[valid lodge]

It's not shit, it worked for what it was used

[steady marsh]

Expand upon that for me, I feel the game is the best its ever been

[valid lodge]

GOST 2 is fucking bonkers

And a little stronter than NIJ 3A

[valid lodge]

My man it isn't fun if you do a quest don't hear shit and get swatted by a guy with full Class after 2 weeks

[steady marsh]

Fair, I mean in comparison to other helmets its shit

[valid lodge]

Unless you can paly every day it is not worth

[valid lodge]

To what

It has less BFD than any modern Aramid or UHMWPE helmet

Only weight it sucks

I loved how back in the day you didn't need a meta weapon to control your rifle

[steady marsh]

Yeah, despite the restrictions on flea and such, I feel like big boys already appeared within 2 weeks of wipe too

[steady marsh]

Any us helmet after 1990

[valid lodge]

Pasgt was meh

Frag rated at best

But can stop lighter pistol roubds

ACH is decent

ECH is good

IHPS is hot garbage

BFD is fucking fatal

LWH is based

[misty mango]

me still running the most overpriced dogshit guns just because they look cool

[valid lodge]

Need one for Fallujah kit

[valid lodge]

I use the 74U for a living

[misty mango]

based

build up a UB and its pretty pleasant

[steady marsh]

Good is an understatement or bastion irl with plate or fast slaap irl too

[valid lodge]

Airframe is ass too then

Ass defo

SLAAP is dumb

[steady marsh]

416 in a nutshell

[valid lodge]

XR and Arditi exist

[steady marsh]

slaap is dumb but altyn is good. K

[valid lodge]

Why should I use a slaap if the XR exists

Also it makes the helmet unbalanced

And I said the Altyn was good for what it was sued

[steady marsh]

That's a fair argument

[valid lodge]

Used

[misty mango]

why should i use a slaap if im not a gunner in an open top vehicle

[valid lodge]

[steady marsh]

By that argument so is any helmet that stops frag bc that's their intended job, not stopping rifle rounds specifically

[steady marsh]

Cqb entry, same reason chops exist

[valid lodge]

Are you like stupid

why was the altyn made?

CT

[steady marsh]

You are way too literal my friend

[valid lodge]

Why was it fased out? Heavy as shit

[misty mango]

its still in use aint it?

[valid lodge]

K6-3

Rarely

Saw it in 2021 tho

[misty mango]

theyre about the same thing

near enough

[valid lodge]

Different Visor Glass screws and No Comms

[steady marsh]

👍

[misty mango]

internal affairs and FSB still have it in their arsenal dont they

im sure i read up on that

[steady marsh]

Considering they still use makarovs it wouldn't surprise me

[valid lodge]

They don't use it maybe regional units

[valid lodge]

They don't lmao

Glocks, Pyas, SR1s

[steady marsh]

They absolutely do

[valid lodge]

Maybe Regionals do

Regionals are sometimes poor as shot

[steady marsh]

Correct, again too literal

[misty mango]

fsb because building entry and shit and internal affairs because theyre indoors more times than not and a probably up against a pistol normally

[steady marsh]

Makarov funny, my buddies was a officers from Bulgaria

Love me boy USO

Mfw Kiver RSP is 900 bucks

but ok I already bought a Glad so yeah...

[steady marsh]

Pics?

[crystal iron]

altyn was what GOST lvl 2 right

[steady marsh]

I think @valid lodge said it was close to or just above 3A i honestly forget what the gost equivalent is rn

[valid lodge]

NIJ 3A is .44

GOST 2 is 7.62x25 Steel core

[rugged venture]

Mmmm Tokarev

[valid lodge]

Less power but more penetrational power

Literally fucks

[rugged venture]

7.62x25 Tokarev is so fun to shoot

[steady marsh]

It goes p o p when 9mm goes pow

[rugged venture]

The rso asked a lot of questions about it when my buddy brought his to the range

Same about his K31 Swiss

That thing is also awesome to shoot

[crystal iron]

wonder if they will ever make a helmet capable of handling high power rifle bullets

[rugged venture]

The helmet can

Your head won’t

[steady marsh]

Ech can, @rugged venture is correct probably

[crystal iron]

the neck is the problem more than the head lol

[steady marsh]

Probably bastion too

[rugged venture]

I mean all that force would turn your brain into a mush, but also that

You’d just be fucked regardless lmao

[steady marsh]

Yee. Or unconscious, but potentially still alive. There are a few accounts of helmets saving heads and people coming back from the hit

Definitely doesn't sound like a guarantee tho..

