combats?

👀

[verbal karma]

I ordered them as cheap camping meals and now I'm just snacking on them because they're tasty

[granite tartan]

you have the new pads?

[verbal karma]

I'm looking at the Team Wendy Zorbium pads

depends on what my AS200 comes with

[granite tartan]

Why not the 4d pads

[quasi pilot]

Yall are the first people ever to see Walter white Jr with a usec

[plush topaz]

[granite tartan]

I winced

This caused me physical pain

[timber fog]

They’re both cool

Multicam for practicality tho

Mix and match for extra drip

[snow scarab]

m81 for sex appeal, multicam for actual use

[stuck hazel]

Multicam done well is unrivalled

[snow scarab]

there isn’t one

[stuck hazel]

No.

[snow scarab]

you mean tropic?

[stuck hazel]

Tropic is Uber gay

There are versions online made by randoms but

To my knowledge it ain’t real

Arid is acceptable

Another camo that needs to be done well

MCBLK is tight on occasion

[stuck hazel]

Imo tropic is an airsoft camo

It’s main benifit is a darker colour palet, which has applications but really doesn’t outshine multicam overall as a camo

Yeah multicam can be too light

But this is why full multicam is a bad idea

OD is the antidote to multicam

That’s the least cool guy opinion I’ve heard

Ever

RG is baller as fuck

RG is how I get the dark onto my kit, I need to invest in some foliage/further camouflage though for woodland shenanigans

I don’t actually own any tan gear so I might need to check that out

[timber fog]

Brown’s underrated as far as solid colors go

[plush topaz]

That hurt

[timber fog]

I’m not a big fan of tropic either

One or two pieces in a kit isn’t bad

[plush topaz]

Fuck you guys

[stuck hazel]

Tropic is what tropic is

[plush topaz]

I'm tropic af

[stuck hazel]

If you have an application for tropic

[timber fog]

Tropic clothes

[stuck hazel]

Cant comment on this

[stuck hazel]

Who gets shot at the most here

[plush topaz]

Tropic with ranger green

[plush topaz]

👋

[stuck hazel]

Talk plates

[stuck hazel]

Why not just multicam

Makes me want to cry

[timber fog]

I don’t think it looks bad there

Not my first choice personally but I don’t hate it

[plush topaz]

Honestly? Because mc is too popular

That's literally the only reason I got tropic

[stuck hazel]

Good a reason as any

[plush topaz]

I like to be unique

[timber fog]

Relatable

[stuck hazel]

Shame ATACs is ruski shit otherwise

That’s kinda tight

But I refuse to associate

[timber fog]

Camo is camo, who cares

Shame ATACS shit is so hard to find if anything

[stuck hazel]

That’s a point

ATACs FG is unobtainium

[timber fog]

Seriously

I mean, the fabric is available

[snow scarab]

LTC, highcom, VISM surprisingly

[timber fog]

But I don’t have a sewing machine so

[stuck hazel]

I’m just gonna invest in some 3D camo shit and some more multicam gear and call it a day

[timber fog]

Real

When mom says we have ATACS iX at home

[stuck hazel]

Tropic works, but it’s not necessary

[snow scarab]

fuck you, the plate frame is growing on me

[stuck hazel]

Neither is arid tbh but that looks cooler

[snow scarab]

but i can’t justify the price at all

[timber fog]

Maybe, but at least it looks good

[snow scarab]

marines ruined themselves

also i can’t justify that price

[timber fog]

Marpat’s been growing on me recently

[snow scarab]

how many plate frames do you have

[timber fog]

Trade the larp camo for solid black and then we’re talking

[snow scarab]

and can you send me one if you have an extra?

[misty mango]

black bad

grey>

[snow scarab]

rucker

[timber fog]

That’s pretty baller ngl

[stuck hazel]

The most baller kit

[snow scarab]

that poor can. tf have you done to it

jesus fuck

[granite tartan]

no

let me see the can

this friday

COME

SHOOT

I WANT TO SEE THAT MCSX

[snow scarab]

i don’t think he has it back yet

[verbal karma]

Question: why is Wagner so dumb with their implementation of a cool idea like this

two sensors so it can only pick up radiation from half the directions
auditory warning

You could probably do a better version of this with a 3D printer and some IR remote control diodes

Looks like it has the option for either rattle or a light and that plus audio

[granite tartan]

its got a vibrate

[verbal karma]

Is there some video of it vibrating?

