somewhere

NOOO

[ashen edge]

She was the plug bro all the super cool shit I got was from her

[ancient sandal]

most my cool stuff is just from random old Russian women

[ashen edge]

The unsung war profiteers are middle aged Eastern European women

all the Soviet surplus was coming from them

[ancient sandal]

I love soviet surplus sold by old slavic women

I Found a 45 That isn't in horrid condition

Only issue

$399.95 +$49.95 shipping

[ashen edge]

I found one that was literally blown in half once

The unnamed war is a no go on this server so you might want to remove that

Just a heads up

It does look super nice

The foam rolls on the shoulders actually help a lot with shouldering a weapon

Prevents the stock from sliding off the vest

[ancient sandal]

Fair point

[ancient sandal]

they do

[ashen edge]

Haven’t seen the eagle rigs but I’ve been eyeing a TAPS

They seem pretty similar

[ashen edge]

I really don’t like the look of laser cut attachment points seem like if the cut area is damaged it might fray I know it’s negligible but I like the standard attached webbing better

I feel that ( and this is just me shooting form the hip) that if damage happened to the laser cut parts it might effect the platform as a whole whereas in my mind if the webbing is damaged you can cut it off and replace it

I know in real life none of that really matter but it’s something I’ve thought about a lil

[misty mango]

its more durable

but a lot less repairable

you cant just restitch it

[ashen edge]

I’ve kind of gotten into this mindset where if I can fix it I don’t really want it

[timber fog]

I haven’t got into laser cut yet either but that’s mostly just because I think it’s ugly

[misty mango]

shitty jpc😔

[muted gate]

i have a DA spitfire which is polish jpc, happens all the time

what

[misty mango]

its literally the same design as a JPC

but more expensive and shit

its newer than the current MMAC which is already stupid expensive for what it is
and comparing quality crye will just straight up be better

and the MMAC-R is their own take on the JPC design

same with the DA spitfire

[ashen edge]

I agree

[misty mango]

theyre great but their quality just aint as good

stitching and all that important shit

cant wait for the MMAC-R to be twice the price and do the exact same thing as a 1.0

just without the Edoff and kangaroo panel

nvm it does have Edoff but its huge

heat shrink plastic grab handles😔

[misty mango]

real

its fucking huge

shits like 5 rows of molle

[stuck hazel]

He’s spitting facts
Crye stitching is the best in the industry and they already have a whole ass catalogue of an ecosystem that works with the JPC 2.0 platform exceptionally well, there is no reason to buy that plate carrier

Besides they decided to make the one major flaw with the JPC, the straps, even worse by making the already thin fabric triangle cutouts on the shoulders even thinner

Common MMAC L

[stuck hazel]

The angle is what makes the thinness a compromise

Kind of a big oversight from Crye not to fix that

[twilit cape]

what do yall think about the shellback banshee

[mental ivy]

has anyone thought about using comtacs for gaming

[misty mango]

why

and yes i believe its been done

and asked about here a few times

[coarse laurel]

It’s decent, I used one for awhile since it was approved for wear years ago

Doesn’t bring anything new to the table though

[misty mango]

arent they also like

$300?

or am i thinking of something else

can get a JPC for far less

[shell saddle]

Currently wondering if I should get a JPC 2.0 atm. Recommendations? Also trying to find PVS-14s for sub 1800 (ik it’s hard to come by but I’ve seen em b4 and I fell in love with this monocle NODs in the Marines)

[snow scarab]

get duals. save up a bunch more money and you won’t regret it

way less likely to run into trees

[twilit cape]

@misty mango they are about that price

[plush topaz]

Oh boy. That'd be a pretty crap unit imo

But not an impossible find

[coarse laurel]

Probably a Blem Omni tube

[shell saddle]

@plush topaz see if I can get a good quality one like the one I got issued I’d be more than happy. I don’t run into anything and rarely have problems with the one I have issued

I have a buddy in the army that I’m trying to convince to yoink me a tube so I can simply build one

[plush topaz]

Nice

[coarse laurel]

Lol would recommend against that

It’s a good way to end up in jail

[plush topaz]

Oh please

[coarse laurel]

Tubes are SI, motherfuckers will shut down a whole post if one go missing

[plush topaz]

Meanwhile @shell saddle will be sipping on a cold one wearing his shiny new monocular

[snow scarab]

yeah anything SI is very much a “ok everybody look for this shit now, nobody in or out”

leavenworth got shut done s few weeks ago cause some dumbass didn’t turn in his 152

[plush topaz]

LT from our sister company lost an encrypted phone on the Lebanese border. Automatic 7 year prison sentence.