[crystal iron]

To be honest. Helmets are mostly just to prtect your head from shrapnel and rocochets

[steady marsh]

Exactly

[valid lodge]

Vulkan 5:

[rugged venture]

That must suck after getting tapped in the cranium

[valid lodge]

[steady marsh]

Lmao 🤣

[rugged venture]

I still want to get a helmet

But I’m still trying to find which one I want

Altyn for the shits and giggles

[steady marsh]

I really wish the airframe was an endgame helmet again, it looks so damn sick

[valid lodge]

[valid lodge]

[oblique sorrel]

[valid lodge]

Sold mine for a plated midgen but 6 days later putler did the funny

[valid lodge]

No shit

[rugged venture]

Just be helmetless, have a skull so dense that it’ll ricochet off

[steady marsh]

Same. Qc is really spotty on them if you intend to use it tho

[valid lodge]

Mine already is

[oblique sorrel]

tried it, have a little forehead scar, hurt like a mofo

[rugged venture]

I won’t lol, it’ll just sit next to my Minolta and my soon to be nikon f body

[steady marsh]

every scav this wipe

[oblique sorrel]

wouldn't recommend

[rugged venture]

Oh and my two yashicas

[crystal iron]

LHsZ-5 does not stop rifle rounds though its one of the best armored helmets out there if you arent worried about the weight

[rugged venture]

Cameras are cool, you should spend the money you’d spend on a 6B47 and spend it on cameras

[oblique sorrel]

plus can't mount nods or light to forehead

[left flax]

I've got one 👉👈

[oblique sorrel]

I have a camera

I’m running sordin supreme basics under my helmet…

[snow scarab]

ah ok. even then that’s not that bad, i run razors lol

[stuck hazel]

in all honesty its not a problem, i have adjusted the padding on my helmet accordingly to accommodate the strap. comfortable enough, although ive had issues with the arms of my eyepro digging into my head.

[snow scarab]

get flexible ones like basic issue eye pro

howd you get that btw I want one

[steady marsh]

I made it 100% from scratch unfortunately

[gilded steeple]

WOW

That is extremely impressive

if you were to commission one made the same way, how much would you charge.

And is it heavy to wear

[burnt tulip]

SKS my beloved

[deft lily]

ez roubles

[low fox]

holy shit

[wicked lynx]

Rate the drip

[barren finch]

10/10

[low fox]

Also a felony lol

[gilded steeple]

why is that a felony

[low fox]

Manufacturing/ selling armor requires a license, at least in U.S. They're also restricted items. You can own one but you're double-fucked if you wear one and get caught doing literally anything. Automatic felony\

[cinder stream]

Thats state by state, wearing body armor is not a felony either

unless in a fucked state like cali, hawaii or illnois

[low fox]

Didn't say it was, only when worn in commision of a crime

then the crime is automatically tried at the federal level

[twin pecan]

sell it as airsoft

or cosplay

big whoop

[fickle bison]

imagine following laws that prevents you from getting protection 😂

[twin pecan]

just dont advertise it as armor

[night rock]

What license does it require?

[worthy heart]

You dumb?

[low fox]

I fairly retract my statements; upon further research, things have changed and regulation efforts fell through

[worthy heart]

There has never been regulations on the manufacturing

No need to do so

[night rock]

Body armor only has regulations in like

two states

[worthy heart]

Which is for ownership

Not sale

[night rock]

You can't have them shipped in Connecticut

[low fox]

Or NY

[worthy heart]

NY banned the wrong armor

Only target kevlar if I remember right

Which makes steel and ceramics fine

[fickle bison]

NY only banned soft armor

[low fox]

Lol so there's a giant loophole

[worthy heart]

It's not a loop hole

Its just neglect

[night rock]

you also can't buy them if you're a felon

[worthy heart]

Still nothing about manufacturing licensing

Almost like ceramic, steel, and fabric are not controlled items

[granite tartan]

Kit and gear

[pulsar tusk]

As far as i remember, it was illegal to sell armor for protection, so i dont think you were wrong tbh

[low fox]

It's good to own, but wearing it in the commission of any crime is a big uh oh

[pulsar tusk]

Theyre trying to make buying armor illegal and you have to register it

LMAO

Also what ever happened with the assault weapon ban

[whole vault]

Passed the house but will never pass the senate

And even if it did pass the senate the supreme court would blow that shit out of the water since it bans weapons in common use

[misty mesa]

Something is wrong with this pic

[gilded steeple]

I would be using it for airsoft, I would want it made out of plastic anyway, I'm not intending to use it for self defense.

