[granite tartan]

You can make it bearable

That the hood

[plush topaz]

Are there better ones? Probably. But like I said. It's great for shooting

[granite tartan]

Nah

Bye

[plush topaz]

[granite tartan]

Trying to figure out if I’m eating lunch or not

[raw river]

@granite tartan when was the last time u shot with a gas mask

[granite tartan]

Good question

[raw river]

Exactly

[granite tartan]

I only have an Israeli surplus

That I use

[plush topaz]

The civilian mask?

[granite tartan]

Yeah it sucks

I want a fm53

[plush topaz]

Yeah get rid of that lol

Not meant for shooting

[granite tartan]

When I have $700 spare to get this mask

New they’re 1800

[plush topaz]

Holy shit

[granite tartan]

They’re worth it

[plush topaz]

How

Hahahahahhaa

[granite tartan]

Sweat drain port, comm links

[plush topaz]

$1800 for a gas mask

[granite tartan]

And papr

[plush topaz]

I just spat out my coffee

[granite tartan]

Oh I mean the $800

$1800 it comes with all the accessories and dumb shit

[plush topaz]

Let your PD pay for that. Jesus.

[granite tartan]

They use m50s

I want a fm53

I got recording of me driving

[raw river]

Ain't no mask 1800 unless it comes with MOPP gear

Worth 1800

[plush topaz]

I mean if you can afford the best of the best by all means. I have zero use for something so gucci

My requirements:

Moderate drip
Extreme Effectiveness

[raw river]

I could care less about drip

[plush topaz]

Well you're wrong

Then use Mike's Israeli civilian mask

[raw river]

As long as it works and I can shoot effectively out of it

Drip isn't the same as effectiveness

[plush topaz]

Drip is the most important factor by far

If I'm Going to die I have to look good doing it

[raw river]

@plush topaz my cummerbund is ranger green cause it was 20 bucks cheaper for the same thing

[plush topaz]

Ranger green is drippy

[raw river]

My PC is multicam

[plush topaz]

Even more drippy

[granite tartan]

I used to simp for RG

Not crazy about it anymore ngl ngl

[raw river]

Drip only matters for loot boxes

[granite tartan]

I’m more of a FDE

[plush topaz]

It does get boring

[granite tartan]

I like multicam a lot

[plush topaz]

Most of my Stuff is RG

[granite tartan]

You’re also Israeli

[raw river]

Multicam blends in fairly well in SC

[granite tartan]

It’s not always about blending in

[raw river]

ATACS is probably a better camo tho

[granite tartan]

It’s about breaking up

[raw river]

Yes ik what camo is for

[granite tartan]

Atacs is terrain specific

Multicam isn’t

[raw river]

Need a camo that blends in with pot holes and liquor stores

[plush topaz]

We use OD in Israel

But ya

[granite tartan]

OD is horrid I’m sorry

[plush topaz]

Solid greens

[granite tartan]

RG looks good

[raw river]

Oop

[granite tartan]

Lol

[plush topaz]

It's different than American OD

Dunno what it's called tbh

[granite tartan]

RG brother

@plush topaz it’s foliage green that is just

Awful

[raw river]

@plush topaz if you care about drip why don't u have a Louis Vuitton print plate carrier

[plush topaz]

Lol. No.

Only Israeli swat wear RG

[granite tartan]

It’s only cool if it works

[plush topaz]

Louis Vuitton himself will come and stop the rounds

[raw river]

That isn't drip that's effectiveness

[granite tartan]

It’s only drippy if it’s effective

[raw river]

Says the dude who wants to spend 1800 on a gas mask

[granite tartan]

What?

[raw river]

There's no way a 300 mask doesn't perform the same as that 1800 mask

[plush topaz]

It has great features

[raw river]

Unless it has a halo 3 odst HUD it ain't worth

[stuck hazel]

lol

"just as good" moment

[raw river]

Past a certain point yes there isn't a point in paying for Gucci brands

Also I'm not taking an airsofter serious when it comes to anything

[stuck hazel]

right then bud

il not talk to you then

shit i forgot you were the one with the fucking LBX carrier

makes it ten times funnier that youve just pulled a just as good

"call him an airsofter and it removes his ability to comment on this subject matter"

nice one mate

[raw river]

I've used ass carriers I've been issued and I've used Gucci carriers the lbx is decent

Also it does

[stuck hazel]

in what world

[raw river]

Yall are all clowns who act like airsoft gives you any training

[stuck hazel]

fuck me dead

yep

thats what i am

[snow scarab]

i mean there is. easier to shoot in, more compatibility with different filters

[stuck hazel]

nah nah nah

let him bitch about airsoft instead

[snow scarab]

easier to shoot in is the only reason to get a 53

[raw river]

Which u can get in the 300-700 range

[snow scarab]

not really

c50s are 750

and are an m50 that takes all nato filters

[raw river]

I mean I've never seen you post in irl weapons so post gun if you aren't an airsofter

[stuck hazel]

i live in the UK

i shoot when i can

[raw river]

Ew even worse

[stuck hazel]

i play airsoft because its fun

[stuck hazel]

seethe moment

[raw river]

Lmao I could care less about eurotards

At least u aren't French

[stuck hazel]

americans can be so cringe its unreal

[raw river]

You play airsoft

You have no room to call someone cringe

[stuck hazel]

right then

tell me whats cringe about airsoft

[snow scarab]

confixs, when was the last time you shot drills?

