irl-gear

[verbal karma]

Nobody has ever said you have to actually believe the things are protective or that you’re pretending to be military

[barren kettle]

if you arent larping then what are you doing

[misty mango]

dress up

[stuck hazel]

playing airshit?

[left flax]

erp

[stuck hazel]

isnt that what roleplaying is

[left flax]

Don't need all that gear unless you are trying to larp as something

[verbal karma]

This literally describes airsoft and wearing combat gear while playing airsoft

[verbal karma]

No. There’s a difference between roleplay and being a schitzo

[stuck hazel]

eh

if you want me to die on this hill, so be it

i guess i larp

fair play

[verbal karma]

I feel like in your head you have this negative connotation towards LARP

[stuck hazel]

not really, as long as its not cringe larp its fine with me dude

[left flax]

Knew it

[verbal karma]

But what you aren’t realizing is that this is a discord server for a Russian first person shooter

Nobody here is special or high speed or cool

[left flax]

Horror game*

[verbal karma]

LARPing isn’t inherently cringe

What is cringe is insisting you aren’t LARPing when you dress up in tactical gear and run around shooting BBs at other people

Dressing up in tactical gear is cool

[stuck hazel]

whats cringe is disagreeing that i roleplay as a soldier?

[verbal karma]

Running around shooting BBs at people is fun and cool

[left flax]

I think he is just in the closet about it

[stuck hazel]

because thats what i was doing

[verbal karma]

Nobody said you RP as a soldier

But you’re RPing

[stuck hazel]

yes they did

[verbal karma]

Okay cool you RP as a contractor or guerrilla fighter

[stuck hazel]

i guess i do dude

[verbal karma]

Okay

That’s cool

It’s fun

I do it too sometimes

[left flax]

Omg lar**r

[stuck hazel]

i dont need to be convinced larping is OK, i just needed to be convinced that "i larp"

[verbal karma]

Sometimes I dress up in tactical gear and run around shooting real guns at pieces of paper while some weirdo stands behind me with a timer

[stuck hazel]

sometimes i wonder what i did to make me seem that stupid i needed to be talked to like a child

[verbal karma]

You insisted that you aren’t a LARPer

[stuck hazel]

i did, and i had a point

[verbal karma]

You’d be a lot cooler and I’d respect you more if you just admitted that you are

[stuck hazel]

until you clarified the definiton of what airsoft "is" in relation to larp

[verbal karma]

Like when I go to tactical competitions in kit I’m also LARPing

[barren kettle]

this is sad 💀

[stuck hazel]

its true, even i can see it

[stuck hazel]

.

discussion over we dont need the "look its ok to be a larper, EVEN I LARP"

[verbal karma]

I do this shit because it’s fun

[stuck hazel]

although i do appreciate the fact you go this far to defend the larpers

it is, you're correct

[verbal karma]

I would like to go to a large scale MSW type event

[stuck hazel]

i dont blame you

[verbal karma]

It’s really hard to practice small unit tactics without an event like that

[left flax]

Nods are fun as fuck

[verbal karma]

Meow

[misty mango]

the cat ears lmao

[fluid plover]

Is that you

[verbal karma]

Damn I used to be fat as hell lol

[misty mango]

amazing

[verbal karma]

Yea we did the whole comp both wearing ears

[misty mango]

love it

also what length is that rail

looks long

but im also thinking its 16"

[coarse laurel]

lol kinda late but whats wrong with larping

[verbal karma]

It’s a 16” barrel BCM MCMR upper with a 15” handguard

[verbal karma]

Nothing

[coarse laurel]

its a free country do what you want, you got motherfuckers running around in fursuits

[misty mango]

ive got a 16" rail on da airshid gun and it just dont seem that long
probably just perspective

[coarse laurel]

why can't you run around in tacticool gear

[misty mango]

best way to put it

[coarse laurel]

im literally saying this as someone who larps on the weekends and actually does the real thing on the weekdays lol

[verbal karma]

Bruh I be out here deadlifting in a shark suit do what you want

[misty mango]

you larp because you find it good for training
i larp because im autistic as shit

[coarse laurel]

i larp because stockholm syndrome

[misty mango]

we are not the same

[verbal karma]

Meow I have a machinegun

I sent this pic to HK on Instagram and they never responded

[coarse laurel]

lol people ask me why i only wear multicam/ocp

[verbal karma]

Because it’s cheap

[misty mango]

they probably blocked you

[snow scarab]

easily accessible

[coarse laurel]

well the army just happens to give me some cool gear once in awhile i might as well use it

[snow scarab]

exactly

[verbal karma]

Nah they responded to me asking them how they fee about the Turks beating them to the punch on a civilian MP5 pistol

[misty mango]

i literally wear MTP because its everywhere in the uk
not because im boring
i have a multicam carrier because it looks drippy ontop of hoodies

[coarse laurel]

getting RFI'd crye

[snow scarab]

lucky bitch

[coarse laurel]

they gave me the pants and top

[verbal karma]

You mean Army Customs

Not quite the same as Crye G3s

[coarse laurel]

no fool, we got legit crye

[verbal karma]

But yea still cool to get decent pants for free

Yea ACs

Crye makes the ACs

I have an AC top

Does it say G3 or Army custom?

