You dont earn your Mountain Tab if you’re from fort drum until you successfully hook up with a big chick from Watertown. Climb to Glory..and all that @violet geyser

[charred perch]

[stuck hazel]

I was already aware of that image, and did not want to see it again

[plush topaz]

Are the civvie ones also fireproof?

[plush topaz]

You’ve no idea how good that guy has it lol

[coarse laurel]

i mean i know since i worked with ROKA where 20 of em sleep in the same room but im talking about in terms of US Standards

[plush topaz]

My first barracks was a us army Cold War surplus canvas tent for an entire platoon on cots with 1 gas heater that would explode in high winds in the desert in the winter.

Poverty army

[storm peak]

Roka got it good on us bases tho

Any middle eastern unit got it rough

[coarse laurel]

katusa's do but i was talking about the poor bastards garrisoned around north gyeongi along the dmz and near rflc

like regular ROKA conscripts lol

[storm peak]

Well I mean yeah, further north you go the less quality of life you get

I worked with the senior roka peeps at hump

[coarse laurel]

regular roka's living conditions are miserable no matter where it is haha

[storm peak]

Roka peeps at hump had barracks better than mine lol

Not saying katusa but the e7-e9 peeps

[proud hazel]

every one in here saying that guy has it rough
me wishing my bedroom was that big

[plush topaz]

Shut up peasant

[proud hazel]

i spend all my money on guns man

which takes up most of the room now

[plush topaz]

Didn’t you get muted for being annoying

[stuck hazel]

That’s just not true

[fickle bison]

Something called personal preference

[stuck hazel]

Just giving my opinion

It’s exactly as relevant as your own

So really no need for you to comment is there

[fickle bison]

?

[fickle bison]

Wouldn't that be the same case here?

[stuck hazel]

Difference is that I was giving my opinion on the mountain flora, and you decided to give your opinion on my opinion

Just no need

[stuck hazel]

Tf do you mean “?”

the not shit UCP

https://www.joint-forces.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/UCPD-09.jpg

[stuck hazel]

Truth

[storm peak]

Ucp > ocp

Army should of never changed

[fickle bison]

"what if Americans made flecktarn colored camo"

[muted gate]

UCP-D was made to emulate what UCP looks like dirty

without it being dirty

[storm peak]

I mean if yall need some dirty ucps hmu, I got 12 sets sitting in a toughbox in my garage

[muted gate]

nifty camo that died

[muted gate]

yeahhhhhh no

[storm peak]

I like the iba tho

[muted gate]

yeahhhhhhhh

no

[storm peak]

You youngsters don't understand its appeal

[muted gate]

yeahhhhhh no

[storm peak]

Ngl tho, the iba fits quite snug, the deltoid and crotch pads weren't ever used but it was nice

[coarse laurel]

Lol they made me turn in all my UCP shit recently

Wit the exception of the tarp

That shit is handy

[storm peak]

I still have all of my ucp stuff unfortunately

[muted gate]

not on the sheet, not their problem

[coarse laurel]

I’m happy I don’t have to physically go to CIF now, they mail me my gear

[storm peak]

Hasn't been long enough where the ucp stuff is aged off hand recipts

[storm peak]

Cif or rfi? Either way that's dope

[coarse laurel]

CIF

And for turn in you just lay it out in front of S4 and they shove it into a surepack for shipping

Even if ain’t clean

[storm peak]

Gobbles covid for that

[coarse laurel]

That’s the system they are starting to do on posts and units like here in Benning

[storm peak]

Campbell is still in person

[turbid viper]

us armys camo selection is completely useless all there camos suck

[storm peak]

Who min-maxes camo

[muted gate]

imagine not having Gulf 1 Vibes

with 30 different camos

[coarse laurel]

Bruh we have tiger stripes here in Benning for opfor shit in ranger school

In limited amounts since they are a pain to get ahold of

[muted gate]

M81, Choci chip, 3 colour, ERDL, and a little tiger

[storm peak]

Am jealous, I usually get told to wear old uniforms or wear shit inside out for opfor

[muted gate]

Fucking Gulf 1 was a fever dream

[coarse laurel]

Yeah they gave us DCU’s in Bliss for NTC when we acted as op for for another brigade

[plush topaz]

Hah I have a funny opfor pic I’d like to show you. Just a sec

[storm peak]

Pretty dope ngl, you were in a unit that's solely just opfor for ntc right?

[coarse laurel]

Nah

Literally they just needed bodies so they tasked a bunch of us to help blackhorse

[storm peak]

They give yall utms or miles for that?

[coarse laurel]

Yeah

[muted gate]

everytime i see you in the IDF i just imagine you really drunk and tired

[plush topaz]

Lol. Neither of course.

[muted gate]

like that first raid pic, you look like you wanna die

[plush topaz]

I wanted to make people dead.

