If its a nightscope, (emphasis on "night"), then why do they have shadows? Like on the second picture, the guy has a shadow underneath his helmet, like in daytime hours.

Let me guess - you live in/near a city?
Try going out somewhere DARK one day - the moon is bright enough to cast shadows even without NVG
We, as a society, have become so used to over lit, badly lit nights that most people have no idea what can be seen at night
When your standing under a streetlight, with other streetlights shining in your eyes, you never get your night vision, and the shadows actually appear DARKER - the contrast level is too high
You can read a newspaper under the full moon when its clear and DARK - 1/2 moon or more makes it fairly easy to move around, and yes, you get shadows
