I can’t find anything about them online tho, so probably just more repro shit like greyshop right?

[plush topaz]

Exactly.

[timber fog]

Shame

[plush topaz]

Airsofters love those Russian sites

Wish I knew more about them to help

[timber fog]

No worries, this was helpful enough, thank you

I know a few other places I can check

Kula just happened to have all the camos I wanted in stock and in my sizes

Which already made me somewhat suspicious lol

[plush topaz]

I've found sizing at these Russian shops to be ridiculously inaccurate

Like everything is way larger than advertised lol

I didn't know Russia had so many fatties

Or maybe they're just making it for Americans 🤔

[timber fog]

Well, they sure know their market

From what I hear it’s usually best practice to tap in with them directly and ask about sizing

[plush topaz]

Ask them to schedule a zoom call and have the sales Rep do a live fashion show for you

[timber fog]

LOL

Anyone with that level of customer support has my business

That’s for sure

[plush topaz]

They're desperate for rubels bro

They have a war to fight

If a shop I'm buying a gun from won't video call me to hand pick the one I want then I won't shop there

[covert tinsel]

[obsidian wolf]

@muted gate @granite tartan @plush topaz I was so drunk last night I installed my Esstacs on the back of my plate carrier

[granite tartan]

Same

[obsidian wolf]

I wasn’t even supposed to put them on the plate Carrie r

But the chest rig

Ain’t gunna lie

Not vibing with the strap setup

It got tazed instead

Not a fun sound

Just killed a cat and chased 2 small dogs after killing the cat

[granite tartan]

lol

[wind cave]

how did this happen?

wild or someone didnt leash?

[obsidian wolf]

Dog has previously gotten out and killed other animals. Wind blew the gate open. They didn’t lock it….

2 fat tickets

1 each dog

Maybe an additional for failure to maintain a proper enclosure for the aggressive 1

For a total of 3

[wind cave]

hope it changes something

These are pretty gpod

Particularly for how cheap they are

[plush topaz]

Yep

I have like 4 pairs.

For the price of 1 pair of Skd Pig gloves lol

[sand rover]

I keep one on my rig, one in the range bag (which I should really re-evaluate what I have in) and I might get another pair for my belt

I don't really have a go-bag

So I might want to have one

[granite tartan]

Skd pigd are also much nicer

[plush topaz]

They are. Very good gloves. But they're expensive and wear out fast.

[muted gate]

i lost my gloves

am sad

[granite tartan]

Agreed

[plush topaz]

Yeah.

They do

I went through 2 pairs in 1 class

The fingers are useless. My worn* pairs have all their fingers cut off

Not a hard use glove at all

Oakley SI assault/pilot gloves are way tougher.

But not in the same league at all in terms of fit

What do you wear your pig gloves for? Putting on makeup?

[granite tartan]

They do fall apart quick lmfao

Literally everyone on the swat team wears them

they've gone through like 4 in a couple nmonths

K

[plush topaz]

I have a dozen pairs of beater gloves

And they all last longer than pigs

[granite tartan]

why even wear shooting gloves

[plush topaz]

Deployments.

[granite tartan]

That is probably the dumbest thing you've said

[snow scarab]

razor wire sucks if you don’t properly know how to hold it lol

@low fox the type of guy that wears gloves when taking a leak

“It’s more comfortable”

You have a new reputation now

Embrace it

Ok seriously though. There’s no difference. Because when I shoot my pigs tear. Even light bench shooting.

So I barely wear mine anymore I’m sick of replacing them

[granite tartan]

you try the ALPHA pig gloves?

@low fox gotta come hang out in lake congaree

@low fox Bro what the fuck is going on where you work

Fast roping

@low fox

[sand rover]

Who's the canadian from maine? Lol

[plush topaz]

Omg

[sand rover]

I mean, we're basically half Canadian

We're just allowed to have guns

Not really, maine has been around longer than most other states

And is the only state to go to war with canada as far as I know, lol

No, if I remember correctly the fight was called off entirely when people started getting mauled by a bear woken from hibernation

yeah, it boiled down to basically the original treaties to designate the northern border of maine was really shitty in how it was worded

to the point of which when somebody tried to re-assess it in 1831 using scientific and topographic maps and official documents it was so hard he fuckin gave up

kinda a problem cus both canadians and mainers wants to cut lumber in the same areas, and until people figured out where the border was it was illegal for both parties to do so, lol

[plush topaz]

Acadian

[sand rover]

pretty much

[plush topaz]

Do the Acadians in main still speak Acadian French?