The selector seems to show off and three modes

[plush topaz]

Where should they put it

[verbal karma]

I mean putting it on the helmet isn't a bad idea

just everything else

rather than vibrate and speak it should have vibrate and some sort of downlead or NFC to a bracelet or visual display

it should have more sensors to get detection from every direction

perhaps identification/warning of type of detection

[low fox]

beautiful

[plush topaz]

🙌

[pastel cipher]

I assume the auditory warning is on account of humans reacting fastest to sound out of all stimuli, if someone is painting you with a laser 20ms may well mean the difference between life and death.

[misty mango]

and audio isnt too much of an issue
if someone is pointing something at you for it to pick up
youre no longer quiet

might not hear it in a gunfight unless it links to electronic earpro

[stuck hazel]

it might be all you hear in a gunfight

the amount of shit that uses IR

imagine walking past a security camera and your helmet starts telling you some ones pointing a gun at you

[misty mango]

someones gopro💀

[stuck hazel]

lol

[hexed talon]

Americans already have it, sensors are fine they can pick up most directions bit like a TV remote. I'm developing one myself

[hexed talon]

It's detecting different wavelength on the IR BAND. Camera won't set it off

Looks like someone forgot how radiation works

[verbal karma]

Aiming lasers and LIDAR systems are known frequencies

You can bias the diodes for detection in the low 800nm range below 850nm

Or set a power threshold

As an 830nm aiming laser will dump more power into it than an 850nm LED

For LIDAR systems things get a bit tricky as they use radio frequencies

But with a calibrated antenna you could detect phase shifted pulses in the range of a lidar system

It gets tricky though

As a lot of these frequencies overlap each other

So a wifi router could set off your system telling you you’re getting ranged

Or a high power IR light for a security camera could push the diode over its detection threshold and generate a false IR warning

A system like this would definitely be more useful in rural environments than urban ones for sure

[stuck hazel]

...

Security cameras have IR illuminators.

[verbal karma]

Personally I think something more useful would be a radar/wifi detector

[muted gate]

not all IR is the same

[verbal karma]

Something with antennas rather than diodes calibrated to detect and even possibly jam wifi and lidar type high frequency phase shift keying

[verbal karma]

I mean yes and no

[stuck hazel]

shit neverminded i missed the bit where he said "wavelength"

my bad completely

[muted gate]

again, i get the idea

[verbal karma]

Most IR sources are between 820 and 850nm

[muted gate]

but it seems to have a really specific use case that isnt viable for line inf

[stuck hazel]

Infrared is just on the higher frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum

[verbal karma]

Output power detection is the only real way to differentiate between an 850nm security camera and an 850nm weapon light

Lasers tend to be on the lower end towards 830nm

[stuck hazel]

the frequency of an IR laser is not necessarily different to the frequency of an IR illuminator on a camera

[verbal karma]

But there’s only so much biasing you can get on a diode

Any system that just detects IR radiation would most certainly pick up other sources

[pastel cipher]

frankly, picking up that a security camera has line of sight on you sounds pretty damn useful as well.

[verbal karma]

Tbh an IR detector isn’t useful when you have some form of NV

What’s more useful is a PSK jammer tuned for wifi and lidar bands

[muted gate]

I fully get the idea of why people would want it. But IR lasers don't seem to be a massive thing when it comes to line infantry outside of America.

On top of the fact that I or lasers would really only be used during night time for very specific operations. And if I have night vision I can see their laser

[verbal karma]

Exactly

I want drone and LRF detect

Which a wifi pineapple could totally be used for lol

Maybe not LRF

But def drones

[muted gate]

problem i forsee with any jammer is tracking it back to the jammer

which from what i know is fairly easy

[whole vault]

you should look at the HackRF One

if you are into that shit

https://greatscottgadgets.com/hackrf/one/

[verbal karma]

I have an SDR

[whole vault]

oh nice

[verbal karma]

Been working with my grandpa to use it to turn a raspi into a NOAA station

[whole vault]

very cool

I want to get my HAM radio license in the future

[verbal karma]

Though I also want to get another and a surface tablet and take them out to one of those milsim events to run EW

[whole vault]

lol

[verbal karma]

Be kinda funny to use direction finding and wide spectrum SDR monitoring to listen to and direction find their comms

Right now I’m trying to get my local group all on the same page as far as comms plans

Tell a buddy “hey wanna go run bounding and react to contact drills this weekend?” and he’ll usually say yes

Tell a buddy “hey wanna test out our radio range and comms plan?” and watch as he literally falls asleep

[plush topaz]

Useful but not necessary

[verbal karma]

