AN/PVS-27 Magnum
Universal Night Sight™ (MUNS™)
shown mounted on McMillan Brothers .50 Caliber Sniper Rifle. |
The AN/PVS-27 Magnum Universal Night Sight™ (MUNS™) is a high-resolution clip-on night vision weapon sight that mounts on any MIL-STD-1913 rail interface forward of an existing scope, adding night vision capabilities to daytime target acquisition platforms. The Magnum Universal Night Sight™ (MUNS™) utilizes a full MIL-SPEC Gen 3 (autogated pinnacle) image intensifier tube, an extremely fast f/1.0 catadioptric lens for a brighter and sharper image in starlight, and patented permanent boresight alignment technology. The MUNS™ gathers twice as much light as the AN/PVS-22 Universal Night Sight™ (UNS™) and can be used against targets at 1.5 times the range of the AN/PVS-22. The unit is installed, operated, and removed without tools and without affecting boresight (permanent boresight alignment). The unit can be mounted on a spotting scope for long range reconnaissance, hand-held as a Night Observation Device (NOD), or used in other night-time operations requiring night vision capabilities. Optimized for medium- & long-range sniper weapons including the SR-25 / MK11, XM107, .338 Lapua, .308 M24, Chandler & 300 Win Mag. Effective on all weapons from carbines to .50 caliber semi-automatic and bolt action sniper rifles. The MUNS™ includes OSTI’s proprietary Shock Mitigation System™ (SMS™), allowing the unit to be used on weapons up to and including .50 caliber bolt-action rifles.