Everytime I see cannolis idf pics I can only imagine vaporrub on knees

@storm peak speaking of Korea

[storm peak]

Good times

[snow scarab]

what kind pc is that lt wearing?

shit looks weird af

[storm peak]

You look for clip on night vision once on eBay and they don't stop sending you emails bout it

[snow scarab]

also big boy acog 😂

[coarse laurel]

He had a whole ass admin pouch on his plate carrier

That’s why it’s weird

[snow scarab]

ah

shoulder straps make me think it’s condor too

[coarse laurel]

So he can put all his LT shit like maps and markers

Probably

[snow scarab]

i’m so glad all of our officers are former NCOs

[storm peak]

I mean it's akin to putting sustainment pouches on your ruck, silly

[coarse laurel]

@snow scarab

[snow scarab]

still ain’t put the fcpc together 😂

[coarse laurel]

Bruh I think my cummerbund is lost in transit

Lol

[snow scarab]

yikes

[coarse laurel]

I have to email them about getting a replacement

Yeah

It’s annoying

[snow scarab]

oh yeah, i tried driving a forester btw

fucking hated it

[coarse laurel]

Why

[snow scarab]

the brake pedal is itty bitty and the gas pedal is so stiff i kept lurching

plus i didn’t like the seats

[coarse laurel]

Also it’s all about the Outback/crosstrek

[snow scarab]

would’ve loved one of those but the cheapest one was 26k 😂

[coarse laurel]

I’ve seen an outback outperform a 4Runner I was so proud

[snow scarab]

chose an AWD santa fe instead. loved the feel of it

same price as the forester but newer and like 20k less miles

[coarse laurel]

I only have 7.8k on this baby so far

[snow scarab]

santa fe has like 87k. almost chose an impreza premium 2014, but too small for me

i also sat in a challenger and my head was out of the sun roof

[plush topaz]

You saw it outperform a novice driver. Not the 4Runner.

4Runner unstoppable!

My buddy has a really dope cross trek. Love that thing. Mud tires, storage shelving. Etc…

No car will outperform a 4x4

[oblique plover]

Dat NTV tho

[violet geyser]

Cowboy boots or adidas🤷🏻‍♂️

[violet geyser]

I do have it nice,have my own kitchen and shower, most mfs share all of it

[plush topaz]

YOUR OWN KITCHEN

Wow

I hate you

[violet geyser]

😂😭yes I don’t have to wash my hands in the same sink I wash my dishes after taking a shit😂

[plush topaz]

[sour iron]

For recording range shit. Would it be better to use a tacticam or just mount a go pro on the rifle.

[plush topaz]

I use a go pro

Never done rifle mounted though. Don’t see the point

Looks cool I guess

[sour iron]

Don't have a bump helmet or anything. I guess head mount makes more sense. I just didn't want to have to edit so much for opsec. That's why rifle was my choice

[plush topaz]

Head or chest. Yea

[snow scarab]

i wish i could buy one. cheapest one was like 29k tho 😭

[fickle bison]

Imagine not owning a 30 yr old shit box

[storm peak]

There do be cameras that mount to riflescopes for like $300

[twin pecan]

why more than one plate carrier?

out of curiosity

[misty mango]

why not

[coarse laurel]

'murica

also im in the army, it kinda comes with the occupation to have more than one

[twin pecan]

oh

[storm moat]

i want a plate carrier so bad ngl but im not tryna spend like 800 for it with plates

[left flax]

That's fucking beautiful

[snow scarab]

that’s cheap end

and it’s well worth it

[plush topaz]

✊

[storm moat]

damn i thought that would be kinda mid tier lmao but help me build one out

[timber fog]

RWD, 4x4 optional- best of both worlds

Donut capability ✔️
Off-road capability ✔️

[twin pecan]

I mean you probably get to look cool

[fickle bison]

San Francisco housing spotted

[timber fog]

Yeah I used to live out there for some time

[fickle bison]

You'd be disappointed on how it is right now

[timber fog]

Tell me about it man

I still go there every once in a while

But it’s definitely not what it used to be

Oakland’s where all the fun’s at rn anyways so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[fickle bison]

"legalized" shrooms

[timber fog]

Decriminalized

Honestly that one was for the better

[fickle bison]

Funny thing is that despite shrooms and weed being legal, mf still doing open air drugs on fentanyl and dying from that shit

[timber fog]

Nothing new, just a bummer to see them still not doing anything to fix it

I used to leave my apartment and see people nodding off on my doorstep lol

And that was before fent took over too

On a lighter note, went to a local surplus spot yesterday and found some shit in universal AOR

Didn’t cop anything tho, everything was XL+ in size

Was genuinely surprised to see it in the wild

[fickle bison]

That's the issue with surplus stores for me, none of the cool finds fits me because all surplus has is large or XL

Not to mention I'm cursed genetically to become a manlet

[bronze burrow]

yeah i gave up on surplus

all XL

i just get new stuff

[stuck hazel]

Tf do you know how much plates cost

For a genuinely good plate carrier you’re spending upwards of 400 minimum just on the pouches and plate carrier

[plush topaz]

Most 4x4’s are rwd

[timber fog]

Really? I thought most would be awd

Then again my brother’s the car guy of our family so 🤷🏻‍♂️

[timber fog]

My exact experience yesterday

Saw a lot of cool stuff, all too big

The only thing my size were beat to shit ocp uniforms lmao

I feel like it wasn’t this bad before tho

[bronze burrow]

for just a genuinely good chest rig it will be upwards of 400 lmao

[stuck hazel]

..thats not true

[plush topaz]

What's a "genuinely" good one in your opinion?