They do here

[sand rover]

that's pretty far north so I'm not too sure, but I think so

I live in very southern maine

[plush topaz]

True

[sand rover]

also

"Shouting began, and both sides drew firearms and prepared to fire. As this was occurring, however, a group of three Canadian lumberjacks were unexpectedly attacked by a black bear defending a small nearby cub. Though black bears are native to the area, they typically hibernate by that time of year, confusing the experienced outdoorsmen"

I have over 600 hours in arma. I am a seasoned operator with extensive combat experience. where do I sign? @low fox

[plush topaz]

Another funny 1812 war battle story was when the Americans conquered York (modern Toronto)

[sand rover]

mainers are true shitters

lol

we stick to ourselves 95% of the time

but we'll fuckin push it if you piss us off

[plush topaz]

They showed up with a few galleons or whatever and did an amphibious landing. Completely outnumbered the British who were driven out easily. Unfortunately the armoury blew up and killed a big chunk of the Americans. They then realized the fort was useless and held no value so the Americans left.

[snow scarab]

lmfao

good one

i think it still is

HAHA IT IS

[sand rover]

I think a portion of the community moved to squad

but there are still arma boys out there

[whole vault]

Squad is dying

[sand rover]

still has a player base similar to arma last I checked

decent mod support and all that

[whole vault]

And what do you mean? People would legitimately say that and seriously think they are qualified? @low fox

Oh nevermind thats a rick roll # lol

I am sick of arma @sand rover

Tiem between arma 2 and 3 was like 3 years

Yet its been 10 years since arma 3 was launched

[sand rover]

arma+squad are still fun

but the ability to play similar-ish mil-sim but in a smaller scale has made them less popular

[whole vault]

Arma 4 will reignite the community

[whole vault]

I must have the wrong extension

[sand rover]

should I fuckin do it?

[proud hazel]

for a belt?

[sand rover]

yep

[proud hazel]

seems excessive but you do you

[sand rover]

both pistol pouches mount to one slide, or I can just molle them

[sand rover]

I do have a chest rig I could slap them on

[proud hazel]

why not the esstac stuff

[sand rover]

such as?

[proud hazel]

https://esstac.com/2011-5-56-1-2-side-by-side-kywi-shorty/

[sand rover]

oh, as far as rifle mag pouches go I swap platforms often

[proud hazel]

oh so you want like the gcode then

i get it now

go for it

[sand rover]

yep, also the pistol pouches could technically be from almost anybody

[proud hazel]

yup

i like the kywi but thats just me

[sand rover]

but the g-code ones have the same mounting system, so if I wanted to I can swap what the setup is

without getting more kit

their holsters, pistol pouches, and rifle pouchs in both soft or hard case fit on the same mounts

can can be stacked double or triple deep if you really wanted to

like, if you put them on a carrier

on paper, it seems really nice

[low fox]

get it bro i think those little stretch pouches are better than the garbage airsoft stuff they sell nowadays

and they tuck in very nicely when empty

good choice

[dusk plover]

sucks

[plush topaz]

@granite tartan so I withdrew my order for the tube

I'm getting a different one

[granite tartan]

Y

[plush topaz]

My buddy got frustrated they sent the wrong tube and told me this other shops tubes were much better for less money

So I'll get the helmet mounts from my buddy but the tube from a diff shop. Still 2 weeks out.

[raw river]

@obsidian wolf

Yes I got ranger green cause it was less expensive

@granite tartan what pouch do u have for your xts

[granite tartan]

one you cant use

[raw river]

did you get it from work or some shit

[snow scarab]

he uses an mbitr pouch

[stuck hazel]

the double mag pouches pain me

[raw river]

Eh I can draw from em easily and they don't impede my movement changing firing positions

[snow scarab]

i can’t run it with side plates

[raw river]

Oh I thought u were being a smartass lol

[snow scarab]

unless i move them back a bit

@low fox do you run side plates? if so what position

[raw river]

It's your SHTF rig right

Is that a knife or a shovel

[snow scarab]

