AN/PAQ-4B lR Aiming Laser
Period: 2000s.
The AN/PAQ-4 is an infrared laser aiming device used by the US military, with the AN/PAQ-4B being an early model. It is designed to be used with night vision equipment to illuminate targets with infrared light, aiding in aiming during nighttime operations. The "B" designation likely refers to a specific version or iteration of the AN/PAQ-4, and while marketed as "eye-safe," it could still cause harm with prolonged exposure.
