[low fox]

Usually ill just make my own since i like to grill

[misty mango]

your amazon M32's are on backwards lmao

wit da amazon quads

[midnight night]

ur right

im not paying 7k for real ones

[misty mango]

7k?

for quads lmao

you lookin at 40

[midnight night]

thats what the website i was on said

danm right

replicas save the dasy

there nice replicas too

they alliminate

alluminate

[misty mango]

illuminate*

[midnight night]

god danm u lmfao

[misty mango]

they dont work as NVG's though

just a light in the housing

[midnight night]

no shit

[granite tartan]

real quadds are like 15-40k

real binos start at $7k

[low fox]

fake ones

real quads are like $40 big ones

[empty sorrel]

Maybe it was a reproduction housing with really shitty tubes?

[granite tartan]

what are you on about

[empty sorrel]

Oh just trying to think of a way that one could make a quad nod for 7k

[low fox]

Theres no way to make a good quad tor 7k

[pulsar tusk]

They use IR?

Do they have 4 screens?

Or are they the mw ones

[pulsar tusk]

3d printed nods

[pulsar tusk]

Im highly interested if they have 4 screens

[low fox]

Doesnt work that way

you cant get the dual ocular lenses in a a 3d printed unit

(trust me ive tried)

[pulsar tusk]

https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4975853

its digital tho

[low fox]

doesnt use analog tubes

[low fox]

dog shit digi

[pulsar tusk]

yeah no way it could

[low fox]

yeah

it just cant utilize ocular dualing

[pulsar tusk]

us army spending 40k for tube nods when an oculus quest with an IR light solos it

[low fox]

GPNVG-18s are rarley used in military operations specifically because of their pricing

SOF units like Rangers, MARSOC, Seals, and many others tend to use dual tubes.

i believe the models vary but i know for a fact the Rangers use PVS-31s

Im pretty sure that level of spending is reserved for tier 1 units like Green Berets and DEVGRU

I could be wrong but ive looked into a lot of special operations groups so this is just based off of me trying to find gear that SOF units and tier 1 guys use lmao

[granite tartan]

Their weight, lots of bounce, constant need to focus

Pvs-31s are light enough to not have to use a battery pack

[snow scarab]

we’ve got people in here that can get some lol

[snow scarab]

but they are still used with one a lot

[granite tartan]

What,

[snow scarab]

they are used with battery packs all the time

[low fox]

ah shi I knew that just made a fuggy wuggy brain fart

[snow scarab]

what

my man you are backwards

the majority of rangers are tier 2 except for recon

SF is tier one and has been for a while i thought. just lower echelon of funding

oh shit yeah

tier 3 in black vs tier 2 in white

i didn’t actually know that combat controllers and TACPs were SOCOM but that makes sense

[maiden surge]

.

[coarse laurel]

Lol regiment is getting rearmed right now

No deployments on sight, constant scaling back of funding

They also got destroyed in NTC

Complacency kills

Too much focus on GWOT era shit they forgot how to do conventional warfare

So funny enough rangers do the most DA stuff

[coarse laurel]

ASW isn’t a thing anymore

[twin creek]

Ong

Suit is drip

Shitting photos tho ngl

[stuck hazel]

Suit is drip

My suited up homie in my shit last night

[twin creek]

Lmao this is wrong chat

Tho there is some rs gear in there

[misty mango]

suits look pretty damn swag under gear sometimes ngl

[plush topaz]

Looks dumb and hilarious. I prefer the clean look with just a holster, mag pouch. Maybe armour under the dress shirt (like me at work).

[misty mango]

only time black kit is acceptable

[plush topaz]

White*

Black can be seen under a white shirt!

My work carrier is white

Although more yellow now due to sweat lmao

[low fox]

A fellow sweaty boy

I had a plate carrier that i drilled so many times with in the hot ass 115 degree heat and i decided to wash that shit and uhmm.

The water was like yellow and shit and all dirty

Shit was stanky

But all clean now

[plush topaz]

Hey you try wearing body armour under a suit in the flipping summer

[plush topaz]

The carrier ?

[low fox]

Yes

Lmao

[plush topaz]

Gross.

I’ve never washed my carrier

I should

[low fox]

You should

Trust me man

Just take all the shit off your carrier and hose dat bitch off

It is amazing how dirty your carriers can get

Also smells better after

[stuck hazel]

He was not ready to be put in kit lol

The suit barely fit him anyway

[plush topaz]

Looks good to me. Very slim fit

[empty sorrel]

Don't put it in the dryer tho

Air dry it

[stuck hazel]

you havent seem him from all angles lol

its uh

interesting

[plush topaz]

True

[coarse laurel]

You aren’t supposed to “wash” em

I personally wipe it down with disinfectant wipes then let it air out and soak in the sun for abit

[low fox]

I just scored

[thin apex]

Upgraded my poor people night vision setup a little more and fixed the weight distribution. It used to pull your head back but I moved the cable and battery pack forwards.

Not really a better place to put the battery pack unfortunately

[low fox]

I like ur spaceship sheets

[thin apex]

Haha yeah lol

I used to have SpongeBob sheets

i wish i had a way to record shooting through a red dot with them

@plush topaz I think it may have been you that asked a while ago if I actually can shoot with these and yeah I can actually really well this is my red dot

[proud hazel]

Mission recorder?

[thin apex]

Are the little cameras called mission recorders or is that a brand

I looked for some night vision cameras made for this but they were like 400 for just a little camera with a rubber clip

[plush topaz]

I don't remember but that's awesome.