[stuck hazel]

400 is like AVS rig range

You can get all sorts of top tier shit for less than 400

[plush topaz]

I have some tremendously cheap chest rigs that work pretty well. I don't even know who makes them lol

[timber fog]

Hell, even the mayflowers don’t touch $300

[whole vault]

Crye's website is down for maintenance REEEEEEEEE!!!

[muted gate]

imagine buying cryes firsthand

[snow scarab]

it’s been down for like two weeks

[stuck hazel]

Who buys shit straight from Crye anyway

Other than the obvious

But they don’t use the website

[snow scarab]

considering there’s a bunch of shit you can’t get from anywhere but crye themselves, lots of people. any airlite stuff, most of their new pouches, their back panels without a mark up

[stuck hazel]

But why do you need any of that shit unless you’re a Crye nerd

[snow scarab]

it’s actually good?

[stuck hazel]

All of what Crye makes is good

[snow scarab]

a lot of their pouches are pretty fucking nice

[stuck hazel]

But not all of it is the best

[snow scarab]

not the mention of you own an SPC you need the airlite shit to work with it

[stuck hazel]

Yeah that’s fair

[snow scarab]

plus more reliable for brand new AVS and CPCs

[stuck hazel]

Whose buying brand new AVSs and CPCs

It’s something that you can absolutely 100% get away with buying second hand for cheaper

[granite tartan]

Highest stitching per inch

NIR COMPLIANCE

and designed well

[stuck hazel]

Yes?

Crye makes good stuff

Crye is not the be all and end all

[granite tartan]

It isn’t

But it’s the gold Standard

Most things are usually objectively worse, or has a worse infrastructure

@stuck hazel who hurt you

[stuck hazel]

Crye price tags

[granite tartan]

Poor cope?

They’re price about the same as everything else

If not cheaper

@snow scarab you put pouches on that shit yet

[snow scarab]

not yet

i’ve been extra poor last couple weeks

[granite tartan]

Based

[stuck hazel]

Indeed, poor cope

[granite tartan]

Sorry to hear

[stuck hazel]

I’m picking up some arcy Leaf relatively soon

Found some assault pants for sale

Shit shame they only sell their new shit to mil/leo now

[granite tartan]

Based

I would get uf pro or crye pants

Leaf jackets are mint

I use an atom

[stuck hazel]

I already have UF PRO

I use the leaf assault shirt and it’s 10/10

I’m just looking for some more multicam in my life

Plus you never really see arcy assault pants around so

Also, they’re going for a very very reasonable price

[misty mango]

theyre stupid expensive in the uk💀

the second hand market isn't as saturated

plus they hold their price way too much

id own cryes if i could but poor cope makes me stick with either surplus or civ clothing

[left flax]

Saw an AVS on the FB marketplace for 150 lol

It didn't havd the backplate though, it was like a chest rig with the plate at the front

[stuck hazel]

The AVS rig is something else

Plent of those about

[left flax]

Ahh

[coarse laurel]

@snow scarab @stuck hazel

[snow scarab]

yessir

[coarse laurel]

Lol I put it together finally

[snow scarab]

how’s it feel to wear?

[coarse laurel]

It’s light

[cold ledge]

What placard you running?

[coarse laurel]

It’s a HRT Maximus

I’m waiting for my DOPE placard to come in but I’ll be using that for 7.62 mags

I have this too

[cold ledge]

Is it a good fit? I managed to frankenstein a spiritus mk5 on mine but the buckles are massive

[coarse laurel]

Lmao I got sent the wrong color

[coarse laurel]

It’s a good fit on a K19, JPC 2.0, FCPCV5, Slickster

[cold ledge]

Yeah I had to buy an attachment in order to get mine onto the FCPC so it hangs a lil too low if I don’t position it right 🥲

[coarse laurel]

@cold ledge the HRT comes with the buckle set

Fits perfect

[stuck hazel]

Looking very nice

There’s a place in my heart reserved especially for two band cummerbunds

[coarse laurel]

My radio cable management is a mess though

Still tweaking that

[cold ledge]

I almost bought the HRT too it just wasn’t available in MCB ;-;

[coarse laurel]

Lol

[stuck hazel]

We all love MCB

[cold ledge]

I’m obsessed with it atm

[coarse laurel]

I might buy a repro fcpc aor1

Just because aor1 is damn expensive

[granite tartan]

Fcpc owners

@coarse laurel how the e-doff work

[coarse laurel]

What

[granite tartan]

👀

[coarse laurel]

Are you talking about the shoulder release?