[coarse laurel]

G3, this came out of unit funding

supply put in a huge order for em

at the end of the fiscal year

downside is we didnt get the combat tops but we got the field shirts

[verbal karma]

Ah

[coarse laurel]

fuckin annoying because we had to get shit sewn in

[verbal karma]

G3 combat pants or G3 field pants?

[coarse laurel]

combat pants field top

it doesnt make sense but crye is crye

[verbal karma]

What size you wear

Gimme

[coarse laurel]

its def a combat pants because it has the inserts for the kneepads

[snow scarab]

me over here using massif

[coarse laurel]

and it came with 2 pairs of pads

dude massif isnt bad

[verbal karma]

Field pants have pad inserts

[coarse laurel]

i wish i could wear the flight ocp's

[granite tartan]

Crye combat cut go hard?

[coarse laurel]

those are comfy as fuck

[verbal karma]

They just don’t have partially external knee caps

They have a fully internal pad pocket

[coarse laurel]

even the fuelers wear those drippy massif FR uniforms

[verbal karma]

Well yea

The fuelers need FR more than most

Because fuel

[coarse laurel]

you act like they actually do shit lol

[verbal karma]

I assume they fuel

[coarse laurel]

meanwhile be me fueling my own vics out of the tanker

me being a fuckin medic who got sent to fuel handlers course

because no fuelers

lmfao

[verbal karma]

If only I didn’t have a preexisting condition

I’d love to be a tanker

All autistic and shit

Drivin around in a big metal box of farts and BO

[coarse laurel]

it aint that great. my last unit was an armored unit i was also a senior company medic for the bastards. its miserable

[verbal karma]

I have a buddy who’s a tanker

[coarse laurel]

theres a reason why 19K's are bleeding personnel

ive earned my tanker boots and buckle too

also wear a tanker ballcap at work

Mmm

It has its moments

[snow scarab]

do they make pants or just the tops?

and yes the tops are comfy af

[coarse laurel]

they make em i believe

[snow scarab]

i gotta find some

i love the combat tops, especially the new ones

with the thick af elbows

[stuck hazel]

i love how i definitely said i had a problem with larping

[coarse laurel]

and why would that be

technically if you are wearing a plate carrier and playing airsoft thats literally larping

its just fuckin dress up, its not that deep

[stuck hazel]

Sarcasm dude

I didn’t

Look up and I said that I don’t have a problem with Larp as long as it’s not cringe shit or Z Larp

[coarse laurel]

what constitutes as cringe

and by Z you mean like rus for shit?

sometimes we forget its also a tarkov server so russophiles are everywhere

[snow scarab]

specifically the people who feel the need to “update” their larp with in country russian forces shit

[coarse laurel]

lol, im convinced some of those fuckers are actual russians

which would be funny because their asses shoulda been conscripted by now

or they pussed out and ran away

[snow scarab]

😂

[stuck hazel]

Rusfor larper who feel the need to support the invasion of ukraine

Rusfor Larp is fine, Z Larp isn’t

[stuck hazel]

Idk dude it’s a spectrum

Most stuff isn’t

Within the “””tactical””” community, airshit bundled in that

I’m not sure as to what to think of the blokes who dress up as templars and fight each other with swords

Are furrys larpers?

Idfk I can just imagine that shit goes sideways pretty quick in regards to role playing

[pallid depot]

irl Halloween event

[misty mango]

technically
yes

[stuck hazel]

My point:

[low mulch]

anyone pretending to be a soldier

[coarse laurel]

Lol you guys are thinking too deeply into it, as a soldier idc if people are larping as soldiers as long as it’s not within the realm of stolen valor shit

[low mulch]

as a infantry veteran i find it cringe when ppl play “milsim” pretending they are soldiers

[coarse laurel]

What country

[low mulch]

israel

[coarse laurel]

I see

I just see no point in gate keeping it

[low mulch]

fair enough

i got no problem with cod style airsoft (thats fun i used to do that till i was 15) but this milsim stuff got ppl thinking they are doing what soldiers are

[timber fog]

Lots of training value in it

[low mulch]

no

[timber fog]

Prove it

Almost every veteran that’s tried it says otherwise

[low mulch]

u train differently in the military and u dont do what u want, u do what the chain of command tells you

