[coarse laurel]

Can’t say most

Also inaccurate as fuck.

Not doing shit implies no one is doing their jobs

One of the contributing factors for low retention and recruitment is the fact that the US military has the most punishing OPTEMPO of any military regardless of its peacetime of war time, everyone is literally going overseas like clockwork for shit like Atlantic resolve, Korea, Pacific Pathways, Operation Spartan Shield at least on the Army side. Army literally kept this optempo up since GWOT there’s a reason why people spend so much time away at home or even out of country

Burn out is showing

We also laugh at the POGs but folks forget that a simple 88M truck driver probably saw more action than normal grunts

[plush topaz]

Lol. I meant in terms of combat

So relax

[coarse laurel]

It’s by design I guess. I see as we finish fights quick that’s why people end up not doing shit.

[plush topaz]

Hell yeah!

Best way of looking at it lol

[coarse laurel]

Better that than being like Ukraine and being stuck in the trenches lmao

Fuckkkk that

[plush topaz]

No thx

[coarse laurel]

I’d rather suck start a 9mm than wait for a drone to drop grenades on my head

But yeah I hate the fact that I work so much during peace time but granted my job is to help produce Rangers for the Army.

Im typing this as I get out of a 48hour shift

Next shift is on Sunday

[muted gate]

@coarse laurel i cant tell who has it worse

the inf guys, ADA, or the arty guys

the 777 operators learned scoot and shoot fast or died

ADA guys have been doing really well from what i hear

[plush topaz]

I always wonder what it's like for the guys who spent years training ANA for literally zero purpose

[muted gate]

bitter and jaded last i heard

pissed off that the ANA guys who actually wanted to fight got shafted

[plush topaz]

I bring it up with my colleague (Iraq veteran not afghan) just to piss him off

Iraq was way better off

But still

[muted gate]

dude, people are pissed their terps didnt get out

[plush topaz]

How Isis managed to conquer half of Iraq is an embarrassment in itself

[muted gate]

that was a very complicated issue

ISI which was Al-Qaida started causing a major shit in like 2011 iirc

and really took hold due to the massive drawdown of us troops from 2009-2011

we went from like 130k us troops in 09 to like 50k in 2010-11

2012 saw less than 20k

Iraq from what i understand largley has fixed alot of its issues

mosul got liberated by ISOF in 2016

currently its gone back to asymmetric counter terror kerfuffle

[plush topaz]

Thanks for the lesson

[muted gate]

die

[marsh flint]

im glad Isis is gone

[formal onyx]

The 80's Radio operator Larp rucksack is packed

And ready for a weekend of Dress up with the boys

[ashen edge]

Wherent radio ops durring Vietnam given an average life expectancy of 5 minutes once shooting started

[muted gate]

5-30 seconds

the issue was that the VC and NVA learned that the big boom dont happen if the dude cant call it in

so you had to hide the prick

https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fpreview.redd.it%2Fmy-fully-functional-vietnam-war-prc-77-radio-v0-ew9raeiya2091.jpg%3Fwidth%3D640%26crop%3Dsmart%26auto%3Dwebp%26s%3D607248454054bb080c98b6ccd963f7ea62374f11

basically you would slap it onto an alice frame (the og frame sucks). use an alice back on the bottom, claymorebags, canteens, shovels, etc

[formal onyx]

5 seconds or so, a 3ft antenna makes you a target

[formal onyx]

That isn't an Alice pack but you are correct

[muted gate]

on that photo, its on an alice frame with an alice on the bottom

with a claymore bag

[formal onyx]

No it's not

[muted gate]

this is alice

[formal onyx]

It's a P65 or P68 Rucksack

AKA a Lightweight rucksack

[muted gate]

oh shit it is lmao, my point still stands (the medium field pack is adapted from the 68 so im right )

pack is nearly the same when it ocnverted over i hate those old frames

[formal onyx]

I like my Alice Frame but I prefer the Lightweight rucksack frame more

[muted gate]

both suck

[formal onyx]

To each their own

[muted gate]

the shoulder straps make me hate them

[formal onyx]

Honestly the lightweight frame with the nylon cargo straps make it more comfortable in my opinion, and the thinner straps on the Lightweight make it more comfortable from my experience

[muted gate]

they squeeze your neck with weight

[formal onyx]

And there are Alice shoulder straps on the frame in that pic but I got original straps recently

[muted gate]

i can tell you from dealing with 50 armored archival shit

literally everything was used with everything

no one gave a shit

[formal onyx]

Well for re enacting that's a different story

[muted gate]

meh, contemperary photo showing its done, i do it

[formal onyx]