Love how much use you're getting out of those

[thin apex]

Yeah they’re probably the coolest thing I have and I only got them because I had $300 burning a hole in my pocket

[snow scarab]

did you tho? how much?

[low fox]

I got the lot for 50

[proud hazel]

Just a name for a nightvision camera iirc

[ashen edge]

PNV-57 gang

[thin apex]

Yep

[twin smelt]

kit is coming together 😏

[low fox]

what handgun?

[twin smelt]

glock 19 gen4. gonna get a 17 or 45 soon

[low fox]

nice i only have a glock g21 in .45 right now really want a 19 or 43x

[twin smelt]

those are dope

[snow scarab]

WL on the rifle? and what plates you rockin?

[twin smelt]

gotta get the arisaka mount, and plates are L210s

[snow scarab]

run kevlar behind it

ik it defeats the purpose of the plate but it can help catch some rounds and will help with the hardness of the plate cause it’s only ceramic

[twin smelt]

yea i was thinking of that or some type of soft armor

[snow scarab]

just makes it better to wear. plus it can shift in your carrier cause of how thin it is too

[past hill]

Any good shooting gloves anyone would recommend?

Nothing too silly, don't need knuckles

[empty sorrel]

Multicurve plates are a lot better too

[twin smelt]

mechanix $30

[twin smelt]

sure, but are they really gonna be that much better when i’m shot in the chest?

don’t think so

[snow scarab]

what

i mean technically they could be

more surface touching your body

better dispersion

[twin smelt]

i’m still gonna have some type of internal bleeding or issue that would need hospital attention. if shit were to hit the fan to where i need to wear my carrier there wouldn’t be that type of care so i’d just be done at that point anyways

even with lvl 4 plates

[granite tartan]

L210s are a shit ass plate

The only hesco plates worth buying are the 800 series

Even then it’s overpriced

[empty sorrel]

Not from an intermediate cartridge

[misty mesa]

got me a knoife

[timber fog]

[snow scarab]

not true. ceramic plates do an amazing job at dispersing energy. even to the point of barely feeling a rifle round impacting it

[clever hatch]

Hi, im looking for some tactical gloves for general stuff (im a marine btw) are there are good ones out there i heard mechanix wear has some pretty good gloves

[snow scarab]

pig alphas or deltas. deltas are better. plus they got them in that coyote you marines seem to love

[low fox]

Mechanix

Fast fit

Like 25 bucks

[plush topaz]

Plus 1 for mechanix.

I have multiple pairs of pigs but they're the price of 3 mechanix

[plush topaz]

Pig if you want to blow money on good gloves that wear out stupid fast
Mechanix if you want good gloves for cheap that wear out stupid fast

I used Oakley SI assault gloves at a class a few weeks ago. Brand new. Torn and useless by the end of the class.

[proud hazel]

What about outdoor research

[plush topaz]

Never used OR beyond winter gloves

I'm sure they're fine

[proud hazel]

Fuxjing $80 a pair

[plush topaz]

Then same catagory as pig lol

Expensive. Will probably be shredded after one day

[proud hazel]

Mechanix truly is the way

[marsh flint]

I guess mechanix dry faster than many others

If they get wet

[low fox]

8

[plush topaz]

Blurry/10

[low fox]

What gear/10

[proud hazel]

R8 my gear

[low fox]

Honest to god

Pretty good

Wait

Repro gear or real?

If its chinese repro ima be pissed.

But besides that solid gear

8/10 (just because i dont know what plate carrier that is)

[proud hazel]

Its a opscore carbon, aws belt, American tactical agies 2 carrier, hoplite lvl4 swimmer cut plates

Elbit pvs14

[low fox]

A fellow opscore carbon bump brother

By far my favorite helmet for fast boy shit

[proud hazel]

It seems pretty good sofar

[low fox]

I saw the g24 mount on that bitch too so you runnin that pvs 14 nice

I tot a l3 pvs14 in white phos shit is awsome

[proud hazel]

Nice dude, nv is just hella fun

[low fox]

Yeah

Expensive

But i dont give af bout money so its whatever

[proud hazel]

My fav pic

[low fox]

Thats fuggen sick

I took this a couple months backwith my unit

Had the battle bus out there to camp in and shuttle the boys out the the desert for sum larpin

(Its not my battle bus its my buddies work vehicle and we use it for whatever tf we want)

[proud hazel]

Nice, sounds like fun, what state are you in?

[stuck hazel]

why the plate carrier?

what sent you in that direction?

also if we doing rate the gear then rate this fit

[twin smelt]

looks cool, just a bad quality pic. what are you running

[proud hazel]

I got it used with free shoulder pads for $200

[stuck hazel]

JPC money

[twin smelt]

fr

[proud hazel]

$100 shoulder pads

[stuck hazel]

6094, ronin belt, repro Fast MT cause UK

[twin smelt]

nice

[stuck hazel]

no shoulder pads are worth 100

[proud hazel]

You would be wrong

[twin smelt]

the ferro ones are i think

[stuck hazel]

ferro ones are 50

shoulder pads can cost 100

doesnt mean they are worth that

[proud hazel]

They are very comfy

I love them

[stuck hazel]

im sure they are

but $100 is $100

and shoulder pads are not worth that investment unless you have money coming out your arse

[proud hazel]

I paid nothing for them sir

You are flipping out over free shoulder pads valued at $100

[stuck hazel]

am i flipping out lol?

just saying that these shoulder pads valued at $100 seemed to influence the purchase of your carrier

which isnt very wise imo

[proud hazel]

Yes and they are 100% worth

Talking about what you dont know about is unwise

[stuck hazel]

Oh right?

