[muted nimbus]

I think that stuff is cooler to look at vs using. I'd rather use Cold War stuff because it's still slightly practical for modern day guns

[granite tartan]

@muted nimbus aware

[muted nimbus]

It is because Putin can't get enough conscripts

[final panther]

its because CNN said so?

[muted nimbus]

Imagine getting your news from the tv

I get mine from Russians, discord, and reddit/ 4chan schizo posts

[final panther]

reddit LMAO

[muted nimbus]

Imagine taking anything I say serious

[final panther]

i aint taking it serious, its just funny

[muted nimbus]

O

[snow scarab]

love how people dog on CNN but then will use fox as their main news source 💀

[final panther]

i believe in RT supremacy

[fickle bison]

Join telegram groups of ppl actually involved. Straight to the source. Of course they're still gonna propaganda regardless

Also reddit
It's a echo chamber in there

[muted nimbus]

Imagine using any main source media as "real" news

[muted nimbus]

Have you joined a cult yet?

[snow scarab]

exactly

like a third party checked the legitimacy of CNN and fox and fox was like 36% accurate and CNN was 52%. not good odds lmfao

in 2015*

[muted nimbus]

Would you like to join Twitter?

[fickle bison]

Only place on Reddit I look is local town subreddit, and combat footage

[muted nimbus]

Our lord and savior blue check marks

[fickle bison]

R/combatfootage is all Ukrainian footage and like 1 or 2 Russian footage.

I've seen Russian footage get taken down in a span of couple minutes since it uploades

[muted nimbus]

Both are trash regardless of real

Both push political agendas instead of non biased media

[twin pecan]

lmao

[muted nimbus]

True

[fickle bison]

But r/combatfootage is a good place to find middle east/south east Asia civil wars

[muted nimbus]

I love how Ukrainians torturing and committing war crimes is kosher but post Russians doing the same

Suddenly it's not okay lol

[fickle bison]

Go to the subreddit, sort by controversial, enjoy the cope and seeth

[muted nimbus]

Lol

[fickle bison]

Just want the war to end so we don't need to constantly get fed propaganda

[snow scarab]

bruh

i just the war to escalate and end in fireballs everywhere

iykyk

[fickle bison]

Cold war 2.0 but real

[muted nimbus]

You want the war to end for peace

I want the war to end for surplus

We are not the same

[fickle bison]

We are the same lol

Paying sanction priced good ain't fun

[twin pecan]

i never understood people going to watch people suffering online but when its your guy suffering you're now righteous about it

[twin pecan]

doesnt have to be that way

[muted nimbus]

It's not really enjoying it, it's more to learn from it

[fickle bison]

^ this

[twin pecan]

if you say so

[muted nimbus]

Learn so history doesn't repeat itself among others

[snow scarab]

no i want it to end for death

[fickle bison]

War is brutal for both sides, there are no winners

Can't wait for the Netflix ww1 show

[muted nimbus]

Have you never read the Art of War?

[alpine wasp]

noboru is your profile picture fucking pepe

[twin pecan]

omg

[fickle bison]

It's abstract art, take a closer look

[muted nimbus]

War

War never changes

[alpine wasp]

i saw that and i was piecing it together

[fickle bison]

Just trees, flower, bushes, and a pond

[fickle bison]

This war makes me want to get a drone license. Tiny commerical Drones seem pretty useful now

[muted nimbus]

Son

How have you not gotten a drone yet

I have a mini drone

That is also quiet

[snow scarab]

so far i have watched 3.5 hours out of 6 of my platoon sergeants fire fight from the times he wore a go pro. i don’t watch it for glee or for glorification, i watch it to understand

[fickle bison]

I have a stunt drone I used to use

Shit, I still watch the footage even if no one dies

[snow scarab]

although with ukraine i watch footage to see what not to do like wear steel body armor lmfaooo

[fickle bison]

This war also utilizes a lot of armor vehicles. Tankies wet dream

[snow scarab]

the amount of dumb shit i’ve seen some with landmines makes the combat engineer in me want to fucking scream

[muted nimbus]

Get this one, DJI Mini 2

It's about $500 with 2km range good battery life and camera quality

[fickle bison]

2km,seeesh

[muted nimbus]

Also has preprogrammed manuevers

So if you want Instagram, reddit, youtube high speed stuff

[fickle bison]

Do you this drone as well?