Doesn't work w the Alice shoulder straps on a lightweight unfortunatley

[muted gate]

if the lightweight frames kick around past 73 (they did) it works

[formal onyx]

Alice packs didn't get issued until after we left Vietnam

[muted gate]

well technically we did send test shit over to nam

and germany

[formal onyx]

That would need to be LC-1 Alice stuff, which I don't have anyways

[muted gate]

due to the fact that alice is essentually modified 67

[muted gate]

i have footlockers full of the shit, all the gens, 1 or 2 test pieces

[formal onyx]

Ooooo M-56 gear

I have some experimental pouches from the 70's

[muted gate]

full set of 67

i have a single photo on negative, of a medic strapped with the commo gear

hating life

[formal onyx]

Very nice

[muted gate]

ive got everything from ww1- the 90s

then some GWOT but not a terrible amount

[formal onyx]

I'm mostly working on 90's Force recon right now

[muted gate]

fuuuuuuck that bullshit

[formal onyx]

I have most of the hard stuff, minus the Safariland holster

[muted gate]

nope, still bullshit

cause what you think is normal, isnt

[ashen edge]

I just remembered this but I’m p sure one of my drill instructors still had a Alice park

[formal onyx]

I have the CQBE AVS Vest, and the correct Helmet liner, buddy of mine is selling me the belt soon

[muted gate]

alice stuck around well into MOLLE due to issue issues and the internal frame ruck FUCKING SUCKS DONKEY DICK

WHOEVER SIGNED OFF ON THAT MASSIVE POS

okay, MOLLE 1 when it got intro'd had the worst fucking ruck

[ashen edge]

He switched it out with a MOLLE 2000 some guy left when he was booted so maybe not much of an upgrade

[muted gate]

it was an internal frame POS that breaks all the fucking time

[muted gate]

molle 2000 is fine

im talking MOLLE gen 1

[ashen edge]

Ah

CIF didn’t even want them back when dudes left

[muted gate]

i have one, i dotn want to dig it out

[formal onyx]

Missing the chin cup but it works

[ashen edge]

That the marine type PASGT

[muted gate]

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/RmwAAOSw5rFhIIzj/s-l1600.jpg

this fucking turd

[formal onyx]

No it's just a basic PASGT

[formal onyx]

Oh the CFP-90

[ashen edge]

Are you sure the suspension looks different

[formal onyx]

It's a Force recon suspension

[muted gate]

love the assault pack

HATE THE FUCKING RUCK

[ashen edge]

Do you have the pads or the m1 types shit

[muted gate]

actualy its not molle, sorry

its the stupid proto molle

IIFS

WHICH IS JUST FUCK

[formal onyx]

It has the foam disc pad for a basic PASGT and some other piece of foam, other than that it's only padded on the front and back of the sweatband

[muted gate]

GOD IM STILL SEETHING OVER IIFS

[ashen edge]

What is the production date?

[formal onyx]

The helmet or the suspension?

[ashen edge]

Mine ls an 89 from unicor and it’s got some other shit going on

[formal onyx]

The helmet is an early 2000's production that I've had, I need to get another 80's PASGT for it

And idk when the suspension was made, but probably mid 90's

My 82nd AB helmet I'm working on is 80's

I'm missing the crash pad and the extra strap for it

[ashen edge]

I only asked cos I know the marine corps had an updated one with pads and modern Sykes suspension

Which that looked like

[formal onyx]

Ah, understandable

[ashen edge]

Cos mine got that m1 type shit going one

[ashen edge]

Primitive ass suspension

[formal onyx]

I don't hate the PASGT Suspension tbh

It works

[ashen edge]

It’s not bad

[formal onyx]

Also 1977 dated sweatband on your helmet, nice

[muted gate]

see i have something none of you do

[ashen edge]

And it has more airflow than moddernpads

[muted gate]

the funny beret

[ashen edge]

Usable kit?

[formal onyx]

I'm going to get a Beret

[muted gate]

dude

[formal onyx]

Eventually

[muted gate]

the story of these guys is fucking hilarious

[formal onyx]

I have something not many people will ever have

[muted gate]

So the 50th AD, which was NJ NG, had airborne

with an airborne tab

so, a national guard division had like 100 LRS dudes that were there for a blip

[ashen edge]

And the unkown(90’s-2015ish prolly)date NVG mount😎 ( I will never be able to afford the things that attach to this)

[formal onyx]

Nice

I got an East Bengal Regiment Beret

With the pin and such on it

Lemme go dig it out in a moment

[muted gate]

@formal onyx found the citation lmao

LRS Detachment,
5th Sqdn,
117th Cavalry

stationed in westfield armory in 1987

[formal onyx]

Nice

[quaint harness]

I think I read they are going back to straight green CARC after their refit from depot. And then it is up to the units to apply the woodland or whatever.

