No, but I watched a hella good video by Tiberasaurus Rex on it:

I asked Loop old on the phone if it could be used as a weapons site. No. Then asked Leopold if they were going to market a site based upon that viewer and they said no also. Oh well. Rats!

I don't think so - unless there is a temperature difference you won't see anything.

I have a friend who works at Leupold that has one of these, and I played with it one evening. It was pretty cool. I put my hand on my friend's toyhauler, then could still see my hand print after I took my hand away. It was cool to look at houses and see where there was the most heat loss, how hot engines in various cars were, how well insulated people's clothing was, etc. I had a ton of fun playing with it. If I remember correctly, it actually had an option to display a site/reticle, though technically, I think they say they don't support using it as a sight, but (again, if IIRC) neither of us could think of a reason you couldn't mount it and sight it in, unless you strapped it to something with enough recoil/shock that you might damage it. I'll send this thread to him, and maybe if he get's the time, he can chime in with an unofficial response regarding his experience. : - )