[muted nimbus]

Ye

[fickle bison]

How's the camera?

[muted nimbus]

I don't have a yard stick thingy that counts how far I walked, so I use the drone fly it out

Make it land say 500-600 yards

Put my target up

Walk back and shoot

[muted nimbus]

600 meters high

And quiet as a mouse

[fickle bison]

Nice! I'll put this into my Christmas wishlist

[muted nimbus]

"It's a surprise tool that will help us later"

[fickle bison]

Thanks for the recommendation

[muted nimbus]

Anytime

I can recommend smokes and civi legal flashbangs as well if you want

[fickle bison]

I don't need those yet, I'm still saving for some pvs14 gen 3

[muted nimbus]

Fair

[fickle bison]

Trynna get into nods but it's like 4k to get started

[muted nimbus]

Me and my friends also practice following each others cars lmao^

Observation techniques

[snow scarab]

look at police sales

some police stations will sell shit that was seized, had a buddy get a pvs14 with only 1 small blemish for like 900

gen 3 as well

[fickle bison]

Oh, no my local police is not that big

Small suburban town

[snow scarab]

his town population is 12000

[muted nimbus]

Wtf

[snow scarab]

yup

[muted nimbus]

Speaking of sad police stories

Or police

I knew a retired cop at my gun store, got a call about someone who inherited a gun and didn't know how to operate it

So he goes okay I'll go see what this is about

It was a Mak-90 with middle fun button

He was like fuck I wish I didn't see it

And the lady who inherited didn't even care she gave him it which of had to turn it in but they still had to

"inspect" to make sure it really was 3rd button

That's probably the only cool gun thing you get to do tbh as Leo

Let me inspect this confiscated machine gun

Need to make sure it works

Let me do more mags need to make sure it really works

[true elm]

Scav spotted?

[muted nimbus]

Antichrist*

[granite tartan]

You have suppressors?

[fickle bison]

Illegal in my state

Then dont get nods

Move out of state if you want nods

Because that muzzle flash is going to kill your nods

[ancient grail]

@valid lodge what's your experience with uf pros pants?

I might snag a pair

[snow scarab]

very nice

thick as fuck though

i like their tops as well

[echo jay]

uf pro's are very nise

I have a pair of striker hts that I got for funny bbwarz that have ended up becoming my work pants

[ancient grail]

How are they comparable to crye? Because im on the edge of either

[echo jay]

I don't have experience owning crye but from what I have heard they are of similar quality, crye maybe being a little nicer

[ancient grail]

Gracious for input

[coarse laurel]

crye is comfy as hell

they also usually hold up

for crye you know you are paying for quality

[whole vault]

Buy once crye once

[snow scarab]

any experience with the g4 pants? might get the all weather ones

[echo jay]

isnt it patagonia that tries to hide that they make combat gear

[snow scarab]

yes

[echo jay]

virtue signaling fucks

[granite tartan]

Cryes

For da drip

[valid lodge]

Ffs

I love how he asks me smth and every people in the vicinty adds their shit

Also meh Cryes have the flaw of having overt kneepads

Covert > Overt

[granite tartan]

Dingus you can run them internal

I don’t to protect the knees

My pads are scuffed don’t want to add extra abrasion

[valid lodge]

Crye doesn't have internal kneepads

You can remove the normal ones

[granite tartan]

You can run them internal

[valid lodge]

Looks scuffed then

[granite tartan]

Imagine goofy ahhh

[valid lodge]

Arktis made good covert Crye style ones with the C222s

And UF Pro Kneepads are fucking nice anyway

[granite tartan]

I like the crye g4 style lot

[timber fog]

Plus crye only comes in multicam, boring

[valid lodge]

-10000 IQ

[granite tartan]

No they don’t lmfao

[valid lodge]

Cryes come in RG, Khaki 400, Black, MC, MC Tropic, MC Arid and my fav AOR 1 and 2

[timber fog]

Note how everything you mentioned is either not a camo or a mc variation

Minus aor

Boring

[granite tartan]