The entire brigade was sent out to retrace our steps

It was a massive operation

Hezbollah was like wtf

It was found. Forget where. But ya. Huge deal

[snow scarab]

really? little harsh.

[plush topaz]

This thing was a lifeline. For sure harsh.

[shell saddle]

Facts 😂😂😂

Fr tho my buddy works with mechanical wears and such for the army and doesn’t have many inventory checks so he gets the recycled pieces of gear and is told to either fix it or shred it

Well putting aside the PVS-14 topic for now. Any good recommendations for small sized plate carriers? I use smalls because I really love the mobility that comes with them and they sit perfectly between my last two of my rib cage and a right at the top of my sternum

[misty mango]

crye JPC 2.0

also how tall are you and how much do you weigh

because "small carrier" and small plates are different

if youre above 5'3 yo dont need small plates

[shell saddle]

@misty mango 5’10 179

[muted gate]

theres a measureing chart

https://img.trex-arms.com/wp/uploads/2021/06/HescoSizingGuide.pdf

here is hescos guide

[shell saddle]

@low fox I’ve used mediums and they always felt too low on me. (They were half way coving my stomach) altogether it felt quick cumbersome compared to the small plates. Just saying from experience but I’m taking everything y’all are saying into account for what I’m lookin for fs.

[snow scarab]

should be around your clavicle

your collarbone

right where it meets your sternum

i know a couple people that are like 2/3 legs istg lol

[misty mango]

tbf
i do know a girl thats 6'5 and most plate carriers go below her belt line

its so weird

[plush topaz]

Gotchu

[twin creek]

Bro is Airsoft slender man

[white urchin]

Getting that 4th of July training

[pseudo fossil]

U got nothing

Living in that shit hole

[snow scarab]

move eotech completely on your receiver

[white urchin]

I like it where it is and I’m rebuilding the gun in like a week any way

[snow scarab]

doesn’t matter about like, matters about keeping zero

[pseudo fossil]

Same

This shovl dude is an air softer or a kid who shoots once a year

Don’t mind him he’s never had an ar

[coarse laurel]

Idk if ur trolling or what

[snow scarab]

post gun bitch boy

[plush topaz]

Uh

[coarse laurel]

I wish he was an airsofter so he’d come play with me

[coarse laurel]

@snow scarab wanna know how my night is going?

[snow scarab]

absolutely

[coarse laurel]

We took turns pushing the fucking MRAZR for 6 miles

It’s almost 03:00

I’m done

[snow scarab]

tf happened 😂

[coarse laurel]

Transmission killed itself

Had to push it with the humvee on the steep uphill

[snow scarab]

that’s hilarious

[stuck hazel]

Not a fun day out

[naive maple]

you know, being a civilian is pretty swell

you get to only do the cool shit

[plush topaz]

Have you heard of a tow truck

For instance maybe the one you're driving in in that exact photo

Tow straps exist

[jade mango]

lol right? no way not one of them had a bit of paracord or some shit on them.

hell, if you guys didnt want to walk, a couple of shoelaces tied together probably would have worked well enough, too

[plush topaz]

PARACORD LMAO

[coarse laurel]

We didn’t have any there lol

We were in the middle of no where

[coarse laurel]

Yeah no, that’s the dumbest way to go about it especially when there’s rolling hills

MRAZR’s are heavier than you think, paracord and goddamn shoelaces aint rated to handle that

[coarse laurel]

I’m driving the ambulance version of a humvee too, it was sketchy enough pushing it like this without brushguards

[plush topaz]

Ah so you did shunt it a bit.

Good

I'm still laughing at shoelaces

Even regular tow straps wouldn't cut it

[coarse laurel]

Those hills were steep

Like they were designed to be steep as fuck for rangers to ruck in and suffer lol

[plush topaz]

Do you hold that best ranger competition there?

[storm peak]

So yall got FLAs but no wreckers to tow shit?

[coarse laurel]

We don’t lol

[coarse laurel]

We held part of the competition here

[ashen edge]

The start of my IFAK

Still waiting on other stuff

[plush topaz]

Say that's a mighty fine Israeli

[ashen edge]

Only the best!

