Red laser target light

Post by IanHill »

So had my tank a few weeks. Was reading about the IRvsystem it has for tank to tank battling. The instructions refer to red targeting light? Not sure what this is as can’t see any red lights etc.

Help and advise welcome.

The red targeting light is an add on laser that is not included with the kit. Some of us use it for other things like powering a spotlight or other lights.

No, it serves a dual purpose: aesthetic (I can see where I’m aiming, although the Airsoft gun is not nearly accurate or precise enough to hit where the light is at) and also safety (hey, I’m about to shoot an Airsoft pellet warning light).

The IR emitter is a separate LED bulb with its own port on the TK7.x to plug into.
