I would still go with a md3. It's the most versatile body. It can take a endless amount of battery combinations.
Yep that would be a good choice.

There has been a lot of discussions regarding the concept of a bombproof light which would never fail. Which is more bombproof: HDS, Elzetta, Malkoff, etc.
In my opinion the most robust light should not have anything but a LED, body and batteries. Which means no driver and no switch.
So I am left with well potted 5mm LEDs, 2x AA/AAA cells and springless twisty.
I have experimented with some multiple 5mm yuji configurations to understand, what is the minimum number of the how LEDs I need in an edc light. Looks like 5 is quite sufficient. And an mcpcb with 5 5mm leds fits greatly an aleph mule head or maglite AA.
A z44 bezel can fit 12x 5mm leds or more, so a 6p with a zerorez tail and a short pill would, in my opinion be the king of bombpoofness.
Stick one on a gun and fire 100 rounds and watch it crap out. I have thousands of rounds threw my MALKOFF and surefire's and they are still working. I can't say that for the latter.Fish14, Why do you think Streamlights are garbage? I have a Protac HLX and a Protac 1l/1AA for over two years now and never have a problem. They get used a lot. davemp
It is interesting that this topic has come up here and now, because last night, when I was supposed to be sleeping, I was wide awake thinking that I do not have anything in the HDS-LRI-Malkoff-McGizmo-Muyshondt-Okluma-Oveready-Peak-Pelicans-Prometheus-TexasLumens-TNC and Surefire and Zebralight class of flashlights yet, and that I would have to continue reading vast quantities of material to decide on which is "best" or simply open a new topic thread to ask which is "best" for me to start in this class of lights.
All of a sudden, here we are!
So, where does someone who is solidly and happily in the Fenix-Nitecore-Olight universe make his first move into the HDS-Malkoff-Zebralight universe, in search of the truly most robust survival light?
There's a video like that with HDS as wellWho saw the video running around with elzetta changing batteries under water? Not real good for primaries even but worked just fine.