(Also was hella cheap and the ones we had in basic)

The pouch is weird tho I can’t see how to attach the bungee

Does anyone know where I attach it at

[plush topaz]

Pull it through the drain hole and tie a knot

[ashen edge]

Ah thanks

I plan to use this for EDC on my belt I’m using this pouch because it’s the only one I ever trained on, might get a different one later

I do like it a lot though

I like that the insert is always attached to the wearer

[snow scarab]

don’t use it

that’s the best way too

those ones suck ass

use the IFAK II

i can send you one that has a full kit plus TQ and pouch for like 150 bucks

[ashen edge]

I can get the pouch for like 20 and I already have the components ordered

[snow scarab]

ah

yeah just get one of these

bigger but it’s much easier and simpler to use

[ashen edge]

Prolly will I just got this cos it’s the one I know how to use already

[misty mango]

BFG blowout>

[ashen edge]

uses pouch on cas, moves cas, more problems, left insert

[misty mango]

why would you use your ifak on other people?

[ashen edge]

not what i meant

[misty mango]

also just tie it to you

dummy cord everything

[ashen edge]

the BFG blowout has no spot for it without modification

personally dont want to be cutting holes in my med kit

also the idea of trying to pull chest seals out of a recessed pocket sounds like a nigthmare if your hands are wet

im watching a vid and the guy is havign trouble pulling them out with dry hands under no stress

yah no thanks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjtMFdx8HLY

cool idea but not something i would mess with

the IFAK 2 seems a lot better

[misty mango]

wait shi

my ass said BFG didnt i?

meant LBT

the fuckin abreviations ruining my rart brain

[ashen edge]

lol

yah cos the BFG looks like a death trap

[snow scarab]

no

[misty mango]

read later down

it was a tism moment

i corrected myself

[snow scarab]

he’s talking about on a plate carrier

so still no on the lbt

i knew what you meant

personally i’m getting a ferro roll 1 if my unit allows it

[misty mango]

throw it on the bund and its kino

[snow scarab]

and running a bfg micro

[misty mango]

but yeah
roll 1 peak PC ifak

[ashen edge]

i dont like the LBT either tbh

[snow scarab]

compact chest seals, small quikclot, compressed gauze, and gloves

[snow scarab]

it’s better for a belt mounted

[untold sable]

bought these for 30 bucks total

[ashen edge]

the idea of having relativly loose contents doesnt sit well with me

also the idea of a recessed poket is not something i like

i can totally see myself struggling to get a grip on the packaged items with bloody fingers

[snow scarab]

you aren’t grabbing shit out of it

[ashen edge]

vs just grabbing an already exposed item

[snow scarab]

your ifak is not for you to use

it’s for others to use on you

[untold sable]

why do you need an ifak

[snow scarab]

belt kits are to be used on others if anything due to it being a small amount of medical supplies

[untold sable]

who is gonna shoot you

[ashen edge]

same idea to me

[snow scarab]

just go away lol

[ashen edge]

i live in a college town and work in a public space, do you carry a gun or any other defensive equipment like mace? why would you do that nobody is going to attack you?

[ancient grail]

@coarse laurel :3

[ashen edge]

also we had some lamo neo yazi show up and start assaulting people litterally a street down from where i work

[untold sable]

i don't see a reason to carry more than a handgun and a single magazine

[snow scarab]

240 based

[ashen edge]

but why, whos going to attack you are you just paranoid?

[snow scarab]

are you deploying soon? isn’t this like your second NTC in 6 months @ancient grail lol

[plush topaz]

You just dump it all out

[ancient grail]

No lol

At

[ashen edge]

ah

makes sense

[snow scarab]

ah, gotcha

i’m missing mine cause i’m gonna be at MOS-Q for 19D

[plush topaz]

A lot of ifaks have retainers for everything

[untold sable]

i mean jesus an ifak, like a big ass pouch, are you going around everywhere carrying a plate carrier and a rifle too?

[ashen edge]

still not my thing tho i lose alot of shit

[ancient grail]

Yes

[ashen edge]

its not that large bro

[snow scarab]

i carry a medical kit with everything an IFAK has in my car

[plush topaz]

IFAK stays in the truck

[snow scarab]

i had to deal with someone threatening to shoot people two days ago

it would’ve saved lives

same as carrying a handgun

[untold sable]

lmao truck

[ashen edge]

at this time i cant carry a gun, so i carry a knife legal in my state , and now an ifak

[plush topaz]

?