Ironic huh

[proud hazel]

Not really your the only one here doing it

[stuck hazel]

How so?

[proud hazel]

"No shoulder pad is worth."

never used mine apparently

[stuck hazel]

Talking about what I do know about

Could nab some coyote tactical shoulder pads for less than half that and then put them on an actually good plate carrier

[proud hazel]

It is a good carrier

[stuck hazel]

Under what metric

[proud hazel]

All of them

It fails no where

[stuck hazel]

That doesn’t make it good

[proud hazel]

Why is it bad then

[stuck hazel]

Not being bad doesn’t mean it’s good

[proud hazel]

Then what is it

[stuck hazel]

Objectively mid

[proud hazel]

Lot of side stepping going on

[stuck hazel]

Hardly

[proud hazel]

You have side stepped every damn question so far

[stuck hazel]

You have a carrier with 0 industry reputation and 0 outstanding design components that exceeds at nothing

It’s not good

Sorry did I sidestep too much there?

Il just say shoulda bought a JPC

[proud hazel]

There you go

Much better

I plan on upgrading to a jpc, but for now i am focusing on getting training, the carrier is not a limitation and has no downsides thus far so i have no need to replace it yet

And i agree it just an ok carrier

[stuck hazel]

its "ok" enough to resell to someone who doesnt know better for similar money

which you then use to buy a JPC

[proud hazel]

Na i am going to keep it as a spare

[stuck hazel]

a spare in case you break a JPC? or a spare for a buddy

[proud hazel]

Buddy

[stuck hazel]

sell it to them lol

[proud hazel]

Na for now all my buddies have a pc

[stuck hazel]

so you have no buddy to give your spare PC

[proud hazel]

Yup but shit breaks, plus there is family

Also thought about using is at a 308 carrier

[stuck hazel]

fair shout

[granite tartan]

It’s not really a huge upgrade

Unless you use avs stuff exclusively

[thin apex]

Is it bad to have the back of these uncovered in the day time? I don’t have a cover for the back

@granite tartan

[twin smelt]

i can agree with this, i have the jpc 2.0 and a HRT rac carrier and its pretty mid

[granite tartan]

The back no

[granite tartan]

Jpc 2.0 is great. Just not worth to buy a second sandwich carrier

They’re all about the same

[thin apex]

Thanks

[proud hazel]

no its not, most carriers arent but this blood guy seems to think a nylon harness can be miles better

[low zodiac]

Gear

[warm ingot]

What's the yellow sideways light for?

[alpine wasp]

to shine it at homeless people

[warm ingot]

Haha that's a good idea actually

You can never be too safe nowadays

Especially with these homeless people trying to drive your car etc

[marsh flint]

They move into your car to live

No more homeless

[granite tartan]

If you get a anything harnessed definitely worth it then

[stuck hazel]

@granite tartan went for the Solomon’s in the end

[granite tartan]

Cool

I have a pair of those

[stuck hazel]

Already the most comfortable shoes I own

Gonna have to nab the lowas if these let me down

[granite tartan]

I don’t wear mine cause Solomon’s fall apart fast

Lowa good

If you get a pair I’d nab the z-6

Zephyr is imo better geared for issued boot

[stuck hazel]

I’ve never actually gone deep into the boot world so this will be a learning curve

Will most likely end up going through your teir list lol

[ashen edge]

Got the breast plate for the 6b23, it is complete

[plush topaz]

Ditch lights

[low fox]

Sick taco

I got a 08 taco that im modding out for funsies

[low fox]

Good choice

Solomon's are great

[low zodiac]

Gives you more visibility when you need to see off to the sides of the vehicle, like on a narrow road

It’s yellow because yellow light travels through particles better, so dust/snow/water won’t effect it as much

And the most important part:

They where 30$ and look cool

[plush topaz]

Mine were like $300

Diode dynamics SS3 pro

[loud sky]

https://www.shellbacktactical.com/shellback-tactical-rampage-2-0-plate-carrier/ is the rampage 2.0 good or nah? i know its made in china, so better alternatives for the 200 or under price range?

[low fox]

I use it and i love it

Cant say anything negative aboot it

Feels great after you break it in and great quality

And an amazing cummerbund

[misty mango]

crye JPC
buy second hand

[low fox]

That just looks uncomfortable

[pseudo fossil]

Man it shits on ur rig

[low fox]

No it does not

[low fox]

Get yo goofy goober plate carrier tf outta here

[pulsar tusk]

@pseudo fossil is famous

He’s john pork

[low fox]

I dont care

[plush topaz]

LOL

[pulsar tusk]

Bro is talking to the real john pork and says he doesnt care

[low fox]

I dont fucking care yeah thats about right

[plush topaz]

My carrier could beat your carrier in a fight

My carrier knows krav maga

And eats 12 whole chickens a day

[low fox]

Pick a better martial arts

Krav maga is a joke

[plush topaz]

It isn't a martial art

[pulsar tusk]

Yes it is

[plush topaz]

Nah

[low fox]

It is dawg

[plush topaz]

I'm literally Israeli and it isn't.