[raw river]

The neckbeards treating it like actual training, the guys running around in nazi uniforms with toys that cost as much as high end optics, the 40 year Olds getting into fist fights with 16 year olds

[raw river]

2 weeks ago when I went to the range

Did the cqb pistol course and some Mozambique drills at my range

[stuck hazel]

yeah mate i love how all of that doesnt happen

there is one guy out of average 100 people ive seen who wears a WW2 german uniform

which is cringe but i could care less

[raw river]

There's hundreds of videos that prove otherwise

[stuck hazel]

american airsoft 💀

[raw river]

Idk if they are or not I don't watch em

Bc the game is for kids

[stuck hazel]

the toys that cost as much as high end optics, sounds like you're bitching about people having disposable income

[raw river]

No it's just dumb to spend thousands on a toy when u can get an actual firearm

[stuck hazel]

dude

shut the fuck up

[raw river]

Cope

[worthy heart]

I play airsoft see

[raw river]

[stuck hazel]

wow you guys are so cool

wish i was as cool as you

[worthy heart]

Call your hits

[stuck hazel]

understood

[obsidian wolf]

Airsoft is fun

[stuck hazel]

love how you guys get the opportunity to run around in full kit for multiple hours straight and coordinate movements and tactics in teams

shit wait i forgot i cant claim there's any training aspect

because that would be cringe

god forbid im cringe

[obsidian wolf]

I test my gear in airsoft. Weight balancing things hanging off the side

[worthy heart]

Jeans and a hoodie

[raw river]

Bruh you run mags that weigh a fraction of actual empty mags and you don't even have weight plates

[worthy heart]

JEANS

And a

HOODIE

[stuck hazel]

jeans and a hoody and what

[obsidian wolf]

Lead in the bottom of mags to mimic

[stuck hazel]

yeah mate i love how you know this

[raw river]

It's common sense plastic mags that shoot plastic pellets aren't gonna weigh the same as actual mags unless u do what @obsidian wolf does

[obsidian wolf]

How I play airsoft. Remove actual firearms from kit. Replace with metal air guns and have fun. (DO NOT USE KNIFE ON 14 YER OLD)

Last part important

[stuck hazel]

youve gone from bitching about someone buying a really good gasmask to slating someone about playing airsoft

[obsidian wolf]

Heheheh

[worthy heart]

Yeah guys getting my mak upgraded with a drum for airsoft

Hooking up a hpa

[raw river]

PLEASE make it auto

[stuck hazel]

not only have you made yourself look like a tool youve also made it seem as if your whole life revolves around trying not to be cringe

[raw river]

I wanna see a drum mag dump

[obsidian wolf]

I want this

[worthy heart]

[stuck hazel]

youre cool

[obsidian wolf]

And a construction outfit

Like a shitty Amazon one

[raw river]

Seethe + mald + cope + you're british

[worthy heart]

Funny thing my friend wants to make a aps stechkin

[stuck hazel]

wow got me there

[obsidian wolf]

I’m gay.

[worthy heart]

Pretty much a desert eagle sized Makarov

[worthy heart]

Hi gay I'm seb

[obsidian wolf]

No your a Cretin

[stuck hazel]

APS is full auto

thats about it

[obsidian wolf]

[stuck hazel]

not a very cool gun

[snow scarab]

i forgot the last part last time i played

[obsidian wolf]

Back to gear

[raw river]

Nah use one of those rubber prop knives

[worthy heart]

It's got some slight difference double stacked mags autosear and rate reducer and slightly different hammer design

[raw river]

Nvm u might pull an Alec Baldwin and knife a child

[obsidian wolf]

I’ve debated getting a rubber and foam katana for shits and giggles

[snow scarab]

spc in the wild

polish SOF

[raw river]

Remember those nerf swords from like 2007

[stuck hazel]

its a pointless ugly weapon in my eyes, im aware of all of this, but i dont care, hence why i deduced its only relevant feature to being full auto

[snow scarab]

i also saw a GB in 14th running one too

[worthy heart]

Man who crapped in your cornflakes

[worthy heart]

Someone's angy

[stuck hazel]

ConfiXs

[raw river]

[worthy heart]

Unsurprising

I've done that with Glocks before

It's fun

[obsidian wolf]

Pleasuring to my eyes

[raw river]

It would be super cursed if he used a PSA dagger frame

[worthy heart]

Lewd

[storm peak]

Anybody got any suggestions for an atak phone mount? My juggernaut one is too bulky

For a note 8

[snow scarab]

kagwerks maybe

[coarse laurel]

Kagwerks is the only one I can think of especially for note 8’s

[storm peak]

I got kagwerks for my tablet, is not bad

[storm peak]

It's for an older issued stuff

[snow scarab]

kagwerk and jugg are the only two brands uou can really buy that’s quality

[granite tartan]

His spc hanging low as fuck

[snow scarab]

all of them have it low as shit

i see that with SF and their AVS sometimes

[raw river]

guy on the right side of the flag isnt

not the one kneeling the one to the left of him

[granite tartan]