Are trucks funny? I don't get it

[untold sable]

trucks are so fucking dumb

[plush topaz]

Oh... Ok.

[ashen edge]

oh hes just a contrarian dickhead

nvm

[snow scarab]

not to mention you could severely injure yourself at any point in the day

[plush topaz]

[untold sable]

No, i just like good cars

[snow scarab]

lmfao sure

[untold sable]

Swedes make the best cars and they don't make trucks

[ashen edge]

nobody asked guy

[plush topaz]

Is this kid for real

Swedish cars?

[ashen edge]

"im so different and quirky, he he"

[plush topaz]

Like Saab was cool I guess.

But they went bust

Whats left. Volvo?

[ashen edge]

L

[untold sable]

Saabs

those are amazing cars

[misty mango]

and ironically enough
they make trucks

[plush topaz]

Like, actual trucks.

But they're dumb remember

[untold sable]

Like what are the benefits of a truck

[misty mango]

do you live in the suburbs by chance?

and work an office job?

[plush topaz]

How old are you?

[ashen edge]

farm work and moving shit?

[untold sable]

you have no trunk, you are more likely to get in a car accident, you spend more money on gasoline to name a few things

[plush topaz]

I get the feeling this kid doesn't even have a license

[misty mango]

doesnt realise truck beds can be covered by an additional panel

[misty mango]

making it a bigass "trunk"

[ashen edge]

i dont ever plan on getting a truck simply because i dont need one and i like money

[misty mango]

just say youre short

also you picked out the biggest trucks on the market

not the traditional pickup

[ashen edge]

f2f is hot tho

[misty mango]

the only people with bigass trucks like that are suburban idiots that compensate

90's pickups hit diff

[plush topaz]

Dumb

[misty mango]

im a hilux enjoyer personally

[ashen edge]

these are big sex

[plush topaz]

Wow

Beauty

But dumb

[ashen edge]

ther are ones without much lift that are beter IMO

i like older pickups

[misty mango]

real

theyre so swanky

[ashen edge]

because they arent comically large

[misty mango]

(still have the same bed space)

[plush topaz]

They need to bring back small trucks

They've all gotten huge

[ashen edge]

hell yah

[misty mango]

small square trucks were so nice

[ashen edge]

old toyotas are nice

specifically the toyota hilux

[misty mango]

80's hilux💜

[ashen edge]

😩

big sex

[misty mango]

theyre so beautiful

just wish it was viable to own one here

and if they even existed anymore

[ashen edge]

another UK L

[misty mango]

truly

[ashen edge]

i could prolly find one on FB marketplace

[misty mango]

more the case of expense tbh

[plush topaz]

God damn

[ashen edge]

the older hiluxs are just hot

[misty mango]

even the new one doesnt look bad tbh

[untold sable]

older hiluxes are only trucks i like

[misty mango]

shes a curvy gal

[ashen edge]

i like the older boxy trucks and the vintage curvy ones

like 50s

[untold sable]

that's because of seeing a top gear episode where the british guys just absolutely fucked one and it still worked

[misty mango]

yeah

100%

[untold sable]

and seeing how extensively it is in use by all these insurgents, it's probably pretty reliable

[misty mango]

but the 2010 ones when built for epeditions are hot

[ashen edge]

never watched top gear also shut up noone cares

[untold sable]

i can't surely say the same about other trucks though

[ancient grail]

Not enough gear posting

[misty mango]

missing out tbh

[misty mango]

cars have gears

[ashen edge]

so ive heard

[ashen edge]

true

[untold sable]

gonna post this pic again then

[misty mango]

the top gear arctic hilux💜

[ancient grail]

Not enough cool gear posting*

[untold sable]

is it not cool?

what's wrong with it

it's old school and swag as hell

leather stuff is just cool

[ashen edge]

I got a L light from basic and 20 bulbs I stole from lights that where left out

[misty mango]

based

[ashen edge]

Even the spare in the base

All gone

I used c cells. tape and a paperclips to make “candles” they made FG less alone feeling

[plush topaz]

I love the rifle case hanging off the back

[ancient grail]

Up your game nerd we took mp humvees

[ashen edge]

In basic I cleaned .50s our drill sergeant stole from another battery after being denied access to them for our training

[snow scarab]

not gear lol

[untold sable]

i don't really buy a lot of the newer gear, i don't own body armor or anything like that, because i know i will never need to use any

[ashen edge]

Gear post, happy?