Imagine willingly doxxing yourself to the FCC

Also the same can be said about gym

Ask your anti-government friends if they want to go shoot and they always say yes

Ask them if they want to go to the gym and listen to the excuses flowwww

Terminally DYEL friends

[timber fog]

Makes a lot more sense to set up something like this as an irregular fighter than any sort of jamming system imo

[verbal karma]

Yes

But also wifi and lidar based systems present a greater threat than any rifle in a modern battlefield

As we’ve seen in Ukraine

Wifi jamming may just save you from having a VOG dropped on your head by a Mavik

Lidar detection/jamming could save your position from artillery or accurate RPG fire

These are especially important if you’re fighting a force that uses a more asymmetric doctrine

Such as Ukrainians who don’t use radios at the individual level as much

Or when you’re fighting a superior force like say [redacted] who use encrypted radios

[timber linden]

That’s a ban

[verbal karma]

I mean

A lot of groups use encrypted radios

Including some of the more gucci larpers

There’s a dude here who spent several hundred dollars on a used police radio so he could use digital radio stuff

[timber fog]

They can encrypt all they want, they’re still detectable and can be located

[timber fog]

And while this is a good point, like someone else already mentioned it makes you a lot more locatable

[verbal karma]

I mean

You can have passive detection then active denial

If there’s a drone close enough to drop a grenade on your head he already knows where you are

[timber fog]

That part

I see the application, just seems more of a liability than an advantage for an irregular fighter

[verbal karma]

Knowing context of use is important

[timber fog]

Of course, situation dictates everything

[verbal karma]

If you’re in a fixed position that’s easy to locate you benefit more from active denial

If you’re low profile, on the move, recon, etc

You need no active signature

So radio silence, passive detection, etc

[timber fog]

But you probably wouldn’t want to be in a position like that at all outside of a force-on-force conflict

[verbal karma]

Ukraine is a force-on-force conflict

I’m sure people stuffed in trenches and told to hold the line would really benefit from active EW denial systems

[timber fog]

Yeah, those guys probably would

[spare spindle]

BSG please

[snow scarab]

fuckinv gross

[spare spindle]

maybe, but looks at that rail un der the 6 vents
We could have front grips with long barrel/handguard

[snow scarab]

ok?

it’s based off an sl8

is it not?

[muted gate]

i actually like it

[snow scarab]

@granite tartan did you say you had experience with the Roll 1 from ferro? or know somebody who did?

[granite tartan]

Yeah why

[snow scarab]

recommend it?

might pick it up and the rest of the medical i need

[granite tartan]

i think you should do a fanny

That seems to be the way tio go

[snow scarab]

we’ve been over this

fanny doesn’t fit my needs

i’m not a medic

[granite tartan]

What are you trying to fit

[snow scarab]

chest seal, israeli, quikclot gauze

that’s all i need

[granite tartan]

a fanny will fit that

[snow scarab]

yes i know. but i don’t need soemthing as big as a damn fanny pack

[granite tartan]

Idk, I don’t like the idea of something you can lay on and it’s hard to get too

@snow scarab just asked the sof medic

He said

“No it’s gay”

[snow scarab]

you can always reach the roll one

[granite tartan]

Then buy it

I’m just regurgitating what he’s telling me

https://youtu.be/_SUGxuZq-Pg

[coarse laurel]

This is why I stick with the blow out ifak on my belt

Reaching for shit on the prone ain’t the way to go

[granite tartan]

What do you use

[coarse laurel]

I’ve been using the blue force ifak for awhile now

The one with the pull string

Granted as a medic I have class 8’s handy on my other pouches

[granite tartan]

I switched to a cro fanny

[coarse laurel]

I have stuff on my dangler, and my HRT Maximus pouches

As well

Hemo and airway stuff, anything else I wouldn’t dare do on the X itself

[snow scarab]

i feel like below your back plate bag is pretty easy to reach

[coarse laurel]

It’s infuriating seeing motherfuckers try to do anything outside of a TQ on the X

Good luck trying to stuff that wound a few feet away from the bad guys

[granite tartan]

[coarse laurel]

Teaching TCCC is a part of my job

Trying to educate rock eaters on how to keep their buddies alive

[snow scarab]

this. i mean realistically if it’s not limb based then the medic is taking care of it

[coarse laurel]

Best medicine is fire superiority

[snow scarab]

ong

[coarse laurel]

Fire superiority means you can get the casualty out to the next level of care

Whether if it’s a casualty collection point or hell if you are a cop back outside to people who knows wtf they are doing

Etc

[snow scarab]

also @granite tartan the belt/back side IFAK isn’t for you anyways

if you need to do anything to yourself it’s only TQ and that should be easily accessible

[granite tartan]

That’s crazy

I also run a Fanny

[snow scarab]

yes we know, you overpaid for a fanny pack

[muted gate]

went down a rabbit hole of my old refs

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1p7IRGTnno

fuckin cool

[granite tartan]

You also work at a gas station

[snow scarab]

uh huh

you and TRA have a lot in common you know that?