[pulsar tusk]

It was made for the idf but its martial arts

[low fox]

It is martial arts my guy

[plush topaz]

Studied it for over 15 years

[pulsar tusk]

Study these nuts for the rest of your life and google krav maga

[plush topaz]

It's a defense technique.

[low fox]

So you dont know how to fight got it

[low fox]

Bout made me spill my tea

[pulsar tusk]

Martial arts are corny

[plush topaz]

[pulsar tusk]

I did jew jitsu for 3 years

So boring

[plush topaz]

My carrier can beat your carrier with a pencil

[low fox]

Im a been wrestling for 9 years now

I go crazy

[loud sky]

cool think i will go with it then

[loud sky]

i like it only problem i have with it is that it seems everyone and their mother has one, and i just wanna be different lol

[low fox]

Good choice

[low fox]

Mid compared to wrestling

[plush topaz]

Amen and awomen to that

[loud sky]

say one question about it, do you use the side pouches that are integrated into it? i heard some people don't like them

[pulsar tusk]

Being different gets you hate

[smoky pilot]

this looks like shit

[pulsar tusk]

If someone sees anything other than jpc you get roasted

[misty mango]

FORGOT ABOUT ATHEM!!!

REEE

[loud sky]

im okay with that tbh, at least im not the same as someone else

[pseudo fossil]

It shit on ur rig

[smoky pilot]

Get a real plate carrier @pseudo fossil

[loud sky]

no gifs sad

[low fox]

I dont use em, if you do use em use em for something other than mags. The mags will rub into your ribs and it kinda hurts

[loud sky]

cool ty

[low fox]

Thats what im saying bro got a bitchy ass carrier

[pseudo fossil]

Ban

[pulsar tusk]

Mine gets hate but i like it, its 1000d, and comfortable

[low fox]

Looks dope

[smoky pilot]

Condor airsoft rig aka real man’s plate carrier @pseudo fossil

[pulsar tusk]

First time i ever heard that in this server

[loud sky]

i mean i like the "big" plate carriers im not a fan of the slim stuff, although i understand why they exist

[low fox]

Mr john pork shitting on my rig when he has that piece of shid

[pulsar tusk]

I love rigs over soft armor tbh

[pseudo fossil]

Mine is the best rig created

Nobody’s is better

[pulsar tusk]

On god

John “the killer” pork

[pseudo fossil]

He know

[loud sky]

rigs are cool tbh

[low fox]

That is strictly an opinion because you spent too much money kn a doggy carrier

[loud sky]

some people hate cause its not "tactical" but i like people who enjoy rigs

[low fox]

Rigs have a purpose and soft armor has a purpose both are the best in their own categories

[plush topaz]

Factual

[pulsar tusk]

Lawful neutral: plate carrier
Lawful good: soft armor
Lawful evil soft armor with rig
Chaotic evil: plate carrier with a rig over it

[loud sky]

tbh rigs are more practical than pc's just because the chances of facing rifles are far smaller than facing pistols

[barren kettle]

when is PSA releasing their rig

[pulsar tusk]

Will it explode too

[low fox]

Put tannerite in your plates

[loud sky]

will it go on sale because not enough of them are sold within the first 2 weeks

[low fox]

Makes every plat lvl 6

[pulsar tusk]

Bro more like lvl -1

[low fox]

Nah

Tannerite is best ballistic material

[pulsar tusk]

It does more damage if you didnt even have it on

-6 pc

[barren kettle]

50% the day after it releases, plus they are throwing in 14 PMAGs

[loud sky]

forbiden body armor

[low fox]

Not forbidden

[plush topaz]

What if I put reactive armour pucks in my mag pouches

[loud sky]

your right encouraged

[low fox]

Mhm

Natural selection

[misty mango]

[loud sky]

survival of the explosive

[smoky pilot]

ill prolly grab one just bc

[loud sky]

honestly i have no problem with psa, its like the amazon basics of supplies

[low fox]

This is proof of natural selection

She will not survive this world.

She needs tannerite plates

[loud sky]

proof the atf should be abolished

[low fox]

Agreed

[plush topaz]

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

[smoky pilot]

im just curious on how itll be qc wise. The new ammo theyve been making has ran flawless for me (9mm and 556)

[loud sky]

good point, i think psa is just reliable all around. from what i heard they had some reliability and just general issues in the 90s and such, but i have had no problems with their products

i think its the thought process of cheap=bad

[plush topaz]

@loud sky you're about to be shamed out of this server

Blasphemous commentary

[loud sky]

i honestly i have no idea what im talking abt lol

im just having fun

[plush topaz]

[loud sky]

avg discord moment tbh

[barren kettle]

at least you’re honest that you have no clue

[smoky pilot]

dont get me wrong ive seen some bad qc as far as rifles go (my brother bought a brand new 16inch from them and came in with rust spots) they have decent qc but you get what you pay for with them

[barren kettle]

some people drop the most braindead sentences ever and defend them like it’s their life on the line

[loud sky]

i know a little of everything when it comes to gear and weapons if im being honest

[smoky pilot]

where gear?

[loud sky]

where gear?

or what gear

im confused

[plush topaz]

@loud sky why gear?

[smoky pilot]

yeah like where gear post pic

[barren kettle]

who gear?

[plush topaz]

@loud sky how gear?