[untold sable]

i mainly buy load bearing equipment and stuff for larping, if i buy gear

[untold sable]

what is it then

and besides, body armor is a fucking meme anyways

[plush topaz]

Gear

[untold sable]

if someone is gonna shoot you, he is gonna keep shooting till you are dead, and his buddies are gonna too

[snow scarab]

that moment when body armor saved literally tens of thousands of lives in modern combat

[untold sable]

Are you getting in modern combat?

[plush topaz]

You have got to be joking

This is your excuse

[ancient grail]

Mf posted the most goober surplus haul and expected is to be impressed

[untold sable]

also there's a bit of survivorship bias

[misty mango]

was because of polar bears

[untold sable]

like for example, russians don't generally stop shooting until the mag is empty

[misty mango]

where on earth did you get that info lmao

[untold sable]

the ones that got saved by the body armor are the rare lucky few, most are just dead

[plush topaz]

Yeah. He's a child

[untold sable]

and the first civilian operator in recent history had a cheap AR, a sightmark, no spare mags and a t-shirt

[plush topaz]

No adult talks such nonsense

[ancient grail]

Gear to cleanse chat

[untold sable]

all this money wasted on useless gear could be spent on guns and ammo too

because those you can actually shoot in your backyard

you ain't doing nothing with level IV plates on your backyard

[misty mango]

stop holes
prevent holes
make holes

in that order

kit before gun

[ancient grail]

Why would I be shooting in my suburban neighborhood backyard lol

[untold sable]

Who is gonna shoot you?

[misty mango]

survivability over the ability to fight if need be

[misty mango]

who knows

[untold sable]

Do the paper targets fire back?

[misty mango]

ive been shot before

[ancient grail]

Lets go dodgers🗣💯

[untold sable]

maybe don't do shrooms before you go shooting

[misty mango]

no but people do

[ashen edge]

Closest thing I got to useful kit still no plates only thing I got with plates is a 6b23-1

[ancient grail]

Bro is right I don't need any of this equipment that could potentially save my life

[untold sable]

This is issued by the military is it not?

[ancient grail]

No lol

Wearing military issued gear?

[untold sable]

Do they fail to give you body armor

[ancient grail]

Yucky

As a Civilian you shouldn't own these items

They're silly

[untold sable]

You are not in afghanistan

and you are not going there anymore

[ancient grail]

I'm not around things that can go boom

I should just take off my armor when I'm running live arty fire

The enemy doesn't exist

[untold sable]

you are literally just a civilian that larps at this point

[ashen edge]

why do you have any kit then?

[ancient grail]

I shouldn't have training on medical ifaks or how to save people lives

[ashen edge]

i think this dude is just stupid

[untold sable]

Carrying magazines when im shooting on my backyard, that's pretty much it

[misty mango]

oh no
people are allowed to do what they want

no way

[ashen edge]

dunno if its intentional

[ancient grail]

I shouldn't co train with medics to learn how to save lives based on different injuries

[ashen edge]

i meant that to the dumbass saying we shouldnt have any not to you

[misty mango]

i gotta get me some raptors fr

[ancient grail]

Post sum bitches nerd

[untold sable]

You will never be a real operator

quit wasting your money

[ashen edge]

i own it cos i want it and i find it interesting

[misty mango]

[snow scarab]

ah yes. i’m a larper. a professional larper that is

so is literally every single member of the military who hasn’t seen combat

[misty mango]

even then
once youre back stateside youre larping

[ancient grail]

Twah it's fucking awesome

[snow scarab]

meh, you’re a combat veteran at that point

[ancient grail]

Stuffed animals from loved ones🗣💯

[misty mango]

should get him IR treated

[snow scarab]

uh cool dude?

[misty mango]

💯

[snow scarab]

fuck off lol

[untold sable]

Woah you got shot once in afghanistan, literally the military issue stuff could have worked just as well, and you still keep wasting money buying more gear of the useless kind

[snow scarab]

i’m not making myself seem special at all if anything. i’m just making my self even more of the majority lol

[misty mango]

you know what the difference between bottom of the barrel and preffered shit is?