[granite tartan]

?

[snow scarab]

absolutely despise the actually affordable stuff and only recommend the unreachable expensive stuff

and if you don’t like it, it’s fucking terrible and shouldn’t be touched

[plush topaz]

Yup. That’s him alright.

Epitome of arrogance and ignorance

It’s why we love him

[muted gate]

I'm gonna completely sidebar this entire bitch fast. So I went down my royal Hong Kong regiment rabbit hole again. Why the fuck is it after I stop looking for information and put a project on the back burner all of the information I could never find materializes in front of me.

[snow scarab]

uhhhh science

that’s why

[granite tartan]

what i was going to reccomend you is the spiritus fanny

Which is half the price of the roll 1

actually

I did tell you to get it

in this instance i was going to tell you to get the spiritus

[granite tartan]

That is me

Ignorant no, arrogant yes

[snow scarab]

a fanny in general doesn’t fit my needs. i’ve been talking to the unit i’m headed to on SOPs and they won’t allow me to wear a fanny

belt or plate carrier is fine

[granite tartan]

BFG micro trauma now plus

[plush topaz]

Damn. How come

[snow scarab]

doesn’t necessarily work well with bradley’s

they don’t want us absolutely fucking up our backs/ taking up room for rucks in the brad

[plush topaz]

Oh. Makes sense

[snow scarab]

and anyways, it would be a lot of wasted space

i only need chest seal, quikclot, israeli in it

[granite tartan]

then get a MTKN

Whydo you want something so large

[snow scarab]

only thing i’m missing ATM is quikclot

[snow scarab]

is the roll one really that large?

ik it’s plate width

[granite tartan]

its pretty bigh

very ineficient

and cant one hand open it

[snow scarab]

well i’m not using it when injured

i’ll have two hands for it

[granite tartan]

i vote microtrauma now

the plus one

[muted gate]

I like the BFG micro+ and a boo boo kit in my bag

[snow scarab]

i’m putting a boo boo kit in my dangler

if i do the ferro roll 1, it would take place of a belt ifak

or i do a belt ifak and no roll 1

the roll kinda acts like lumbar support when in a vehicle

[plush topaz]

you wear vests in your vehicles?

im usually naked

[snow scarab]

yes

anybody got anywhere i can buy CATs and quikclot a bit cheaper?

[granite tartan]

NAR

[proud hazel]

i have used the roll one a fair bit

i like it, but you cant fit shears in it

[snow scarab]

thoughts on it?

[snow scarab]

i have them stuck in my TRMP

easy access

[proud hazel]

just tucks under your back plate and cant tell its there

its pretty good tbh

[snow scarab]

would you recommend it over the micro BFG for a basics kit?

israeli bandage, quikclot gauze, chest seal

[proud hazel]

probably not

too expensive

[snow scarab]

ok

[lethal trellis]

whats the best chest rig for ak mags?

or does anyone know where i can get a smersh rig in stock??

[timber linden]

I have immortalized you Antonov

[plush topaz]

Good old chicom

[granite tartan]

Chicom beloved

[stuck hazel]

Would unironically run a chicom over any 5.11 rig

[proud hazel]

5.11 is also Not very good

And not same

[plush topaz]

I wear my chicom over my Spiritus with the placard removed

It slaps

[stuck hazel]

the chicom isnt good, but its better than any 5.11 rig is what im saying

[granite tartan]

Chicom is great

My beloved

[misty mango]

turn thw chicom into a placard

[plush topaz]

@granite tartan what is it with Israeli carriers using these ridiculous cummerbunds

[granite tartan]

Dude Idefk

[plush topaz]

That's the marom dolphin commando

Also a current issue carrier

[stuck hazel]

cummerbunds are so tricky

i honestly dont know how i feel about my two band

whats everyone rocking atm?

