[coarse laurel]

@snow scarab

Still a work in progress

[snow scarab]

GAH DAMN

[coarse laurel]

I really do

It’s fun lol

[snow scarab]

i love warhammer lore but the game itself i could never do

[coarse laurel]

If you lurk in the other chat you will see

[snow scarab]

i dislike children so i’m good lol

[coarse laurel]

It’s a shitshow right now

[coarse laurel]

Lol I don’t play with children

I play milsim shit mostly, people who hate on it just because it’s airsoft is taking themselves too seriously lol

@snow scarab sadly also it’s one of the few ways I can larp outside of work and not be ar 670-1 conpliant

[ancient grail]

Ngl

I thought you were some white guy

[coarse laurel]

No lol

[coarse laurel]

Wtf made you think that

[ancient grail]

Imma be real idk

[snow scarab]

i mean kong is the biggest asian i know. mf makes north koreans jealous

so big he could throw a sumo

oh @coarse laurel i’m getting comtacs finally

i’ll dm you

[coarse laurel]

Nice

@snow scarab @ancient grail this was when I got pinned in Victory Pond in ranger school lol, I’m kinda short

[ancient grail]

Dawg it's ok to be short

I'm still thinking about switching my mos, im not to sure because I'm proficient in my fa job

[coarse laurel]

Lol better do it soon

[ancient grail]

Lowkey thought becoming a fister as my secondary mos

[coarse laurel]

Before you get locked down

I’m not sure if 13F is a STAR mos in the guard but if it is your in and out call is fucked and you won’t be able to reclass

Especially if you pick up rank

Go do medic

Hah

[ancient grail]

I'm mean im only a pfc lol

[coarse laurel]

Lol I’m a Sgt im fucked in terms of reclassification

[ancient grail]

But that means imma have to go back to Oklahoma 😔

For like

6 weeks

[coarse laurel]

The only thing I can do is 68C which is a nurse or drop packet for 18D SF medic or go warrant officer/Green to gold

[snow scarab]

you are what the french would call, le short fuck

[coarse laurel]

Genetics sucks

But I bet I can drop you on the mat

[snow scarab]

apparently they are getting rid of 19Ds

[snow scarab]

oh most definitely lol

[ancient grail]

But im already familiar with FA so being qualified for atleast one of the other 2 mos's in arty would make sense

[coarse laurel]

Says who lol

[snow scarab]

i’ll find the pic, hold on

@coarse laurel

buddy sent me that from active

and a buddy who wanted to join got told they were getting rid of

idk if they are transferring them back to the infantry side or what

[ancient grail]

Damn

No more cavs

[coarse laurel]

Bruh wtf

No fuckin way

[snow scarab]

just my fuckin luck 😂

[coarse laurel]

It doesn’t make sense because if this was really happening it would be a bigger deal

I’m trying to confirm it now because this reads like a proposal

also im still seeing a crapton of scouts being bussed in to do OSUT so idk where this came from

[snow scarab]

yeah. also i’m not going to benning. i’m going to either idaho or mississippi 💀

[coarse laurel]

camp shelby in mississipi

is where they do the reclass training'

if its not benning

[snow scarab]

there’s apparently one in idaho too

[coarse laurel]

lol i just find it hard to believe the 19k conversion will happen, especially when 1st CAV is a thing they would not accept that shit

[snow scarab]

also i’m not even on a bradley lol. i’m a driver on a truck

[coarse laurel]

it just means ur in a light element

which is good

[snow scarab]

i got asked if i’ve driven with NODs and i was like i have 0 time military side with NODs

[coarse laurel]

gun truck is better

[snow scarab]

i looked through a pvs14 during basic and that’s it lol

[coarse laurel]

bruh

wtf is ur unit doing

even clinic medics have more time under nods

[snow scarab]

guard and my basic fucking sucked

we got our NODs stolen for fucking WOS so we couldn’t use them during AT

[coarse laurel]

smh

[snow scarab]

yeahhh

shit sucks

but this new unit is much more lenient and much more soldier friendly

plus i’m technically friends with the incoming battalion CSM lol

[proud hazel]

No stay away from idaho

Its bad for you

[snow scarab]

it would be for like a month

don’t worry lol

[proud hazel]

What part?

[snow scarab]

september

[maiden surge]

Howdy

[fresh wolf]

milsim events are the best imo

that an MP7 you're rocking?

[coarse laurel]

Yes

[plush topaz]

I need green hook and loop

Is there a particular tactical brand or just grab whatever from hardware store

Velcro doesn’t sell green

[proud hazel]

No like what base, northern idaho, central or Southern

[snow scarab]

oh

idfk

you think they tell me shit?

[proud hazel]

Yes

[ashen edge]

POV, you used prapor to repair you helmet

[plush topaz]

Used what

[ashen edge]

Tarkov game joke

[plush topaz]

Oh

[ashen edge]

The trader -_-

[snow scarab]

you’d be wrong

[proud hazel]

Lame ass, depending on where it is we could meet up

[snow scarab]

possibly yesh

[echo jay]

observe the stretched man

[warm ingot]

Does anyone of you have gold star irl?

