I have noted some pretty heated discussion (thankfully that has avoided this forum) about light use, techniques and the effectiveness of a BLINDING light.
Here is my take and I would like to so hear from the rest of you. OC was first said to be 100% effective. I started using it long before most agencies and found it 60% effective and a nice option. After the intended victims realised over time what it was and how effective it was, or was not, the hype died off.
I argued long and hard on the TL that the effectiveness of a Surefire light was along the same lines. Again as the guys on the recieving end learn what a light will, or will not do, it looses its effectiveness as a tool in the UOFC.
The most recent AH has an ad that certainly implies that "no one" can fight with a Surefire light in their eyes. It's BS IMO.
Take it away guys :grin:
