1PN-51 improved Night Vision Device |

The Russian 1PN51 scope is a "second generation" night vision optic that gives a slightly less blurry picture than the first generation of night vision devices and no "fish eye" distortion. |
A quote found on a discussion forum from a Russian member: "The Soviet army for the most part was an extremely mobile force. The infantry fought by the side of their tanker comrades, though a scope like that would never be issued to your lowly infantry marksmen. The 1pn51 has primary been used by the "top" for most of its service time. Now it is slowly coming into the hands of less "elite" forces like VDV etc. The scope itself I find balances out the SVD because its design does not make it too front or back heavy. There are cheaper Soviet scopes out there but they are only Gen 1+ and lower. But they are really fun to use and I am sure would serve you better then the naked eye. I have one called the NPSU or 1PN34 I think it is a great scope." |

| This is the 1PN51-2 night vision scope that has an improved scope mount which allows a better fit to the RPG rail (as well as the standard Russian rail on the usual rifles, LMG, etc). The 6 volt battery is now mounted horrizontally which gives it a lower profile. | |