Would that still require a license for someone to make an etsy-quality facemask for airsoft cosplay?

after all that discussion, @steady marsh how much for a commission / would you consider commissioning one? lol I'd pay for shipping too (this is not an immediate request, just the near future)

idc if its made out of 3printed parts or metal, but if its made out of 3d printed parts it'd need to be 100% infill

[snow scarab]

lmfaoooo

[whole vault]

Any recommendations on a dump pouch that isn't condor / amazon-tier? I have a carbine course coming up and I need one

[snow scarab]

condor dump pouch actually isn't half bad, but blue force gear has some, shellback has one iirc, rothco

dump pouches aren't that sophisticated so amazon is decent

[steady marsh]

That is completely false

you can't say its not true can you ?

[barren finch]

man i was just trying to be nice

[compact dagger]

truth>being nice

[barren finch]

well it was my opinion

[compact dagger]

if he would make it from scrap or even use real stuff then it could go for like 7-8/10

[barren finch]

ithink its a 10/10

idc what you think it should be

[compact dagger]

you just said you were just trying to be nice tho

so it wasnt an honest opinion, just you being nice

[barren finch]

yea cause you're purposely trying to start a argument

idfk why ur being so aggresive

idk how stating a fact about knockoff shit is starting an argument but k

Didn’t you get the memo?

I agree it is chinesium

It looks shitty

Just cause its licensed doesnt mean it looks good

[timber fog]

You guys are acting like this is a kit he’s trying to pass off as legit lol chill out

It really isn’t that deep

If you wanna critique aesthetics then whatever

[pulsar tusk]

No, its just dude spent $400 on cheap armor

Even $500

[timber fog]

It isn’t armor, it’s toys

[pulsar tusk]

Yeah thats what i meant

[timber fog]

But who cares? It’s not like he spent your money

[pulsar tusk]

Im only agreeing with the fact it looks cheap

I didnt make any other point

[low fox]

Bro could have gotten RMA lvl 4 armor for $200 and and its not garbage

[compact dagger]

anything from greyshop/tarkovstore is shit, and by knockoff i meant non genuine rig, just made in chinese babushkas basement

[pulsar tusk]

I see the same stuff on wish and ebay

Bro couldve got a REAL set of russian armor

Maybe not the maska… but the vest yeah

Nah if he ruined a real 6B13 and especially a Maska I would give him a -10

[valid lodge]

Fucking ruining a 6B13 is a waste

They are getting rarer by the day

The thing is literally 22 years old

[compact dagger]

For the 6b you can just white tape it on

also soon there will be a surplus of 6b13s

[valid lodge]

There won't

[compact dagger]

when that shit ends in unnamed country

only problem is they wont be in mint condition

[valid lodge]

6B13s still rare as shit

[compact dagger]

might have some ketchup on

[valid lodge]

The 6B43/45 is literally the replacement of the 13

2009 it was ordered as a sucessor as the 13 didn't meet MOD standards

/MODs wishes

13s are dried up af

23s and 45s could get a surp waive

You can maybe snatch some 6B12s too from DNR

[compact dagger]

well the other unnamed country is scraping the bottom of the barrel

like they are using fucking mosins

If the guy buys real gear and customize it for tarkov cosplay, probably also gets shit on.
He can't win

[compact dagger]

idk who would shit on him for customizing it for cosplay if it was real

so he gets shit on only if he buys chinesium

he wouldnt if he customized real or made one himself

if he DIYd it fully then i'd be impressed, since it takes a ton more of skill than most of EFT players have

[valid lodge]

I would

Cuz it would be ruined

Wear your kit kings

[pulsar tusk]

Dude has such a problem with steel plates he’ll do anything to show how bad they are besides actually showing how bad they are

Have fun with your ceramic

[granite tartan]

I thought it was common knowledge

[pulsar tusk]

Right, because “SPALL IT SPALLS SPALLS” and HEAVY!!! Is your only argument

[muted gate]

Spall is a major concern especally when we are talking about coatings that fail after a single shot

while also being that ceramics of equal rating are 7-80% lighter

[pulsar tusk]

Anti spall can last more rounds than ceramic plates are rated for

Complete cope

[muted gate]

and if we include a spall bag for each plate you are getting a cost point that is worse than an RMA plate

[pulsar tusk]

How about this, i just dont like ceramic or trust it to save my life!

