What flashlight used on Saddam?

mporter · Dec 14, 2003

When I read the news this morning about Saddam Hussein being captured by US forces hiding in a "spider hole" beneath the ground, I imagined that a tactical flashlight was the first thing he saw.

I wonder what light?

From the video I saw, if it was a tac light, it was poor, and it had a lot of artifcats in it. Looked more like a standard angle head flashlight.

Unfortunatly it looked like a Mag beam to me on TV

Reporter: "...and do you know how Saddam managed to avoid capture for so long?"
General: "Apparently he managed to always stay hid inside the dark donut hole in our cheap flashlight's beam"

The beam shot of the light being used looked more like it was fixed on the camera. Possibly a poor camera light and not a flashlight. The 2D angle flashlight's beam is crap compared to a streamlight or surefire, but it isn't bad to the point where you can see large dark holes in the beam.

WAtch again and I think you'll see TWO light beams....the donut beam and a very small TIGHT beam that appeared in the lower left of the hole.

I also saw a LED beam, white with blue-ish tinting to it. I think it was the smaller hotspot. Good catch btw. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