[misty mango]

there is an element of training value in it
teamwork, movement, weapon manipulation and a bunch of other shit

also a good way to find out what kit works for you

[low mulch]

u dont decide ur kit in the military

[misty mango]

sure training is different in mil

but

[timber fog]

I didn’t realize chain of command is the sole aspect of combat

[misty mango]

in a civ/LEO situation

its good

[timber fog]

That part

[coarse laurel]

LOL maybe for you guys

[low mulch]

1% of infantry work as actual combat

[misty mango]

depends on what youre in

some allow privately owned gear

[coarse laurel]

We fuckin wear whatever we want half the time in terms of kit,

[low mulch]

where did u serve that they allow this

[coarse laurel]

Formation is mixed with crye, eagle industries, KDH Magnums, spiritus

US

[misty mango]

the US

[coarse laurel]

And I’m still serving lol

[low mulch]

i was in the 900th brigade 93rd reconnaissance battalion

[timber fog]

And not everyone wants to subject themselves to being a member of the military to have training for hypothetical combat experiences, but they still want to be prepared

[low mulch]

we were all issued marom dolphin vests and m4s and same helmets for everyone

[coarse laurel]

I’m a combat medic, former cavalry scout, currently serving with 3rd brigade of 1st Armored Div in El Paso, in 2 weeks though I’ll be a cadre in Ranger School in Fort Benning

If we are throwing around backgrounds here

[timber fog]

Conscription moment

[low mulch]

i moved to israel to serve...

[naive maple]

for years you've been able to buy your own gear as long as the color is correct

[timber fog]

I’m sorry to hear that

[low mulch]

here not

[naive maple]

israeli army stuck in the 80s with their gear and philosophy

[coarse laurel]

Lol for us it’s multicam or OCP’s but for chest rigs and shit coyote tan is acceptable

[low mulch]

check the gear again before spewing crap out of ur mouth

[naive maple]

i wonder how it would do in a peer conflict as opposed to bulldozing houses and tear gassing kids

[misty mango]

i swear ive seen IDF infantry rocking owned stuff

[coarse laurel]

Fun fact I wear a K19 Agilite to work sometimes

[misty mango]

purple m16a1's

[coarse laurel]

2.0 tho

[misty mango]

i wish i got the 3.0

[low mulch]

infantry doesnt touch m16s

[misty mango]

might just jury rig it a lil
take the snips to the QD on the sides

make them removable

currently i just run some shitty airsoft JPC repro cummerbund

(i aint the greatest fan of the regular one)

[low mulch]

purple m16

[misty mango]

lemme just grab that pic of cannoli

[low mulch]

canolli servered more then a decade ago

[misty mango]

point still stands

[low mulch]

look at the pic i sent, purple m16 eh?

[timber fog]

Looks purple to me

[misty mango]

not an m16 but still purple

[coarse laurel]

@misty mango would it be assholeish to respond with that question earlier about which country I’m serving with “your benefactor”

Lmao

[low mulch]

thats more then a decade ago, we dont use those vests, guns or helmets

[misty mango]

looks like the same gun to me

just with a flat top

[low mulch]

ur blind

cant tell the dif between a m4's barrel and car 15

[misty mango]

14.5 looks awfully similar to 13

especially given angles and perspective

[coarse laurel]

Work stuff and off work stuff

[low mulch]

do u know why we bulldoze houses?

[upper drum]

nice

[low mulch]

how heavy is that rig?

[upper gust]

Btw why I own all this stuff is because I own a military surplus

[coarse laurel]

Not as much as you think, less than 30lbs my load is spread evenly also because of the belt

[low mulch]

nice

[empty sorrel]

I thought you had 3811s...

It should be a bit lighter than that

Unless you're also counting the weight of your pistol

[coarse laurel]

No, also keep in mind I’m also a medic so I carry my MARCH stuff with me on my person

[empty sorrel]

Fair enough, was confused since my setup with side plates as well and six megs weighs less than that

*mags

[snow scarab]

which one do you use more outside of work? the jpc i’m guessing?

[granite tartan]

Bully all agilite owners

Remember to bring your guns out in public during Halloween

[ember python]

@left flax it’s the best way to get free candy

[left flax]

Sometimes they'll even give you money and their phone

[ember python]

And they’re always polite, it’s crazy

[left flax]

only works in the US sadly

[granite tartan]

The fuck

[ember python]

What’s even crazier is 3 different people came up to me and asked what level I was and how many wipes I’ve played

[empty sorrel]

Get some plates in that bitch

[ember python]

there are, its a carrier from Spartan Armor, the Swimmers cut

[empty sorrel]

Looks empty from that angle

Also please tell me you didn't buy steel

[ember python]

nah ceramics baby gurrllll

but i do own steel also when i first got the carrier

the cermaics from Spartan fit the swimmer cut carriers

[empty sorrel]

Personally for the outfit I would have gone for the LBT 6094 slick carrier

They were on sale for $100 for a long time

totally not biased btw

[ember python]

yea i have a buddy who runs LBT style, i got my carrier just before The Rona so i only paid like $350 for a promo bundle. then 2 moths later Rona hit and prices went crazy. been thinking about upgrading to maybe a Crye Precision

spiritus?