[misty mango]

this fr

they go hard

especially if theyre structural

[coarse laurel]

It’s literally a strap buried on the chest part

[snow scarab]

what is that,

?

@coarse laurel you ever used any of the mayflower rigs?

i’m tempted to get one

[coarse laurel]

It’s the Ferro ktar flap

[misty mango]

may a homie get a breakdown?

that setup looks rather interesting

[snow scarab]

all that money on an SF yet a plate frame?

is that not your plate carrier?

[misty mango]

sheesh

i aint even heard about most of the shi on the plateframe

thats awesome man

ive known about the origional plateframe for a while and thought it was kinda mid but i know why it exists

the M seems interestinng

id still never buy one because its hella expensive and i have no need for a minimal carrier

yeahhhhhhh

looks like ass

the M looks like it has some variation on the cobra buckle system

looks a hell of a lot better

[plush topaz]

I can't write that word. My phone auto corrects it to something vulgar and I'll get banned

[misty mango]

also looks a hell of a lot nicer

thats the PF redux aint it?

wait no

that doesnt have vertical molle

ah

[snow scarab]

yeah and it’s a pretty dumb idea

no to the first two, however your statement on it puts all the weight on your shoulders isn’t good either

how is that comfortable?

are there some kind of pads inside of the plate?

[timber fog]

You can see them in the pic

[misty mango]

minimalistic pads

perfect for maritime shi tbf

and probably more comfortable than an SPC

[snow scarab]

i mean the SPC isn’t uncomfortable if it’s fitted right. plus with side plates it makes it real snug

correction, snug enough. it fits perfectly with side ESAPIs

what advantage does it really give over something like the SPC in terms of holding the plate open to the air?

this is the SPC. structural skeletal cummerbund, can’t remember the material that holds it firm, completely open plate bags, mesh along the entire back so it holds the plate off of you and allows air flow. material is also water resistant

i’m not a huge fan of this back panel honestly. getting the crye bag panel so i can use it for a bladder and a hooligan

wdym?

oh the molle

it’s OK, the main bitch about the plate carrier is the cummerbund but it’s not a huge deal

it isn’t

it’s average spaced

just looks weird cause it’s completely cut away

the cummerbund also tucks into the front plate bags

which allows it to stay rigid even better. also means you can run a radio inside your cummerbund more easily

nice

[storm peak]

Only thing I imagine seeing that is some mega nerd trying to shave off maybe a pound off their kit because they're out of shape

[snow scarab]

it’s also pretty much a jpc with the load bearing ability of an AVS

it’s not just lightweight, it’s the fact of it actually holds weight well

[storm peak]

Just workout more and any kit will be lightweight

I had my side plates in for the longest of time until I found out that the armored vehicles we got here can barely fit a 11 year old

[coarse laurel]

we only wear it when CSM or someone important is looking

meanwhile BC be like "take that shit off"

[snow scarab]

great job not listening lol

now that’s just dumb

[storm peak]

[granite tartan]

LOl you actually own that PC

heh

Daily this chat gets better

You have a GBRS belt

@low fox

Lol

@snow scarab I like this ugy

guy

[snow scarab]

you like the plate frame?

i’m still iffy about it

i’ll read about it

[granite tartan]

literally nothing about his kit is nice

[snow scarab]

well if my guess is correct, it’s not exactly HIS kit

if you catch my drift

[granite tartan]

no

@snow scarab Sig spear LT neet

I want one kinda

[snow scarab]

idk if socom has a CIF like normal army does with plate carriers and such

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab Say in english

i like my SF helmet tho

[snow scarab]

i’m taking a wild guess with saying navspecwar but probably not

[granite tartan]

you LEO/MIL?

[snow scarab]

i mean he said the teams were using the plate frame-m before it was sold to civvies so if i had to guess

[granite tartan]

i think anyone with GBRS belt and the TNC HA has brain damage

[granite tartan]

i want to kermit sitting in a car with a plastic UBL

let alone a metal one

eh...

You sit in cars alot?

That's my argument for it

also i run a CHLK

when i get my work belt ima KMS

i larp on the side hto

[granite tartan]

Larp?

[snow scarab]

[coarse laurel]

Yeah lol

As it should

[snow scarab]

[coarse laurel]

It’s not a bad helmet but it still can’t beat opscore FAST style helmets

[snow scarab]

either the MT or the rf1

[coarse laurel]

Weight and ballistic considerations

[snow scarab]

i watched a video of a dude shooting one. holy fuck the bfd

[coarse laurel]

[misty mango]

that’s because it fucking sucks

[misty mango]

virtus helmet stay winning

[snow scarab]

it doesn’t when you look at modern warfare and communications. the army RFIs comtacs now

exactly

we already have contracts with opscore, i’d take some old ass MT over an ACH lol

[misty mango]

the MT goes hard tbf

has the swag of being older but just as good

just a lil heavier

[snow scarab]

give me a fast MT that some old, salty GB used in afghanistan circa 2012

Idk I'm at work break almost over

[misty mango]

as a standalone rig though
no

"but muh recce"