I was wondering if it helps with pain relief

Got rushed to the hospital a month ago and my friend called but the static was so loud

Still have pain in my legs to this day

[cerulean flower]

Guys any tips on what to look out for when buying tactical gloves (mostly for airsoft)

[waxen horizon]

Wrong size and or fingerless

[ancient grail]

Spiritus or first spear

[misty mango]

neither

[ashen edge]

Holy shit my Ali express chest rig passed customs

Couldn’t resist

[plush topaz]

I have one too. But actual chicom surplus

It’s fun

[plush topaz]

Reckon you’d want something with padding no?

[cerulean flower]

For now this is what I found for a good price

So yes

Maybe I should have a look in motorcycle gloves

[plush topaz]

https://www.mechanix.com/ca-en/all-work-gloves/MPT-78.html?dwvar_MPT-78_color=multicam&cgid=all-gloves-main

Ones you found look fine. As long as they aren't expensive

[cerulean flower]

7800 in my currency so that means about 21 eur

[cerulean flower]

I really like this design tho

The camo completly matches my uniform

[pulsar tusk]

I got this one too

In black

Or atleast similar

[snow scarab]

weird ass stock and wtf is that muzzle

[stuck hazel]

some people like the funky stuff

common case of a wrong opinion

[plush topaz]

My first AR was a peice of shit too

[spice sluice]

looking to get a watch/tool for the ol wrist, never really wore watches but i could use one for my new job and i just would like to have that info available at all times, anyone used garmin before?

[plush topaz]

Garmin or suunto

Cool watches

[spice sluice]

sweet

i sall suunto

but had worse reviews

on the one i liked with them

[wind cave]

lmao

[wind cave]

lmao cannoli has it been that long since you played?

[plush topaz]

I've played like twice

[wind cave]

didnt like it?

[compact dagger]

I'm on Garmin side

[plush topaz]

Never got into it. No buddies to play with.

[compact dagger]

Almost every guy in our unit has garmins

[wind cave]

i feel that, same, but you're in a whole discord dedicated to it

there's a few people in the weapons/gear that play actively right

[plush topaz]

I just really don't play on my pc that often anyways

I'm a ps5 guy

[stuck hazel]

A couple at most

Out of the people considered to know what they’re talking about

[compact dagger]

@spice sluice so what's the work you need a watch for ?

[coarse laurel]

i use a garmin phenix 6x sapphire

its almost 5 years old and still going strong

[compact dagger]

I got myself an 7x sapphire

Besides the part where I need to pay like 70€ for better maps its good af

idk how it is in the US or other countries tho

The better mapping*

[ashen edge]

The Amazon’s warrior vs the AliExpress assailant

[pulsar tusk]

It was actually from wish

💀

[ashen edge]

How much lol and how is it

[pulsar tusk]

I mean it’s comfortable it has 2 mags per pouch

I think it was like 23

Total with shipping that is

[low zodiac]

@plush topaz you need one of these but a Canadian flag for your 4Runner

[ashen edge]

A new opponent has entered the fray: wish warrior

[pulsar tusk]

Nvm i just checked

$16

Wirh shipping

[ashen edge]

I got mine about 22 with shipping

Amazon operator vs AliExpress assailant vs wish warrior

Who will win

[plush topaz]

I have

[low zodiac]

Based

I fucked the right side one and it made me so mad

It looks a little better after the bubbles escaped but I still need to go and pop the 2 big ones

[low zodiac]

Smittybuilt awning?

[plush topaz]

Arb

[low zodiac]

Nice

Are those rectangular ones any good?

I want one but the deploy time seems lengthy

[plush topaz]

What do you mean

[low zodiac]

Do they rattle in the wind, will it blow over, is it easy to deploy, ect

Does it actually provide good shade

[plush topaz]

If you tie it down properly it’s fine.

[low zodiac]

The 270 degree ones look way cooler but are like 800$

[plush topaz]

Can get super cheap 270 awnings

Arb is high end

[low zodiac]

Really?

[plush topaz]

I love mine. Has a built in led strip

Princess auto sells a 270 awning made by evergreen auto for $300

That’s what. $220 Us?

[low zodiac]

Wack

I need to get out and actually see what I need, aside from sliders

I need sliders asap

I worry about damaging the rockers even on light trails

[plush topaz]

Skid plates are more important

[low zodiac]

Those are fairly cheap from what I’ve seen

[plush topaz]

Depends

[low zodiac]

C4 fabrication has a full set for like 1.2k usd

[plush topaz]

Keep in mind the more armour you add the more weight.

May need a suspension upgrade

[low zodiac]

That is true

I’m lucky my rack is aluminum

[plush topaz]

You see the new Tacoma reveal?

[low zodiac]

I did

[plush topaz]

So nice

[low zodiac]

I’m so mad about it bruh

4 banger? In a truck?