[loud sky]

atf moment

[plush topaz]

not AFT

[loud sky]

i dont have anyhting besides a cheap airsoft battle belt thats why i asked about the pc earlier

im getting back into milsim, so that why i got into the chat lol

[barren kettle]

cannoli is DEA

[smoky pilot]

i figured you know so much about gear youd have a nice setup

[plush topaz]

DCA actually. Drug Consumption Alldaylong

[loud sky]

no i have a history prof that talks to me about gear all the time and i just research it a lot lol

[barren kettle]

i was about to say that instead of confiscating the drugs you do them with them

[loud sky]

i approve

[plush topaz]

Whatever's left over I shove in their pockets and arrest them.

[barren kettle]

really you’re helping them if you think about it

[plush topaz]

I'm a merciful fed

Everything I do is for my country

[loud sky]

if u think about, drugs should be allowed in the prison system, because they will be sold less on the streets, and the prisoners have something to do

win win

[plush topaz]

[loud sky]

oh i forgot i also shoot a lot lol.

[smoky pilot]

i try to as much as i can but i dont have a reloading press yet and 556 is expensive

so i tend to find myself shooting more 9mm then anything come range day

[loud sky]

i have never owned a 556 gun, i shoot long range bolt actions, i need to get into ars

[low fox]

Dawg where you live

5.56 is cheap and talk is expensive where im at

[smoky pilot]

kentuckay

[loud sky]

i like 9mm i dont understand the 45 argument tbh, but i do respect it

[low fox]

Oh

[smoky pilot]

i like my .40\

everyone shits on it but it punches a nice hole

[loud sky]

never shot one before

i heard its snappy tho

[smoky pilot]

its a baby 45 pretty much

[loud sky]

cool

[loud sky]

i just think 9mm is the best all around

[smoky pilot]

i post pic of my .40 one second

[loud sky]

i want a 9mm again, sold my old one sadge

all i have now is 22lr revolvers that are about as accurate as the gun that killed Lincoln

[pulsar tusk]

For real bro i got a 32 revolver with fixed sights and it somehow shoots low at the 8m

[loud sky]

honestly ur probably better off with a rock

[smoky pilot]

.32acp???

[loud sky]

nice keyboard btw huntsman elite?

[smoky pilot]

Nah it’s a apex pro

[loud sky]

ah

[smoky pilot]

I’ve had nice luck out of steel series

[loud sky]

yeah their good

most gaming gear is good

[pulsar tusk]

Yes

Before you say anything the revolver is meant for acp not the specific revolver .32

[smoky pilot]

pretty cool tbh something you dont see everyday

[pulsar tusk]

I love .32 guns

So cheap

You can get them for like $600

Ww1 dated ones

[granite tartan]

Fuck .40

That is all

[low fox]

Fuck you
That is all

I joke

It just a prank

[smoky pilot]

weak wrist mfs be like

[granite tartan]

No I’m just not stupid

You get about as much energy and more rounds faster on target with 9 mm

I’ll take my 9mm tyvm

[smoky pilot]

with training its just the same but go off

[granite tartan]

Then you can train to a higher level with 9mm

No point to artificially gimp yourself

When you don’t have too

Be based shoot 10mm

[smoky pilot]

keep simping for 9mm

[granite tartan]

I’m not

I hate handguns

[smoky pilot]

you are hard

[granite tartan]

Ah thanks

I am pretty hard

[low fox]

9mm is more efficient

[granite tartan]

9mm is vastly

[low fox]

He has a point

[granite tartan]

No even a little

[smoky pilot]

never said his point was invalid lol

[low fox]

Ill use 9mm any day over any caliber for a daily carry

[low fox]

Ik

[granite tartan]

When .40 cal and .45 cal is getting phased out nation wide

[smoky pilot]

ive got 9 and 40 rather run .40 for the punch

[granite tartan]

You know they perform about the same right

[smoky pilot]

plus i get the exact capacity i get out of a 9

[low fox]

Im getting a g19 soon, gonna run hollow point in that hoe as my daily

That will pack a punch

[granite tartan]

[smoky pilot]

43x has entered the chat

[low fox]

Based

[smoky pilot]

in all reality im ready for psa to release their rendition of the 43x

[granite tartan]

I sold it to my supervisor

43x didn’t offer enough for me

Tempted to get a 365

[smoky pilot]

what did u do to it

365 is nice

go for the xl

[granite tartan]

No

I carried the 43x when I didn’t feel like carrying a gun

But it was too big for that role

I want a 365 for that

I just start carrying my glock 17 at this point

But I’m going to EDC my work gun

@misty mango FUCK WHY ARE 6360s $170

[smoky pilot]

The Romeozeros are nice that come with

Walther pdp is my next carry gun

Best trigger I’ve seen in a pistol

[granite tartan]

Bag

[granite tartan]

I don’t like sigger red dots

You seem very large

[misty mango]

[smoky pilot]

im not a fan of their optics either but the pistol optic nice

[misty mango]

ouch

[granite tartan]

Meh

[granite tartan]

Just ordered it

Sad!

[misty mango]

pain

[granite tartan]

Very

[plush topaz]

I bought my buddy an olight for his birthday

Should express how little I value our friendship

[pseudo fossil]

Walther pdp is complete junk

My psa dagger shits on it

[plush topaz]

Best I can do is PPQ

[smoky pilot]

You mean hipoint 🤣🤣 jk

[smoky pilot]

Atleast your not running an olight

[plush topaz]

Just bought one for my friend

He doesn't know

[smoky pilot]

Oh god

Make sure you do daily checkups 😂

[plush topaz]

Hello police? I'd like to request a wellness check.

