Sure its bright but can you make it blink SOS?

I would be more impressed by it's disorienting strobe mode

 

[Jason B.]

No strobe or SOS but I hear it has a supernove mode

Dam, now you made me want supernova mode on my Fenix

Might be a little scared to turn it on though......

I'm bright

got two para's, one early non-jimped finger choil version, and one black-blade 2008 version, both S30V, both definitely have only two washers. I've had them apart many times.

And it has a few billion year run time too

I took my Para apart and a whole bunch of washers fell out. I can't find all of them. Then, my camera broke.

 

[krazichinaman]

I have 2 on my d2 para. Ive taken it apart before.:thumbup:

 

[u812]

I had a Starmate once that had 6 on one side and 3 on the other.

Karma dude

 

[RyanMM]

Not that it needs confirming at this point but I've fully disassembled every part of my D2 Para and I'm sure that mine has two washers total. If a worker is assembling them by hand or loading washers into some industrial gadget then there's always room for inconsistency, however.

 

[Lycosa]

5.56---Dude, KARMA!

I saw 5.56's para in person today and inspected the washers, soon I will "borrow" it and take it apart to put an end to this question. As of now I am siding with him it does indeed have 4 might have something to do with different blade thickness requiring different shimming.