[plush topaz]

Why

[low zodiac]

I just can’t get behind that

[plush topaz]

Hah

[low zodiac]

It’s turbocharged but still, it’s a truck

[plush topaz]

More power and torque than your v6

[low zodiac]

Barely, and at the cost of having a turbo

No rear leafs either, which is good and bad

[plush topaz]

No front locker. No front steel bumper. No factory 35” option

Still amazing tho

[low zodiac]

The price will determine its coolness for me

As it sits I’m not that impressed, they could’ve made a way cooler truck

Like why not turbocharge the 3.5? People buying tacomas aren’t out here for gas mileage

A f150 gets better fuel economy 💀

[plush topaz]

Believe me the majority are

[low zodiac]

Well the majority never leave the pavement

[plush topaz]

Precisely

[low zodiac]

Their opinion on tacomas is invalid

[plush topaz]

Hah

[low zodiac]

I also super don’t like the interior

They seem to have forgotten what the tacoma is about

It’s supposed to be a slightly more luxurious version of the hilux for the American market

[plush topaz]

We’re you looking at the base model or trail hunter

[low zodiac]

Either, their interiors are similar aside from the screen size iirc

And the manual

The new manual is nice, I’ll give them that, but that screen kills it for me

[plush topaz]

I think it’s great. Still retains big buttons. Very practical

Needed a screen upgrade badly

[low zodiac]

I don’t know why they’d go for the digital cluster though

The point of the tacoma is a super redundant and durable truck that has old school blended with new stuff

No manual handbrake, no analog gauge cluster, giant iPad screen, and weird vent designs? Idk

I’m not quite sold on it

[plush topaz]

Get with the times man.

[low zodiac]

If it’s the same price as the 3rd gens I’ll be impressed enough to like it, but it’s doubtful

[plush topaz]

Not a chance

Trd pro will prolly push 70k

[low zodiac]

I’m 20 so old features impress me lol

I love my manual handbrake

[low zodiac]

Truly awful

[plush topaz]

Canadian anyway

[low zodiac]

My dad can’t stand the manual key, handbrake, or transmission

I think it’s the coolest thing ever

[plush topaz]

My Alfa has an electronic handbrake that won’t automatically disengage if my seatbelt is off.

So annoying

[low zodiac]

💀

I really don’t know why they even put a electronic in the 4th gen tacoma, it’s part of the tacomas heritage by now

And it’s cheaper

They clearly have the space for it too

The brushed metal switches are way better than the 3rd gen but I’m not quite sold yet

[plush topaz]

Shared parts between models.

Streamlines logistics

[low zodiac]

It does, but they could’ve shared the 3rd gens handbrake

[plush topaz]

Lol old tech. Gone bye bye

No cars have manual handbrake anymore

[low zodiac]

Boooo

I want my cars to be straight out of 2005

[plush topaz]

So keep buying them

[low zodiac]

But have the coolness of a 2021

I like my auto high beams and adaptive cruise control

But also like my physical key

[plush topaz]

That's why I said. Enjoy it while it lasts.

I won't be upgrading my 4runner

[low zodiac]

it really do be like that

it makes me sad what automakers are doing, i understand why its just lame as hell

[marsh flint]

They have moved on

[low zodiac]

the market moved on

[marsh flint]

I drove over 10 years with stick like 99% of people here. Then I got 2 automatics

[low zodiac]

the tacoma is my first stick

i love it

i can see why people prefer the auto, but its not nearly as bad as its made out to be in traffic

[low zodiac]

modern manuals have tons of assists to help you not get fatigued

but soccer moms definitely arent driving them

[marsh flint]

I saw an elderly lady driving a truck that needs a lorry truck license here and I bet she couldnt even start a manual

In the states

[low zodiac]

💀

[marsh flint]

Funny shit

[low zodiac]

I hate it when people do this

[marsh flint]

You arent even allowed to drive stick here if you passed your driving school with an automatic

[low zodiac]

it isnt that hard to learn imo

it took me about a week to be comfortable on congested roads

[marsh flint]

No. Driving is really easy

It is the following of the traffic that is difficult

[low zodiac]

3 days of about a hour per day and i was able to move the vehicle just fine, but judging traffic was a problem

[low zodiac]

thats the easy part to me

its compensating for people who dont know their yields that sucks

or people who flat out just arent paying attention

[marsh flint]

One thing I dont like in the states is that you dont have all these markings

Oh that is not a good example since the over head sign doesnt indicate that you could drive straight

But ignore that error

Well, that is ok but it really has an error. Like street marking doenst comply with thay overhead "turn only" 😄

It might have fallen off or something. And somebody was able to take a pic before it was fixed

[plush topaz]

Put on a d ring so if they hit you they destroy their car hehe

[low zodiac]

i took the trailer hitch off despite having a locking pin lol

what i need are some rear facing lights

these but its a small lightbar aimed at the ground

[marsh flint]

Nice

With stick you indeed have more control

And I couldnt imagine offroader without manual option lol.

I guess even most of them are auto in usa

[low zodiac]

only 5% of 3rd gens have the manual

[misty mango]

cringe

[marsh flint]

Yeah

[low zodiac]

in 2021 only like .9% of vehicles sold in america had a manual

[marsh flint]

[low zodiac]

its sad bruh

a dying art

[marsh flint]

Auto is becoming standard here also

[low zodiac]

i unironically prefer it, it isnt like a 90s manual where the clutch is super sensitive and heavy

its really not that bad

[marsh flint]

Oh I've driven many 90s and even 80s manuals

[low zodiac]

the tacoma is the only manual ive ever driven

[granite tartan]

God tacamos are so cringe

[marsh flint]

In fact my first own non 90s car was in 2014

[low zodiac]

bait

[granite tartan]

Cringiest truck

Might as well drive a Corolla

Yeah let me get a truck this isn’t a truck

[low zodiac]

bait

[marsh flint]

Is the truck battle between chevy, ford and dodge still a thing?