[empty sorrel]

I bought mine used for $200

LBT 6094

They are built like tanks so buying used is nbd

SOF-issue plates

[ember python]

i have heard that from friends also, we train so i beleive them

[empty sorrel]

Now I wanna buy one in AoR1 for the drip, but that shits way inflated

[ember python]

drip is always more expensive sigh

[dense pollen]

All 3-d printed

[idle helm]

mans even got the kidney pads

[empty sorrel]

You mean side plates?

[coarse laurel]

JPC mostly unless it’s a long field problem

[low fox]

Anyone know of a holster that can hold a g34 and a g19?

[naive maple]

any g34 holster..

[errant ether]

Pros of spending a shit ton of money on a kit is a permenant Halloween costume

-BDU Plate carrier
-pigs
-razer ear pro
-idk belt name
-Hailey strategies hat 💪

[granite tartan]

L

[snow scarab]

bro some kid i know bought an FCPC and i’m like fuck yeah a good carrier to get everything started in a real kit, and everything else he is getting is ducking amazon shit

[cold ledge]

Probably blown all his money buying the base for it lol

[granite tartan]

Fcpc fuuuck

[snow scarab]

it’s an amazing plate carrier

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab amazing?

[snow scarab]

yeah

i’ve literally never heard someone complain

[cold ledge]

I own one and it’s solid 🤷‍♂️

[storm peak]

Like razer gaming headset?

Speaking of gear, can somebody send me some good 3 mag pouches/holsters for kit? I'm trying to slim my kit down a bit

[errant ether]

Walkeman razer ear pro

[storm peak]

Thought about doing the placard setup but I don't know if I can trust velcro

[snow scarab]

esstac

[storm peak]

I mean those look nice but the avs doesn't have buckles like that

[snow scarab]

what?

esstac is direct molle

[sour iron]

Is the whole you have to get a tq pouch that covers the tq a necessity?

I've seen so many people flip over exposed tourniquets

[storm peak]

description of the mag pouch says it needs buckles for other plate carrier not of Esstac brand

[granite tartan]

For what?

And what are you using now?

[snow scarab]

huh

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab the weakness of the fcpc is the cummerbund design

Mainly it ngl

Or be based and buy an avs

[snow scarab]

how so?

[granite tartan]

The tegris tabs bunch up in the front

and so do the tabs in the rear

And if you use the QD cummerbund 3ac buckle it sags really hard

[snow scarab]

if you weigh it down yeah

[granite tartan]

Like

[snow scarab]

its a minimalist carrier

[granite tartan]

the FCPC?

[snow scarab]

yes

[granite tartan]

You can still have a based design for certain aspects. I wouldnt call the FCPC a minimalist carrier at all

Especially when its got tegris components and a pouch

[snow scarab]

it literally is a lightweight carrier

thats what it calls itself

[granite tartan]

This is coping

[cold ledge]

Sounds like a cummerbund issue rather than the plate carrier? I use elastic ones and i haven’t noticed any issues at all like that

[granite tartan]

What I just said

I also don’t care for the shoulder straps

The cobra buckle is replaceable tho

[prisma lintel]

Ur replaceable

[granite tartan]

Ever

[empty sorrel]

Needs more armor

[storm peak]

You need to worry about folding your clothes not armor

[empty sorrel]

Old photo

Aim down your sights with the mask down

Waste of money unless you're swat or something

[empty sorrel]

Bro this whole fucking kid is a waste of money let's be honest here

*kit

I actually am planning on getting a bufferless upper, so that I can use the low stocks

Or possibly the aric BCG once that comes out

[prisma lintel]

I'm just starting out my kit right now tbh.

Pretty expensive to get everything

Just got my comms coming in the mail right now, gunna put it on my carrier soon

[empty sorrel]

Milsurp is the way to go man

[whole vault]

"Dude check out this REAL navy uniform I got at the military surplus store!"

"Uh... is that a nut stain?"

[prisma lintel]

Ehh, for stuff that is "crucial" like guns, communication equipment, hearing protection and plates/helmet, I'd rather have something from this century lol

[empty sorrel]

Military plates are better than anything you're going to get on the civilian market not going to lie

Or at least the ones from this decade are

[prisma lintel]

I'm not getting level 4 plates

I'd never run into anything ap lol

M855 is the most you'd run into

[empty sorrel]

Standard issue ammo for military is going to blow through anything less

M80a1/m855a1

[prisma lintel]

You can get plates that are in-between 3 and 4. Special rated

A civilian doesn't have access to m80a1 or m855a1

Especially in canada

[empty sorrel]

M80a1 is ≈ lv4

3+won't like it

[prisma lintel]

M80a1 isn't around. It's special forces lol

If you run into a group of special forces, it won't matter what armor you have lol.