[muted gate]

that is patently false, spall coatings are notorious in their failure rates

then you are woefully ignorant on how modern body armor works

[pulsar tusk]

Id rather wear steel than break all my ribs with ceramic

[pulsar tusk]

I dont care and i never cared about ceramic being better

[muted gate]

then dont ardently defend steels

Steel is inherently worse

[pulsar tusk]

Wow the more expensive plate is better

Mind blowing

[muted gate]

thats the thing, to make a steel work well you need to spend as much as a mid tier ceramic

which again, at that point buy the ceramic

[pulsar tusk]

I have lvl 4 steel i got for $90 with anti spall

2 plates

[muted gate]

what brand there broski so i can laugh

@worthy heart Steel argument

have fun

[pulsar tusk]

I dont know i dont stare at my armor

[pulsar tusk]

Dude i dont want to argue about this again

This is the 3rd time

[muted gate]

so you got armor, and forgot the brand?

[pulsar tusk]

This server is full of cermitard elitists, of course id get attacked by everyone

the most important part of your kit besides your rifle you forgot its brand

doesnt work

[worthy heart]

^

[pulsar tusk]

Cope

[worthy heart]

Doesn't work 100 percent

[muted gate]

Wait these plates are from 08

AND YOU ARE GOING OFF ABOUT ANTI SPALL

HAHAHAHA

[pulsar tusk]

Theres videos of anti spall taking 6+ 5.56

[muted gate]

dude you have some plastidipped plates

[pulsar tusk]

Anti spall sleeves exist

[muted gate]

that thing takes a hit you are getting a new filling

[muted gate]

see "to make a steel work well you need to spend as much as a mid tier ceramic"

[pulsar tusk]

Right atleast i wont have broken ribs

I dont want ceramic period

Stop trying to convince me

[muted gate]

you think having steels will stop a broken rib

[pulsar tusk]

Better than ceramic

[alpine wasp]

ceramic is quite heavy too lol

[muted gate]

jesus christ

[alpine wasp]

i mean

i own ceramic

[muted gate]

its 60-80% lighter

depends on the plate tho

[worthy heart]

Why get anit spawl sleeves when you can get ceramics

[alpine wasp]

lvl III+ is sort of hefty

[pulsar tusk]

I dont want ceramic

[alpine wasp]

nothing too serious

[worthy heart]

Because?

[pulsar tusk]

It sucks?

Overpriced?

[muted gate]

you are talking an extra 2 pounds on a steel 3+

[worthy heart]

It doesn't

And its cheap

[muted gate]

per plate

[alpine wasp]

bah

[pulsar tusk]

Id rather wear kevlar than ceramic, atleast it covers more

[worthy heart]

Got my rma for 200 bucks for the set

[muted gate]

thats 4 pounds of kit that i can dump

[worthy heart]

Level 4

Workout in that shit all the time

[alpine wasp]

in december at night when its late im gonna do cardio in my plate carrier and get shot

[pulsar tusk]

How many hits is it rated for

[worthy heart]

A lot more than you think

[pulsar tusk]

Total larper

[muted gate]

if i get hit more than once i have an issue

[pulsar tusk]

Good answer

[worthy heart]

I don't larp just work out

[pulsar tusk]

Right because getting shot only happens once then you say hit and walk away

[worthy heart]

Use it for pull ups squats and crunches

[muted gate]

no, its more the fact that if i get hit in the chest twice i have more questions

being "Why the fuck did i get hit at all"

[alpine wasp]

this could be us but you dont believe in the collapse of society

[pulsar tusk]

Do people genuinely believe theyre wearing their plate carrier for any other situation than when SHTF

[muted gate]

also RMA lvl4s are rated for 3 iirc

[pulsar tusk]

kevlar is for any other situation

Not plate larpers

[worthy heart]

I just work out in mine cause most weighted vests are plate carriers

[alpine wasp]

go buy smersh and die

nerd

[muted gate]

If i have my kit on, im doing 1 of 3 things

[pulsar tusk]

I get called an idiot for not wanting to run a $2000 rig to go to walmart but would rather wear kevlar

[muted gate]

Comp, Reenactments, or cardio

[pulsar tusk]

What reenactment involves a plate carrier

[worthy heart]

Kevlar isn't worth wearing

[pulsar tusk]

You are genuinely dense

[worthy heart]

It isn't

[muted nimbus]

Yes??? Have seen the world in 2020/2021???