[low zodiac]

to some

[marsh flint]

Why wouldnt it be though

[low zodiac]

all fullsize trucks are the same

and there are only 2-3 midsize options in america

maybe 5 if you count the ridgeline and gladiator

[marsh flint]

People prefer those smaller trucks here and generally in europe

Like euro Ford Ranger lol

[low zodiac]

they are becoming quite sought after in america now too

ford tested the waters with the maverick and its selling like hot cakes

[marsh flint]

And Hilux

The terrorist version

[low zodiac]

i wish america got the hilux

its a neat little truck

i wouldnt want it as a daily but its a fantastic work truck

[marsh flint]

The gas is here same in liters as you got in gallons (under 4 liter)

I mean price

Diesel also ofc

[low zodiac]

americans would be in uproar

i would be in uproar

[marsh flint]

Its now like 1.9-2.1 euros per liter

So in gallon umm

[low zodiac]

6.7 usd

per gallon

[marsh flint]

Yea

[low zodiac]

yeah nah id be up in arms

[marsh flint]

Hehe

That's why I have an EV now

[low zodiac]

the cold basically ruins anything that isnt as advanced as a tesla in america

and heat

[marsh flint]

Actually the electricity price is NEGATIVE atm!

Here

Its like -0,1 cents per kwh

[low zodiac]

wack, here it costs almost as much as gas i think lol

depends if you want a supercharge or not

[marsh flint]

Yeahh we finally got the new nuclear plant built since 2005 done

It is one of the most expensive projects in the world since the build it like nearly 20 years

It was built by french so...

And Finns have the strictest standards in the world

So imagine..

[low zodiac]

we have so much infrastructure here for building shit that towns just instantly pop up

they build the buildings before the road is even made

[marsh flint]

Heh

Sounds a bit like china

But not that bad of course

[low zodiac]

like there legit have been times where im driving my route to the grocery store and i look out the window and see a entirely new shopping center that just appeared over the course of like 2 weeks

[marsh flint]

I guess there are empty cities in china. At least empty and half built skycrapers

[marsh flint]

Haha

[granite tartan]

That is a dogshit opinion

[low zodiac]

it doesnt get that wild here, the chinese have it because of their weird investment stuff

[granite tartan]

The reliability metrics on all them are vastly different

[low zodiac]

literally the biggest difference is aesthetics

all of them have solid engines and proven transmissions

they dont even make a manual full size truck anymore at all 💀

zero left

only 2 midsizes have it now, and one of them is the gladiator

[marsh flint]

Mighty name lol

[low zodiac]

gladiator people are weird

and the jeep people

when you come across a group of jeep people in a tacoma its like a bee trying to introduce itself to a new hive

[marsh flint]

There are jeep fans in finland too lol

Not many though

[low zodiac]

jeeps are the name of the game for offroading here

they have some real nice features for their pricepoint

[barren kettle]

mfw when i pay $40k for box and some wheels with manual windows and locks but i can take the top off

[marsh flint]

Land Rovers too expensive?

[low zodiac]

nah they just arent up to the standards here

[marsh flint]

[low zodiac]

youl occasionally see some really cool defender 110s and shit

from the 90s

[marsh flint]

Yeah

[low zodiac]

but a 2022 defender? hell naw lol

you wouldnt catch him dead on a dirt road

it might make his paint less shiny

[marsh flint]

Ngl

Coolest thing ive seen today

[low zodiac]

my dad had a range rover velar, that thing went off road one single time in its entire life

2017 r dynamic

[marsh flint]

What are the prices of those cool scramblers

[low zodiac]

ive never seen one

irl or online

[marsh flint]

Oh

So they are not common??

[low zodiac]

definitely not lol

[marsh flint]

What jeeps do they prefer then

[low zodiac]

wrangler by far

its not even close

[barren kettle]

looks like a concept jeep

[low zodiac]

the vast majority of offroaders hare are wrangler owners

[marsh flint]

Oh yea maybe i mixed those while googling

[low zodiac]

id say its like 65% wranglers

and 35% everything else

[barren kettle]

1% ford ranger

[low zodiac]

they are very capable vehicles, just a little too pricy despite being a chrysler vehicle

not my cup of tea

that and its a SUV

[marsh flint]

7.5-96k is the price range here

[low zodiac]

about the same here

[marsh flint]

Yeah

[low zodiac]

maybe a little cheaper low end

for 5k you could find a running one from the late 90s

[marsh flint]

Yea I guess that 7.5 k wrangler is 1.5k there

[low zodiac]

i forgot their letter designations

cj i think?

[marsh flint]

Yeah that lime one was a concept

https://moparinsiders.com/jeep-introduces-the-lightweight-scrambler-392-concept-vehicle/

Lol

Reminded me of those sand bugs

Beach buggy

[low zodiac]

Wack

[marsh flint]

I mean

[barren kettle]

they make a lot of concept vehicles

[marsh flint]

You roll right to the beach with some mopar roaring and open a brewskie

[barren kettle]

i wonder if jeep is the only company that still sells vehicles with manual locking doors/windows

[marsh flint]

Ha

[sand rover]

fuck airsoft money, bro's got warhammer money

[proud hazel]

Nope my 2019 ford was

[jade mural]

The stock feels amazing & the cheek rest is comfortable, the muzzle has some practicality like stabbing stuff & shooting barbed wire or any type of wire, I have a suppressor on it now,

sometimes you got to do what you got to do,

[snow scarab]

shooting barbed wire? excuse me?

that’s not gonna work very well 😂

[jade mural]

look at the muzzle device?