Typical with Europeans ngl

[snow scarab]

typical with most SOF in general

i see it all the time

[granite tartan]

Why

[snow scarab]

no clue, but i see it all the time

only by a couple inches

[raw river]

actually yea all the PJs i knew did it too

[snow scarab]

normally it’s with AVSs

but those just hang low in general

[raw river]

maybe it has something to do with shot placement studies

iirc most hits are below the nipple line

[stuck hazel]

my best guess would be comfort

[granite tartan]

It’s crazy because plates are supposed to protect the bits if you get hit you’re guaranteed death

[raw river]

idk most SF guys are weird

ask @coarse laurel

[granite tartan]

Most SF guys are hypebeasts

And aren’t min maxing gear

[stuck hazel]

thats certainly an opinion

[raw river]

its one of the opinions of all time

id ask my uncle but when he was a ranger they still used alice webbing

i always wore my shellback at normal height cause i could rest my arms on it

[granite tartan]

Have you met any

[stuck hazel]

yup

via airshit

hes obviously extremely cringe

[granite tartan]

A lot of them don’t care

[snow scarab]

they are also WAY more qualified than you

[raw river]

^

[snow scarab]

like, in everything

[raw river]

the only thing we agree on

[snow scarab]

owning expensive stuff ≠ knowledge

[stuck hazel]

agreed

[raw river]

part time swat guys also call him the brown lucas botkin

[stuck hazel]

living in america

[raw river]

which he still thinks isnt an insult

[stuck hazel]

≠ better

[snow scarab]

😂

[muted gate]

Imagine not specializing in outdated tactics from the 70s and 80s due to only rocking kit from that timeperiod

[raw river]

buy a plate carrier nerd

i bet you chicken wing

[muted gate]

i have 2 DA spitfires i love

i have modern gear, i just larp in my old gear at comps

[snow scarab]

buy a good plate carrier

[granite tartan]

Missed my point

Entirely

Basing everything rhyme and reason off what SOF guys do is dumb as fuck

[raw river]

@plush topaz did you hear about the calendar murderer? his days are numbered

[granite tartan]

No shit, but you’re missing the point

[muted gate]

i personally hate GBRS just because i hate their gear

Like i REEEEALY hate GBRS

[snow scarab]

obviously you have no idea what hype beast means then mike lmfao

[granite tartan]

They follow weird ass gear trends

[snow scarab]

hype beast would mean they constantly shill the newest product

[granite tartan]

I mean

[plush topaz]

[muted gate]

Sof guys when they get out use tactics that were relevent 10-15 years ago. Its not bad, but its outdated

[snow scarab]

yeah cause it’s like their line of work or something

[granite tartan]

How am I wrong

[muted gate]

Hypebeast doesnt mean new, just popular

[raw river]

not the newest, just popular

source: i used to buy supreme

[granite tartan]

Fuck wow crazy

[muted gate]

"Someone who loves trends, especially the ones on shoes and clothing. You can spot hypebeasts wearing Supreme/Thrasher shirts, Yeezy’s, etc. They are more likely to be fuckboys." Urbandictionary

[raw river]

yea that tracks im fucking a married woman lmao

[granite tartan]

@raw river the lucas Botkin is a compliment insult

[muted gate]

"1. wears trendy things to look cool or
2. over hypes everything such as clothing, parties, concerts, and other shit like that when in reality it sucks ass"

[granite tartan]

It’s annoying to see so much like

How much suck the teet of sof guy

They have a much much much different skill set

@snow scarab that doesn’t apply at a gas station

[raw river]

who wears a plate carrier at a gas station

[granite tartan]

Shovl if he could

[muted gate]

anyone working in newark

[granite tartan]

Shovl literally works at a gas station

[muted gate]

i know he does

im making a point

[raw river]

i mean i did see a chick wear a sailor moon cosplay when i worked at a gas station when i was 18

but thats a little different

[granite tartan]

Shovl was literally telling people to buy airsoft radios

[raw river]

what does airsoft radio mean

[stuck hazel]

you have an airsoft plate carrier

[granite tartan]

“Huh huh Mike is dumb, because he said a lot of sof guys are hype beasts”

[stuck hazel]

you can decipher using that

[snow scarab]

and you are telling people to buy unobtanium ones lol

[granite tartan]

Me?

[snow scarab]

also by your definition the JPC would be hype beast

[granite tartan]

Yeah, crye is hype beast

It’s also good

Good straw man argument

[muted gate]

Hypebeast =/= bad

[granite tartan]

Crye makes some iffy stuff

[raw river]

yea airsoft carriers just use shit materials so they can be cheap, most radios have semi decent shit in em also you literally need a license to use em

[granite tartan]

No, not at all why

[muted gate]

the license isnt hard to get

[raw river]

unless you mean like 50 buck 2 way radios

[granite tartan]

The frequencies you can transmit are

[raw river]

ik i have my FCC license

[stuck hazel]

i mean 20 buck baofengs

[muted gate]

i need to get mine

but i just havent had the time

[stuck hazel]

the lowest end of legit radios

[granite tartan]

And depending how shit your radio is while inhibit yo7 from transmitting

[raw river]

it took me like 3 seconds

[stuck hazel]

like what LBX is but not

[granite tartan]

No stop reeee

Baofengs are awful

Buy Yaesu

Same price and good

[stuck hazel]

one of mikes many opinions

[granite tartan]

Cause I’m not dumb

[stuck hazel]

il look into that actually

[granite tartan]

Baofengs, have ghost transmission issues

Inconsistent outputs

Which is bad because if you do have a wattage requirement $10,000 fine right there

[muted gate]

fair, i just havent had the time to go through all the shit i need to do

[granite tartan]

Idk why people who literally know 0 about radios die on the baofeng hill

@stuck hazel

Like they’re just bad

[stuck hazel]

yeah i know fuck all about radios

[granite tartan]

Then why insult me?

