NSP-2
The NSP-2 is a gun mounted night vision optic of Soviet origin. The device uses a Gen. 0 P-4 tube with a different format than V-7 or V-1P/V-1PM.[1] While the device is of Soviet origin, numerous Warsaw Pact states produced the device under license. These countries include: the GDR, Poland and Czechoslovakia. [2]
The device when in its box has a weight of 16 Kilos. The device has a magnification of 2.2x and a field of view of 8°. The scope itself has a large IR light mounted on top with a 4.5v 20w bulb inside. Additionally there's a cable that leads to a transformer that was meant to be worn on the users hip. Inside the transformer is the battery compartment, which fits the 3SC-25 4.5 volt accumulator that is supplied with the device.[3] The device can be used for 3.5 hours before having to have the battery changed.[4]