Solid colors are fine

[timber fog]

They’re ok

[granite tartan]

Crye only makes clothes for people that murder people

[valid lodge]

Oh yeah forgor M81

[granite tartan]

M81 kinda chugs tho

Drippy as hell

[valid lodge]

Arktis still most drip

They literally do every major camo

And some of their own

[granite tartan]

Patagoobia brother

[valid lodge]

Contract meh

[timber fog]

Arktis 🔥🔥🔥

[valid lodge]

Gotta love MEP

[granite tartan]

Man those pants are so ugly lmao

[ancient grail]

[ancient grail]

Adam smasher I need to grind at the gym for that

[ancient grail]

[valid lodge]

[ancient grail]

I have to make the shoulder pads and thigh armor

[valid lodge]

and helm

[ancient grail]

The helmet

That's the greatest challenge

I tried looking for models but they almost don't exist so

My backup plan is a cvc helmet, paint it black, add the antennas with all the little details

This is probably the most challenging kit I've ever done

[valid lodge]

it's a weird CVC/ACH combo

[ancient grail]

I've done that combo before, however I feel as if the ach is too thin for what's pictured

[valid lodge]

it's a WIDE ACH

[valid lodge]

BRUH

IS THAT A FUCKING STAHLHELM

[ancient grail]

No

It's not really based off of anything

[valid lodge]

literal Stahlhelm front brim

that helmet will be ass

Trying to deal with some tech wear companies to get a uniform

[valid lodge]

[valid lodge]

ByteDance is the parent company of TikTok and is headquartered in Beijing

literally spyware due to chinese laws

[valid lodge]

that bastion and mordor tac exist too?

[ancient grail]

However I do feel as if MD is trying to get there way into the "airsoft" brands, since they are a new company

[ancient grail]

Don't start with bastion

I refuse any products from them

[valid lodge]

their repros are ass

actual garbage tier

[ancient grail]

[valid lodge]

Only thing decent about ratnik equipment is the camo

Drippy

[worthy heart]

Doesn't matter the performance of the equipment isn't great

[granite tartan]

I don’t comment on stuff I haven’t personally have experience with

And if I don’t have experience I’ll say it

[valid lodge]

Some pieces yes some pieces no, fuck the 6B47, 6B45 is a fucking great piece

[granite tartan]

That’s the worst

[valid lodge]

The 6B45 the worst?my man it's only fucking 8 kg with plates

[granite tartan]

And the helmet suspension on the helmet is awful with the gssh

[valid lodge]

Ye fuck the 6M2s

[worthy heart]

The helmets are fucking dog shit

[valid lodge]

[worthy heart]

Doesn't protect against much

UHMWPE goes hard

That’s what they all say against Russian stuff

[worthy heart]

[granite tartan]

Lmao

No it doesn’t

[valid lodge]

Currently the most used helmet material tho

Only Helmet company that uses something else and outperforms hard is Ulbrichts

[granite tartan]

Nij is a better strike face standard than sapi

[valid lodge]

NIJ ks ass

Dingus you don’t know what fit standards are do you

[valid lodge]

In term of execution yes, in theoretical terms hell fucking no

[worthy heart]

In general all around

[worthy heart]

Also found out something funny

Everyone at my old job has practically quite

[snow scarab]

had to take 3 days off

[worthy heart]

So the company is falling apart

[snow scarab]

[worthy heart]

And I'm laughing at it

Fuck my old job

Made me good money

But my god was the work bad

[granite tartan]

[granite tartan]

Fucking hell

I77 is closed

[snow scarab]

[granite tartan]

How the fuck do I get home

[worthy heart]

My grandfather left me money to get me through college

[snow scarab]

[snow scarab]

BEST PART ABOUT THIS THO??? stock pile of ammunition you can use for training at said private range

[snow scarab]

[worthy heart]

I love this time of year

[snow scarab]

you’d be surprised how many attractive women there are out here 😂

[worthy heart]

I'm ready for the next months coming to be straight bloody noses

[granite tartan]

Me and you have different standards

[snow scarab]

nah i’m talking chicks that make my buddy’s who are fuck boys not wanna be fuck boys anymore

[granite tartan]

Remember I’m from soflo

[worthy heart]

Betty at the trailer park doesnt count as attractive

[snow scarab]

isn’t that all old women?

like retirement homes

maybe we do have different standards

[worthy heart]

Hopefully the guy I'm shooting with today has made up his fucking mind about his AR build

[snow scarab]

lol

[granite tartan]

Uh

[snow scarab]

do what i do, drive people off the range with rapid fire

[worthy heart]

It's like pulling god dame teeth

[granite tartan]

Delray and fucking Miami?