[echo jay]

If I remember when I get home I'll try and find out if it actually the same pic I'm thinking of

[misty mango]

you dont need a micro rig for that

[stuck hazel]

The guy was talking about the fact he has big arms then posted that pic

Either way something something stay fit or die

[left flax]

This makes me want to run a mile real quick

[stuck hazel]

True

[whole vault]

💀

[vestal swift]

[granite tartan]

Ali express

[vestal swift]

[granite tartan]

Unironically discord

[stuck hazel]

Shii

Crye GP is based

[granite tartan]

Yeah it’s nice

[vestal swift]

[granite tartan]

And I’m going to start to use some exclusive cringe leo website

[granite tartan]

Yeah, they’re also a large crye distributor

[stuck hazel]

Worth?

[granite tartan]

It was $60 so yeah

[snow scarab]

@coarse laurel just watched an LT on an electric scooter ride out of fort leavenworth

[misty mango]

theyre a generally large gear dealer

[stuck hazel]

You can get other shit for less than

So what I mean to say is “is it exceptional”

But it’s Crye so I wouldn’t be surprised

[granite tartan]

Yeah I can

Or I can get something nice

[snow scarab]

they sell lots of real deal stuff

[stuck hazel]

True

Your $60

[granite tartan]

I need it to hold up

[stuck hazel]

Quite pleased with my two WAS GP pouches

[granite tartan]

@stuck hazel I’m using mine for irl shit man not airsoft

[timber fog]

Cop shit tho

Might as well be for airsoft

[stuck hazel]

I’m judging them under the same criteria

But I get what you mean

If you’re gonna use them fr then you want the best shit

[granite tartan]

Based

Not a cop

Arby’s

[timber fog]

Same thing

[coarse laurel]

@snow scarab its RAP (Ranger assessment phase) week next week, this is gonna be miserable hah

people bitch about their long hours, meanwhile i gotta get to work at 1 in the morning to watch a bunch of ranger candidates get smoked to death

[snow scarab]

that’s the final week isn’t it?

[coarse laurel]

no

its day 0

[gaunt gust]

where did you get your gear from

[stuck hazel]

Plate carrier is direct from LBT

Pouches are from Uk tactical or smth like that

Warrior armour systems

[snow scarab]

oh. way off lol

[snow scarab]

what is that?

[gaunt gust]

what case is that

[teal ore]

the carrier?

[misty mango]

fcpc by the looks of it

[teal ore]

FCPC

[snow scarab]

yeah

ok that’s what i thought

[teal ore]

Pelican 1650

[stuck hazel]

Changed a lil bit since then anyway

[gaunt gust]

that is awesome

[stuck hazel]

Cheers pal

[misty mango]

airframe kinda stinky

[teal ore]

take it back

[misty mango]

nah

[teal ore]

airframe goated

[misty mango]

its ugly ahh

[stuck hazel]

Airframe is hard to do well

[teal ore]

everything else is overused

[misty mango]

for good reason lmao

[stuck hazel]

MTEKless Flux>>>>>>

[misty mango]

MTEK deez nuts

[teal ore]

MTEK just look like a wish opscore

[misty mango]

funky retention system

[stuck hazel]

Good job there’s no Mtek

[timber fog]

At least it’s not an airframe

[misty mango]

i just wish the flux had ARC rails

so i wouldnt need to change everything over

[stuck hazel]

Rn, same

[teal ore]

what is that goofy ahhh

[stuck hazel]

An Mtek without the rails

Looks sick cant say otherwise

[misty mango]

that is quite literally my only complaint

because im an enjoyer of helmet mounted ear pro

[stuck hazel]

Me too

[misty mango]

and the MLOK system is just

meh

[stuck hazel]

Just not adapters that stick out a whole inch

[misty mango]

atleast the unity mounts dont look too shabby with it because theyre tiny

but they be expensive

[stuck hazel]

True

Especially UK wise

[misty mango]

atleast we have tac kit🙏

[stuck hazel]

I love tac kit

[misty mango]

wish i knew they existed before i bought my D3

[stuck hazel]

Got my cummerbund from there

[cold ledge]

They just restocked a load of ferro stuff and I emptied my wallet buying some if it 😂

[misty mango]

felt

[stuck hazel]

I’ve not looked in a while

Imma have a browse

[cold ledge]

Only thing I’m after from them atm is a new weapon light

[stuck hazel]

The BFG triple elastic M4 pouch is unrealistic lt priced

It’s something you can easy replicate via china

[stuck hazel]

For airsport?

[cold ledge]

Yeah man

[misty mango]

viper moment

although i am a moron and would rather get the real stuff for airshit

[stuck hazel]

Wadsn

I’m gonna experiment with some repro shit

[misty mango]

hsgi tacos

uhh @stuck hazel
would you say the flux is high cut or super high cut?

