Lots of folks seem to have mounted these with good results, but to appease your inner rambo its an important consideration.Originally Posted by Tack Driver
I have to say my PolyTac Streamlight non-weapon rated light has held up quite well to 7.62x39 and 5.56.
When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it--always.
As it's electronics are isolated from it's batteries, I believe that. I've have one mounted myself. It being "weapon mounted rated" or not really doesn't mean anything.

Just out of curiosity, why not? I wasn't planning to anyway but I'm just wondering the reasoning.
If you look down the battery tube from the tailcap (the only way you can since the heads are polymer welded on these models), you'll see the operating circuit board for the light. The batteries rest directly on it. Repeated pounding on the bottom of the board will damage it. Weapon lights, and handhelds more suitable to be mounted will have their batteries isolated from direct contact with the electronics by a bulkhead of sorts, and separate contact, or even a spring.

Please, nobody get the wrong idea. I have a couple of these lights.

That's interesting. Thanks for posting that. I hadn't planned on mounting it but that erases that thought from my mind.
You gonna bark all day little doggy or you gonna bite?
There are plenty of mall ninjas that have had these mounted on ARs since they came out, FWIW.

Mine will serve on an ar or ak.