[snow scarab]

i was extremely cause i was tiny until my sophomore year

then i grew 6 inches in 3 months

kek

i might just move that one side back and see how it feels when i get side plates

[raw river]

Maybe sure it's on the same side you plug your p2t into your headset

[snow scarab]

yeah i know

[raw river]

Does your carrier have loops on the side to run your cable in

[snow scarab]

no it doesn’t. only real downside of the SPC

[raw river]

Damn

[snow scarab]

but i’m gonna run my PTT on my cummerbund and route wires through the inside of the plate bag

[raw river]

Thank God mine does speaking of which I need to get a p2t

I'm hoping a milsurp store has a radio pouch

If not I can just go to us patriot

[snow scarab]

but the crye one or run their MBITR pouch

@granite tartan any rig can technically run the airlite pouch

[raw river]

I don't have a jpc

[granite tartan]

Any rig can run it

[snow scarab]

doesn’t matter, you have velcro

you can run it

[raw river]

Gonna run it here

[snow scarab]

[coarse laurel]

people in ranger school lose like 35+lbs at the end on average

especially during the summer in the georgia heat and the swamps of florida

mountain phase you lose it through burning calories climbing shit

hell even working here i dropped some pounds, went on a 5 mile boot run yesterday, felt good

[snow scarab]

she’s… difficult

[snow scarab]

oh no she does. she just makes really good mexican and japanese food even tho she isn’t japanese

i haven’t had any japanese yet

[raw river]

[snow scarab]

it’s concerning, ik

[raw river]

how can you cook japanese when 90% of their dishes ARE RAMEN

[coarse laurel]

Garmont T8 NFS (Need for speed) haha

its the best for running on boots

[snow scarab]

[coarse laurel]

lol have you actually run 5 miles on uneven ground on those?

[snow scarab]

[coarse laurel]

nikes make rope climbing easy

but i wouldnt use it outside of that

i did the darby queen for fun the other day, i fuckin mastered the weaver @snow scarab

holy fuck, it turns out motherfuckers were just overthinking it

[raw river]

are you not allowed to use feet on the rope climb

[coarse laurel]

you can

some skinny folks find it easier to not use their feet

[raw river]

i was 200-205 even after boot idk what being skinny is

[twilit cape]

i was like 188

[coarse laurel]

i dont either lol, i was 163 when i came out of OSUT

[raw river]

the military hates tall people

[twilit cape]

the most skinny ive ever been in my life

[snow scarab]

yeah but you’re also like 5’3

[snow scarab]

can fucking confirm

[raw river]

so mike sized

[snow scarab]

they want to shove my ass in an abrams

[raw river]

arent you like 5'11

[snow scarab]

6’4

[raw river]

how tf are you 130

[coarse laurel]

tall people are common in the armor world

dude, half the 19A's ive meet are 6ft +

[snow scarab]

tf

i’m not 130

i weigh 190

[coarse laurel]

the abrams is alot larger inside than you think

[snow scarab]

probably

[coarse laurel]

if anything its the most spacious tank in the world

[raw river]

i could have sworn you said u were 130

[snow scarab]

my girl is 130

[twilit cape]

I was 6,2

[snow scarab]

that’s what you might be thinking of

[coarse laurel]

and ive been in some cramped ass tanks like the K1A1

or the K2 black panther

[snow scarab]

i still don’t wanna be in a tank lol

he also hates America

[coarse laurel]

he straight up said it to some fat medic working in the pentagon TMC

[snow scarab]

i mainly don’t wanna be in a tank cause it’s not interesting to me. i would rather hump around a 240

[coarse laurel]

he also then proceeded to break tape

lol u got needs of the army'd

[snow scarab]

not even bro

[raw river]

so youd rather fuck up your knees than your hearing

[snow scarab]

a dude going ROTC got 11b and i might be able to take his spot

[coarse laurel]

@raw river funny enough, the gun isnt as loud inside the tank than it is being outside

[misty mango]

weren't thry built for asians though

they tend to be a good bit shorter

[raw river]

what about the vibrations?

