This video from Brownells showcases an M3 Carbine equipped with a rare M2 infrared night vision sight. The M3 is essentially an M2 Carbine, which is the select-fire version of the M1 Carbine, fitted with this advanced, albeit bulky, night vision system. The description highlights the significant technological leap this represented in the mid-to-late 1940s and Korean War era, featuring a large scope, IR emitter, and a heavy 20 lb. battery pack. It's presented as a more suitable defensive weapon due to its size and weight, with a practical range of 75-125 yards, starkly contrasting with modern affordable night vision. The video emphasizes how cutting-edge this technology was, appearing almost science fiction at the time.