[granite tartan]

Jpc skeletal

[whole vault]

No

NightForce & Vortex

And eotech

[muted gate]

which one

ive got their 4x clone

not bad

its technically a japanese clone with a "retro" rebrand

[timber fog]

Would unironically rather run a chicom than 90% of chest rigs on the market

Chicoms are timeless

[granite tartan]

Devious even

[sand rover]

Could always get a carrier/ molle rig, and put your own pouches on it

[granite tartan]

@low fox how bad does it suck to get hit with a taser

I’m getting tased on Friday

I’m not excite

Fuck

@low fox idk why the fuck

Aaah

What I’ve heard

I don’t even have a bad pain tolerance

I’m just very pain adverse

Idk why it’s odd

no way you got your supply guy to get you that

[white marten]

SL and above only rn, first shipment we got in like 3 years. Had to turn my last pair back in lol

[snow scarab]

fuck dude

still pretty nice

meanwhile i’m tryna find some V’s to buy so i don’t have to worry about turning any in lol

[sand rover]

Out of curiousity, how much do you have to pay on ear pro for them to not be in mono?

[snow scarab]

wdym mono? like the amplification?

it’s a bit

[sand rover]

how much is a bit?

[snow scarab]

i mean comtacs are gonna run anywhere from 350-1100

sordins are a bit cheaper

wanna say 300 range

[sand rover]

unless it were a professional setting binaural seems like a nice to have feature

for civilians

not a must have

so idk if it's really something I'd feel the need to spring for

[desert solstice]

I want body armor but i dont need body armor

Should I buy body armor?

[sand rover]

LFG to larp with

[whole vault]

If it is currently outside your budget just go with a chest rig

[desert solstice]

Any recommendations?

[whole vault]

You can always just attach it to your plate carrier as a front placard if you end up getting one in the future. I have a spiritus micro fight mk 5 and I have the straps to use it alone, or I can attach it to the front of my crye jpc 2. One downside to the spiritus micro fight is that it can only hold about 3 mags, but it is pretty modular. Other people here may have other opinions

Other brands are haley strategic

[misty mango]

mayflower 🙏

[granite tartan]

Comtacs will run you 600-1100

Depends if you want the new tech or not

Dual lead comtacs are designed to use two radios. You wouldn’t want stereo or mono binaural audio with that

[raw river]

Getting tazed only hurts for a few seconds it's the pepper spray that lasts 30+ minutes

@stuck hazel explain the spc

To me

And why people simp for it

Cause it doesn’t do anything that great. And it still puts the load on your shoulder

[snow scarab]

what

[snow scarab]

mf ain’t you the one that fucking loves the thing

also it doesn’t put the load in your shoulders if you fit it right

[granite tartan]

It doesn’t do anything that a normal cummerbund doesn’t do

Literally

[granite tartan]

Why dafug you think I sold it bought a jpc

The thing is massive and doesn’t sit right unless you’re like 230lbs

[snow scarab]

i mean kind of does. holds it off your body more, allows more room for running internal radios even without the crye pouch. plus if you have it fit right it’s fucking amazing to wear

[snow scarab]

pffffft what

[granite tartan]

The venting is nice

Okay show a picture of you wearing it

[snow scarab]

sits exactly where it needs to

all 4 plates in the correct position and height

[granite tartan]

How tall are you?

[snow scarab]

6’4

190

[granite tartan]

There ya go

[snow scarab]

how does that work at all 😂

[granite tartan]

It’s a very large fitted carrier

[snow scarab]

it’s completely normal plate bags

[snow scarab]

the cummerbund is huge yeah

[granite tartan]

Yeah I had the straps maxed out

[snow scarab]

that’s why you fit it to yourself

[granite tartan]

And it still hung low

[snow scarab]

fold em

[granite tartan]

That is the smaller cummerbund they make

[snow scarab]

yeah, you fit it to yourself

[granite tartan]

No native PTT sleeve

[snow scarab]

you don’t use all the MOLLE

[granite tartan]

Idk man

I’d rather just buy an avs

It’s just missing a lot

[snow scarab]

the PTT sleeve i will admit is annoying

[granite tartan]

The cummerbund is just a cummerbund

It just sags less

It doesn’t distribute weight any differently than

[snow scarab]

it keeps it rigid is the thing. cause i can throw whatever tf i want on the cummerbund and don’t have to worry about it sagging when it’s on

[storm peak]

Jesus fuck you're tall

[granite tartan]

He’s a big motherfuck

I’d still slap him

[storm peak]

Same

[granite tartan]

I would slap the fuck outta him even

[storm peak]

I'd pull out the step stool to do it as well

[snow scarab]