[empty sorrel]

It's literally the standard load for the m240 now

[prisma lintel]

In the United States yeah

And maybe off country

[empty sorrel]

Oh your a leaf?

[prisma lintel]

The reserves won't have that I'd bet

And yeah leaf

[empty sorrel]

Itar is a bitch lol

[snow scarab]

ironically everything you listed but guns is very modern and amazing

[prisma lintel]

I'm gunna be getting an x95

So that's kind of old

[empty sorrel]

I need a new helmet

[prisma lintel]

This century tho

[empty sorrel]

Probably gonna try and find a deal on an ACH

[prisma lintel]

I'd just get a bump helmet if I were to get a helmet

Tbh

[empty sorrel]

X95 lives rent free in my head from that one artist

[prisma lintel]

Unless I can find a knock off Kevlar fast helmet

I haven't really looked

[empty sorrel]

I don't think helmets are export restricted

[prisma lintel]

They make them here

But I think I'd just get a bump helmet

[empty sorrel]

Be careful that you aren't actually just buying Chinese imports

Unless you really need to mount shit on your head, there's no need for a bump

[prisma lintel]

What if I fall off my bike

[empty sorrel]

Die

[prisma lintel]

Helmet would be my last piece of kit

Night vision being dumb to buy here since you can't shoot at night or go to a range at night

[left flax]

Better go looking then

[empty sorrel]

You can't shoot on your own land?

[prisma lintel]

I don't have that kind of property. A condo is like 600k here

[gritty bay]

do i look like ghost

xd

[ancient grail]

No

[gritty bay]

😿

[ancient grail]

Putting on a skull mask over your kit does not make you look like ghost👍

[empty sorrel]

I mean neither do i, but I've got friends that do

[gritty bay]

to be honest he does wear a skull mask tho

and thats... kinda his whole image

[left flax]

💀

[ancient grail]

Ghost (both in 2009 and 2021-22) wears a VERY specific mask

Anything else makes you look like a white supremacist

Lol

[gritty bay]

he does wear a beanie and a mask right

[ancient grail]

He does not wear a beanie

[prisma lintel]

Why is a skull mask associated with that? I've never seen or heard of that.

Or are you pulling shit out of your ass

[ancient grail]

Look up what a seige mask is

[prisma lintel]

I just see it's popular by right political party

[ancient grail]

I would post the literal thousands of pictures but like %90 of them have swastikas lol

[prisma lintel]

Skulls are used by pirates right, are yhey racist?

[granite tartan]

[ancient grail]

What kind of argument is that lol

Give me attention

[ancient grail]

There's your attention <:

Chad 3m mount user

[left flax]

Go to any blm, antifa or any general protest and you'll see tons

The "proud boys" group loves them too

[prisma lintel]

Sounds like it's a mask used to like "go against" the gubberment

[left flax]

I suppose so

[prisma lintel]

In both left and right. Not a racist mask

Lol

[left flax]

Yah

The people who wear them at protests are just dingus's

[prisma lintel]

I'm learning today

[empty sorrel]

not many protests in my area

agricultural college town

[prisma lintel]

I'm in canada. Last protest we had, peoples banks account were frozen

So not to many anymore

[empty sorrel]

i thought just the donations were?

[snow scarab]

what is that bumass patch?

[snow scarab]

its popular with people like the proud boys

which are not very good people

[coarse laurel]

It’s the Blackbeard patch, usually devgru guys wear it but wannabes started wearing em

[granite tartan]

Hmmm?

[empty sorrel]

no lol, like one guy had his two spec ops friends pose in the shit so he could make money selling em

[coarse laurel]

Lol some folks in the teams have been wearing them since early GWOT

[empty sorrel]

find me a guy in aor1 with that shit on

[coarse laurel]

Blackbeard’s flag has literally been a thing since forever

[coarse laurel]

More like DCU’s lmao

[empty sorrel]

by all means

[coarse laurel]

There’s a reason also why that stupid patch made it in shows like Seal Team where the depiction is super accurate as well. There was a SOFREP article about this awhile back

Also if u ain’t tracking https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_Blackbeard

Don’t get it twisted , I think the patch is overrated, especially when non seals wear it

[unique pilot]

it goes hard

[empty sorrel]

no refrence to use by sof

[coarse laurel]

Seals wear them as morale patches, just like how some of them wore demon hunter patches from the band

Fuck I wish they allowed morale patches like that in the army, we get fucked down for wearing anything that ain’t call sign patches, identifiers or flags

[empty sorrel]

only ever seen sof with special unit patches or generics like flags etc

[coarse laurel]

Lol have you ever deployed?