[muted gate]

1950-onward

[pulsar tusk]

Complete schizo

[pulsar tusk]

Since when are there modern reenactments

[muted gate]

its 2022

[worthy heart]

Most kevlar is cheap or outdated

[alpine wasp]

if you wanna run a rig go ahead dont come crawling back when you get shattered by .45 to the chest

[muted nimbus]

I know and it's calmed down

[worthy heart]

And isn't rated for what most people own

[pulsar tusk]

believes that armor expires

[muted gate]

it is more of a guideline

[alpine wasp]

goober

[worthy heart]

Never said expired just out dated

[muted gate]

i use it do to me diving in comps enough

[muted nimbus]

Ah yes I'm the schizo not the people looting and rioting

[worthy heart]

Like I got a helmet that I'm tempted to turn into a high cut

It's old

I know it will work

[pulsar tusk]

You dont need to wear a plate carrier to go outside you live in a suburban neighborhood

[worthy heart]

But it's outdated

[muted gate]

Doing a hicut converson fucks its strength

[muted nimbus]

I don't but okay

[pulsar tusk]

Dont tell me youre trying to ruin a PASGT

[worthy heart]

Yep

[pulsar tusk]

How much did you pay for it

[worthy heart]

Cause I don't care

[worthy heart]

30 bucks

[pulsar tusk]

Ok atleast you didn’t overpay

[muted gate]

us

overpay

[worthy heart]

Of course I didn't overpay

[muted gate]

[pulsar tusk]

Fine ruin it but i dont see why youd wanna remove protection from the armor so you can fit your $400 cope headphones in it

[muted nimbus]

Imagine not running a ballastic helmet>

[muted gate]

consider

[worthy heart]

Kevlar isn't worth running tbh

Again most people own something that will punch through it

[muted nimbus]

They make rifle rated helmets^

[muted gate]

my galil with 193

[pulsar tusk]

kevlar isnt worth running
talks about his helmet made of kevlar

[worthy heart]

Or something that will break ribs

[muted nimbus]

Where pic

[worthy heart]

I'm fully aware if I get hit in the head I'm dead

Or suffering from head trauma

[pulsar tusk]

Rated for pistol caliber at 100yd

Helmets arent for bullets anyway theyre for shrapnel

[muted gate]

deleted

[snow scarab]

nah, they are certified lvl 4

[worthy heart]

Do you think some hoodlum isn't gonna pen through with his 7.5 ar gat

[muted gate]

no i mean 3 hits

[snow scarab]

oh

gotcha

[pulsar tusk]

Theres videos of dudes getting hit in afghan in the head and surviving so i mean gives ya some hope

[snow scarab]

300 here. might get their side plates too

[worthy heart]

From more than 100 yards with shitty 7.62

Which most are skimmed over

[muted gate]

im am shocked how good they are for the price point

[muted nimbus]

https://youtu.be/lc-ZCGI5z5c

[pulsar tusk]

One can pray

[muted nimbus]

Consider the following

[snow scarab]

my uncle has told me of guys taking 7.62x54r to the helmet and it taking it

[worthy heart]

Most will die

[snow scarab]

tho they were glancing blows

[worthy heart]

Skimmed

[snow scarab]

and still knocked them out/gave concussions

[worthy heart]

Yet people go OMG

IT STOPPED

[muted nimbus]

What about his 4inch draco?

[snow scarab]

but that is a sacrifice i’m willing to make

[muted nimbus]

If he can hit anything

[muted gate]

https://youtu.be/Piwgv_MiPWo?t=124

[worthy heart]

I'm willing to die I'd rather not be a potato

[snow scarab]

it’s cause they don’t bullshit. they tell you it’s heavier, cheaper materials, but it does its job and it does it damn well

[worthy heart]

Rma best plates

[snow scarab]

like you said, aren’t they rated for 3 .30-06 ap?

[worthy heart]

Rma will stop

[muted gate]

they are rated for 1

[snow scarab]

they only state 1

[muted gate]

ive seen it stop 3 atleast once

[muted nimbus]

People do not care about back deformation it's so stupid

[worthy heart]

Fr

Most will deform

[muted nimbus]

You will become a potato

[muted gate]

look at the deformation on the lvl 4s

its nonexistant

[worthy heart]

Potato

[muted nimbus]

North Korea's song about potatoes lol

[worthy heart]

Almost like ceramic destroys bullets

Causes them to break up

[muted gate]

deformation is a thing

just not on their lvl 4

lvl 3s have it

[worthy heart]

Rma is just a company I will simp for

[muted gate]

anyway i have to work

[worthy heart]

Oh also I will be simping for new suppressors now a silencer shop dealer

[snow scarab]

literally the only complaint i have about the single curve is the weight but at that price point, 8 pounds is amazingly light

