I checked out JRH's site and still don't seem to know more.

Is there any kind of good standard mono that can be used freehand and weapon-mounted behind a T2 with like a Surefire Vampire or something?

Or is that stupid and using a helmet pretty much the normal way to do it?

My only experience with NV is hog hunting with borrowed gear. Some kind of NV scope/laser/illuminator that I just used without knowing anything about it.
Technically you can weapon mount up to 5.56 but most people don't "marry" the 14 to the rifle anymore. Most will head or helmet mount the 14 and use an IR laser on the rifle as the aiming point.

Saves arm fatigue and possible safety issues when working with others- versus swinging the weapon around to get a "look" through the weapon mounted NV.

This way you turn your head to get a "look" like God designed your body versus turning your whole body essentially doing a "facing movement" with the rifle to get "look."

Let me know if that didn't make sense.