I have and fuckin SF guys wear all weird nonsensical patches in theatre

[empty sorrel]

perhaps now, patches have grown in populatity a good bit the last ~10y

[coarse laurel]

That’s part of the whole being able to do whatever they want comes into play, especially the beards and the mismatched camo

Interesting tidbit too

https://phoenixchallengecoins.com/shop/us-naval-special-warfare-us-navy-seal-team-5-oif-deployment-t-5-blackbeard-challenge-coin/?v=7516fd43adaa

Team 5 had it in their challenge coin

I consider it the punisher skull of this generation

[empty sorrel]

only image i can find of a fielded guy with one

what im reading it was used by ST3

[coarse laurel]

Deployment photos of seals are also far fewer than you expect due to the nature of the work, I also recall some SAS guy in nairobi using it

[empty sorrel]

thats fair

[coarse laurel]

From that one incident

[empty sorrel]

I would say I dislike punisher more

[coarse laurel]

motherfuckers ruined that

it was my

[empty sorrel]

but how much of that is simply due to my infernal hatred for anyone over the age of 55, I couldnt say

[coarse laurel]

my OSUT cav troop used it for awhile

[empty sorrel]

I mean, its been cringe for a while...

unless you are much older than I'd assume,

[misty mango]

yeah craighead had one

[coarse laurel]

When I went through OSUT as a Cavalry Scout this was my troop’s punisher skull symbol lmao

I still wear the shirt because that fuckin place was tough as fuck

that felt so long ago but this is circa 2017-2018

[misty mango]

punisher skull

[granite tartan]

Hm?

[storm peak]

Only requirement for us group kiddos is to just have camoed pants deployment and maybe be armed

[velvet sparrow]

hey, gear supremist/elitist. sordin supreme pro x, whats your opinion on them? @granite tartan

i think i saw that you had amps or some ops core headset so i know you have atleast 1000 dollars on hearing pro, but what is your experience with the sordin pro x 300-400$ headset.

[granite tartan]

Theyre very comfterable

But

If you can find a comtac single lead III for like $450 do that

If you don’t want comm enabled stuff just use leights

The sordins don’t provide anything worth $300

[velvet sparrow]

not even its directional sound?

[granite tartan]

Hold on

[velvet sparrow]

cuz im trying to go from ok hearing pro for a range visit to better prepared headset for my helmet

[granite tartan]

@velvet sparrow just use Howard leights

[velvet sparrow]

howard lights are good on directional sound?

[granite tartan]

Yes

They’re fine

Check your dms

[coarse laurel]

Howard leights are fine only downside is the comms capability

I’ve seen em used overseas and they last quite awhile as long as you aren’t yeeting the damn thing to a wall

[granite tartan]

Sordin com capability is idk

Exists

[velvet sparrow]

i have yet to get into comms, programming scares me alone.

[swift rose]

[granite tartan]

[low fox]

Anyone ever just dressup for the ‘gram

[low fox]

Whats the visor rated for?

A friend of mine

[low fox]

You look awesome

[low fox]

I try 😘

[low fox]

This looks extremely uncomfortable

[low fox]

You should see the other pic he sent lol. Those goggles and the broly pose is good for the meme but god.

I don't think people would like it here tho

[low fox]

Well you did good lol.

[low fox]

haha yeah well it wasn't cheap

I can imagine. I was casually web browsing today for something similar to what I used for milsims with friends ages ago. Probably well over $400

I was just lucky enough to get hand-me-downs lol

[night rock]

make it even more blurred

[low fox]

I'll ask him tomorrow xD

Gotta hit the hay it's like 2330 but nice small talk.

Peeps god some nice setups in here

[low fox]

yeah I probably spent $15k+ on that shit

worth it

[ancient grail]

I mean its something lol

[low fox]

Holy moly. That's for the full fit plus weapons right??

[low fox]

yeah

[low fox]

Damn you got good shit

[stuck hazel]

Real quads?

[flint hemlock]

Nothing, its non ballistic

[granite tartan]

Where

[low fox]

Given that quads are 40 to 60k, probably not

[snow scarab]

yeah considering he doesn’t even have an ifak so imma go with no

[stuck hazel]

That’s false

GPNVGs are

And I’m pretty sure the price went drastically down

I’ve seen quads for 18k

[low fox]

Thats what I'm referring to

[stuck hazel]

Their Amazon price anyway

[misty mango]

aint no way youre finding L3 quads for less than 40k

they hold their value so fucking hard

[stuck hazel]

Yeah new 40K

These are what I’m referring to

As low as 11k ofc

That’s the best tubes they stock for it

And what he’s wearing in the pic, being what I’m referring to anyway, don’t resemble L3 GPNVG18s anyway

[snow scarab]

yeah and those tubes are eh at best. like 1900 FOM vs GPs being 2470+

[stuck hazel]

still quads for 18k

[misty mango]

id rather buy dtnv's

[stuck hazel]

and i mean you dont need the best tubes for quads either way bearing in mind the main application of quads is CQB

but yeah L3 panos are a different level for a reason

[whole vault]

I too would buy several thousand dollar night vision goggles from amazon. I look forward to seeing the ups delivery guy drop kick my brand new nvg's onto my front porch and then shove it over to my door with his foot

[left flax]

For the price it should be fine

Also damn are delivery dudes that bad over there?