[snow scarab]

yeah,

it’s just pointed

unless you get it lined up perfectly it’s not going to do shit

not to mention you have to have the gloves to move said wire lol

these holes?

and once again either way it’s not going to work very well

it’s called bolt cutters. about 5-7 pounds and 25 bucks at your local ACE hardware. i like efficiency

[jade mural]

okay, well sometimes you might not have it, its called being prepared just in case,

[snow scarab]

if for some reason i’m running into barbed wire and i have my rifle on me but not my bolt cutters, i’m SOL anyways

[jade mural]

ok👍

[snow scarab]

@low fox wouldn’t you agree?

[jade mural]

why are you getting justification? lol

[snow scarab]

i’m not the one here who needs justification lol

you bought the weird niche product, not me

[jade mural]

lmao alright dude, you're right im sorry

[misty mango]

just get an SF4P

use the glorified tuning fork slits

[snow scarab]

lol

lol

[muted gate]

shooting wire is a thing

wirebreaker bayonets were fucked around with

problem was they didnt work

they largely got supplanted with just issueing wirecutters on long poles or just giving dudes normal cutters

why use a round and a very complex casting for a bayonet, when for the same price you can issue these

https://missourioverthere.org/image/1/1500/0/media/uploads/artifacts/wire-cutter-and-holster.jpg

[plush topaz]

What

Shooting barbed wire

Is that a thing

[muted gate]

yeah, its a thing

it isnt effective at all

its varied at best

[plush topaz]

The only barbed wire I’ve encountered was…..a lot

Like you’d be shooting wire for days to get past lol

I also fell into a pile of razor wire

[muted gate]

hence i said it wasnt effective

[plush topaz]

Hence shut up

[muted gate]

no

but yeah

gUys I HavE a WIRe bREakeR MuzZle dEvice GuYS

[plush topaz]

Everything is an extra with jeeps. Ac? Extra. Automatic transmission? Pay extra

[proud hazel]

It works fine, just slow

[proud hazel]

Oh yea its slow as shit

[solid plover]

[low fox]

He did a lot of shit to it and its dope now

The one he had didnt have a mount when he got it for some reason

Might have gotten broken off or some shit idk

[pulsar tusk]

They dont have mounts

[misty mango]

ferro mini dangler my beloved

[pseudo fossil]

What’s a good pouch to use with avs m4 pouch

I love it too but I’m gay and ordered it and it won’t work I forgot that little button clip for the m4 pouch

[misty mango]

run it on a belt

or just cut off that button

does that button go over the velcro where the platebag closes?

if not tuck it into the platebag

[pseudo fossil]

That’s last ditch resort I don’t wanna cut it haha but belt idea is good tho! I just need a belt first lol and yea it clips in the bottom of the plate bag I did tuck it but wasn’t feeling right would rather just buy ones that’s perfect for my setup and send this back

[plush topaz]

You're Stunning and brave for coming out to us here.

See you at the pride parade next month?

[misty mango]

[pseudo fossil]

I am brave

and you will see me there

[misty mango]

belt mounted is baller

[pseudo fossil]

Dang captain

That is pretty sweet beans

[misty mango]

still malding due to having a small waist
so i had to make do

as you could probably see
everything is a little tight on there

[pseudo fossil]

Hahaha man tell me about it I got the Crye structural cumberbund I’m in love with it now that I got it working but even small is meant for like 50 inch waist lol

Had to overlap whole thing to the max

[misty mango]

yeah i heard they run big

[pseudo fossil]

I’m only 5”11 160 and it barley fits perfect if I was smaller it would not be good for me

Ppl who make that belt suck they test fit them on ogres

[misty mango]

hah im 5'7 130~
that rules out an spc if i ever come to and want one (prolly won't)

[misty mango]

might be the same situation as the avs harness
designed for absolutely fucking built mfs

[pseudo fossil]

Yea I’m not sure maybe a small would be good with another belt not cryes haha and yea I didn’t know that but I bet haha

What belt is urs

Called

The one with the mini dangle

[misty mango]

its a lil airshit grade one made in the uk

deadly customs shooter belt

everything on there is legit barring the two rifle pouches

[stiff crest]

Anyone have a preferred chest rig that holds like 6 or 8+ rifle mags? Been running a lot of smaller chest rigs but I’m looking for something a bit heavier

[misty mango]

webbing

[pulsar tusk]

Chicom

Super cheap if you get a repro one

8 mags

Maybe more if you count the sides

Mine is set up wrong tho the straps go across the back

[stiff crest]

I am a chicom respecter lol, got the old green ones full of ak mags, but i was thinking something a lil more modern, not to discount the classics

[granite tartan]

That doesn’t impede your grip?

[pulsar tusk]

Something like the TAG?