[snow scarab]

they apparently went from top to bottom when handing out jobs in alphabetical order

[coarse laurel]

its the autolader system that makes the whole thing cramped

for msot tanks

[misty mango]

i didnt realise it has an autoloader

thats neat

[snow scarab]

the abrams is one of the few tanks that doesn’t have an auto loader

[coarse laurel]

turns out manual loading is faster

[misty mango]

a lot of western MBT's dont

[snow scarab]

and safer

[raw river]

since when do abrams have auto loaders

[coarse laurel]

dude the faster loader we had can sling rounds in 3 seconds flat

[snow scarab]

no most of them do

[misty mango]

[twilit cape]

@coarse laurel did you get to be a loader at all ?

[muted gate]

and an autoloader doesnt get tired

[misty mango]

because i know full well the big names in Europe don't

[snow scarab]

most all of europe uses an auto loader

[misty mango]

the leo has a manual loader

[muted gate]

Japanese loader is 4.7 or 5.3 in the best conditions iirc

[snow scarab]

i just named the 3 best tanks in europe

[coarse laurel]

ive loaded tanks to qualify and i can do it at 4 at my fastest but its tirning as fuck @twilit cape

[snow scarab]

nope

[coarse laurel]

i got my tanker boots

and my belt buckle

lmao

[snow scarab]

i gained weight in OSUT

[twilit cape]

Nice

[snow scarab]

like 15 pounds

[coarse laurel]

also why i got my ballcap too

[muted gate]

thats my point tho, you get tired

[twilit cape]

Sabot was pretty easy

Mpat wasn’t bad but the heat round was tall so it was kinda a bitch

[coarse laurel]

APFSDS baby

[muted gate]

I always use the japanese Type90 vid as an example
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePHUcWsxZDg

[misty mango]

the 2a7 still has a manual loader

[coarse laurel]

we did sling some older rounds in korea for a sustainment gunnery those were fuckin heavy

[raw river]

APHE
APFSDS
APFSDSBCHEBC
BESH

[misty mango]

most countries still use the 2a6

and the current challengers dont

[proud hazel]

HEAT

[muted gate]

no leopard in service has an autoloader

[misty mango]

even the challenger 3 wont have an autoloader

[muted gate]

Chally 3 doesnt have one as its overweight already as the 2

and now they slapped 10 extra tons of shitwithout fixing the powerplant issues

[misty mango]

the leclerc has one but its french so noone actually gives a fuck

[twilit cape]

Abrams is so sweet miss it

[raw river]

lets not talk tanks before one of you war thunder nerds leak classified info again

[misty mango]

british engineering

[coarse laurel]

Before I left we rescued this old school abrams to restore it and use it as a display

It has the old 105mm

[misty mango]

jeez

[muted gate]

oh shit an M1

[misty mango]

thats an old gal

[twilit cape]

Nice

[coarse laurel]

Yes she is

Giving it a make over

As a display piece, top tank gets their name put on it

[muted gate]

yall know if its an M1 or M1IP

[coarse laurel]

its a legit first gen M1 with the serial number being in the first 300's

[misty mango]

looks like an m1

[muted gate]

lmao

where did yall dig that one out of

[misty mango]

the ip turret is slightly different iirc

[muted gate]

Ip is a longer turret

but i couldnt tell from the angle

[coarse laurel]

germany lol, shipped it all the way to fort bliss tx

[muted gate]

ill say again

[coarse laurel]

apparently it was one of ours

when my unit was stationed in germany

[muted gate]

where the fuck did that thing crawl out of

[coarse laurel]

a long time ago

it still has the analog controls

which was wild

[muted gate]

i need photos lmao

[coarse laurel]

i only took a photo of the outside lol

that fucking thing was stripped

and theres asbestos inside

[muted gate]

yeah

if its first 300 its 1980

[coarse laurel]

getting it moving required us to take out the final drive shafts, so it can be safely towed by the m88 recovery vehicles

took forever

[muted gate]

im guessing it was drained before it was left

[coarse laurel]

try undoing bolts that were rusted for 20+ years

yup

[muted gate]

I wish i could find photos of the old 50th abrams

only one i can find is an alamy night training photo of the 102nd

[coarse laurel]