[whole vault]

Everytime I see a delivery guy out dropping off packages they do not give a fuck

Throwing, kicking packages, etc

[low fox]

Just buy the real one for 50k

[verbal karma]

Little camo test

DTS, Truetimber Prairie and Multicam

In the south Texas savanna

[granite tartan]

Only works cause the multicam

👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩

[verbal karma]

Yea the pattern is good but the colors need work

The DTS works well

And if I was more in the rocks the TT would work well too

[low fox]

Yessir

[low fox]

These are ANVIS-10’s they’re $5-15k

They’re bussin’

[snow scarab]

oh shit they are real

[low fox]

Tbh I'll probably build myself digital NODs, I've found plans for some that are very good and are like $400 of parts

[low fox]

Yeah digital nods are getting there

[snow scarab]

be ready for severe motion sickness

[low fox]

You see all the money that could have been spent on an ifak was reallocated for nods

Tbh why use NODs when you can use a 100000 lumen flashlight and sear the retinas of your enemies whether or not they're using NODs? Civilians aren't bound by the geneva convention

[low fox]

Why I want a full power laser

[snow scarab]

also be ready to be seen by anybody using real nightvision considering most digital night vision requires some form of ir light

[left flax]

fucking gorgeous

makes me feel outmatched with my gen1+

[snow scarab]

💀

my guy

why you using gen 1

[low fox]

Honestly people give a little too much credit to gen3 and quads

Yeah they’re way fucking better but for the price you can have a lot of fun with gen1/2

And lets be honest most of us are using this for fun

[left flax]

Because I like night hikes

And I don't have a spare 3k laying around

I think they're fine

[misty mango]

surprisingly less grainy than i would have thought

[left flax]

yeah they are super clear

for gen1

its a binocular one too

[low fox]

I think gen1 has a weird property where there is no “resolution” of the e image so it can actually look cleaner than modern nods

With a lot of extra IR and other stuff

[granite tartan]

Oh it’s you

Hey frend

You see my helmet?

[left flax]

the IR defo helps with it though. cant really use it without the built in IR

but hey, not bad for 340 bucks

[misty mango]

J arm
rhino mount

[granite tartan]

[misty mango]

rhino just because theyre cheap and everywhere

wilcox are nice

just spensive

[granite tartan]

Rhino mounts are bad

Wilcox

[low fox]

What's that set up look like with a pano bridge?

For pvs 14s

[misty mango]

a pano bridge

[granite tartan]

Pano ridge is awful

[low fox]

What makes them bad?

[granite tartan]

Pano bridge is bad

[misty mango]

the dual 14 mount?

[granite tartan]

Or atleast current ones

[low fox]

I e heard you get way more fov

[misty mango]

yes but
not with 14's

[low fox]

Yes

[granite tartan]

The mount itself falls apart

Gotta wait for the new one

[low fox]

Well, poor man's option

[misty mango]

if youre going for dual tubes
just get dual tubes
dual 14's are a bit uh
bulky

[granite tartan]

Just get a mono

They’re fine

[misty mango]

fr

[low zodiac]

tubes

Just rock this instead to see in the dark you heathens

[granite tartan]

You can always put a good tube into a dual housing

[misty mango]

dont really need much else as a civ

[granite tartan]

Bad take

[misty mango]

well yeah
worded badly

[ancient grail]

You need everything as a civ

[misty mango]

dont need much else as a civ depending on what youre planning on doing*

[misty mango]

i agree with this

[low zodiac]

Worlds most based British person

[misty mango]

muh medicinal thermonuclear bomb

[misty mango]

wrong

[low zodiac]

Truth

[low fox]

This guy at the gun range I keep running into keeps telling me how great all the cheap digital nvg and thermal stuff is

[misty mango]

cheap digi
good

[low fox]

He uses it mostly for taking care of hogs and stuff

[misty mango]

pick one

[low fox]

Out on his ranch towards Dallas

[low zodiac]

I mean, a little thermal handheld would be really cool

But even those are thousands

[misty mango]

cheap digi or any digital nvg is pretty ass

and cheap thermals

[low fox]