😂

so like mike, i only have 7-8 molle spaces available on either side of the cummerbund cause i sized it right

[granite tartan]

You’ve literally got like

6 inches and 20 lbs on me

“It’s perfectly sized”

With a medium small

Like the amounts of copium

[snow scarab]

tf you mean copium

the plate bags are sized to plates

it’s the cummerbund that runs large, and that’s by design

[granite tartan]

Medium plate bag, small cummerbund

Bro

You’re 6,4

You are nowhere near the baseline for sizing

Like

You have to get a waiver to fly jets you so tall

[snow scarab]

ok?

i’m still a skinny fuck

the cummerbund would swallow me… if i didn’t read the instructions on how to size the SPC to myself

[granite tartan]

You are 190 lbs bro

You are still 10lbs larger than the average man

You are the 99.2 percentile

[snow scarab]

i am barely in the ideal weight for my height

[granite tartan]

Gain more mass

[snow scarab]

i’m at the end of my bulk soon

damn that one is old

wait 2021

what, i thought that was older

[raw river]

What

Post got deleted for some reason

[muted gate]

it was the monkey biscuit 4chan post

[raw river]

The what

I don't even remember posting that

[muted gate]

Some dude on /fit/ takes ape dietary biscuits as its really cheap protein

[raw river]

When tf did I post that lmao

[plush topaz]

@whole vault why is he muted lol

[raw river]

probably posted a meme

[rose cypress]

im gonna blow yalls mind

[whole vault]

Why is who muted?

[whole vault]

And I posted a pic of a 4chan thread of a guy saying he eats gorilla food to get swole. I posted that because @snow scarab was talking about bulking

[raw river]

Oh wtf it said I posted it

Or I'm seeing shit

[whole vault]

Looks like some terminally online mod deleted it because I broke rule #28 subsection B paragraph 2 line 8

[rose cypress]

No memes in general

Lol

[plush topaz]

You were

[whole vault]

Oh lmao, they probably think that is some sort of punishment for me. I check this discord like ince every few hours, since I actually have a job and I'm not an internet janitor. I've probably been muted several times here and by the time I come back its expired so I never even notice

If they ever get butthurt enough to ban me Ill just come back on an alt and they will be none the wiser

[rose cypress]

i feel that

[whole vault]

Rub two braincells together and disable image uploads / previewing if you dont want people posting them

[rose cypress]

AYOOOOOOOO

lmao they can still see what ya said you twat

[plush topaz]

Only if they check

[rose cypress]

lol

@granite tartan

Should I sell my bitcoin to pay for nods

[snow scarab]

yes

[timber linden]

Selling Bitcoin now is stupid

Wait until next bull run

[plush topaz]

I've regained all my losses

Basically back where I started lol

[timber linden]

Just hold

Don't buy low sell low lmao

[plush topaz]

I just don't care. I had a fun ride.

[obsidian wolf]

@plush topaz I was in at 8K I’m holding for the big one

[plush topaz]

Wow

[obsidian wolf]

Was going to pull at 60K but I didn’t have access to internet during those months

And the PC the login was on

[stuck hazel]

Looks tight, crye product, ""lighter, ounces make pounds bro""

ngl most of the simping is just cause people like crye and people like plate frame looking tings

[granite tartan]

Fair

[stuck hazel]

to be fair though

from a load bearing perspective i cant say the JPC is leagues beyond it

[timber linden]

Next bull run will be much higher, government is moderating it which has ended a lot of the fear of it getting banned. It’s also being more implemented and used for average people.

[stuck hazel]

cant say i blame you at all

[sand rover]

that makes like a week where geno posts his nightvision every day pretty much

[thin apex]

I got a better picture so I posted it

[plush topaz]

@sand rover don't be jealous

@thin apex post nods every day

[thin apex]

At least it’s 100% more night vision than most people

[plush topaz]

^

[thin apex]

Not easy to record with these

My phone makes it look worse than irl too

[plush topaz]

[whole vault]

geno's bio is fucking hysterical lol

[snow scarab]

sexc

[coarse laurel]

Brought my 14 to work today

[snow scarab]

nice

[coarse laurel]

Personally for me it’s easier on my eyes

It’s also so I can bridge other 14’s

Like when I draw my issued nods I can just combine it with my personal one

[snow scarab]

white isn’t end all be all

i prefer green over white too

[thin apex]

My night vision has 2 modes 12v mode and 24v mode. Does anyone know if I made a new battery pack that does 24v will they work better?

