PTS Syndicate B.E. MEYERS MAWL Red Laser

The PTS B.E. Meyers MAWL-PTS Red Laser is an officially licensed and fully functional replica of the well-known B.E. Meyers MAWL® system, developed for airsoft and training use. The unit combines a visible red 650 nm laser, an 850 nm infrared aiming dot and an 850 nm IR illuminator in a single compact aluminium housing.

Thanks to its OFF, VIS and IR modes, Short/Mid/Long Range settings and the included PTS Unity Tactical AXON™, the MAWL-PTS offers considerably more functionality than a simple laser module. The red version, with product code MW001490607, uses a 650 nm Class 2 visible laser with an output power of less than 1 mW and should not be confused with the separate green 520 nm version.

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 value accurate branding and realistic external accessories, this is a key difference compared to generic MAWL replicas without an official licence.

Red 650 nm visible laser

This particular model uses a red visible laser with a wavelength of 650 nm. PTS classifies this as Class 2 with a power output of less than 1 mW.

This clearly distinguishes it from the green version, which uses a 520 nm Class 3R laser. The supplier description ‘Green Laser 650 nm’, which is sometimes used, is technically incorrect: 650 nm lies within the red part of the visible spectrum and corresponds to this Red Laser version.

850 nm IR laser en IR-illuminator

In addition to the visible red laser, the MAWL-PTS features an 850 nm infrared aiming dot and a separate 850 nm IR illuminator. The IR laser is intended for use in conjunction with suitable night-vision equipment and is not normally visible to the naked eye.

PTS classifies the IR laser as Class 1 with a power output of less than 0.7 mW. Depending on the selected setting, it is possible to operate using only the IR laser, only 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 red laser, and IR activates the infrared functions.

This physical layout makes it possible to switch between functions quickly without having to navigate through digital menus. This is particularly useful when using the device in the dark or whilst wearing gloves.

Short, Mid en Long Range

In addition to the main modes, the MAWL-PTS features Short, Mid and Long Range settings. These settings utilise different combinations of power and functions, allowing the unit to be configured for a range of distances.

The MAWL concept has been specifically developed to keep operation simple and intuitive, so that functions remain quickly accessible without having to move the supporting hand out of position entirely.

Verstelbare en co-aligned richtfuncties

The visible laser, IR laser and IR illuminator are calibrated to work together within the system. Windage and elevation are adjustable, and the mechanical correction is specified as approximately 0.3 mrad per click.

This allows the MAWL-PTS to be adjusted to suit the replica being used and the desired aiming distance. The co-aligned design makes the system more practical when adjusting multiple aiming functions.

PTS Unity Tactical AXON™

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

This means there is no need to distribute several separate pressure pads across the handguard, and the controls remain more straightforward.

Multitasker Nano

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

Thanks to its compact size, it can easily be carried in an admin pouch, range bag or other gear pouch.

RAXIS, depending on the product batch

PTS also lists a PTS Unity Tactical RAXIS™ with certain recent MAWL-PTS Bundle Kits. However, this is supplied as a temporary bundle offer whilst stocks last.

The RAXIS should therefore not automatically be regarded as a guaranteed component of every MAWL-PTS package. Always check the specific product batch or the contents of the package.

CNC-machined aluminium housing

The housing is made from CNC-machined 6000-series aluminium and features a black finish. This gives the MAWL-PTS a robust construction and a high-quality appearance that complements modern tactical builds.

The unit measures approximately 127 × 71 × 51 mm and weighs around 260 grams without the battery and approximately 276 grams with the battery.

Powered by CR123A

The MAWL-PTS operates on 1x CR123A 3V battery. Any reference to “13V CR123A” is incorrect supplier information; a standard CR123A battery supplies 3 volts.

Please use high-quality batteries where possible, check the correct polarity when inserting them, and remove the battery if the unit is not going to be used for a prolonged period.

M1913 / Picatinny montage

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

When fitting, take into account other accessories such as optics, magnifiers, front sights, weapon lights and switches, so that sufficient rail space remains available.

Ergonomic MAWL design

One of the key features of the MAWL concept is the ergonomic 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 for the user to switch between functions without having to change their grip on the handguard each time.

Red Laser versus Green Laser

PTS manufactures the MAWL-PTS in both red and green laser versions. The Red Laser MW001490607 uses a 650 nm Class 2 laser with a power output of less than 1 mW, whilst the Green Laser MW001490307 uses a 520 nm Class 3R laser with a power output of less than 5 mW.

When comparing different product pages, it is therefore advisable to always check both the product code and the specified wavelength.

Using the IR functions

The infrared functions operate at 850 nm and are intended for use with equipment capable of detecting this wavelength. As IR is not normally visible to the naked eye, extra care must be taken when handling it.

Just because a beam is invisible does not mean that there is no laser radiation present. You should therefore only activate the IR functions when necessary and never deliberately aim them at the eyes of people or animals.

Laser safety

The red visible laser is Class 2, whilst the IR pointer is specified by PTS as Class 1. Even at these relatively low power levels, the unit must be handled with care.

Never deliberately point lasers at the eyes of people or animals, and do not point them at traffic, aircraft or in any other situations where glare or distraction could cause a hazard. In airsoft, additional field rules may also apply, with some organisations banning lasers entirely or only permitting certain power levels.

Practical insights

The MAWL-PTS is particularly appealing to players looking for more than just a decorative laser box. The combination of a functional red laser, IR pointer, IR illuminator, various range settings and external AXON control makes it particularly well-suited to modern milsim and night-game set-ups.

For someone who simply needs a basic, visible aiming point, the system is probably more elaborate than necessary. You should also bear the weight in mind: around 276 grams isn’t excessive in itself, but when combined with a scope, magnifier, weapon light and other accessories, the front end of a replica can become quite heavy.

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

The PTS B.E. Meyers MAWL-PTS Red 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 night-game set-ups with suitable night-vision equipment.

Users who value official B.E. Meyers markings, an aluminium construction and comprehensive Unity Tactical controls will also find this version to be a very comprehensive accessory.