[snow scarab]

not useless. more comfortable, more modular, easier to use, lighter weight, can carry more weight, etc etc

[untold sable]

You are wasting money

[misty mango]

who are you to say that

[untold sable]

the military stuff is just as good

[misty mango]

HAH

[ancient grail]

Lol

[misty mango]

THERE IT IS

[ashen edge]

nobody gives a fuck what you think

[misty mango]

just as good doesnt exist in the gear world dumbass

[snow scarab]

AHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

[misty mango]

you get what you pay for

[ancient grail]

(Buys 4 surplus items)

[misty mango]

unless its ferro

[ancient grail]

Like that isn't wasting money?

[misty mango]

no?

[untold sable]

I got them for pretty much half free

[plush topaz]

Just as good

[ancient grail]

Actually

[plush topaz]

Half free

[ancient grail]

Anything I own that isn't essential is wasting money

[plush topaz]

[untold sable]

and i like retro stuff

[misty mango]

(everything you run)

[snow scarab]

which one of these looks more comfortable, breathable, and lighter to fight in?

[misty mango]

uhmmm
right one obviously

duhh

[snow scarab]

btw, the IOTV without plates weighs as much as my kit with plates lol

[ashen edge]

and we like modern stuff, what sort of cognitive dissidence do you have

[misty mango]

love me spinal compression

[ancient grail]

I'm just a silly little cosplayer

[untold sable]

keep coping, you wasted money when you could have just bought literal airsoft gear that serves the same purpose, you will never operate

[snow scarab]

aha

[misty mango]

lmao

[snow scarab]

you’re hilariously uneducated it’s hilarious

[misty mango]

shut up mate

[untold sable]

[ancient grail]

[misty mango]

you wasted your money on gear

you inept troglodyte

[plush topaz]

Body armour serves many purposes outside of work and war. It allows you to protect yourself at the range or God forbid you had to defend yourself or respond to a civilian threat.

The most important reason? Training. Wearing weighted kit promotes and maintains your muscle growth and cardiovascular strength.

[ashen edge]

gives himself cancer "this is far better than any sort of hobby that costs money"

[misty mango]

running in plates is a peak workout

[untold sable]

Are you wearing body armor at a range?

[misty mango]

shits tiring

[ancient grail]

Being a nerd and larping with toy guns 🗣💯

[untold sable]

[ancient grail]

Im just a sad little larper according to @pulsar tusk

(He has not posted a physique reveal)

[misty mango]

only time i dont like wearing body armour when shooting or whatever is when i have to ruck up anywhere

das when da chest rigs come out

[untold sable]

I can in fact handle the weight, i am simply not a weirdo that brings those to a range

[plush topaz]

Fit check is required by law

[ashen edge]

[untold sable]

[ancient grail]

Womp womp

[snow scarab]

[plush topaz]

So you're saying I'm weird for maintaining the skills I learned in the military and use at work? I'm weird for protecting myself? I'm weird for exercising?

[ashen edge]

why would you own a gun? you arent in afgahnistan! and dont say fro fun cos you are just a dumb larper!

[untold sable]

guns are fun

[misty mango]

[oblique sorrel]

the amount of getting flagged by idiots at the range I've experienced is not zero
if it was zero it'd feel silly

[untold sable]

ffs i'm not anti gun, i am just anti spending your money on dumb shit

[ashen edge]

fun isnt a real reason you just want to larp and pretend to be an operator

fucking cringe

imagine being that dumb!

[misty mango]

[ancient grail]

[misty mango]

[ancient grail]

[untold sable]

[misty mango]

so true

what creature even is that

[ancient grail]

Bro larps as a firearm owner

[misty mango]

i need to add one to the collection

[oblique sorrel]

not enjoying the killing things doesn't make someone a cringe larper

[ashen edge]

bro spent hundreds on some shit he has no real use for such a waste, you should be ashamed

[misty mango]

shhhh
we're using his logic against him

[untold sable]

goes beyond my point

[oblique sorrel]

body armor's practical whenever guns are nearby though yes

[ancient grail]

Someone got evaporated by this🇺🇲🇺🇲

[untold sable]

guns are actually fun, you can shoot paper targets with them in your backyard

[ancient grail]

Wow

Paper targets

[untold sable]

what can you do with body armor in your backyard

[ashen edge]

suprise nobody cares, go be unhappy somewhere else

[misty mango]

but thats a waste

since theres no real use for that

[ancient grail]

