i wouldn't use this gun to go looking for trouble. if there were a dark place with unknowns, i wouldn't go in with the g43, i also don't think that's what this gun was made for.
for your specific scenario of putting down a deer in the dark, does the light really have to be on your gun? that's a non emergent situation. you could accomplish that with a headlamp and the gun and every car should have a head lamp in it.
my argument is for all the emergent situations that this gun would legitimately be the most useful tool, lighting is a smaller factor.
for real work, this gun can't be a primary use choice. this gun is the other option.