[stuck hazel]

i only defend them because its funny

[stuck hazel]

when

i would never

[granite tartan]

Longer now actually

[raw river]

@muted gate the "test" the FCC makes you do to get a GMRS radio is literally, "are you a us citizen" "are you mentally deficient" "will you use this for illegal purposes" then wait a month and they send you your radio callsign

[muted gate]

keklmao

[granite tartan]

You legally can’t even use that radio even with a ham license

Btw

[raw river]

i can depending on the frequency i use

[granite tartan]

No you can’t

The radio is BOP only

[raw river]

just cant run trunked, emergency frequencies or use it past 62

[muted gate]

I need to find a good guide to radios, but i dont trust either of you

[granite tartan]

It’s a rabbit hole

Like

[raw river]

oh i only know about prc-152s i dont research the shit

[granite tartan]

A lot of information, I’d just join a ham radio club

[muted gate]

I do landlines

[granite tartan]

Most of my experience is with aviation radios

And uh

Now public safety radios

[muted gate]

TA-312s and Ta-1s

I know how to wire switchboards, party line pit phones, telephone lines, etc

but radio shit i cant

[granite tartan]

Cause it’s all software size

Side

@muted gate majority of it is if you care about breaking rules or not frankly

[muted gate]

best comms are comms they cant intercept

https://www.radiomuseum.org/images/radio/military_u_s/telephone_set_ta_1_pt_1948812.jpg

https://www.keepshooting.com/media/catalog/product/cache/f7b906d53d787e3daacd095a2c7fcc0e/u/s/usgi-ta-312pt-field-phone-off-hook.jpg

Link 4-5 TA-1s or 312s on a party line while you daisy chain them between pits or emplacements

cant intercept radio if it isnt radio

you also have the switchboards which i think is the SB-22 off the top of my head

[granite tartan]

Nice. Got some Arcteryx leaf assault AR pants Gen 2 for $125 off

[granite tartan]

[stuck hazel]

Beautiful mate

Mine still haven’t arrived

It’s getting annoying

[twilit cape]

@plush topaz fucked with a tavor today and man I want one bad

[raw river]

[twilit cape]

@raw river i love my ars but something about the tavor makes me want to get one

[raw river]

reeee

[plush topaz]

Just do it already

[snow scarab]

what’s another good place to buy body armor? been looking at apex, was wondering about others

[verbal karma]

I have heard Blackbeard Protective products makes a good SAPI/ESAPI

[sand rover]

How many avid radio users are arou d?

[sand rover]

Everything I've heard about buying plates is either a specific niche vendor, or apex all the way

[blazing rapids]

Looking like a giga chad

[stuck hazel]

Essetac mag pouches have been purchased

Belt is about to become 10x better

[granite tartan]

👍

@sand rover radios are cool, I’ve got a handful of them

[stuck hazel]

What was the “budget” brand you told me about that was just better than baofeng yesterday?

[granite tartan]

Yaesu

Or kenwood

Depends if you want a gmrs or a full fledged capable radio

[stuck hazel]

It was yaesu

Which is your preferred out of those two

[granite tartan]

Yaesu cause they’re more available

[stuck hazel]

Sound

[granite tartan]

Surplus Motorolas are flooding the market rn

I’d try to snag one

[stuck hazel]

Fr?

Il look into that then

[granite tartan]

Xts2500 model III

[stuck hazel]

Got it

Lemme check eBay

[granite tartan]

Yeah me and confix saw 5000s for fucking $1-300

[stuck hazel]

What’s a price you’d go for

For either of them

[granite tartan]

I got my xts5000 kit for a steal

I paid $300 for a full kit

Batteries, chargers, ptts,

[stuck hazel]

I can see one with an antenna and better for 150

[granite tartan]

Just the radio, I’d pay uh $100-

[stuck hazel]

Xts5000

[granite tartan]

Xts5000s genuinely duck

Fuck*

Incredible radio

The software is hard to use

I’d have to literally walk you through it

[stuck hazel]

Ah shit

Well I mean

[granite tartan]

The nice about the model III is it’s OTF programming and you don’t have to dick around in CPS that much

[stuck hazel]

I’d rather have something like that then a boafeng the way you describe them

[granite tartan]

But I’m managing four radios so I have to use it

[granite tartan]

It’s not just me, it’s the ham radio community

[stuck hazel]

Fair enough

[granite tartan]

