The large shrouds/enclosures absolutely suck when using head mounted night vision. eotech's thin shroud practically disappears while that one would cause a lot of blur.

Wouldn't that have more to do with the glass quality than the size of the enclosure?

I am not an optical engineer and while glass quality does play a part the larger the lens the more light can come through (at least that is how I think it works)

The FOV on a PVS-14 is pretty narrow which makes thick walled optics take up a lot of your vision. It can also create a blur around the optic where the enclosure is since the NVG is a fixed focus. You end up seeing a black, blurry ring around the glass which can mess with your target acquisition. Maybe the quad tube NVGs don't have this issue.
Glare is amplified when using NVGs so nice glass and a shroud helping block incidental light helps a lot. You can tell the difference between a Vortex's and Trijicon's glass.

Glass quality is fairly important with NV for clarity/IR transmission.
While you're correct a bigger objective lens on a lensed optic means more light, a red dot/holo sight is not that. A 'brighter picture' in a lensed optic/camera lens/etc means more light focused on the same area, gathered by the objective lens. There's no 'focusing' if you will going on in a red dot, the light rays go straight through. Thinner sides is helpful because less light's getting blocked, which can be helped a bit by a bigger window (just because the picture/dark fuzzy spot ratio is better). The bigger windowed 1x optic is not going to "gather light" in the same way a scope or lens will, in short.

Oh and the PVS-14 is not designed to work with amplified optics, in case anyone is interested in purchasing one.

Yup. There's a loooooot of whys in that but if you want long range NV, a mounted scope is the way to go.

Don't know if this guy is on anyone's radar but Wendigoon has 1.36M subscribers and just showed off his power level.
Homie really got a bunch of normie subscribers by talking about internet horror, "icebergs", conspiracies and true crime and now he's teaching them how Larry Phillip Jr.'s HK91 and AK jammed during the North Hollywood shootout.

Coincidentally I just saw his channel and have been watching his ARG analysises and they are really good.

I'm not trying to come down that hard on you, but c'mon, showing that you own a gun isn't that weird for an American to do.
You wanna know who's really shown their powerlevel? The8bitguy:
Dare I say, in many ways...
Hell. Even Vice made an article about him since they got so assmad.
I remember when that XP video came out and let's just say it was clear who were the Europeans in his audience lmao.

If I recall correctly, it was done by a local group protesting the autistic state gun laws at the time....in Texas, it was legal to carry a long gun openly, but not a handgun, so people carried rifles around to raise awareness.

That's what I remember, yes. But, as usual, the people screeching about it had no idea what that was all about. They just saw "scary thing" and started shitting themselves.

Yep, that's Karl dutifully being a broken clock.
I might be generally pro-law enforcement (got plenty of family and friends in that field), but all that means is that I hold them to a high standard. And thankfully so do my friends and family. One acquaintance aside, everybody I've talked to thinks that whole thing was a fucking disgrace.