He's like it's good enough

[misty mango]

eehhh

sounds like a fudd lmao "good enuf"

[low fox]

Not for combat to a near peer or peer

But for fucking over the unprepared it's good

[misty mango]

gonna need an IR floodlight for hogs on a ranch with digi

[low fox]

Hmmm

[granite tartan]

Opscore carbon bump goes hard

[ancient grail]

Muh ops core carbon

[low zodiac]

Trash

Not heavy enough and it is too comfortable

[granite tartan]

Cool

[low zodiac]

For 50 bucks it’s actually pretty cool

Completely useless for real protection

But it’s got some larp value

[snow scarab]

ACH is a way better option than most people realize

if you can get it professionally cut to high and have rails and shit put on it, it’s golden

and like 700 less than buying a mich lol

[low zodiac]

I got it, Then returned it next day lol

I way overpaid

350$

Was pretty used too, though the padding was still all good and the straps didn’t have any cuts or rips

[snow scarab]

also most modern ACHs have holes already drilled to put your own night vision mount

[low zodiac]

That one did

[snow scarab]

buy new straps lol

not that hard to replace

and cheapish

and you can get them on base iirc

[low zodiac]

I didn’t like it because it didn’t fit my ear protection, and I’m not ready to drop like 600$ on comtacs lol

I said I was gonna buy plates with the money I got back, but then I just didn’t

[snow scarab]

comtacs won’t fit either lol

that’s why i say buy a low cut, get it cut to mid or high

[low zodiac]

Oh

@granite tartan you lied then bruh

Mf told me comtacs would fit

[ancient grail]

Comtacs do fit

Somewhat

[snow scarab]

it’s just really fucking tight

[low zodiac]

I definitely want a high cut either way

[snow scarab]

they RFI comtac VI iirc

[low zodiac]

I used to think low cuts where better, but even after 1 day I instantly realized how stupid that was lol

[snow scarab]

@coarse laurel correct me if i’m wrong

[granite tartan]

Comtacs under the helemt

[granite tartan]

Need a super high cut

They fuck

[elder forum]

Hey gents

I was looking for something in Desert Night (A personal favorite camo) and needed a new jacket.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/293907127330

I found this on eBay, it has decent reviews and doesn't look poorly made

yall think its worth it?

[granite tartan]

No

[low fox]

Eh sure go for it

[frigid geyser]

to be fair, if it is for daily use then a commercial jacket might be better and more practical than some 80s-90s collectible

[elder forum]

yeah thing is im kinda tweaking for desert night rn

[frigid geyser]

well there are commercial jacket in desert night, i remember helikon make some

and i suppose there's always some custom stuff around

[clever garden]

Silly me

Anyways, it still looks really nice

Imo since there’s ppl that don’t like it at all

And it’s understandable

[oblique plover]

LOL

Good justification for $10K worth of equipment

Has IR without NVGs, seems legit

[misty mango]

aint gonna change rifle loadout just because its day

the setup is for both day and night

[left flax]

you dont have a different gun for each of the 24 hours of the day?

[snow scarab]

bro what 💀 your rifle setup never changes so you don’t have shifts in zero

even on deployment, PEQs never leave rifles

also he literally has a g24 on his helmet so he obviously has fucking night vision lol

@oblique plover funniest part is that is UK police

[oblique plover]

He got you there bro, kid is a universal argument destroyer

What in the airsoft rifle

[storm peak]

I don't keep my nods on my helmet if I don't need em at that moment, no point in having all that weight on your helmet at noon

[misty mango]

or them getting broken

where you getting brass case x39 btw

[low fox]

Uhhh I don’t remember what website

I got it 2 weeks ago lol

[snow scarab]

i enjoyed cleaning my ak honestly

[low fox]

I got a anoying gas block so it is anoying fr

[proud hazel]

i dont really clean my ak, 4k rounds no clean

[verbal karma]

Nice airsoft rifle

[proud hazel]

What is the screw for next to the safety

[verbal karma]

meant to emulate the dimpled takedown pins?

[proud hazel]

I guess

[verbal karma]

I mean I know it's an airsoft gun it has a 3rd pin and no receiver plate

the finish is way too new/unscathed to be a legitimate Colt transferrable

[proud hazel]

Oh for sure

[verbal karma]

I can't figure out which manufacturer it is though

[proud hazel]

Idk it do be clean tho

[verbal karma]

none of the officially licensed copies I'm finding have the screws for takedown pins

the cheaper ones have the screws and the licensed ones go with accurate takedown pins

The E&C is the only one I can find with the screws but they don't have a current production licensed reciever

I bet he receiver swapped it

there's plenty of licensed AEG lowers he could swap it for

Use your irl_gear to touch grass

Frankensteined together

E&C, G&P and other weird manufacturer parts

And yes, the lower and upper are E&C. The ones in asia have markings