Idk out of all the cheap radios baofengs are peoples pick

Just the spurious RF emissions alone should scare anyone out of owning then

[stuck hazel]

Il pretend I know what you’re talking about

August time I’m doing some training with a bunch of guys who I know have radios, so a few months prior to that il check again for xts5000s

[granite tartan]

The radio randomly sending out radio signals

[stuck hazel]

Ah ok

Yeah I can see plenty of issues with that

[granite tartan]

I’d say fuck it and buy an mpu-5

Those things are neet

I want

[stuck hazel]

Arnt they like five grand

[granite tartan]

Triple it

All radios new are that price lmao

[stuck hazel]

Fuck

Well il let you know if I win the lottery by then

[granite tartan]

https://youtu.be/HSszvYMWijw

Watch this video

[stuck hazel]

Alr

So I can get a 5000 dollar radio for 150

That’s pretty cool

[granite tartan]

Surplus market 🙏

[stuck hazel]

Yeah shit I can see myself actually doing that

[granite tartan]

@stuck hazel I’m looking at getting another belt

[stuck hazel]

which

[granite tartan]

Ferro for the rizz

[plush topaz]

@granite tartan

What's the difference between comtac 3 vs 5?

[granite tartan]

Worth mentioning? The headband

The comtac VI is the one that’s a lot better

The V is also the same cost as a vi

[plush topaz]

The headband is honestly what I care about most

[granite tartan]

Can’t detect sarcasm

Uh, comtac prices aren’t awful anymore

But the correct answer is the comtac VI

[plush topaz]

I'm serious lol

Ok

[granite tartan]

If you’re getting defenders

You’re wasting your money

[plush topaz]

In America* lol

They're $1,200 here

[granite tartan]

Cheaper

In Canada

[plush topaz]

Really?

[stuck hazel]

but i thought that was for airsofters

also can i have opinions on comtac XPIs

[granite tartan]

It is

[stuck hazel]

but you just want drip?

[granite tartan]

Ofc

[misty mango]

improved 3's for euros

thats all they are

[granite tartan]

Aren’t they not comm enabled

[snow scarab]

@granite tartan you can make comtac Vs comm enabled with hearing defenders

VIs you cant tho

[granite tartan]

Yeah but doing that kinda sucks homie

[snow scarab]

i’ve heard it’s slightly less quality comms but its cheaper than buying straight up Vs

[granite tartan]

Than just rig up a Howard leights

If you’re penny pinching like that

[snow scarab]

those can take comms???

[misty mango]

yes and no

not natively
but you can still plug a boom mic and downlead combo into it

[granite tartan]

Yeah?

Same way you wire up sordins

[snow scarab]

huh. never knew that

how’s the audio in howard leights?

[raw river]

you got purdy hair boah

[stuck hazel]

XPIs are

[plush topaz]

Don't do this

It'd be a good project tho

[granite tartan]

It’s a 3.5mm audio Jack

You plug in

[carmine shale]

Let's see some ifaks people

[granite tartan]

Cro medical

There you go

[carmine shale]

I mean I want to see peoples

[snow scarab]

USGI baby

[granite tartan]

Swat team got CPCs

[granite tartan]

I saw them today at EVO

CPCs

Why

Fuck idek

I hated my cpc

@low fox idk if you met my supervisor

But he got a large, and he’s my size. And I barely fit a small lmao

Medium was massive on me

[pseudo fossil]

Is Crye spc good and what are good brand plates to look into? Forgive me I know not much on this just getting into getting a carrier my old one is cati carrier and plates ar500 from ages ago and I wanna switch

[granite tartan]

Depends what you run

Short guy with the sleeve

Joke is he’s famous now

@low fox that’s his car lmao

Yeah lmao

Cool guy

I personally like the Jpc over the spc

Probably not

Most of the Swat guys run the gbrs belt

One of them is replacing it

He don’t like it

Frankly I gotta replace my holster too frfr

Keep forgetting about that

I have a 6360

But I want an RDS model

[pseudo fossil]

I’m just trying to get a not super heavy load mostly I don’t want to be super heavy I’ve head spc with the right stuff can equal the load comfortably

[granite tartan]

I run dots

[granite tartan]

Jpc or lv119

[pseudo fossil]

Like not all on shoulders

[granite tartan]

AVs

Spc is just a rigid cummerbund it doesn’t do anything special compared

AVS, CPC or uh

That HRT carrier

LBAC

I prefer the Jpc over the lv118

Cause I hate swift clips

Avs mounting 🙏

They’re fine

My kit

I’m probably going to do some NVG stuff tonight if I can get my coworker to fucking pickup

Reject shoulder straps

Embrace AVS

[pseudo fossil]

I’ll look into lv118 I already got the spc on way so I can always have extra or might stick with it I don’t wan cheap plates if that’s what rma kinda is what’s best level 4 money can get that I can look into

[granite tartan]

Dudes ordering a million carriers

Lv119 and the spc will literally serve the same purpose

I had issues with my spc catching on my mag pouches

@low fox me larping

🧌

We got paraceletes in

Not yet

You literally bought Cole to larp and steal our blast caps

[pseudo fossil]

Thx will look into and if not I’ll look around some more I just don’t know much about them have u ever heard of CATI armor and carriers?