[muted nimbus]

I'll be honest I simp for Primary Arms but only scopes not red dots

[worthy heart]

Work out

I do pull ups in mine

[snow scarab]

not in that way lol

[muted nimbus]

I like the bdc and different reticles instead of the basic bitch reticle

[worthy heart]

3 set

[snow scarab]

i do push-ups in my kit

[worthy heart]

10 pullups each

3 different hand positions

[muted nimbus]

If you can't walk 5miles+ in kit

You are doing something wrong

[echo jay]

Go swimming in your kit with plates in

😈

[worthy heart]

[worthy heart]

Tbh I will

Watch me bitch

[echo jay]

Seb if ur gonna kill urself I want you to kill me before you do it

[worthy heart]

I'm a strong swimmer

I used to swim a lot

Could have joined the swim team if I wanted

[echo jay]

Yeah used to

[worthy heart]

Did diving too

[muted nimbus]

You know I was watching a James Yeager video. He had told everyone to unload their gun and drop it. Some people hesitated because "it's their baby/safe queen". He said "get a better gun to defend you then" lol

[worthy heart]

I've been getting over that with my ar

[muted nimbus]

I was thinking most Instagram larpers would cry about dropping their gun or getting it dirty

[worthy heart]

I've got some scratches on my eotech and reciever

[muted gate]

this class sucks

[worthy heart]

Once you see that shit starts to wear off of safe queen

[muted gate]

i want to die

[worthy heart]

Watch me tomorrow I'll drop mine down a small rocky hill

Don't plan to clean my rifle till I hit 1k

HOPEFULLY

I get my suppressor

By then

[muted nimbus]

I don't really clean my AK, just make sure it's lubed up every couple of months or so lol

If I shoot lacquered ammo, I clean the bolt head since it can jam it

[worthy heart]

Wanna hear something funny

[muted nimbus]

Sure

[worthy heart]

I melted the coat on Tula ammo in my ar15 chamber

I had to beat the casing out

Cause I got my AR so hot the other day

It melted the casing into my chamber

The coating on the casing

[muted nimbus]

That's why I don't really buy lacquered ammo for my AKs anymore either unless that's all they got

I saw some meltdowns too on YouTube most failed prematurely due to lacquered vs non lacquered ammo

[worthy heart]

Aks never had an issue with it no matter how hot I get it

First time having that with my ar

[muted nimbus]

They can, and I've seen it with AKs and SKS

The purple shit freezes up the firing pins

[worthy heart]

Like I took my AR and my 74 out

[muted nimbus]

Gunks it up

[worthy heart]

Both same temp

I could not touch the handguard

But my AR failed

[muted nimbus]

Get the hotpocket

[worthy heart]

74 kept going strong

[muted nimbus]

I just got one and love it

[worthy heart]

[worthy heart]

Also realized i still got dirt on my 74

[ancient grail]

Steel is garbage

I will not elaborate

[pulsar tusk]

Blah blah

[worthy heart]

And I also made fun of weak mother
Fuckers today

[muted nimbus]

Have you seen pics of my 74 recently?

[worthy heart]

Noooo

Show

Now

Probably should go back to the weapons chat for this

[muted gate]

4 Thousand
This server is full of cermitard elitists, of course id get attacked by everyone

will never not be funny

[pulsar tusk]

“I will not elaborate, except when i want to…”

[worthy heart]

Note affordable ceramics exist

Rma

Cough cough

[ancient grail]

I will never elaborate, you are simply wrong

[worthy heart]

Good ceramics king of armor

[pulsar tusk]

Cope

[ancient grail]

I dont need to

[pulsar tusk]

Yeah tarkov nerds know best

Right

[worthy heart]

He doesn't play tarkov

Nor do most people in this chat

[ancient grail]

I dont play tarkov

I just cosplay as a bear

[pulsar tusk]

Why are you here then, just to larp

[ancient grail]

I have neve touched tarkov in my life

[worthy heart]

I don't larp either

Just work out

[pulsar tusk]

“I work out ill bench u ill beat u up ill kill u”

[worthy heart]

At most I'll wear a rig to get to my shooting spot

[muted nimbus]

It's gear, I can't live without it lol

[muted gate]

Dude, i have other passions besides videogames

[worthy heart]

Cause I hike to my shooting spot

[muted gate]

We all played at one point but stick around for the gun chat

[pulsar tusk]

You are a figment of my imagination you have what i tell you

[worthy heart]