[worthy heart]

Nonono I have been telling this guy to focus on his AR build to make it something nice

But he's like well I want this as a go to rifle

I want this

Have a go to setup first before starting on something else

[granite tartan]

7” ar 5.56 with a muzzle brake?

[worthy heart]

Nah like he's got a basic bitch 16 inch with a2 handguards

[snow scarab]

ew

at least buy the KAC rails

[worthy heart]

I'm trying to get him to go either get kac rails or get a ris 2

Cause they make models that go around the front sight

I'd do the conversion

[granite tartan]

Man I’m pissed

Fucking Highway closed

[worthy heart]

I am glad though he is interested in possibly doing a 11.5 build

[granite tartan]

11.5 is solid

[worthy heart]

He looks at mine a lot and then constantly asks me questions about it

Cause my builds solid

[snow scarab]

yeah those are rare af tho and always out of stock from DD

[worthy heart]

Down side with nice things atm

[snow scarab]

the normal RIS rails it seems are everywhere tho

[worthy heart]

They could be taking most of those for contracts

[snow scarab]

why would they though? with them switching to the geiselles now

[granite tartan]

Geissle sugs

[snow scarab]

lmao

we escape to here

also i like their triggers yeah yeah mim whatever but it’s nice

also their barrels

[granite tartan]

Their barrels kinda suck

[snow scarab]

do you even play tarkov regularly? lol

[granite tartan]

Uh

No

[snow scarab]

lol

[worthy heart]

Because block 2 is based

[severe beacon]

hi daddy😍

[worthy heart]

So here's my issue you selling it to a gun shop?

[snow scarab]

yes

but i wanna know what this guy wants to give me for it

might be 500

[worthy heart]

Yeah they gonna low ball the fuck out of you

Tbh shoot for 600

[snow scarab]

i mean it’s a PSA, gen 3, and has 1.5k through it

he said 450 was the highest he would do at the shop

[worthy heart]

Go with the highest bidder I guess

Check around. See what other people will offer you before selling

[snow scarab]

the guy got mad at me for “looking in the store when he is looking to purchase it” lol

[worthy heart]

Lol

[snow scarab]

i’m gonna pick up a b5 sopmod bravo while i’m here

[worthy heart]

Based

I need a B5 stock once I fill out my form one

[snow scarab]

apparently sba3s are extremely hard to find rn

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab they’re awful

Patiently waiting for my tax stamp is annoying

[snow scarab]

how so?

what would you recommend for a “brace” then

[granite tartan]

SBR

[snow scarab]

well yes but i would like to use it before i SBR it

[worthy heart]

If you want to put a brace on a rifle that you plan on SBRing

Sb3 or sb4

The sb3 is small but at times it can feel a little rubbery depending on how tight you keep it to your shoulder

Sb4 is a bit more ridged

[snow scarab]

rigid?

lol

[worthy heart]

Yes

Because if you sometimes press the brace up against your shoulder, sometimes it will kind of deformal out of the way

Cause it's rubber

It can be a little mushy

You can get by with it

It's better than most braces

[ancient grail]

That's a man fs

[snow scarab]

sounds about right

[gaunt pagoda]

Found some old Israel nvgs 1000-7000

[stuck hazel]

Just don’t use a brace

😐

Ayo I'm doing the video cosplay competition with a few of my friends. Any suggestions for the USEC kit before filming?

[fickle bison]

have a USEC patch so ppl know which PMC u r

also, BEAR supremacy

[silver wing]

w

[granite tartan]

If this is down material you compressing it reduces its effectiveness

[low fox]

What?

[granite tartan]

Do you know what Down is

[low fox]

Nope

Are you talking about the jacket?