[stuck hazel]

Hugh cut

Doesn’t have the lil indent

[misty mango]

ah

if i do get one ill probably have to run earpro under then

pain

ill be doing that when i get sordins

actually
i got paid recently

might have enough to grab some

[left flax]

You czn borrow mine

[misty mango]

aight
how much is a train ticket

[left flax]

Not much

You'll be leaving with more than sordins doe

[misty mango]

your zenitco

[left flax]

Too far

[misty mango]

[cold ledge]

Tbf was looking at the streamlight stuff and surefires, just trying to find a good balance between lumens and candela

[misty mango]

youre assuming they issue amps in the UK

lmao

at best they issue comtac 3's to SF

2's to deployed infantry if youre lucky

oh more than likely

[stuck hazel]

I shit you not for airshit wadsn is unbelievable. I dabbled in milspec rifle lights but for like £30-60 you can get something with insane lumens from wadsn repros

[misty mango]

wadsn kinda go hard

[stuck hazel]

Doesnt say

China shit

I compared it to shit thats ~800

Brighter by a little

[stuck hazel]

It’s unreal

Their vis laser is visible over 2k

NGAL shit

[cold ledge]

I was after a DBAL ages ago but I just didn’t get it for some reason

[stuck hazel]

I’m not one to say “just as good”

[misty mango]

nah but fr
people have been using somogear PEQ's over the lower power civ PEQ's

theyre cheaper

built almost the same

hold zero

and are full power

[stuck hazel]

Bottom line is for the price of a wadsn you may as well nab one to see if it does the job

[misty mango]

blood do you have the leather headband for the sordins?

[stuck hazel]

I do

[misty mango]

thats the first time ive ever heard anyone describe it as that

[misty mango]

nice

im extremely tempted to spend some money on em

please talk me out of it

[stuck hazel]

Easy

Legit not worth

[misty mango]

cheaper than comtacs

sordins

and i dont really need comms

we dont have ops core sponsors like the US

spensive shit be rare asf

[stuck hazel]

I’d like to waste more money on comms but

We are where we are

[cold ledge]

I love my sordins so much I bought a Bluetooth adapter for them. If communications is important just buy a speaker mic, won’t be an issue as long as you buy a model with audio jacks

[misty mango]

£600 for XPI's with a boom mic

i hate uk prices

fuck this country man

i wanna larp without going broke

[snow scarab]

except it’s better honestly lol

[coarse laurel]

lol i got free peltors in my last unit

off the books and all no hand receipt

im cadre in ranger school atm so its weirder now in terms of off the books shit

[misty mango]

izu
be a homie

hook me up

wit some free peltors

[coarse laurel]

man i would but i want em all

lmao

[misty mango]

i get that lmao

free shit is free shit

i wish ITAR wasn't a such a bitch

[stuck hazel]

Like fuck they check people leaving the US going into Mexico

Fly out pick ‘em up have a nice holiday go home

Easy shit

[misty mango]

i dont got the time to fly out

plus if im going through the effort of going to the US im staying for a bit and seeing some people

plus i know some guys with full autos

[snow scarab]

i will gladly take them

i’m in the states 😁

[snow scarab]

i will pay you to get me some peltors and a helmet

who says i’m using em for army stuff? lmfao

my unit dumb af. the one i’m going to is way more lenient

my current unit does not allow personal PC unless you are a medic or e6 and above

the CAB on the other hand is if it fits ar670 it’s gtg

anyways how much you want? lmfao. i’ll go into debt

like 15💀

lemme just get my tax returns and give me 12 months to accumulate the cash 😂

actually 13,700

that’s the retail apparently

very

[storm peak]

Lol get fucked

[snow scarab]

one i’m going to later this year allows it

[storm peak]

Shouldn't base next unit by what gear you're allowed to use lol

[snow scarab]

i’m not?

i just know the next unit i’m going to allows it

[coarse laurel]

lol most of the time the kind of unit that lets you do that are the good ones

especially in big army

[snow scarab]

@coarse laurel just found out we might not get our payout from allstate 👍

[coarse laurel]

why

[snow scarab]

some bullshit about since i became the owner of the vehicle it could make it null and void

since i’m under my parents policy, not my own

[snow scarab]

seb, you using this kind of mount or a wilcox?

[worthy heart]

Imma use a rino

[snow scarab]

which one is the rhino again?