Fuck ranges

I don't trust people

[muted nimbus]

^

[pulsar tusk]

Atleast we can agree on one thing

[muted nimbus]

Not even that

[pulsar tusk]

I dont trust anyone near me with a gun

[worthy heart]

At most I'll wear a rig to make 1 trip to my spot

[muted nimbus]

Ranges usually have dumb people

[ancient grail]

Indoor ranges

Indoor ranges are a different type of scary

[pulsar tusk]

Indoor ranges when they clean up the 15th suicide of the day

[muted nimbus]

If I had a $1 for everytime I've been flagged shooting or working at a range/gun store

[worthy heart]

Which might go shooting again cause I still have ammo to blow

[ancient grail]

Indoor ranges are like steel plates

Horrifying

[worthy heart]

Trying to get rid of my crappy cheap shit

[pulsar tusk]

Bro had to sneak that in

[muted nimbus]

Even outdoor public places are terrible

Bro

There's all this space

[ancient grail]

Your opinion is wrong and has been proven wrong

[muted nimbus]

And you have to set up 50 yards next to me?

[pulsar tusk]

Cope!

[worthy heart]

You know what post set up

[ancient grail]

I dont need to cope with my government issued plates

[muted nimbus]

Outdoor public ranges are more sketch in my experience

[pulsar tusk]

“I served ill beat u up ill bench u ill kill u bro”

[timber fog]

“Nah bro spalling’s not that bad bro trust me bro”

[ancient grail]

"Nah its cheaper dw"

[timber fog]

“It’s just cope bro just hit it with some anti-spall bro”

[pulsar tusk]

Millions of copers

[muted nimbus]

Spalling>

[ancient grail]

Nah, genuine question

@pulsar tusk what makes steel good

[timber fog]

I’m not coping, I love catching metal shrapnel to my chest

[ancient grail]

I want your opinion

[timber fog]

I’m pro-spall

[worthy heart]

I will hike in this

[muted nimbus]

Is someone really simping for steel plates right now?

[worthy heart]

Fucking partizan

[ancient grail]

Nah let him speak

[worthy heart]

I love the partizan rig

[ancient grail]

I'm curious to see how he justifies steel

[worthy heart]

Shits comfy

[muted nimbus]

SSO?

[ancient grail]

@pulsar tusk justify steel plates

[worthy heart]

Came before the sso but practically same thing

[muted nimbus]

But who is it made by nerd

[worthy heart]

Idk it's a decent repro by grey shop

[ancient grail]

It's by bastion then

[worthy heart]

Haven't ripped it yet in the year I've had it

[ancient grail]

If its a gc repro

[worthy heart]

Yeah

I like it

It's comfy good on my back

[muted nimbus]

I was just about to say

[ancient grail]

Personally

[worthy heart]

Can't say I have any issues with it besides 2 pouches on the bag

[ancient grail]

I enjoy my ars arma a18 goliath

[muted nimbus]

Smersh aka poor person's Battle jacket

👀

[ancient grail]

Personally I enjoy my almost iotv sized plate carrier

[worthy heart]

I prefer rigs over plate carriers just because the weight distributions better

[snow scarab]

i love my banshee

especially with the rigid cummerbund

[worthy heart]

Though imma get a new vest

[timber fog]

Got a couple wartech thangs, I second this

[worthy heart]

Get used to wearing a vest cause later this year imma probably be issued one

[muted nimbus]

I've noticed people like chads myself who prefer chest rigs over pc actually workout/wear their kit more than pc wearers.

[snow scarab]

that’s the a18 ain’t it?

[snow scarab]

wait you joining the military?

[worthy heart]

Game warden

[snow scarab]

[timber fog]

Hey, I bought my car from the department of fish and game

[muted nimbus]

[ancient grail]

The goliath specifically

[worthy heart]

We issue level 3III to our game wardens

[ancient grail]

As far as I know im thr only one in the us with one

[worthy heart]

Idk why tbh

[snow scarab]

[ancient grail]

Makes my plate carrier extra special

[snow scarab]

that’s dope af

[muted nimbus]

I'm buying my own plates and hopefully joining bp soon

[ancient grail]

I've asked around to see who might have one

No one so far

[worthy heart]

Dude If I become a game warden I get a boat ATV truck

Gear

And I'm just out to help people

[snow scarab]

[worthy heart]

[timber fog]

Just don’t get shot by any dumbasses

[muted nimbus]

Based???

