I wouldn't be surprised if a glove with a mesh palm might have been a fashion accessory for this rig.

My question is if this uses a skin surface bridge style activation, wouldn't the light them be constantly on, as long as one held the pistol?
This is not very tactically sound, unless there is a separate switch as well, which would seem redundant? Last edited by alanint; 03-06-2012 at 05:21 PM. |

In practical use, if you are going to sweep a darkened room or area, you pretty much have to keep the light on.
It is possible that this impressive rig is an over-engineered "gadget" made up for an elite service, and has more "pomp and ceremony" than actual necessity.

Rich, I remember that discussion, having read it last year after my naissance into Lugerforumdom, when I was reading everything here. I'm surprised I didn't recognize it from then, it is so distinctive. I don't recall specifically any discussion about how it is actually mounted to the gun. |

I remember trying to wrap my head around how it works, but didn't understand it :\
Today we would have used trasistors, but they where not invented at the time. Skin alone would not be a good enough conductor to power a light.. So perhaps something simple as metal wires in a glove? In any case, the designer must have been one clever guy
