For *tactical* purposes you want a reliable high output flashlight of no less than 200 lumens. I've got a 200 lumen Surefire mounted on my AK (example below, but I have my SF mounted further back over the Tango Down grip). Of course the model in the OP is dual output, but in the middle of a storm I want to burn the retinas of any bad actor.

I subscribe to Magpul's meme - 'unfair advantage'. Or as a long gone GSUSer put in his sig, "If you find yourself in a fair fight then your tactics suck."

Agreed. You need lots of lumens for night shooting. When it comes to survival, you don't want to be shooting in the dark.