That’s what I got rn but it’s a one size fit all and I hate it

Adjustable

[granite tartan]

Nothing

I stay with the hype beast stuff

[pseudo fossil]

Ohh it’s company in Michigan probably not big at all I’ve seen videos on the plates tho but why do some ppl not like ar500

[granite tartan]

Trolling

[pseudo fossil]

Okay thx yea I’m not trolling just never knew

Got them like 10 years ago

[granite tartan]

If you don’t want weight on you, you need a harness

Avs or cpc

[pseudo fossil]

You don’t think with right stuff the spc would work? That’s what I’ve read is it needs the right stuff to be just right but I wouldn’t know I don’t even have mine yet it says shipping March 27 I’ll look into the cpc tho

[snow scarab]

i really like mine. fits me well, the only real downside i have with it is the cummerbund is a bitch to size, but once you get it sized it’s amazing

[snow scarab]

💀 how

[snow scarab]

that’s gonna run you 3-4 grand lol

ltc 26605s are gonna be your best bet. 7-800 dollars, triple curve, 7.6 pounds i think?

for two plates, yeah

apex has a 4-8 week lead time i think

hoplite is longer

[raw river]

my hoplites arent getting here until april 8th minimum

[snow scarab]

or you have the 26135 swimmers. 650 for 6.7 lb plates

[raw river]

ordered em in feb

thats what i got

[snow scarab]

i’m tempted to get a single swimmer

for the front

[raw river]

i plan on getting 2 sapis for the back

[snow scarab]

just one

[raw river]

so i can have 2 sets to use

[snow scarab]

oh

[raw river]

backups

[snow scarab]

you can buy single plates from apex

[raw river]

should i make a video of eating spaghetti off em

how many plates do you own where thats a normal thing

[snow scarab]

@low fox was thinking of doing this kind of combo

[raw river]

do shooter cuts have slightly more or less surface area than swimmers

[snow scarab]

i think they have about the same, probably a little more

or i was thinking of getting the 26605 SAPI and swimmer cut combo

wdym?

what would be the problem with it?

how? wouldn’t weight more so be the factor?

[raw river]

i mean those plates have a .4 weight diff

with mags, ifak, camelbak ect i doubt youd feel it

[granite tartan]

Cause it’s not made for short people like me

[snow scarab]

true

[granite tartan]

The sizing on the spc is wack

It’s super odd

[snow scarab]

no it isn’t

you’re just an idiot

the cummerbund sizing is wack

that’s it

it’s a perfect sizing for the plate bags

[plush topaz]

It took me literally days to squeeze sapi plates into my 119

[snow scarab]

jesus lol

[plush topaz]

Such a snug fit now

[granite tartan]

@plush topaz bro it’s been like a month

Still nothing from sands

I’m kinda getting mad

[plush topaz]

Time to do a little anarchy

[granite tartan]

Bro, I asked to buy a light

“We’ll send it to you”

“Sorry we forgot to ship”

Crickets

[plush topaz]

HAHA

Useless

Who are these vultures. How are the evem employed

[snow scarab]

think i’m just finna go with this

[granite tartan]

Why are you getting rid of your RMA

[wind cave]

yeah why're you doing this and not rma

[snow scarab]

weight

and thickness

[sand rover]

gmrs or ham?

[granite tartan]

Gmrs, as in walkie-talkies

Cause gmrs is like a frequency

Sunset

[sand rover]

I know the difference

I was just wondering which you use more?

plus the FCC wants ham radios to stay on ham frequencies and gmrs radios to stay on gmrs/frs frequencies and so on

even if they don't super enforce it

[granite tartan]

No, they want gmrs radios on gmrs

Get a gmrs certified radio

Or get one the FCC likes you to operate

[sand rover]

gmrs and frs overlap though, sorta

minus the repeater stuff

[granite tartan]

Gmrs only has 7 channels of repeaters for public use

[sand rover]

I thought it was 8

[granite tartan]

15-22

Didn’t count

[sand rover]

and then +8 for repeaters right?

[granite tartan]

It is 8

[sand rover]

oh, okay

not going crazy then

noice

[granite tartan]

FCC is weird

They won’t really go after you unless you’re being a dick

[sand rover]

fcc doesn't even really regulate radios, lol

[granite tartan]

Like blasting 5-10watts on like

First responder frequencies

[sand rover]

makes me wonder, as somebody starting into radio, if I should just get a ham capable radio

and use it for gmrs

[granite tartan]

Ofc

Motorola

[pseudo fossil]

U have spc?

[granite tartan]

I sold it to him

[sand rover]

the $150 one you mentioned like twice today

[snow scarab]

yeah

[granite tartan]

Xts5000 is stupid capable

[pseudo fossil]

Did u hook him up

[sand rover]

it do be a choker though

[granite tartan]

Motorola DPL is encryption you’re allowed to program

[granite tartan]

Yeah

I sold a crye cpc for $350

[pseudo fossil]

What about the spc

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab how much I sell you the spc for

Can’t remember

[snow scarab]

200

[granite tartan]

$150?

Yeah it was pretty much new

Wore it once

[snow scarab]

so pretty much the bags with the cummerbund for free

[sand rover]

been thinking about getting a pair of BAOFENG UV-9G

[granite tartan]

No

[sand rover]

y

[granite tartan]

Yaesu

Better leads

Better QC

[sand rover]

are they water proof?

