PTS Syndicate B.E. MEYERS - MAWL-PTS Green Laser

The PTS B.E. Meyers MAWL-PTS Green Laser is an officially licensed and fully functional replica of the well-known B.E. Meyers MAWL® system. The unit combines a visible green 520 nm laser, an 850 nm infrared aiming dot and an 850 nm IR illuminator in a single compact aluminium housing.

The MAWL-PTS is designed for fast and intuitive operation. With OFF, VIS and IR modes, Short/Mid/Long Range settings, adjustable windage and elevation, and an included PTS Unity Tactical AXON™, this unit offers considerably more functionality than a simple decorative laser box. This Green Laser version has product code MW001490307 and uses a Class 3R visible laser with a power output of less than 5 mW.

Officially licensed by B.E. Meyers

The MAWL-PTS is manufactured by PTS Syndicate under an official licence from B.E. Meyers & Co., Inc.. As a result, the unit features authentic B.E. Meyers markings and a design that closely follows the original MAWL concept.

For players and collectors who place great importance on realistic markings and accurate external details, this is a key difference compared to generic MAWL replicas. It remains, of course, an airsoft/training replica and should not be confused with an original professional B.E. Meyers MAWL.

Green 520 nm visible laser

This model features a visible green laser with a wavelength of 520 nm. PTS classifies the laser as Class 3R with a power output of less than 5 mW. Green light is generally more conspicuous to the human eye than red light at a comparable power class, meaning that the laser spot can be clearly visible under suitable conditions.

The Green Laser version should not be confused with the separate Red Laser version. The red version uses a 650 nm Class 2 laser with a power output of less than 1 mW and has the product code MW001490607.

850 nm IR laser en IR-illuminator

In addition to the green visible laser, the MAWL-PTS features an 850 nm infrared aiming dot and a separate 850 nm IR illuminator. These functions are intended for use with suitable night-vision equipment and are not normally visible to the naked eye.

PTS classifies the IR pointer as Class 1 with a power output of less than 0.7 mW. Depending on the selected setting, you can use just the IR pointer, just the IR illuminator, or both functions simultaneously.

OFF, VIS and IR

The main selector switch has three distinct positions: OFF, VIS and IR. OFF switches the unit off, VIS activates the visible green laser, and IR activates the infrared functions.

The physical selector allows you to switch functions quickly without having to navigate through digital menus. This is particularly useful when using the device in the dark, under time pressure or whilst wearing gloves.

Short, Mid en Long Range

The MAWL-PTS also features Short, Mid and Long Range settings. Within these modes, various combinations of functions and power levels are available, allowing the unit to be adapted to a range of operating distances.

A key aspect of the MAWL concept is that the different settings must also be recognisable by feel. This means that the user does not need to keep looking at the controls whilst using the device.

Verstelbare en co-aligned richtfuncties

The visible laser, IR pointer and IR illumination are all synchronised within the system. Windage and elevation can be adjusted mechanically so that the aiming point can be set to the replica being used.

The adjustment is specified as approximately 0.3 mrad per click. The pointer divergence is approximately 0.5 mrad. This allows the unit to be adjusted relatively accurately to the desired viewing distance.

PTS Unity Tactical AXON™

The set comes with a PTS Unity Tactical AXON™ remote switch. The AXON allows you to control two compatible devices from a single compact control point, for example the MAWL-PTS and a weapon light.

This means there is no need to spread several separate pressure pads across the handguard. This can be particularly helpful on compact, modern builds in keeping the controls neat and ergonomic.

Multitasker Nano

A Multitasker Nano is also included. This compact tool is designed for minor adjustments to optics and similar accessories and can be used to carry out the relevant adjustments to the MAWL-PTS.

Thanks to its compact size, the tool can easily be carried in an admin pouch, range bag or other kit without adding any significant extra bulk.

RAXIS, depending on the product batch

PTS also includes a PTS Unity Tactical RAXIS™ in the current official MAWL-PTS Bundle Kit. This brings the position of the MAWL closer to the central axis of the M1913 rail and within the receiver’s profile.