Next day.

Hello police? I'd like to request a wellness check.

[smoky pilot]

@pseudo fossil doesn’t know how to sight his gun in so everytime we go to the range his target is always clear when we get done

[proud hazel]

Some of them are really good

Romeo zero is not one

[low fox]

(((())))

[low zodiac]

Ngl, I wish I got better lights

These where a pain to install and I actually use them a good bit on backroads where deer are common

I’ll swap them out when they inevitably fail in like 6 months

[granite tartan]

Sorry sigger handgun dots

[proud hazel]

Acceptable

I dont like any if them

[granite tartan]

@stuck hazel

The beta AR is genuinely a wonderful shell

[stuck hazel]

its got the best arm cut out of all my shells fr

it just sits really nice on top of being light weight

happy with your accidental purchase?

[granite tartan]

Extremely

The arm cut is a little long but it doesn’t matter

[stuck hazel]

The cuff straps are more than comfortable enough for that not to be a big deal tho

[plush topaz]

Love the elastic cuffs on my cold wx lt

[granite tartan]

Elastic cuffs baller

[plush topaz]

Helmet parts finally came in

[plush topaz]

@granite tartan are helmet counter weights universal?

This cadex strap has a sort of dovetail mount on the back. Assuming it's for a corresponding counterweight of sorts

[snow scarab]

doesn’t look like it. should be able to use a normal counterweight tho

[misty mango]

💀

mista jew man

spooky

we need a cooking with canolli vid now that you have a chef hat or sorts

[misty mango]

immaculate

[grand portal]

But cook it in absolute darkness with the nods on

[granite tartan]

Bro I literally use tire balance weights

Taped the back of my battery pack

[storm peak]

How are you liking the cadex nvg stuff? I just recently picked up their nvg mount (dovetail one not low profile) one and I'm not impressed

[plush topaz]

Yes but that isn't what I asked you

[granite tartan]

I mean depends

Like that’s a very vague question

It’s like do all stanags work in nato weapons

Answer is kinda

[plush topaz]

Sigh

[plush topaz]

Seems great. Got a pic?

You mean where the j arm hooks into the flip up mount?

That's the only dovetail part

[plush topaz]

All I asked was is the dovetail mount pictured a universal mount. Like you I've only ever just taped shit to the back of my helmet. Never had a proper counter weight

[granite tartan]

There isn’t really a proper counter weights

There’s a million ways to skin a cat

[plush topaz]

I'm. Going to tape a magazine to my head

[granite tartan]

People do that

[plush topaz]

That's what I did.

But this dovetail looks like something specific fits it. Gotta figure it out. Cadex said they don't sell anything

[plush topaz]

@storm peak this?

[wind cave]

mmmmm

[thin apex]

@plush topaz I will be able to get even more use out of this helmet with what I did to it today. Put the light on top so it doesn’t hit my gun and blind me when I shoot and made some space to be able to wear my headset with my helmet

Man it looks so stupid lol

I’m gonna shoot some with it tomorrow I wish I could record in low light

[misty mango]

actually doesnt look terrible ngl

[thin apex]

Yeah I wish I had a better place to put the battery pack though like if I had a plate carrier I could have a little pouch on the back to put it and have the cable run up to my helmet

[plush topaz]

Looks pretty dope ngl

[thin apex]

Thanks

The light on top looks a little weird but works way better

[plush topaz]

Nah makes it look futuristic

[ashen edge]

Can anyone here read Russian? I’m trying to find the production date of my 6b23-1 but the cummerbund label is fucked up so I’m trying to use the aramid panels to find dates

[plush topaz]

That's different than mine. I have the low profile one

[storm peak]

We talkin old cadex nvg mount here

[plush topaz]

Ya looks old

[granite tartan]

[low fox]

It appears i have made a mistake...

[twin creek]

Is it actually called alyonka when translated?

[plush topaz]

Gen 3 31's are a must. Gen 2+ struggles in zero ambiant

[granite tartan]

They don’t make gen 2+

31s

Well l3

[surreal shadow]

That's fifteen dollars for a chocolate bar bro

[plush topaz]

I'm taking about our nods

[granite tartan]

I’m pretty sure Pvs-31s all use the same tubes

[plush topaz]

I don't have 31's Mike

Neither does tabris

[stuck hazel]

Buy 31s

[proud hazel]

Whats a nod

[snow scarab]

night optical device

[proud hazel]

My optics dont work at night, you need light to see silly

[granite tartan]

No?

[stuck hazel]

why not

[granite tartan]

Bad design

Proprietary optics with no diopter

Can’t articulate the pods fully with the connector

No illuminator

They are lame

[stuck hazel]

fair enough lol

[granite tartan]

Did I mention they use the same intensifier tubes as the 1531s

And cost more money

But I guess they’re light

[stuck hazel]

Rip pvs-31s

[plush topaz]

I'm. Going to have to do a whole new setup for my other helmet

Just grabbed this Agilite bridge

https://agilitegear.com/products/helmet-bridge?_pos=4&_sid=382de0369&_ss=r&variant=12371759104069

Add some Velcro to it and it should work.

I'll have to work some magic for it to work with my cadex nod mount strap

Which one?