[worthy heart]

Pretty much the same as what you have

Same thing different manufacturer

[snow scarab]

ah ok

[worthy heart]

Wait no

[snow scarab]

this is just a norotos surplus i picked up today. imma use it for that ACH

[worthy heart]

Rino is the arm

[snow scarab]

yeah

[worthy heart]

That's what I plan to pick up

[snow scarab]

gotcha

[worthy heart]

Don't feel like drilling new holes

[snow scarab]

fair

[carmine shale]

New belt

I need a new placard for my PC

[whole vault]

😬

Dont do it mike

[misty mango]

mike
leave the lad alone

[worthy heart]

Nice choice on holster

[carmine shale]

The only choice

[worthy heart]

DAM FUCKING RIGHT

Fucking love mine

Though I need to get a mount that makes it sit a little lower

My jacket keeps snagging it

[carmine shale]

I don’t know why my arm was glued to my side like it was

[worthy heart]

Eh ready position can be whatever

I either keep hands up or one on the gun

[carmine shale]

Stendos i need to practice

[worthy heart]

Lol yeah I'd tbh just use those for practice on aim

Or draw

Something where you want to get more rounds on target rather than reload

[carmine shale]

Hmm crusty

[worthy heart]

i need to eventually get my gun milled for a acro

imma shoot another 400 through my 17 before I clean it

[misty mango]

acro's look so hot on glocks

🙏

[worthy heart]

very much so

need to get new irons soon

Before I break these ones

[drifting socket]

look what i found in my closet

[dim elm]

wait what

[vestal swift]

yea i bough a couple at my gun dealer, there not really useful and make the gun 10x heavier, but they are trying to ban those

[carmine shale]

Yeah, unfortunately not all of us are built like a twig and can wear 30 inch jeans

[stuck hazel]

Botkin Larp

[granite tartan]

@stuck hazel

[misty mango]

always worth it if youre in a high threat situation and if you've been hit

better to have and not need

[granite tartan]

Yeah?

[carmine shale]

I mean, if you went through the trouble of putting information on your kit, why would you fuck with it?

I mean like why would you put the wrong info on?

Be honest, I don’t even know what my blood type is

[karmic sedge]

For sure. If only there was a blood type that's able to be given to anyone.

[carmine shale]

Yeah, also what world if you are unconscious, there is no way in hell any doctor or EmT is going to give you a blood transfusion without testing your blood type first

I’ve taken enough medical training and have enough Kit Kit on me where if someone got shot and they didn’t immediately die from blood loss I can keep them alive until paramedics get there

Ha ok

Like if I went to my doctor and I can get you know that type of way like laminated info card I can stick on my eye. Fuck yeah that would be great

[stuck hazel]

Tight

[granite tartan]

Emt don’t give blood transfusions

I mean some of them will hold a cert but 9/10 they’ll have paramedics do it

Also they try to use 0neg

[stuck hazel]

People forget universal donors and exist

[worthy heart]

Nice but my kit is better

[whole vault]

🤢🤮

[sour iron]

https://www.sionyx.com/products/opsin too early to tell if good?

[worthy heart]

I've seen the company before it's digital night vision super cheap

I wouldn't get your hopes up

Plus digital night vision isn't at the point yet where it's amazing

[sour iron]

Apparently they reduced latency

That's all I'm hard about

[worthy heart]

Eh

Don't get your hopes up

[sour iron]

But they still don't state latency spec lmao

[worthy heart]

As much as I want affordable night vision

We ain't there yet

[sour iron]

It's 3 grand

Apparently this version was DOD requested?

[worthy heart]

Pfttt

That's a step up from their 500 or 200 dollar one

Funny thing too the ad they used for their product was made at a airshit field in the next couple states over from me

I recognize some of the people in the video

[sour iron]

Yeah it's a definitely more recreation type company

But this is their Apparently big boi stuff

I just hope the latency is actually usable since it's advertised as a monocular

[worthy heart]

We will see then

[sour iron]

Hop will probably get his hands on it soon

[worthy heart]

I need night vision

Lasers are also going up in price

[sour iron]

Lol who knows if it's even possible for a mdr handguard to hold zero

Probably not

Besides I can't shoot anywhere at Night

[worthy heart]

Can always get a mount that has the optic and night vision on one

[sour iron]

Lol

[snow scarab]

hey i’m one of those

i think

[sour iron]

Not possible with a elcan I think

[snow scarab]

MDR doodoo

[sour iron]

Shalom

[muted gate]

MDR bad

and made by bad people

[sour iron]

https://www.specprecision.com/railmount/518-evolution-gear-gbrs-hydra-optics-mount-both-night-vision-compatible-optic-ir-device.html this things not 1200$ anymore?

[snow scarab]

it never was

[worthy heart]

Pfttt

That's also a cheap copy

Not a real gbrs

Actual ones are like 500

[snow scarab]

that’s cause people buy them to throw on their 16 inch ars like fucking idiots

[worthy heart]

You can tell it's a fake cause it's missing a divit for the p2

[sour iron]

Lmao

[worthy heart]

Tbh you would be better off with the kac one

GBRS has up charged their production to charge a premium for no real reason

Apparently kac called them out due to them claiming kac can charge a lower cost because bigger company

I'm trying to remember the production cost of both cause they are both generally the same to produce

[stuck hazel]

GRBS shouldn’t really have entered the tactical market

The belt is definition of mid

[muted gate]

doesnt GBRS steal ideas also

i vaguely remember a stock riser shit fest

[stuck hazel]