[snow scarab]

he means the jacket

[low fox]

Man I don't want this thing to be effective right now it's still 70 degrees out

Closest thing I have to the USEC ingame wardrobe. Only that one boss dude has an L9 so I'm not gonna wear mine

[muted gate]

add blood squibs

[low fox]

Will do 👍 👍 👍

[snow scarab]

might buy some plates off a buddy simply to shoot them lol. vism 3+ plate made of UHMWPE

[stuck hazel]

[granite tartan]

Post kit?

[muted gate]

Anyone got experience with the DA Spitfire carrier?

[stuck hazel]

You can have the PC nothing more

Tho my arcy leaf assault shirt just rocked up

[elder hornet]

Fr, everyone start going on jogs

[granite tartan]

P mid

I wish I get the g4 vc

[snow scarab]

i kinda want to get the patagonia shit. from what i've heard its amazing

[low fox]

I run the hot weather set. Amazing heat disapation for being out in 90 degree weather. Feels like you're barely wearing anything

[snow scarab]

only thing is i can't find it anywhere. although i do really like the new massif hot weather ones. those are nice af

[low fox]

Plenty for sale on instagram if you care to follow a million gear accounts

The durability is great too. The pants survived getting dragged 50 yards with minimal damage in an environment that ripped my friends acu trousers to ribbons

[snow scarab]

idk what kind of acu trousers he was given but my summers have survived everything lol. multiple fields, trips to ranges, even sliding on concrete

[low fox]

yeah idk either tbh. surplus store special where every 3rd stich is removed or something

just came back the night after the game and they were barely on the dude anymore

[real sigil]

what?

that is absolutely not true

how effective down is is depending on how much filling and how much loft it has

you squishing it will not make it less effective

yes down will pack, but as soon as the weight is removed from it, it will just reloft

[real sigil]

lbt?

based

[stuck hazel]

It’s true

[stuck hazel]

🤓

[granite tartan]

It doesn’t reduce it permanently

[compact dagger]

TIL, having 2 body armor kits on you kinda restricts breathing

especially if the one below is 1 or 2 sizes smaller than you should have

[snow scarab]

why would anyone wear two body armor kits? tf

[compact dagger]

we had a small march thing, when one of the girls couldnt go anymore we took gear off of her and i volunteered to get her armor

since i could put it on me and others wouldnt have to carry it in their arms

[granite tartan]

It’s common

Actually most military vests

[snow scarab]

what? what fucking military?

sure as hell ain’t us

[granite tartan]

Yea lmao

[snow scarab]

he doesn’t mean kevlar and plates

he means two whole systems

[granite tartan]

Oh

What?

🧠

[snow scarab]

right here

[granite tartan]

Wear two plates double the stopping power

[snow scarab]

💀😂

if COD warzone operators can wear 3 front plates than so can i

[granite tartan]

You’re misunderstanding the point

[fickle bison]

Simp

Hopefully you got some puss after that

[compact dagger]

Not really, one girl seized up and doubt ill get some from the one i took armor from

since its either that or us going slower alltogether and then having to do pushups and other shit

1sec=10 reps

[muted nimbus]

Does anyone run core "ice plates"

Instead of hydration bladder?

[fickle bison]

used to, but it sucks when the water gets warm due to your body temp

[muted nimbus]

I figured, I was thinking about using one. Did you freeze yours or just fill it up with water?

[fickle bison]

froze mine, it would melt pretty fast

[muted nimbus]

Wya

I'm assuming mine would also melt fast due to my area during the summer lol

[fickle bison]

It would melt before noon during summer at Cali

7am - 11am and by then it's warm water

[muted nimbus]

Yikes

They should make thermos one so it keeps it cold like a "fridge version" vs ice/freezer. I think the fridge/thermos would be more effective vs freezer

Stay colder longer

[snow scarab]

anybody here used the TRMP crye yet?

[granite tartan]

What part of them do you want

[snow scarab]

wdym? i watched their video on it and looked into it and it seems perfect to throw on the SPC cause it matches mag pouches that i can use with multiple different rifles, especially if i get another AK, plus i love the elastic on the front cause i like to bring TQs to the range

[granite tartan]

TRMP crye is a system

[snow scarab]

i don't really care about the attachable panel

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab do you want the combat clothes?

