Consequently, though they are commonly used by the military and law enforcement agencies, night vision devices are available to civilian users for a wide range of applications including aviation, driving, demining, etc. The technology has evolved greatly since its introduction, leading to several "generations" of night-vision equipment with performance increases and price reductions. These devices were first used in World War II and came into wide use during the Vietnam War. These can used in conjunction with weapon sights like rifle scopes or can be used as standalone sights some thermal weapon sights have been designed to provide similar capabilities. Some night vision devices are specially made to be mounted to firearms. The laser sight produces an infrared beam that is only visible through an NVD and aids with aiming. When used with firearms, an IR laser sight is often mounted to the user's weapon. Night vision devices can be handheld but many are head-mounted and attach to helmets. Night vision devices may be passive, relying solely on ambient light, or may be active, using an IR (infrared) illuminator to better visualize the environment. The image produced by an NVD is typically monochrome green, as green was considered to be the easiest color to look at for prolonged periods in the dark. objective lens) on NVDs to protect the latter from damage by environmental hazards and some can incorporate telescopic lenses. Many NVDs also include a protective sacrificial lens, mounted over the front lens (ie. A night vision device usually consists of an image intensifier tube, a protective housing, and may have some type of mounting system. By comparison, viewing of infrared thermal radiation is referred to as thermal imaging and operates in a different section of the infrared spectrum. The device enhances ambient visible light and converts near-infrared light into visible light which can be seen by the user this is known as I 2 ( image intensification). It is ironic that SS appears under the logo now since we ditched the Super Sniper name but in fact SS has always been part of the logo, look closely at the feathers.A 1PN51-2 night-vision reticle with markings for range estimationĪ night-vision device ( NVD), also known as a night optical/observation device ( NOD), night-vision goggle ( NVG), is an optoelectronic device that allows visualization of images in low levels of light, improving the user's night vision.

We faced the Eagle in our logo in the opposite direction of the Sniper Patch to further distance it from looking like a replica. Our logo is not meant to be a replica of either and is not meant to promote Nazism. Inspired by these two thought provoking awards my father designed our logo. The oversized eye to further emphasis it sees all, perfect for this type of award and perfect for a "sniper" type scope for the same reasons. Again, an eagle is perfect for a reconnaissance award as they soar high above and survey without being detected. The second award that inspired our logo is the Reconnaissance Clasp. (Perfect symbol for a sniper award and a "sniper" scope). His effectiveness relies on not being seen, superior vision and a precise strike. For instance the Sniper Patch (Scharfschützenabzeichen) is an Eagle, an eagle sits up high (unseen) and searches its surroundings with keen vision, is a strong apex predator that attacks silently and swiftly, often from long distances. The German awards were well thought out and very unique and for those reasons they are the most desirable to collectors. My father was an avid collector of many things, his expertise was WWII and that was by far his passion. At this point in time we were just retailing rifle scopes at gun shows. At the time he had no idea what the future held and that someday we would have a scope company. He harbored the notion of combining two German WWII awards to make a logo for a scope company.

The logo was thought up by my father many years prior to the Super Sniper scopes being made. The scopes were commonly referred to by our customers by the acronym SS, so it was logical to rename the line SS as it would be easy to transition to without causing much confusion. We started working on our own branding to separate us from tasco and Super Sniper. 2004 As we were never too fond of the name, “Super Sniper”
