the flashlight itself is not very bright, but for all intents and purposes, it works well enough. There are three holes for what I guess are the flashlight, a visible laser, and an IR laser for use with NVG. As far as I can tell, the hole for the IR laser is empty.
There is a knob on the box to set it to laser, light, laser/light and off settings when you press the pressure pad or the main button on the box itself.
Aesthetically, the laser/light combo makes your gun look wicked. I am ashamed to admit that I bought this only because it looks exactly like the light/laser box used on the M4 SOPMOD rifle Soap uses in CoD Modern Warfare, but the look is totally worth it, and the plastic feels sturdy enough. I don't think I would buy it again at $120, but I am happily surprised that my first blind purchase didn't turn out worse.
Pros:
Laser/light has several different settings
Included pressure pad is a nice touch
Gives your gun a very "Special Forces" look to it
Mounts very sturdily to your gun on a RIS system, and have knobs for minute adjustments that work quite well (as long as you don't have to adjust your laser too high up)
Cons:
Personally, I prefer to have my pressure plate mounted on my pistol grip with my shooting hand, but the cord isn't long enough to reach there.
The Pressure plate itself doesn't activate unless you press it directly in the middle.
Flashlight isn't as bright as it should be.
I got gypped buying batteries for this sucker at Radioshack, 2 for $20! On Airsoft GI, its 2 for $6, and 5 for $9 or something, get the rechargeable ones that some other reviewer was talking about.
$120 is a whole lotta dough for this plastic thing.