[snow scarab]

from crye? not rn no. its not a priority

[granite tartan]

Show me what you’re talking about

[snow scarab]

im talking about the TRMP from haley

they have one specifically designed to mount onto crye

[granite tartan]

Oh ffs lmao, yeah they look good my buddy has one and likes it

[snow scarab]

lmfaooo

[granite tartan]

I just don’t like kydex on my plate carriers

[snow scarab]

might get it to throw on the SPC instead of the placard with the TACOs

[granite tartan]

Just get something avs

They’re pmuch designed for the Jpc

[muted gate]

Yall gear nerds want to help me build a kit lmao

[snow scarab]

absolutely

whats the purpose of the kit, things you need it to have, and whats your budget?

[muted gate]

im building it around a DA Spitfire

my usual kit is just web gear as i vibe with it but i want to treat myself

Gonna be rocking a VHS-2 and a Vis 100M1 as the guns

Just for general larpery

@snow scarab

[snow scarab]

whats the budget not including the plate carrier?

[muted gate]

there is no budget, midrange i guess

[snow scarab]

lets call it 500

[muted gate]

works for me

only stickle point i have is i need to be able to easily rock a shotgun off it

[snow scarab]

in terms of medical, which is a must in my books, blue force gear has some really good ones for anywhere from belt mounted to micro kits, but i recommend this one here personally, https://ads.midwayusa.com/product/102421033?pid=878151&utm_medium=shopping&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Camping - First Aid and Survival&utm_content=878151&gclid=Cj0KCQjw7KqZBhCBARIsAI-fTKKJqDMjsjO4Kxi3a6b4vblXNoF4GhoVXPmvqgUFSftnJV5KIOmSQSgaAjkWEALw_wcB

in terms of rocking a shotgun, we talking a small breacher?

[muted gate]

Nah, Riot 1200

i just need space for 12 gauge without swapping pouches

[snow scarab]

ah you mean like on the kit, gotcha. i thought you meant slung

[muted gate]

FYI this is going on a tall but thin guy, so space is limited on waist

[snow scarab]

exactly my build so thats perfect lol

also i would select which supply kit you want on that IFAK, but thats all preference. i recommend 4 TQs on you at all times when in kit/ at the range

[muted gate]

I have an ifak setup i like, just need a new pouch

[snow scarab]

then i would just buy a mil supr OCP pouch honestly

[muted gate]

carrier is rg green

or most of my pouches would transfer

[snow scarab]

https://www.tacticalassaultgearstore.com/molle-shotgun-shell-rack.html#tab-label-product.info.description shot gun shell rack that i found that isn't amazon

could throw that on the cummerbund

hellion takes normal PMAGs right?

or AR mags i guess

[muted gate]

ye

[snow scarab]

we looking for a lighter load or heavier load?

[muted gate]

im gonna be rocking this in comps

This is going to be the new comp setup, but itll be also my funny carrier

[snow scarab]

do you already have the carrier?

[muted gate]

yeah, cept nothing is transferring over cept medical and radios

so i thought id get some ideas from here

[snow scarab]

is the front panel attached via the buckles or sown on?

[muted gate]

https://us.directactiongear.com/spitfire-plate-carrier#RGR

[snow scarab]

im looking at it now, thats why im asking

do you have it buckled or the more crye like way?

[muted gate]

dont got it in my hands yet

[snow scarab]

ah

[muted gate]

getting the list together first

Only reason im married to the spitfire is due to having my hands on one before when someone lent me one

loved the bastard

[snow scarab]

mag pouches with some kind of retention built in is going to be your best friend. TACOs, ESSTACs, the haley stuff is good for retention as well. looks like the rig is velocity compatible which is amazing. personally i'd recommend the 5.56 hybrid, i have a buddy that has pushed one of those through the shit and you can automatically clip it into your system after removing your original front panel

if you don't want to spend that much on your front, then i'd recommend the ESSTACs or TACOs, but you'll have to mount another pouch for GP use

[muted gate]

im prolly gonna rock TACOs

[snow scarab]

i personally have the 3 pack, i love them but i might switch to a rig system just so i can have a little more modularity