[misty mango]

the spare mag?

no

its completely out of my way when i wear it

[granite tartan]

Hm

The rear Fanny is weird

[misty mango]

i like it tbh

doesn't impede sitting surprisingly

[granite tartan]

It will if you wear it alot

And sit alot

[misty mango]

i dont sit a lot so thats no issue for me

will probably get swapped out if i ever end up in that situation

[granite tartan]

Fair enough

[ashen edge]

Goofy ah

[granite tartan]

@proud hazel I have a rip in my 5.11s

[coarse laurel]

Oh god

@ashen edge

Speaking of UN stuff

[proud hazel]

Ok

[granite tartan]

Small one

But the seems got pulled during a demo

[rose cypress]

sadly aint got that

but i can throw a plate carrier on as well lol

[proud hazel]

Hmm

[pulsar tusk]

its just a green pistol belt

[rose cypress]

ik

@pulsar tusk

[plush topaz]

My cursed helmet

[pseudo fossil]

What best to put on back of carrier to cover all this

[plush topaz]

Zip on some panels

[pseudo fossil]

I don’t know good ones to look into got any recommendations

[plush topaz]

Is it a jpc?

[pseudo fossil]

Im mega noob

Self

Spc*

[plush topaz]

https://www.wtfidea.com/wtf-molle-zip-on-panel-jpc-2-0-spc-crye-precision-back-panel-91/

Probably others.

https://www.cryeprecision.com/Pouch-Zip-On-Panel-2-0

Never mind that one doesn't work for spc. But look on the site

[pseudo fossil]

I seen that 2.0 one I wanted it but discription says only jpc and sps not spc

I will look more I like the backpacks that’s good

[plush topaz]

Apparently crye zippers are proprietary?

Interesting

[pseudo fossil]

@smoky pilot has a amazon plate carrier from the 1700s

[smoky pilot]

Says the dude running a condor plate carrier

[snow scarab]

yes it does

[snow scarab]

all crye zippers will work

[granite tartan]

Crye tri-zip we trust

[granite tartan]

Zip on panels are really only good for hydro

Or if you work in a team

[pseudo fossil]

What would u recommend?

I want something there to cover up my back plate

[marsh flint]

Backbag

Pretty common here

[misty mango]

why is blud stood on a centurion?

[marsh flint]

Its part of that course

Some backbag ideas

And no that is not airsoft.

[plush topaz]

Oh. They didn't list it

[snow scarab]

yeah

most of the descriptions are before it came out

the SPC is relatively new

[plush topaz]

Well crye should probably update their website lol

[pseudo fossil]

Damn right

and they should say the structural cumberbund is sized for giants

[plush topaz]

But ya. You have a lot of options. Getting a zip on pack is kind of useless since you have to be made of laffy taffy to reach the zippers and remove it yourself lol.

Let alone reattach

My idf vest has Velcro and clips. Easy to do on your own

[pseudo fossil]

I planned on getting it to put a giant hydration thing inside it filled with alcohol and a tube so I can sip on it anytime

[plush topaz]

You'll ruin your water bladder

Don't put anything except water in it. Trust me lol

[granite tartan]

Molle panel

[coarse laurel]

Reminds me when people had the bright idea to put monster on their camelbaks

The bladder got moldy AF

[compact dagger]

even if you clean it properly ?

[plush topaz]

Ya. Just don't do it

If you use any harsh chemicals you'll either ruin the bladder or leave disgusting taste in there

[compact dagger]

Our guys clean it with some soda and some other stuff mixed in

[snow scarab]

@plush topaz i’ve decided to use my radio pouch for magazines

there’s no need for it as a radio pouch and it holds two magazines nicely

[ashen edge]

Make a UN kit 😈

[ancient grail]

Eagle pouches my beloved

[snow scarab]

i would need the 2.0 molle flap

[ancient grail]

I just gotta size down lol

I'll probably snag a 2.0

Because discounts

[manic cosmos]

s

[plush topaz]

They're all in my truck

[smoky pilot]

Few I’ve picked up over the last couple of days. Kinda wish I got the percs patch 😔

[alpine wasp]

whats the 88 supposed to mean

[smoky pilot]

Based

Duh

[alpine wasp]

larp

[smoky pilot]

Need that patch where u get it

[echo jay]

fog

[ashen edge]

Indeed very cringe

[alpine wasp]

88 and two based patches... school threat

[ashen edge]

When paired with the skull masked school shooter looking mf on another patch it is very cringe

Like 4chan made into a plate carrier

Anyways I had no idea that USGI “cat eyes” actually glow in the dark

It’s not that bright IRL

Here’s a better show

[alpine wasp]

called cat eyes for a reason

lel

[snow scarab]

uhhhh

yikes

[plush topaz]

Is there one that's bad I don't get?

[snow scarab]

i’ll dm you

[ashen edge]

It’s not great

[timber fog]

There’s something ironic about Cannoli being the one out of everyone else to not get it

[ashen edge]

Indeed

[plush topaz]

I'm not down with all the latest Nazi lingo

[pulsar tusk]

It is, you just have to shine a flashlight on it

[pulsar tusk]

88 has meant SS since forever

[plush topaz]

I never knew that

[pulsar tusk]

It literally has S to make sure you understand

On the 8 in the patch

[plush topaz]

What's the 88?