However, PTS explicitly states that the RAXIS is a limited-time bundle item that is only included whilst stocks last. We therefore advise against automatically assuming that a RAXIS is included without checking the specific packaging. ptssyndicate.com

CNC-machined aluminium housing

The housing is made from CNC-machined 6000-series aluminium and features a black finish. As a result, the MAWL-PTS feels considerably more robust than basic plastic laser units and fits in well with high-quality tactical builds.

The unit measures approximately 127 × 71 × 51 mm. The stated weight is approximately 260 grams without the battery and approximately 276 grams including the battery.

Powered by a single CR123A battery

The MAWL-PTS uses 1x CR123A 3V battery. The reference to “13V CR123A” sometimes found in distribution data is incorrect; a standard CR123A delivers approximately 3 volts.

Please use high-quality batteries where possible, check the correct polarity when fitting them, and remove the battery if the unit is to be stored for a prolonged period. According to the available product specifications, the battery is not supplied as standard.

M1913 / Picatinny montage

The MAWL-PTS is designed for mounting on an M1913 / Picatinny rail. This means the unit can be used on many modern airsoft platforms, such as M4, AR15, HK416 and MCX-style replicas.

When determining the mounting position, take into account other accessories such as a scope, magnifier, front sight, weapon light and remote switches. A good position should be both secure and easily accessible from the normal supporting hand position.

Ergonomic MAWL design

One of the key features of the MAWL concept is the positioning of the controls. Unlike traditional high-mounted laser boxes, the controls are positioned so that they are closer to the natural position of the supporting hand.

This makes it easier to operate various functions without having to change the way you grip the handguard. The modular design also makes the system suitable for a range of left- and right-handed configurations.

Green Laser versus Red Laser

PTS manufactures two main MAWL-PTS models. The Green Laser MW001490307 uses a 520 nm Class 3R visible laser with a power output of less than 5 mW. The Red Laser MW001490607, on the other hand, uses a 650 nm Class 2 laser with a power output of less than 1 mW.

The difference is therefore not solely the visible colour. The laser class and maximum output power also differ between the two versions. You should therefore always check which version is permitted for the intended application and location.

Using the IR functions

The IR pointer and illuminator operate at 850 nm and are designed for use with suitable night-vision equipment. These functions are not normally visible to the naked eye.

That is precisely why it is important to exercise caution. An infrared laser beam may be present without the user being able to see it directly. You should therefore activate the functions deliberately and never point them at the eyes of people or animals.

Laser safety

The green visible laser is Class 3R and, according to PTS, has a power output of less than 5 mW. This means that it must be handled with care. Always avoid direct exposure of the eyes to the laser beam and do not point the unit towards traffic, aircraft or in any other situations where glare or distraction could cause a hazard.

In addition, airsoft fields, events and local regulations may impose restrictions on the use of visible or infrared lasers. You should therefore always check in advance whether the use of this laser unit is permitted at the location in question.

Practical insights

The MAWL-PTS Green Laser is particularly appealing to players who actually want to make use of multiple functions. The combination of a visible laser, IR pointer, IR illuminator, Short/Mid/Long Range settings and AXON control makes it particularly well-suited to modern milsim, tactical and night-game set-ups.

For anyone looking solely for a decorative laser sight or a simple, visible aiming point, the MAWL-PTS is probably more feature-rich than necessary. You should also bear in mind that it weighs around 276 grams including the battery; when combined with an optic, magnifier and weapon light, the front end of a replica can become quite cluttered and heavy.

Who is the PTS B.E. Meyers MAWL-PTS Green Laser suitable for?

The PTS B.E. Meyers MAWL-PTS Green Laser is particularly suitable for airsoft players and collectors looking for a high-quality, officially licensed laser/IR unit. It is an excellent fit for modern M4, AR15, HK416 and MCX builds, milsim loadouts and set-ups that utilise suitable night-vision equipment.

Users who value official B.E. Meyers markings, a CNC-machined aluminium construction, a highly visible green laser and comprehensive Unity Tactical controls will also find this version to be a particularly comprehensive accessory.