[granite tartan]

He’s talking about the agilite

Ferro makes a PVS-31 retainer

[plush topaz]

Yeah it won't work for my setup

Was wondering which one he's referring to

Cuz the panel is all I know of from ferro

[granite tartan]

https://ferroconcepts.com/products/pvs31-battery-retention-system

@low fox question

Why don’t you run a helmet cover

[plush topaz]

I have no way of retaining the side bungees

Because my helmet doesn't have side rails

[granite tartan]

They are screw’s

I use a Mohawk

@plush topaz

[granite tartan]

Have you thought about like

Upgrading

[plush topaz]

One day. I love this helmet.

[granite tartan]

Fair enough

[plush topaz]

I have 2 of them too.

[granite tartan]

What

How

[timber fog]

Out here still running wwii helmet netting

[snow scarab]

better to have 0 snag hazards if you are going into a building that you have 0 clue of its layout or decorations

[granite tartan]

dont get one with mesh?

I will take that and raise you no

Bnvd cables are long as fuck

[signal flax]

The actual product is Alenka, but in game its Alyonka. Idk why maybe its after its translated or for copyright purposes

[signal flax]

[fast fiber]

[proud hazel]

@granite tartan finna get a aglite helmet cover

[granite tartan]

g a y

[proud hazel]

They are good

[granite tartan]

didnt say they werent

they're a little beefy in the back for what they are tho

[proud hazel]

I like um beefy in the back

[plush topaz]

It does.

Big time

Especially with our covers.

We stow them in thick bush

[plush topaz]

Forget buildings. Outside in the forest

I've had my cover ripped off many times.

[pulsar tusk]

i dont understand this server i get dogged on for using this style of headset mount but when you do its fine

its literally so comfortable tho

[pulsar tusk]

for the NKDA what would i write if i was allergic to something

[granite tartan]

I have it, it sucks farts

[granite tartan]

Nothing, writing anything is pointless

It’s for drugs

You have a drug allergy

[pulsar tusk]

im allergic to the sun

and cats

so no

[granite tartan]

You going to right sun and cats on your earpro?

[pulsar tusk]

thats why i asked

[granite tartan]

You’re allergic to the sun?

[misty mango]

must be ginger

[pulsar tusk]

well i used to be

it wore off now

i used to take minocycline and it made me allergic to the sun

[granite tartan]

Ah?

@misty mango he’s from NJ it’s in the water

[misty mango]

oh ew

[pulsar tusk]

british dude making fun of me for being allergic to the sun

when was the last time you even saw it

[granite tartan]

Atleast he can touch grass

[pulsar tusk]

im not allergic to grass

[granite tartan]

🫡

[pulsar tusk]

british people are allergic to brushing their teeth

and acid if i had to guess

[granite tartan]

Britain overall has better dental health than america btw

[misty mango]

cant afford a dentist*

[pulsar tusk]

they sure aint using it

[misty mango]

thats the difference

[granite tartan]

What?

No, their teeth are better than Americans

They’re like #5 in the world

We number 9?

[pulsar tusk]

i didnt know we were playing golf

[granite tartan]

Jesus Christ

[misty mango]

dental health isnt covered by the NHS
and even then
if you can find a dentist you will be paying a lot and waiting a while

so people tend to avoid them

[granite tartan]

NHS is awful

[misty mango]

the NHS is alright

[granite tartan]

No it’s Public

Awful

[plush topaz]

Isn't covered here either so not an excuse lol

[misty mango]

got absolutely fucked though

[plush topaz]

It's the tea

[misty mango]

we cant even afford heating here

[granite tartan]

@plush topaz man I gotta buy a new cuff case

Kinda pissed

[misty mango]

majority of the country can barely afford food

[plush topaz]

I use a leather paddle cuff case

[misty mango]

nevermind dental care

[granite tartan]

I got asps

They nice as hell

They just don’t fit standard pouches

[plush topaz]

Yup

[pulsar tusk]

europoor problems

[granite tartan]

Extremely nice tho

[plush topaz]

I don't like asps cuz plastic.

But they work

[granite tartan]

They’re steel overmolded

Actually they’re aluminum

[misty mango]

literally just a uk moment

truss kinda fucked us economically

then the torys are making everything more expensive and saying "we dont have the money to do anything"
while spending milions and even billions on the royals and polititions

also like
5th highest gdp

[plush topaz]

Ya you can get either steel or aluminum

[granite tartan]

That’s just the single strand

[plush topaz]

I don't know the difference tbh

Like the slightest weight savings lol

[storm peak]

F

[marsh flint]

good

[warm ingot]

Why is it part plastic? What if the person you're arresting has an SA-58 in their pocket to break free??

[granite tartan]

From my understanding it’s aluminum

[warm ingot]

Oh okay, so it won't be resistant to the ASH-12

[snow scarab]

wtf are you on about

[warm ingot]

I'm on about MikeDaShokPence arresting someone with a gun and then the perpetrartor potentially breaking free depending on the gun they have in their pocket

Might be a Five-SeveN, maybe an ASH-12 or an SA-58

[snow scarab]

also i find the ash 12 in tarkov hilarious

considering there is like 15 of them

[warm ingot]

ASH 12 GOES BRRRRR

Handcuffs = gone

[misty mango]

shut up

unfunny

[stuck hazel]

average irl-gear interuption

[snow scarab]

shitty ahhhh russian armor

[regal grotto]

Dawg be protected by everything

[snow scarab]

fr. they will fill all of that shit with sub par heavy ass ceramic armor and slow them way tf down

[plush topaz]

At least they care about their soldiers

[snow scarab]

AHAHAHAHAA

[plush topaz]

Man I crack myself up sometimes

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab @misty mango found out internally the Safariland RDS holsters are vastly different from their non rds models

[misty mango]

thats interesting

what are the differences?