[coarse laurel]

Jesus Christ

It looks like a Gen 2

[thin apex]

Y’all haven’t seen them yet?

Gen 1

[snow scarab]

earlier than gen 1 lol

[pastel cipher]

because white tubes are expensive, theres a lot of old green tubes floating around.

[coarse laurel]

Lmao

[thin apex]

Looks better irl

[coarse laurel]

I’m using Elbit tubes

[thin apex]

I want to know though would 24volts amplify the light more and allow me to see better with them

[coarse laurel]

Got rid of my contract ones, I put it on another 14 and sold that

[thin apex]

They look way better irl. In that video you can’t see into the forest but with my actual vision I could see if somthing was in the treeline

This is the best quality pic I have of them

I really want to know though would they amplify the light better if I had a 24volt battery instead of a 12volt battery pack. I don’t want to buy a battery and it not even do anything. If no one here knows then where can I get an answer to this?

[pastel cipher]

what unit is it?

[thin apex]

Pnv-57 let me get a pic of the transformer

It has a 12v mode and a 24v mode made to plug into a car/tank but I have them on a helmet

You just turn this metal thing to change modes

Nope

[plush topaz]

Mine on order are white. I've never used white before

[thin apex]

Extreme budget option for one of those ir flashers people put on their helmets

[plush topaz]

Photonis echo. Slim pickings in Canada

[thin apex]

2.99 to replace them

[plush topaz]

Yeah it'll do the job

[pastel cipher]

hmmm everything im seeing for these says to use 9 volt, seems theres still a lot of just outright false info about them being radioactive, id say to not bother changing since 12volt batteries will drop to 10 volts after some use so your gains will be limited at best, might damage your nods at worst

[thin apex]

People just say they’re radioactive because they are from Russia

The closest thing I’m gonna get to 24v is to strap a car battery to my head so I’m trying to figure it out rn

[snow scarab]

it’s gonna be blue lol

[plush topaz]

Yes

[snow scarab]

you’ll be able to discern more outlines at farther distances and it’ll be easier on your eyes over long use periods

i prefer green tho, everyone’s eyes are different

[plush topaz]

I wanted green but nothing available

[pastel cipher]

na, car battery in your pack with leads running up to your nods.

better weight distribution

[thin apex]

I wonder if I could just make a second battery pack with 16 Aa batteries total to make 24 volts or will I just explode?

Idk if that’s even how electricity works

[snow scarab]

💀

[pastel cipher]

wouldn't work not enough amps from aas.

also a layman on electricity but youd need enough amps to get through the transformer to actually work them

[thin apex]

My current ghetto setup

[pastel cipher]

you would be better off using actual 9v batteries by my understanding.

[thin apex]

That would make 18 I guess

But I would have to figure out how to make a new battery pack

I want to just find a big rc car battery but I don’t think they make 24v ones unless you want your rc car to fly

[pastel cipher]

https://www.globalindustrial.com/p/e-scooter-24-volt-100-watt-electric-scooter-replacement-battery-5ah-12v-f2?infoParam.campaignId=T9F&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzerFjuS5_QIVsjizAB3XEgMnEAQYBCABEgKqp_D_BwE

something like that ought to work.

[thin apex]

My biggest concern is just literally having a transformer blow up on the back of my head. I want exactly 24v and I want to know if that much power will damage them after the 60 years that they have been sitting in some Russian storage facility

[thin apex]

Do you think that kind of power will damage the transformer?

Or do electronics not really age

[pastel cipher]

they do, but being in active use affects them much more.

[thin apex]

Well from what I know I’m the first person to turn them on in over 60 years

Unless they were in a tank for training or something but idk

[pastel cipher]

if youre concerned about it i would stick with either what you have or a small jump up to 9 volt batteries, while its fun to theorize what could work, being prudent is probably best in this case.

other people report good use with 9 volts so i would stick with that personally.

[thin apex]

I had them running on a 9v but I made the new battery pack with the 8aa that makes 12v

I really just want to know if I made them have 18 or 24 volts would it even amplify the light more or would it be a waste of time

[pastel cipher]

hmmm finally found some info that seems to relevant, https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/ussr-night-vision-device-pnv-57e-1915747127

i think that the two modes are the transformer limiting the power more so than the unit itself changing preformance so it probably wouldn't do you much good to make the jump.

[thin apex]

Ok

I’ve been trying to get a better illuminator but I just haven’t gotten it yet so maybe that will be better

[pastel cipher]

probably, any night vision looks great with an illuminator.