[pulsar tusk]

88 can either be SS or HH

Usually its ss

[pulsar tusk]

Have you never heard 1488

[plush topaz]

Nope

[pulsar tusk]

🧐canada media suppression

[plush topaz]

[ashen edge]

I just thought they where little reflective strips

[pulsar tusk]

If you shine a light they absorb it

[ashen edge]

Got damn

They are cool as fuck

[ashen edge]

Also found this on Ali express, Russian soldier buying AliExpress plates

[muted gate]

its why they are called cateyes

[timber fog]

I wish I could say the same, but alas I use the internet too much

[ashen edge]

Know your enemy

[plush topaz]

I don't even know how to exit voice chat on discord

[timber fog]

[snow scarab]

anybody used an unobtanium LV-X?

[twin creek]

actually want someone to test these

[ashen edge]

ive had my eye on a pair of $51 "lvl 4" plates on ali

[stuck hazel]

Buy two pairs

Shoot one against a lawn chair 50 times with OO buck and then once with 5.56 and film it with your iPhone 5

Then post it on Reddit saying ceramic armour is shit

And then use the other pair despite

[ashen edge]

will do

[small isle]

Anyone into old German camo

It's cool c:

[elder forum]

i cant do this anymore

the velcro pouches on grey-shop in olive are out of stock

the ones on amazon are ass

the 2 rigs that are designed to go with

the defender 2

are fucking out of stock too

😭

[low fox]

88?

[low fox]

nah it doens't mean that

8th letter of the alphabet = H
HH = Heil (painter)

[granite tartan]

Incredibly disappointed

@snow scarab

[proud hazel]

Its even double stitched what did you do

[granite tartan]

Use it?

[proud hazel]

Well i guess lets see how long mine last

[granite tartan]

We use these pants in a different capacity

If I’m wearing them, I have a holster on

It’s probably from the UBL shredding it

[proud hazel]

Not really, i wear a tool belt

[granite tartan]

@proud hazel you ever have someone drag you from your belt

[proud hazel]

No i just drag me self through crawl spaces with sharp nails everywhere and attics

[granite tartan]

Fair

I’m going to pick up a pair of crye LAC or g3 fields

[proud hazel]

Let me know if you like them better

[granite tartan]

I like my crye pants more yes

The 5.11s are definitely more comfterable

I wish crye made the G4s in navy

[proud hazel]

I am going to get firehose pants

[granite tartan]

Idk what those are

[proud hazel]

Duluth, they are insainly tough, just not the most flexible

[granite tartan]

Ah

[pulsar tusk]

I said a few messages lower that it can mean both

@snow scarab @plush topaz

Some can say i liked the new game

[plush topaz]

Cool

[stuck hazel]

shame.

[proud hazel]

Well @granite tartan i agree 5.11 kinda sucks

[granite tartan]

GG pants

[proud hazel]

Now to find a new company to try

[stuck hazel]

arcteryx

[snow scarab]

UF PRO

[stuck hazel]

honestly the UF PRO p40 classics are the best pants i own lol

[muted gate]

im trying to figure out if thats pants, a shirt, or gloves

[stuck hazel]

wdym?

[muted gate]

the pic

[stuck hazel]

pants

[muted gate]

i dont have my glasses cause ive got a gasmask on so i cant see shit

[stuck hazel]

rip

sweaty face gang

[muted gate]

i love working with shit in a garage that can give me turbo aids cancer

[stuck hazel]

nah thats a power up

make a wish gang

i wished for nods and they said no

apologies ive just rediscovered ready or not and need to get this out there

admire the super clean operator cqb

[proud hazel]

I can look at them

Thank you

[snow scarab]

https://ufpro.com/us/pants/tactical-pants/p-40-classic-gen-2-tactical-pants?color=kangaroo @proud hazel @granite tartan expensive but will last you fucking forever

[stuck hazel]

i second this

not really too expensive either

[proud hazel]

This is $214 for pants i am going to poke holes in

[stuck hazel]

oh theyre only 120 here lol

[stuck hazel]

worth

muh fav pants

[proud hazel]

No, i think nails will still fuck them

Not worth

[stuck hazel]

well i mean

[proud hazel]

For larp pants sure

For work pants no

[stuck hazel]

good luck finding pants that you cant put holes in with nails

[stuck hazel]

what work

[proud hazel]

The point is to find pants that balance strength with cost so when they do get a hole i dont cry

[stuck hazel]

what work

[proud hazel]

Installing internet

[stuck hazel]

right

why are you looking at "tactical" options then

[proud hazel]

I said work pants

[stuck hazel]

just dont be a degenerate and buy slickers

sorted

[proud hazel]

I never once said tactical pants

[stuck hazel]

snickers**

[stuck hazel]

so its just the people in here doing what they do best

missing the point

https://www.snickersworkwear.com/

sorted.

https://www.snickersworkwear.com/products/trousers/work-trousers/185867

[proud hazel]

Its probably more that i was using 5.11s they just kept with the theme

[stuck hazel]

yeah no.

just look at what i sent

they sell them everywhere

pretty hard to put holes in with nails

have built in knee pads

basically all round best work pants you can buy

[proud hazel]

They look great, but i dont think i can afford them

[snow scarab]

levi’s…

[proud hazel]

I bought a pair of duluth firehose pants

We shall see what happens

[granite tartan]

I prefer the crye cut

[granite tartan]

Americans buying uf pro is beyond stupid

Unless it’s used

[pseudo fossil]

Some balmain jeans

Those will be the best bet

Out of any other option anyone here recommended

[timber fog]

Why not use the typical work brands? Dickies are cheap and sturdy, wrangler has the riggs line, and carhartt and ben davis exist too

[proud hazel]

Because they suck

[timber fog]

You could buy two pairs of 874s for as much as one pair of 5.11s and have a heavier version of the same 65/35 polyco material

[timber fog]

Better than 5.11

[proud hazel]

Fair point, but i only know that now

[misty mango]

150

you fr?