Bro does nothing with his guns

[oblique sorrel]

not get perforated by your neighbor who was doing the same thing in your direction

[ancient grail]

Now post groupings

[ashen edge]

medical equipment even more so

[ancient grail]

Post 300m groupings

[ashen edge]

[misty mango]

target on fence
suburban neighborhood
live ammo

[ancient grail]

Nah bro trust it's useless

[misty mango]

every day i wish i took pics of my groupings

[ancient grail]

You shouldn't have that knowledge

[misty mango]

had a solid one with irons at 300

[ancient grail]

Because ur a larper that needs to grow up

Isn't that right @pulsar tusk

[misty mango]

[oblique sorrel]

I mean I'll talk shit about building an IFAK instead of just buying a filler pack for one

[misty mango]

yeah but fillers have everything you dont need and nothing you do

[ancient grail]

Mine had tweezers lmao

[oblique sorrel]

eh I've found a few good ones

[misty mango]

💀

[ancient grail]

It's been easier to make your own especially if you know what to get

[misty mango]

last one i got had regular ass scissors in it

[oblique sorrel]

it's the refill packs that suck

[misty mango]

can typically be cheaper aswell

and works better if you know what the intended use for it will be is

if its general injury set it for that

if its GSW then you need a different setup

[ancient grail]

@misty mango I am a sad larper that needs to grow up
My entire life is larper
I dont have a life outside of larping
I'm unhappy because I'm a grown man having fun with a stuffed animal that my girl gave me

According to @pulsar tusk

[misty mango]

truly a sad day for larpers😔

[ancient grail]

I'll keep this going lol

[oblique sorrel]

[misty mango]

@misty mango just remembered bro he's right I'm a sad little larper
The context of saying bait after an insult isn't a casual thing people do when they realize they're wrong

[misty mango]

do the VC's not have their own text channels anymore?

"Hahaha ha you took the bait bro"

"Trust me bro it was funny"

[timber fog]

Damn, they got 4k?

I always miss the good shit

[ashen edge]

[timber fog]

How do you like the uw gen vi? I’m going to get another rig soon and I’ve been looking at the vi and a couple other things

[snow scarab]

[timber fog]

Needs to take ak mags

[misty mango]

the gen VI is the one for 308 aint it?

[snow scarab]

ah

[misty mango]

[timber fog]

Has inserts for em, yeah

[timber fog]

So that said, is the vi kinda mid or what?

[snow scarab]

[plush topaz]

@stuck hazel seriously how could you tell

[muted gate]

it wont

[stuck hazel]

It’s the default Tacticool goober jacket, that for some reason nobody knows the name of

The arm pockets are also really damn dsictinctive

[low fox]

Can anyone show me their gear I’m curious as to how they set it up

[stuck hazel]

It’s also the one you see all the Amazon clones of

[stuck hazel]

What are you trying to create

[low fox]

No idea

I just want to look cool for the most part

Planning on starting airsoft in the future though

[muted gate]

do you know how little that narrows it down

[stuck hazel]

I love being bias

[unborn bramble]

expect the worst so you'll never be disappointed. 😎

[muted gate]

dude, i may have a line on a korean Granite carrier

But its a shit ton with soft armor

[low fox]

I’m not looking for anything specific I’m just curious as to how others went about buying gear putting it together etc

[stuck hazel]

Bro I didn’t know that was the cash money shit

I wouldn’t slate it so much if I did lol

[muted gate]

?

english?

[stuck hazel]

I didn’t know it cost so much

[muted gate]

it doesnt, hes just fucking me

its 450 without the soft armor

hes charging me another carrier for hte soft armor

fuck me the KHB helmets he wants a grand

[stuck hazel]

Damn get a new plug man Jesus

[muted gate]

there isnt one

[stuck hazel]

Go to izurumi I’m sure he’ll know someone

[muted gate]

you cant get em out of supply

these are okay prices, it just hurts

[stuck hazel]

Thinking about all the non granite b stuff you could be buying with that money

[muted gate]

this is me you are talking to

[stuck hazel]

I’m aware I’m not changing your mind lol

[muted gate]

im gonna see if i can argue a lower price

tho i may have a line for a KHB not from him

[stuck hazel]

If you’ve been buying shit off him I’m sure he will be a little leaniant

[muted gate]

i havent

[stuck hazel]

Oh

Well

Unlucky wallet

I’m presuming he’s exporting from Korea

[muted gate]

No just some american schmuck who gets it out

Tbf shipping is aids

[stuck hazel]

Ship him some form of incendiary device and forge his will with all his SK suprlus in your name

That’s definitely an option

[muted gate]

Lol

[low fox]

Thank you

[stuck hazel]

Personally couldn’t imagine blurring my face out

[low fox]

Looks good man 👍

Did you purchase your gear off websites? I can’t find any where to buy gear in canada

Other then Amazon or maybe a few sketch sites

[plush topaz]

I'm Canadian. Tons of options here.