@snow scarab ask if you can be a scout

its a good middle ground

hahahah

lots of small unit tactics, you shoot more guns than an infantryman but you carry way more to last you weeks

and you actually play with explosives

so you get the best of both worlds

[snow scarab]

dats what i want to do lol

[coarse laurel]

in osut they do demo with C4's and breaching charges, claymores as well

claymores are a big thing for scouts especially

[snow scarab]

god i love claymores

[raw river]

until they come to tarkov

imagine dorms with claymores

[muted gate]

i cannot wait for that

i want CS gas as well

[verbal karma]

Dorms is interesting in a two or three man

[misty mango]

wrong channel

[dawn coyote]

TRUEEE

💀

[granite tartan]

Get lowas

Salomon’s aren’t that great. I’ve owned two pairs of Salomon’s

One I blew threw the goretex liner in a week. The other pay unironically held up well from the abuse.

Bet those are my Salomon crosses

Also, what exactly are you going to be using the boots for

[whole vault]

So the thing about Lowas, the Zephyr's are EXTREMELY narrow. I had a pair and I really wanted them to fit but my feet were way too wide. Had to go back to Salomon's

I have the Salomon Quest 4D which I think is pretty similar. They are very comfortable

[granite tartan]

You have to measure your feet

They make three models

Wide narrow and normal

You might’ve also gotten a boot too big xyz

[whole vault]

The Lowas dont come in wide for some models

[granite tartan]

The zephyr they do

[whole vault]

Oh well maybe I needed an ultra wide, I forget

[granite tartan]

The built construction of Salomon’s are kinda shitty now

And the contagrip falls apart fast

[whole vault]

They were bought by the Chinese upstream in 2015ish I think

[granite tartan]

Prolly

@whole vault zephyr mk2 are releasing soon

I’m going to grab another pair

I have two Salomon’s and and two lowas

[whole vault]

This is what I bought in ranger green before the Salomon's

https://www.rei.com/product/881272/lowa-zephyr-gtx-mid-tf-hiking-boots-mens

Didnt see a wide. If the mk2 has a wide Ill check them out again

[granite tartan]

Then get some lowa innox

Or some trail running shoes

Fuck honestly, cleated trail running shoes are goated

Salomon speed cross 6 are dank

[stuck hazel]

Ngl lowas are really well priced

My miltec shit kickers have held up really well to say how much I’ve used them

But seeing this conversation and seeing the pricing on the zephyrs

Prolly a nab

[granite tartan]

The gen 2 zephyrs coming out soon

And they’re a little overbuilt for what you need them for

I’d rather get a more flexible shoe

[obsidian wolf]

@granite tartan mp5 mags have postive retetion on Kiwis

[granite tartan]

Gross

[stuck hazel]

Any recommendations on that front?

[granite tartan]

Lowa innox

Or trail runners

9/10 you don’t need boots

[plush topaz]

I have xa forces and quest 4d. My 4d's are 14 years old and are still mint

[stuck hazel]

when do you need boots?

my logic is that shits always wet miserable and muddy where im at

[timber fog]

Sounds like a good excuse to get some boots

[granite tartan]

Extreme adverse

Inclines uneven terrain

[plush topaz]

i have both depending on where i'm going and what i'm doing

but for hiking shoes (low tops) i don't think i'll ever get waterproof again. They just take too long to dry out

[granite tartan]

Based in

[muted gate]

[raw river]

Either way I spend hundreds on baby wipes

[stuck hazel]

What normal electronic ear pro can be disassembled from overhead to helmet use?

[snow scarab]

like to be put back together?

comtac v and vi can be reassembled pretty easily, but any comtac can have the headband torn apart but only v and vi can go back

[granite tartan]

Amps and comtacs

[elder forum]

Tryna get me a ghillie suit for fun (living in Kentucky) but they are expensive ash or weird lookin

[plush topaz]

@granite tartan @snow scarab which is better

[misty mango]

cumtac

[elder forum]

got alot of things I want ngl

defender-2 replica, some nods

5.11 gloves

funny ghillie suit

[snow scarab]

comtacs overall

[elder forum]

some bitches

[snow scarab]

amps are way too expensive for what they are now

brand new comtac v and vi are like a grand with downleads

or you can buy hearing defender v’s for 600-650, and then pay 250 for the comms stuff

[elder forum]

hmh

thing im asking rn is

the defender-2 replica from grey shop looks really good but the shipping 😭

any cheaper options that are still half decent

[granite tartan]

Comtac Vi

The V isn’t anywhere as nice as the VI

Amps you still need to buy downleads which are like $1-300

[light ridge]

The headband on my Howard Leights was coming apart anyways, so I disassembled them to put on my helmet. I need to figure out where to fasten the wiring so that I don't run into any issues with them down or back.