[thin apex]

Yes and tube life from what I’ve seen is about 1500-2000 hours so i won’t be running them too much but I’ve only put on probably 15 hours and I will have some kind of modern nv by next year

[snow scarab]

@low fox @granite tartan another plus of the SPC, i can set it up for cool pics like that

lmfao

[granite tartan]

That placard is bulging

[snow scarab]

The interior isn't bad. It's much better than expected from Alfa tbh

And much better than my Viper lol

[snow scarab]

owning equipment isn’t necessarily larp

[zenith gust]

[snow scarab]

[zenith gust]

[barren kettle]

[stuck hazel]

Then you don’t have an opinion

[zenith gust]

my opinion is larping is cringe

[stuck hazel]

Define larping

[zenith gust]

[misty mango]

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab

I really like the VPAM plates

[snow scarab]

what is VPAM?

[granite tartan]

I'd rather be broken by 12 ribs than carried by 6

Or something

[zenith gust]

I told you to google it, you couldve done that between the time you asked to now... is this too complicated for you?

[stuck hazel]

i asked you for a reason mate

your talking about this like i want to know just to further my knowledge

which is clearly not the case from the context

makes you look very intelligent that your persisting with that route...

[zenith gust]

you asked me to define larping...

[stuck hazel]

do it then, then youll find out the reason

[zenith gust]

i told you its easily googlable

[stuck hazel]

or continue being arogant

[zenith gust]

now youre asking me why you should google it?

[stuck hazel]

thats not what im saying

read

[zenith gust]

i did read

youre the one who cant google lol

[stuck hazel]

you are making yourself look like a spastic

[zenith gust]

must be a marine or somethibg smh

[stuck hazel]

do you desperately need an explanation as to why i want you to define larping?

[zenith gust]

no

[stuck hazel]

or you ready to stop being stuborn

[zenith gust]

youre the one spam pinging me to define it for you

[stuck hazel]

pinged you once, "spam pinging"

[zenith gust]

multiple times

you even asked me today that "i still havent answered you yet"

[stuck hazel]

thats the only time ive pinged you

[zenith gust]

and yesterday?

[stuck hazel]

replies mate

[zenith gust]

lmfao....

[stuck hazel]

idk whats so confusing

[zenith gust]

somethings wrong with you man just quit bothering me

[stuck hazel]

dont want to have this conversation?

[stuck hazel]

would rather have your stupid opinions and not discuss them?

[stuck hazel]

shame that

[stuck hazel]

guess il keep pinging you

[zenith gust]

sounds like youre trying to invalidate my opinions and when i dont give you attention you beg me for some

and nice calling someones opinions stupid with no rebuttal

[stuck hazel]

yup, this is about attention

massive attention freak mate

[zenith gust]

you did say youll keep pinging me

reminds me of my ex tbh

[stuck hazel]

definitely cause i want attention

uhuh

[zenith gust]

not like youll tell me any other reason

so prob youre lonely and need someone to vent to

[stuck hazel]

how about you explain your position on larping

im interested

and persistent

[zenith gust]

i dont like larping?

[stuck hazel]

because you seem very keen to avoid

[zenith gust]

didnt i make this clear?

[stuck hazel]

yeah, thats a great explanation that

good job

[zenith gust]

so you want me to explain why i dont?

[stuck hazel]

fucking hell

he CAN read

[zenith gust]

why dont you just ask instead of playing mind games

[stuck hazel]

why dont you just read like a normal human being

[zenith gust]

you ask define larping as a coy way of asking why i didnt like larp

[stuck hazel]

jesus christ conversation to you is mind games

[zenith gust]

you must definitely be a woman

[stuck hazel]

uhuh

yup

[zenith gust]

i dont like larping because its cringe

[stuck hazel]

care to continue with your explanation and not dodge by trying to slate me

[stuck hazel]

how so

[zenith gust]

shit people do to feel cool roleplaying about things theyll never be

never dodged just unclear prompts

[stuck hazel]

so, this is the part where you use google and paste the definition of larping in here

because i promise that it will back what youre saying

[plush topaz]

My eyes hurt from this convo

[zenith gust]

tell me about it

[stuck hazel]

finding it pretty entertaining if you couldnt tell

[zenith gust]

how does the definition of larping tie into why i dont like larping?

dafaq

[stuck hazel]

because it doesnt tie in with why you dont like larping

[zenith gust]

......??

[stuck hazel]

here he goes again

[zenith gust]

dude i just cant

its like talking to my ex

im done peace