[granite tartan]

The als has a styrofoam buffer internally on the 6360

The rds doesn’t

The rds is much much smoother

Like exponentially smother

[empty sorrel]

Bold of you to assume they'd use ceramic

[snow scarab]

most of their shit is isn’t it? that or titanium with ceramic

[empty sorrel]

Most of the older shit is steel/titanium + kevlar

Russians are pretty late to ceramics

[grand portal]

Russians really be that scared of getting popped in the ass lol

[grand portal]

Lol

Srry idk why that pinged you ntshovl

[upper edge]

I ADDED THE WALKERS TO THE MICH SET UP

[granite tartan]

Ah

[misty mango]

foap..

[pulsar tusk]

Display 🧐

[warm ingot]

Now you just need an altyn and you're a certified val gamer

[ancient grail]

Russian manufacturers when they must cover every possible square inch in kevlar

[regal grotto]

idk man gotta keep the balls and dick safe

[ashen edge]

When in doubt add more aramid

[low fox]

Im always in doubt

I want every cm of my body covered in lvl 4

Just give me full body armr

[ashen edge]

Michelin man armor

[low fox]

The Interceptor

[inner wolf]

IOTV moment, but yeah. what happens when shrapnel wounds more people than bullets

[snow scarab]

the IOTVs still look like that lol. the MSV not so much

(yes i’m correcting you cause that’s not an IOTV)

[inner wolf]

I pulled the next best image I have laying around

[coarse laurel]

God damn that IBA is old

@snow scarab everyone forgets about the SPCS

[snow scarab]

i’ve been told it’s the best thing they’ve ever issued before the MSV

[coarse laurel]

They are comfy as fuck the only issue was there wasn’t enough of them and they are outdated

Even the MSV feels outdated

[snow scarab]

yeah. that’s what they issued in afghanistan only right?

like 2012

when they gave out multicam

[coarse laurel]

Yeah

MSV lacking placard support makes it outdated

You can buy the AXL adapters but still iffy

[snow scarab]

and the buckles

my new cab unit lets you use whatever you want as long as it can take side plates

and helmets as long as they are tested and have proper data

[coarse laurel]

My FCPC can take side plates I just choose not to wear em lol

[snow scarab]

fair enough

i’m gonna buy some lightweight side plates tho

cause fuck the heavy ass issued ones

[coarse laurel]

I might pull the trigger on a mayflower chest rig

I started walking the lanes with the RI’s lately

[snow scarab]

gen iv pusher

fucking amazing rig

https://www.velsyst.com/products/uw-chest-rig-gen-iv @coarse laurel

[coarse laurel]

Yup I’m looking at this

[thin apex]

Won a cool pistol case and a $300 red dot at the Glock store open house

[snow scarab]

can fit a combat load, 152, medical. pretty much all you need

i’m gonna get it before i leave

[coarse laurel]

My second choice was the recce rig from onward research

[snow scarab]

apparently it glows like a mf under night vision

if that’s a concern

[coarse laurel]

Mm

But pockets

[snow scarab]

ik it has double magazine pouches

but otherwise the glowing kills it for me

[granite tartan]

You like fcpc?

[granite tartan]

Dank you got something good too

[thin apex]

Also got a cool bag the other day that has like mag pouches and stuff but how the fuck does it work? Like I think there’s a slot to put a plate in the back but if I sling it over my shoulder it’s way too low to provide any protection

I looked up some videos too but none show how it works

[thin apex]

They had a bunch of guns 50% off too it was definitely worth the drive and I was only minutes away from winning a $1200 Glock in a shooting challenge but someone beat me like 10 minutes before they announced the winner

[granite tartan]

@thin apex sell the crossfire

Not worth opening and using

[thin apex]

Yeah I want to but I gave it to my dad for a 22 rifle

I don’t trust vortex

Not very good optics

Pretty good for backyard shooting

[twin creek]

Pa over vortex anyday

[thin apex]

Yeah kinda sucks they didn’t give away any trijicons or something but still pretty cool

[inner wolf]

IMO it's a mediocre pc

They don't even know how to size and wear their own plate carriers which is hilarious

[granite tartan]

Airsoft company

[inner wolf]

But the side armor panel they make is dope

I also own a ferro range hat, which I like

[granite tartan]

Guys at work like gbrs

[inner wolf]

Wut

[granite tartan]

@snow scarab yo

What’s the rear Velcro size

On the spc

[snow scarab]

wdym?

the rear of the plate bag?

i can check when i get home

idk if there is any

@granite tartan it’s 3 rows on the molle on the back. so whatever the plate size is and it’s got gaps in it

[granite tartan]

9x3 would work?

It’s for my JPC

It’s coming to work with me

[snow scarab]

it should if i imagine

[snow scarab]

bruh

then measure the fuckin JPC

[granite tartan]

I am not near it

Nor can I be till Friday

[opal reef]

not too sure but my guess is that it's a low profile bag to stick on your back while in kit

you can put shit in it

extra pistol mags on the outside if you need it type shit

[coarse laurel]

It’s been in my closet for a minute @snow scarab

It’s so salty

[opal reef]

its a utility bag

[snow scarab]

lol

[snow scarab]

measure it out for fuck face over there