150 for VI's

[proud hazel]

Scam

[misty mango]

gotta be

[ashen edge]

Just purchased another fragmentation vest from the unnamed conflict

It’s got full sized steel plates meant to stop fragments

Very silly and very neat

Paid under 60 for it on auction

Not meant for actual protection (as far as I’m concerned) but a very interesting solution to cheap fragmentation protection

[granite tartan]

Remember the argument we got into about 5.11s

[granite tartan]

I fucking hate dickies

Fuck

Dickies

[timber fog]

Skill issue

[granite tartan]

They don’t have the wide cut pockets

Or the internal carrier cargo pockets

For what I did, they didn’t. Work

I don’t speak for everyone tho

[timber fog]

Well, I don’t do tactical shit with them

But as work pants they’re solid

[proud hazel]

And, what do you want a cookie?

[granite tartan]

Yes

[proud hazel]

Mans got ligma

[granite tartan]

No it’s sugma unfortunately

[proud hazel]

Its both

I love this gun

[proud hazel]

Not on that gun

Not yet any way, it should be here in a week

But i have several rifles

https://www.surefire.com/products/product/illumination/weapon-lights/m640dft-pro/

Finna try out this one

[granite tartan]

100k candela

[proud hazel]

Hell yea brother

[granite tartan]

@low fox you a candela chaser

I shot in lowlight bad weather

Literally couldn’t see shit with the plhv2

[proud hazel]

I am hoping to not do that

You think there is a lumin to candela balance

Well i guess i shall see how this one does

[granite tartan]

Indoors I have a hard time with the high candela stuff

[misty mango]

you see
if youre blinded
your enemy is doubly blind

just wear sunglasses

sounds like a W

[pseudo fossil]

P alright

My o light Odin is better tho

Probably the best light u can get

[proud hazel]

This one ks only 900 so we shall see

[proud hazel]

My buddy has one

I wont be getting one

[pseudo fossil]

Why? It’s the best on the market

It so bright it gets hot and burns my flesh nearly holding hand Infront of it

That’s how you know it’s quality light coming out

[oak gazelle]

i guess o lights combusting isnt an issue then right?

[pseudo fossil]

Nah they’re good to go

Unbreakable

[oak gazelle]

Definitely isn't a documented case of a man being killed by an olight then.

My bad

[pseudo fossil]

A light can’t kill someone

[oak gazelle]

Are you dumb?

[pseudo fossil]

Must have been a tiktok prank that got you

[oak gazelle]

Olight didn't even show up to court for it, but yep didn't happen

[pseudo fossil]

Yea that was cuz it was all fake

Cant show up to a pretend court

[oak gazelle]

Dude got killed after putting the light in his mouth to look through his car, it exploded and killed him

[misty mango]

the baiter and the baited

honda
isnt it obvious that this is bait

[oak gazelle]

I'm bored

I figured I'd bite

[misty mango]

[oak gazelle]

But now I have an errand to run so

[oak gazelle]

Hi lamb

[misty mango]

[plush topaz]

I got my buddy an olight bike light

Guess you could say I’m a bad friend

[misty mango]

Does ur light burn skin Infront of it? That’s how I know mines good

[proud hazel]

Mine lights up targets, thats how i know its good

[granite tartan]

@proud hazel you ever use a light so much it starts smoking

[proud hazel]

No i dont think hlx will do that

[pseudo fossil]

How’s my set up

[pulsar tusk]

I have a really dim bulb light that for some reason can set cardboard on fire from how damn hot it gets

It’s classified as a laser according to the side label

[dim warren]

bro are you jake jillenhaul

[fathom sparrow]

bad movie

[muted gate]

HE RAN A FUCKING SERPA THAT ENTIRE MOVIE

HOLY FUCK DID IT PISS ME OFF

[pseudo fossil]

That’s me

Idk who you named but that pic is me

[thin apex]

That’s awesome I wanna get a better helmet like that

[plush topaz]

It's also an old helmet

But super light

[thin apex]

Yeah a problem with my helmet is the weight

I shot with it Saturday and the match was very challenging even the people with modern nods had a ton of trouble but shooting sideways with night vision through a tiny window is not easy

Especially with my setup weighing almost 8 lbs

[cerulean flower]

Ty the recommendation, this beauty arrived today

It's so good

[plush topaz]

Nice man.

Tough to beat them for the money

[cerulean flower]

Indeed

[misty mango]

Also running a tactec (cringe and bad)

[ashen edge]

im prolly missing something whats the problem with olight?

[misty mango]

they go boom

[ashen edge]

how?

an what model exploded?

oh it was a model of ligth with a lithuim ion in it

i was looking at my pistol light wondering how tf it would explode

[misty mango]