[muted gate]

What i was thinking was 2 2s and 1 single for my chest

[snow scarab]

thats a good way to do it. i personally run 3 on the front (easier to lie down) 2 on non dominant side, one on belt non dominant side

[muted gate]

im looking at using both hands

so im gonna see if i can avoid anything ammo related on the side

The VHS requires being able to use either hand for reloading

[snow scarab]

for other general larping stuff i'd definitely say some sort of admin pouch on the top molle, obviously on the smaller side so it doesn't fuck with reloads, or a dangler. i'd recommend the ferro concepts or the shellback one

the mini dangler for ferro

[muted gate]

I was looking a ferro

[snow scarab]

can't go wrong with ferro honestly

[muted gate]

any recc for dump pouch?

[snow scarab]

that should honestly go on your belt if its not going to be whats directly under the plate

[muted gate]

fair

and reccs for a new belt

I have been rocking this same rigger for 9 years

tis pain

[snow scarab]

personally i don't have much experience with any belts, so i'd ask someone else. im not gonna BS you i don't know shit on that lol

[muted gate]

kek

[snow scarab]

for your ifak pouch i'd look at finding blue force pouch only or the HSG ones

[granite tartan]

I’d avoid belt mounted

Uh Fanny packs are a lot better cause you can rotate them

[snow scarab]

thats why i didn't recommend one

[granite tartan]

What some marsox uses

[granite tartan]

Ferro isn’t that great

[snow scarab]

tf yes it is

[muted gate]

I rocked my Ifak where my buttpack used to be

[granite tartan]

You constantly ask for reccomendations

And they say you don’t know what’s good

I’ve pulled stretching on the ferro belts

And the retention is garbage

[snow scarab]

in terms of danglers they are on top. its either the ferro micro that im getting or the haley one

[granite tartan]

I used to have piles of shit lmfao

[muted gate]

sidebar right quick

[muted gate]

anyone here rock 3points

[granite tartan]

No

[muted gate]

I love em, i just need a new one

Ive been rocking HK 3points on everything

[granite tartan]

Cool

[muted gate]

I need a new one

[granite tartan]

They’re alright, I’m not a fan of their stuff

[muted gate]

but i dont wanna buy a new HK

[granite tartan]

The Slingster is okay though

[granite tartan]

Why would you buy this lmfao

[muted gate]

2 reasons, 1 larp and 2 i had my hands on one a while back

loved it

[granite tartan]

It’s just a shitty jpc 2.0 clone

The shoulder straps are single stitched

[muted gate]

broski, im just saying. That is the carrier im going with for a couple reasons

i just needed pouches

[granite tartan]

Gear elitism

[muted gate]

dude, im killin 2 birds with a single stone

[granite tartan]

What’s two birds?

[muted gate]

I need it for the GROM larp

[granite tartan]

Enjoy it

[muted gate]

and I really loved it when i had my hands on one

plus i need a new carrier as mine is dogshit

i full sent it a wee bit too hard and busted my old carrier

[granite tartan]

I can see

[storm peak]

i never understood the minimalist plate carriers

like isnt the point of wearing body armor to protect you? why rid yourself of additional padding, and sometimes extra molle, for a few lbs?

[storm peak]

i just dont understand this type of body armor. im an advocator for side plates

[grand sparrow]

whats a great entry level concealed carry holster for a glock 17 i need one for classes and im trying to find what works well

[real sigil]

You can put those 4 velcro straps on an inside pocket, so they are hidden away

There's another flap underneath the velcro you may have not known about

[grand sparrow]

@obsidian wolf thank u kind sir

@obsidian wolf do the tier 1 concealment holsters fit with an rmr

@obsidian wolfyour knowledge will be duly noted fine sir

and no i do not

i was looking at the x300

but my wallet tells me no

so i was prob just gonna settle for tlr 1 hl

i just know not to get a o light

ive had one before when i used to airsoft

but i sold it long ago which i regret

shit im tryna know where u got the pants from

[granite tartan]

You can mount side plates to this

[granite tartan]

I use Tenicor personally

But I second the kore belt they fuck

[naive maple]

tenicor is nice

[cinder stream]

ccw a 17? sheesh i wish i could
