What are the pros and cons for each using them at night for either hunting or SD.
I am referring to using lasers of either the red or green variety, as well as using red or green flashlights.
I use a green laser for astronomy reasons because you can see the green laser line and makes it very easy to point out stars planets etc in the sky. Yes one has to be careful of airplanes for obvious reasons. So I’m not for sure one would want to use a green laser on a firearm for SD other then maybe against an animal.
As far as flashlights go... the red or green doesn’t seem to me to be any different on my eyes seeing. I can’t see anything better or worse with one over the other or vice versa.
I do have scopes and sights where I can choose between a red dot/reticle and a green dot/reticle. So one one firearm, I have my red laser sighted in for 75 yards and my Green dot sighted in for 50 I use green so when looking through the sight I can see where my 50 and 75 yard target lines up.
However since both are available I am just wondering what the pros and cons are, or if there aren’t any except for personal preference. And the fact the green laser you can see the beam.