Probably

Something something slade irregulars

[muted gate]

no, basically from what I recall is GBRS makes a vid laughing at risers, FEER comes out week later, GBRS deletes vid and comes out with their riser a week later

@stuck hazel tell me im not misremembering that

[stuck hazel]

Pretty sure that’s right

I think this was back when I was going down the rabbit hole and actually cared

[muted gate]

yeah

like 6 months ago

i hate GBRS anyway because they are just goobers

[stuck hazel]

GBRS are a solid group of guys conducting bad business

All it is

They’re all a bit too full of themselves for my taste

[muted gate]

its all hybebeast gear

the hydra has a specific use case that 95% of people dont have

[stuck hazel]

Not even good hype beast gear

Role one my beloved

[muted gate]

hell i know of several guys that just rock the 30 dollar hydra mounts from china

surprisingly good with just a dab of blue Loctite

[stuck hazel]

Someone recently released an extended arm for the unity mount that achieves the same thing

[muted gate]

See who needs nods mounts when HoB is a meme on what i run

[stuck hazel]

Lol

[muted gate]

dude, its been a rabbit hole

fucking started cracking at arabic again to get iraqi language sources for shit

Fucking hate the writing style

i cant write it for shit

[left flax]

Where did their faces go :0

[muted gate]

bro, OPSEC bro, like operational security bro, do you not tactical bro

[left flax]

Opsec my nuts or something idk

[grand portal]

Does thou even tactical?

[plush topaz]

Nothing special to black out here

Just joking. It’s a joke. I love him.

[stuck hazel]

Cant say I know who that is

[left flax]

Mark

[stuck hazel]

[storm peak]

Wtf is gbrs?

What in the San Francisco dark room are these larpers

??????

???????

So a bunch of larping civis

Got it

All you had to say

If this is the gprs stuff you were posting about then yes

You get out of the military = civilian

A bunch of sweaty larpers

Once again beckons to my question a few days ago about me not understand the cultural appeal of larpers

You realize that all sof elements gets training from local shooting clubs close to off base right

That's why there's a market for it

???????

Lol if you say so buddy

[stuck hazel]

What the fuck are you on about

Remove the stick from your ass

[muted gate]

as in why larp?

[fickle bison]

🍿

Keep the convo going, things are getting good

[muted gate]

My problem with GBRS is the claims of stealing shit and just generally having hypebeast gear

[storm peak]

Let us start from the top so i can go back to work

[muted gate]

the riser has a use case that isnt needed for 99% of people that buy em

for a price that is wayyyyy over what it should be

499 for the riser and 279 for the magnifier riser

https://www.reddit.com/r/tacticalgear/comments/w0p2pz/gbrs_group_blatantly_stealing_again/

[storm peak]

Formal training, seen it all over clarksville, oda sends up the budget request to go to so and so off post training event

[muted gate]

this was the thing i saw months ago,

and 75 bucks for an ostensibly 3d printable riser is fucking stupid

[muted gate]

correct me if im wrong but that is mostly for facilites and decent opfor from what i recall

i still find it really suspect

especially after bashing the shit

Someone linked the video around the time iirc

i know i wont be able to find it

and my other issue is 75 bucks

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0430/4443/8181/products/GBRS-x-Spectre-CR-1-Valkyrie-Cheek-Riser-1657878945_720x.jpg?v=1657878947

for a 3d printed riser

[storm peak]

Nah opfor/utm style training is done on base, I'm talking actual firearms training classes

[muted gate]

their knives are meh

its literally just hypebeast gear

My point is, all of these things added up just make them just horrid

overpriced hypebeast gear that caters to the fad loadout gang

[snow scarab]

i’m in a discord with his son mikey. his sons a bit of a c-unt

[stuck hazel]

That’s just prickery

[muted gate]

i mean thats a bit more that just a bit

[stuck hazel]

Nice enough guys but shitty business

[muted gate]

773 for both risers

Just cant get beyond that

[stuck hazel]

That’s fucking extortionate

Unacceptably high

Way to make people not buy your shit

[muted gate]

Wanna know something funny

I can get an Airsoftium one for 60 dollars. Swap the screws. Dab of loctite

[stuck hazel]

It will work.

Get some legit T2 screws and some locktite to attach it to the receiver

[muted gate]

It just makes me angry

and this applies to other guys as well

and dont get me wrong, old sof guys can make some okay shit. its just the fact that its all hype beast gear

[fickle bison]

That's what makes capitalism great, you can have an option not to buy and support a business

If people want it, they'll buy it. Nothing really stopping them from doin so

They're just taking advantage of idiots willing to spending that much money

Can't blame them for taking advantage of doing so

[stuck hazel]

I can simply tell people not to buy their shit

[stuck hazel]

GBRS belt is mega mid

There are simply better options for less money

Ronin belt, also my beloved

[muted gate]

200 bucks

are they fucking high

[muted gate]

ronins are nice, stole my buddies during a comp

[stuck hazel]

I love my ronin

It’s class

[stuck hazel]

Ronin is sick

Airshit gun ignore that