[granite tartan]

No spurious transmissions

[sand rover]

I said uv-9g, not uv-5r

[granite tartan]

Xts5000

Uv-9g I saw today,

[sand rover]

uv-9g is 40 a piece

[granite tartan]

I want a more capable suite

[sand rover]

water proof, repeater capable, with all the bells and whistles for a gmrs mostly

[pseudo fossil]

That’s a good deal then hell yea

[granite tartan]

If you’re going to illegally blast get a part 90 radio

Ngl ngl

[sand rover]

well if I'm getting a gmrs radio I'd get the license

it's only 35 bucks

and if I'd get a ham I'd get the ham license

I just might also use the ham for gmrs

[plush topaz]

You don't need either license you yellow belly tit

[granite tartan]

Yeah I’m working on getting a business radio license

So I can use my XtS 5000 on the repeaters

[sand rover]

I mean yes but also no

[sand rover]

doesn't that chunk out a specific frequency for you

and cost, like, a grand

[granite tartan]

Write it off on my taxes

[sand rover]

lol

[granite tartan]

It’s $479

[sand rover]

that's not as expensive as it used to be is it?

I know ham and gmrs licenses got cut basically in half a couple years ago

cost wise that is

[sand rover]

don't you "need" a commercial license to use the motorola at all?

[granite tartan]

Yes

[sand rover]

wouldn't that not be worth my while then as a gmrs/ham user?

[stuck hazel]

Leaf aquired

[granite tartan]

Genuinely keep forgetting people care about stuff like this

[sand rover]

Well if I only really know people that use frs/gmrs frequencies it would only matter as a shtf tool

And I'm not really a heavy prepper anyways

[granite tartan]

<@&551452465233657859> help

[plush topaz]

Got the pants?

[raw river]

Bought an ifak

[stuck hazel]

Yup

in the wash rn

they fit but they fit weird

[plush topaz]

How so

[stuck hazel]

a little tight around the waist, almost too short but not really and they are tighter around the crotch and upper thigh then they are around the lower leg

but they are really comfortable so idrc

[raw river]

65 bucks

[plush topaz]

What did you say your waist size was

[stuck hazel]

32

[plush topaz]

True

You can always have a tailor let the waist out a bit

Pants like these, it's worth it

But you'll have to bring them multicam material if there's no excess LOL

[snow scarab]

lay it out for me when you get home

mainly worried about the israeli

[plush topaz]

What are you worried about

[snow scarab]

😑

[plush topaz]

Itll cook you matzo ball soup when you're not looking?

[snow scarab]

the brand of the materials mainly

[raw river]

@snow scarab gonna replace the TQ with a SOF

[granite tartan]

🙏

[snow scarab]

buy chest seals

that’s like the only thing you are missing here unless i’m blind

[raw river]

Yea need those too

[plush topaz]

Put a sharpie in there

[snow scarab]

keep this

[plush topaz]

You couldve just said keep the triangle bandage lol

[raw river]

Yea there's 1-2 thing I need to swap

But for 65 bucks not bad

[snow scarab]

don’t keep it

that’s what i mean

[granite tartan]

I got some loot there too

I got more medical supplies

@plush topaz got an Israeli bandage

[raw river]

I might move it to my side

[granite tartan]

Big bag

[plush topaz]

Oh. How come. Save space?

[raw river]

I can fit snacks in it

[snow scarab]

most people don’t know how to use it and while it can be useful, most people end up throwing it out

[raw river]

I was an EMT after I got out

[snow scarab]

bigger bag

[raw river]

The guy was selling a full sized kit the size of a compressed sleeping bag

For like 90 bucks

[granite tartan]

It also had burn gel in it

Which I wouldn’t ever use

[plush topaz]

Why not

What if you get a little ouchie from touching a hot stove!

[granite tartan]

Lmao

Cause hypothermia

[plush topaz]

TQ your neck and put burn gel on it

[granite tartan]

And loose finger

[twilit cape]

honestly i wanna get the army full sleep system

[raw river]

@granite tartan isn't the wife of the group that's what his roommate is for

[raw river]

I want my woobie back

[twilit cape]

i just bought another one when i got out

[raw river]

Also army and sleep in the same sentence lmao

[twilit cape]

funny enough im using it now

[raw river]

I miss mine

[twilit cape]

well to be fair the sleep system is another thing that have thats extremely good and i would trust

[raw river]

im highly considering the malice pack

[plush topaz]

What's the army sleep system?