But a lot also involve shipping from the states unfortunately

[low fox]

I was hoping to avoid shipping from the states lol

[low fox]

Idk I don’t really see many stores near me a lot of them have closed

Unless I’m not looking in the right place, which then is my fault

[plush topaz]

Dm me. I'm going out can't talk now

[karmic pelican]

what's a good choice for a starter rig/carrier?

[muted gate]

ebay jpc 2

unless you have a specific kit you want

[karmic pelican]

im inbetween three choice of kits. The cheapo one, the canadian made stuff or some russian/soviet items

(canadian being canarmor but id have to check if they have a rig with pockets)

[muted gate]

get a QBZ and go chinese

[karmic pelican]

chinese is nono

soviet would be a ANA tactical Alpha or M1/M2

(I can't seem to find a M1 anywhere)

[muted gate]

greyshitters

and demych

[karmic pelican]

i can find find Alphas vest tho All out of stock

[muted gate]

kinda a shitty time lul

[karmic pelican]

the war i guess lol

and greyshitters?

[muted gate]

greyshop

you can also email or message demych to see if he can get you one

[karmic pelican]

demych can hunt down items?

[muted gate]

i think so

[karmic pelican]

https://russianarmyshop.eu/tactical-vests/702-ana-universal-universal-vest.html?search_query=ANA&results=29 i did find this ANA vest

tho also reading on it, the Alpha vest can carry plates

but yah, i guess this universal vest is the current choice, but if i can find a M1 or Alpha at a decent price, il take em

@muted gate https://www.dgbakery.site/products/korund_vm_oldgen

[karmic pelican]

https://youtu.be/2nYPYKm4zns

https://www.us-elitegear.com/products/tasmanian-tiger-chest-rig-mk-ii

oh wait

the ANA vest is a copy of a copy, the OG is tasmanian's

https://youtu.be/_w5TQ2F1vJ8

[karmic pelican]

Tho question, is there stand-alone stomach armor to add on to vests that only cover the thorax?

[ancient grail]

Stomach armor

[desert solstice]

Anyone know of any safety glasses that are polarized with clear lenses? I can only wear clear/lightly tinted lenses to work and safety glasses are mandatory but id like some polarized ones

[karmic pelican]

@ancient grail Ya know, armor for the belly? Unless I don't out plate in the carrier and go with a full bulletproof vest under it

[ancient grail]

Rather silly to just have Belly armor

Also doesn't exist

Lol

[karmic pelican]

By standalone belly armor, i meant used in conjunction with a carrier on the thorax. who tf would wear naked thorax with belly armor?

[muted gate]

...... no

[karmic pelican]

guess for a armor vest, il look at canarmor. Tho, those might just be ceramics

https://www.ar500armor.com/abdominal-pouch.html

There seem to be an add-on for some vests at least

[low fox]

im going to get a jpc 2.0 off ebay as my first rig

[plush topaz]

Polarized clear lenses? I've never heard of that

The whole point of polarization is to reduce glare.

[desert solstice]

Guy at my work has some that are like yellow tinted

[plush topaz]

Yellow isn't an issue to find.

But clear is pointless

With polarization anyway

[desert solstice]

By clear I meant they have to see my eyes

So they cant be sunglasses

[plush topaz]

What work requires to see your eyes? Just curious

You should have no problem finding yellow safety glasses

[desert solstice]

Just a tire shop, some bs safety rule

[plush topaz]

True

[timber fog]

Those rules were paid for in blood

Or in this case, probably an eye

[desert solstice]

Yes the slightly tinted sunglasses made him lose an eye

[timber fog]

I would assume they’re supposed to be impact resistant

If not I feel like that’d only be more dangerous

[stuck hazel]

Look at Oakley

[misty mango]

Oakley, ESS and Revision

[desert solstice]

Thanks
