Streamlight Scorpion HL flashlight for a weapon light?

[jeff43]

Does anybody use one of these on a shotgun or AR ? Will they hold up under recoil?Streamlight couldn’t tell me for sure.

I wouldn't be opposed to putting it on a long gun.  I would however suggest looking at the protac rail mount or HLX series of streamlights for a fairly low price proven weapon light.

Ok, I just had this laying around and thought I’d use it

Im sure it would not be an issue.  Magpul makes pretty affordable ring mounts

I ordered a mount from fenix I’m gonna try. I’ll see if the light will hold up or not. I don’t know what the difference is in all the lights, springs and bulbs I guess.

plastic/rubber body may be an issue depending on where you mount it and how much heat it's going to be subjected to.

They used to have an aluminum body under that rubber sleeve. We use to mount them on compound bows to shoot coyotes at night, no issues with the lights failing.