[raw river]

a pissed off 1sgt knocks you out

[twilit cape]

pretty much

[snow scarab]

@low fox the temptation to buy those plates rn are immense

[verbal karma]

2020

2023

If you ain’t fit you’re gonna die

[twilit cape]

Your lucky you get to shoot that many comps

[nimble hinge]

cute kitty ears bro :3

[elder forum]

thinkin ab the jacket the riddler wears and kind of want one

people are saying its a bundeswehr style jacket olive German army parka or something similar

[sand rover]

almost all the stuff riddler uses/wears in that movie is surplus

[elder forum]

I could probably find something good at the surplus store at my downtown area

[sand rover]

pretty sure a couple of them even have freeze frames on online purchases of them

like, they show where he bought them as part of the character development

[elder forum]

noted

anyway

I am prob gonna snag the defender-2 classic replica from grey-shop

but hopefully I can bag the pouches, inserts and dick-pad all together to save like 150$ shipping if I bought them all individually

https://grey-shop.ru/product/defender-2-replica

[sand rover]

why russian surp?

it's kinda ass I've been told

[stuck hazel]

That’s not even Russian surp

If it was it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world

Still worse than 95% of western carriers

But that’s a repro that’s ten times worse

So in my mind I can’t justify it

[elder forum]

i just want a defender 2????

if i can wear it and it can hold magazines idgaf if it can hold real plates or not

[timber fog]

Tap in with demych

It probably costs the same after shipping anyways and you get the real deal

[sand rover]

lol, anybody got plates they'd part way with that I could get a deal on?

I swear I read a couple guys around here were replacing/upgrading plates recently

@snow scarab did you upgrade plates?

[low fox]

Bought a slick today

[misty mango]

my condolences

[alpine wasp]

its all down hill from there, shouldve stuck to webgear

[low fox]

I need it for work

[alpine wasp]

just work with an alice ggez

[low fox]

Wtf is an Alice?

[alpine wasp]

😨

its so over

[low fox]

That shit is ugly asf

@alpine wasp

[alpine wasp]

calling alice ugly

god you REEK

muh muh plates hrhh

[solar cave]

Oi gun and gear lovers, have you seen this vid from trexarms?
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/tXbrrQH36e8

this some cool shit 😄

[granite tartan]

Sorry to hear

[low fox]

Y?

[granite tartan]

Kinda not great carrier

[low fox]

Why not?

It is for driving

I gotta whip the fucking ambulance bro

[granite tartan]

Then get soft armor

Driving vehicles in plates literally sucks farts

[low fox]

Yeah getting soft inserts

[granite tartan]

Then why would you buy a plate carrier

You’re gimping yourself

These carriers need weight to work and fit properly

[low fox]

It’s cheaper than buying a soft vest

Well I can add weight to it right?

[stuck hazel]

Should’ve got a slick

Premier low profile carrier

[low fox]

That’s what I got

?

[stuck hazel]

Not a slickster

[low fox]

Yeah a slick

[stuck hazel]

LBT6094A slick

[low fox]

Shit did I put that in chat?

[stuck hazel]

You put a slickster

[low fox]

Lemme edit

[stuck hazel]

.

[low fox]

Lmao autocorrect

[stuck hazel]

@granite tartan false alarm no slickster

[granite tartan]

Get your agency to issue you soft armor

We use safariland at work

[low fox]

They do and they give us dog shit police surplus vests 💀

They are heavy asf

And suck mad dick

Their Armour budget is 1$

I swear

They also smell like old fat guy and fuck that smell in the heat lmao

[granite tartan]

Yikers

You county or city EMS?

Or private

[low fox]

City

That’s why I need a vest

[granite tartan]

They shooting at you?

[low fox]

It’s not even a major city but they have hella gun issues

Yeah

[granite tartan]

Hold on well move this to DMs

[low fox]

Bet

[snow scarab]

[granite tartan]

Day 222 for my supressor wait

[snow scarab]

[granite tartan]

Yeah tired of waiting

Won’t get my can till like may/July

[sand rover]

Old plates?

[snow scarab]

mine are just RMA 1155 SC

[sand rover]

I see

Well if you wanted to maybe not have the RMA plates anymore, if you get me

Let me know

[snow scarab]

shipping them is gonna be a bitch lol

[sand rover]

Still may be worth while though

Lol

[plush topaz]

Nice

[ancient grail]

Meow

[misty mango]

go army boy go

[snow scarab]

they actually letting you use your JPC?

[ancient grail]

Ye

[sand rover]

what are some of y'all's favorite placard setups and brands?

and the setup/s?

instead of bang?

or as a dangler, or side pouch?

interesting

ar-15 mags I assume

do you run a uv-9r?

or is that actually a Motorola connector

sounds about right

I don't have a commercial, or a ham license atm

[snow scarab]

3 mags

[sand rover]

that it?

[snow scarab]

i like the HSP TRMP

i also keep my rite in the rain in it

and my cloth scissors

[sand rover]

I love rite in the rain

I keep one in my backpocket basically 100% of the time

[plush topaz]

God.

You don't. Need. One.

[snow scarab]

i just had my other magazine out in this video

[plush topaz]

Christ

[snow scarab]

@sand rover

[sand rover]

valid

is that a dump pouch back left

[snow scarab]

IFAK

USGI gen 2

[sand rover]

on the cummerbund?

lol

it's not that expensive though

a carrier costs more

[snow scarab]

yeah

SOP

it’s not for my use

it’s for someone else to use

on me

[sand rover]

it's that the point of a tear out kit though?

wouldn't matter if it's belt or rig if it's tear out

[snow scarab]

yeah but this just makes it easier. cause i’m not light in full kit. easier access for doc is better 😉

[sand rover]

I mean you do you I guess

[sand rover]

are you left handed?