[worthy heart]

I know right

Most of what I hear I'm going to be doing is either helping people or looking for people

Cause people go missing a lot

[muted nimbus]

Fuck poachers tho and people who take shit not in season

[timber fog]

Straight up

[snow scarab]

ong

[worthy heart]

I don't hunt but know a lot of hunters

[muted nimbus]

I've seen people get arrested during crabbing/lobster season lmao

Bruh had the tiniest lobster like really

[worthy heart]

[muted nimbus]

Good luck to you stalker and watch out for yourself

[muted nimbus]

Stealing pots?

[timber fog]

Privyet stalker

[worthy heart]

[worthy heart]

Cutting markets

[muted nimbus]

Cutting markets?

[worthy heart]

You know the floating thing

Can't remember the name of them

[timber fog]

Bobbers?

[worthy heart]

Been drinking tonight

[worthy heart]

Yeah I guess that's another name for them

[muted nimbus]

[worthy heart]

Bois

Buoys

[timber fog]

Been a long ass time since I fished so odds are I’m wrong too

Ah

[worthy heart]

Eh

Pretty much the floaty shit you see on boats and on traps

[cerulean kayak]

[timber fog]

They’re always in season if you like hookers

[cerulean kayak]

[timber fog]

[muted nimbus]

Easier to catch on land too lol

[timber fog]

“It’s like they just want you to catch them!”

[timber fog]

Also dw I could tell lmao

[muted nimbus]

I know this isn't a hunting/fishing chat but it's also kinda cringe when people keep shellfish with eggs or some people shooting a mom with babies unless they're an invasive species****. It's like do you not want to get more in the future?

Thanks for the Ted talk

[muted nimbus]

Lol

[timber fog]

Humans are a cruel species, either too dumb or too greedy to care

I wish it weren’t the case

[muted nimbus]

Ie poaching on someone else land and littering ^

Trashing a spot

Honestly if someone poaches on my land fine but at least have the decency to clean your shit up

Our fighter fires from around the corner, but gets hit by a rifle, which partially stops the bullet, but does not completely save - the wreckage falls into the body armor and arm.

2:12 left in the vid guy gets hit into his steel plate and has to apply a TQ

[valid lodge]

Steel is shot at transfering energy so you will be even more likely to hurt yourself

[pulsar tusk]

Never stop crying

[pulsar tusk]

Ceramic isnt?

[valid lodge]

The UHMWPE Backer on a Ceramic Plate transfers the energy around the whole plate

You really don't know anything bout armor but still make arguments

Ceramics are also way lighter

For steel to get a effective ratinf you really have to put on some mass

As long as you don't buy Budget ceramics with Alumina as the main component weight isn't a problem

[pulsar tusk]

Ceramic is also thicker

I dont want to argue about this bullshit again

Its the same shit over and over

[valid lodge]

How tf is that a problem of your Platebag is designed for it

My man you are literally the msot braindead, coping and seething troglodyte i know

[pulsar tusk]

Ceramic shelf life is also a 3rd of steels

I dont believe in armor expiring though

[valid lodge]

Ceramics don't expire

If you have it lyong around and don't whack it everywhere they don't expire

Kevlar expires

Also looses it's ballistic capabilites when wet

[worthy heart]

Nah I stopped collecting gear

[pulsar tusk]

Videos of 20 year old kevlar getting shot 6 times in the same place

[worthy heart]

Shit piles up rather have something id use

[valid lodge]

It looses some consostency

Read up on that shit

You really are a fucking troglodyte

[pulsar tusk]

Ceramic fractures are so small you wouldnt notice it without an xray

Have fun with that

[valid lodge]

Wouldn't make any difference tho

Ceramic plates that aren't monolithic are literally multiple tiles

Can you please just stfu you're making it worse, for you

[pulsar tusk]

Bro just cause you love ceramic so much

[valid lodge]

Ah

Nah

[pulsar tusk]

What does that even mean

What was your point

That steel is bad

Ok good for you

[valid lodge]

I'm just not ret*rded enough to buy steel for my personal carriers

[valid lodge]

My man I have spent a decent amount of time studying armor, I prefer ceramic for a fucking reason

[muted nimbus]

Mood and same but it's sooo cool well WW1/2

[muted nimbus]

Has it ever interested you tho

I'm not trying to sell you some just wondering what people think

[worthy heart]

Nah not really

[pulsar tusk]

Good for you, i prefer steel, so whats it to you

[pulsar tusk]

I collect tons of ww1-2 stuff i love it

[worthy heart]

Kinda gave up on that stuff after 1 guy ruined it for me