[plush topaz]

Interesting diy

[low fox]

the DSA arms SBR is so sexy

[low fox]

[light ridge]

It is! I wish mine was an SBR lol. 21" fixed stock pig too big for my stubby arms

[snow scarab]

it’s just how the FAL looks

[snow scarab]

and velocity back panel

[echo jay]

I see shovl escaped Lawrence without my assistance

[snow scarab]

[echo jay]

Shovl needs radio so he can call me at work

Break into short range motorola radio

[snow scarab]

i have a crye airlite pouch but i might actually run it external or behind my back

i’m moving the ifak back that’s for sure

Good attitude to have though if you leave off the telling people to stfu. Be your own man, do what makes you happy

Take it easy

Boo hoo welcome to the internet

or smth like that

[timber linden]

I’m sorry that your parents let you roam free on discord at your age

[twin creek]

still asking incase there are any other options out there worth considering

[timber linden]

Very specific, are you implying I was dropped into a hospital or that I was dropped at the hospital

Lmao alright

Antonov that didn’t answer my question

It’s honestly really sad this is the norm.

[snow scarab]

says you

[timber fog]

Ouch

[snow scarab]

false

[timber fog]

Looks like I popped in at a good time

[timber linden]

[snow scarab]

[timber linden]

He’s coming out

[snow scarab]

[timber linden]

Antonov is typing and I’m excited to see what that brilliant philosopher will bestow upon us peasants

Antonov give us your wisdom

[snow scarab]

that’s what i thought

[timber linden]

Very nice Antonov thank you

Everybody please take note

This is the prophecy

The second coming of Christ has arrived

[barren kettle]

we made that note a while ago man dont worry

[timber linden]

It’s done been noted Antonov

Reveal the future to us oh great prophet

[barren kettle]

dont do that

[timber fog]

You guys are fucked up, that’s a literal child

[barren kettle]

hes like 40 arguing with you on discord, tells you everything you need to know bud

dont let him get you down

[timber linden]

Lmao yes Blake reward this behavior

[timber fog]

Kids are cringe sometimes who cares

[barren kettle]

you literally made fun of him for sitting in his room?

how are you helping his behavior?

you said he smeared his shit on the wall

and then made fun of him for not having a father figure

[timber linden]

Nobody made fun of him for not having a father

[barren kettle]

you egged him on

dont act like you didnt do shit

[timber linden]

Cry about it more

[timber fog]

I’m not gonna fault the kid for being a kid, but as men y’all should do better

This is sad

[barren kettle]

it really is, especially coming from the guy who was crying the other day that people are too mean in this server 🤣

but thats what sad people like him do so oh well

[timber fog]

The cherry on top of the irony sundae

[timber linden]

Nobody said it was mean 🤣

We said you LARP

Which you do Blake

[barren kettle]

ah yes i forgot you know anything about me 👍

[timber linden]

You mad people don’t take you seriously 😂

[barren kettle]

god you are so dumb its funny 🤣

[timber linden]

As they shouldn’t

The child just wants attention

This channel is unhinged 🤣

[timber fog]

Which is the thing: not everyone moves the same, and it’d be ridiculous to assume that they will

Especially for a kid

It’s one thing if it’s one of the regulars here

But there’s a reason we don’t see many new regulars

[timber linden]

Because it’s a LARP fest? 🤣

[timber fog]

Sure, whatever that means

[timber linden]

This is just a funny way to kill time tbh

See what you started by giving this behavior attention

[timber fog]

I don’t mean this the wrong way, but I’m not sure you’re going to get the reaction you want from him or anyone here little homie

You shouldn’t quit what you like because some strangers were assholes on the internet tho

We’re all just pixels on a screen here

[timber linden]

You care way too much about the opinions of random people Antonov

Im not going to be your therapist and encourage this temper tantrum for attention

Please stop pinging me, thanks.

[timber fog]

😂😂😂

This kid’s a savage

[timber linden]

I just blocked him