[muted gate]

woe, RHKR(V) be upon ye

[maiden kernel]

Tri tone NATO camo

[plush topaz]

Bro

Shave your beret Jesus christ

[storm peak]

yours looks sunbleached without much wear habibi

[storm peak]

shape and shave your beret bro

shits in chef's hat mode

[plush topaz]

That infers wear

[formal onyx]

Not even my beret, my dad got it from a Bengaladesh soldier while he was in the army, traded it for a boot knife

[storm peak]

sunbleached can also mean it sat on your dashboard

[plush topaz]

My dashboard where

In Canada?

We don't have sun

[storm peak]

F

[plush topaz]

Shit talker prime

Love you

[snow scarab]

god

i hated shaving my beret

[storm peak]

i say min wear because the black reem is still shiny

[formal onyx]

And the thing is like, 30 ish years old actually, lol

[storm peak]

G wearing a beret just for basic doesnt mean anything

shits suppose to be daily wear

[snow scarab]

our DS forced us to make it look perfect

[formal onyx]

Once I get a Maroon Beret and such for my 82nd AB kit I'll shave and shape that

[snow scarab]

and i’m glad it isn’t

it looks stupid as fuck

[formal onyx]

But since the East Bengal Beret doesn't even fit me, And it's old af I'm not gonna bother

[storm peak]

at bragg theres a ton of shops that sell preshaped ones, look at general jacksons store (its right outside of yadkin gate)

[storm peak]

pc looks stupid af tbh

shits a mess

[snow scarab]

not as much as berets

and just shape your PC lol

[formal onyx]

Id prefer the Patrol cap over a Beret for practicality reasons

[storm peak]

i mean considering that ive only worn berets for my career, it feels gross to wear a pc

[snow scarab]

air force has got it right with the ball cap

[storm peak]

now the question is why lool

[plush topaz]

Coca cola

[rigid panther]

My God early 2000s flashbacks

I respect the drip though, can't even lie

[formal onyx]

They do be drippy af

[rigid panther]

@plush topaz well I was gonna get a multicam cerakote job, but I got quoted 600$ 😫

[plush topaz]

[rigid panther]

Handguard, upper, and a2 stock💀

[plush topaz]

Not even full rifle for 600?

[rigid panther]

Nope

[plush topaz]

Gtfo

[rigid panther]

That's exactly what I thought dude

How the fuck is this man still in business

I'll just rattle can the damn thing

[plush topaz]

Noveske green

[rigid panther]

But eh

[plush topaz]

Which is like $140 US

[rigid panther]

What is that attachment you have on the pistol grip?

I've always seen it but never asked

[plush topaz]

Pressure pad for my light

Hockey tape around it

[rigid panther]

No this

[plush topaz]

The IR laser pressure pad is recessed in the handguard.

[plush topaz]

Bipod

Sorry I read handguard.

[rigid panther]

Huhh???

How tf

[plush topaz]

Proprietary for the Tavor

[rigid panther]

You'll have to show me better pics when you get home

[plush topaz]

It's perfection for a bullpup

[rigid panther]

Alright that's fuckin cool

[plush topaz]

Ya I put 3m safewalk tape on the leg tips

So it grips any surface

[coarse laurel]

@snow scarab duno why ur complaining about berets when ur guard and u barely wear em lol

[snow scarab]

i mean, don’t most people barely wear them?

[coarse laurel]

lol airborne units wear them, my unit wears it

im forced to wear mine outside of the AO

[snow scarab]

i said most

ik airborne and rangers love their berets

[coarse laurel]

In bliss it’s ball caps

I miss wearing my ball caps

[snow scarab]

they’ve allowed army units to wear ball caps??

[coarse laurel]

Yes it’s organizational wear for tankers

I wore tanker boots, a tanker belt buckle and a ballcap

In bliss

Tanker boots you earn by qualifying with a crew on an abrams

[snow scarab]

hmmm interesting. ik tankerd have funky boots

our CSM wears em

[coarse laurel]

The buckle you get as a reward usually from competitions or whatever, it’s also presented like a coin

The ball cap you get them made but depending on the unit it has different stuff on it and it has your call sign

@snow scarab

[snow scarab]

that’s kinda cool

[coarse laurel]

I get to pick and choose which version to wear

The black one has my branch insignia and guidon on it then callsign on the back

[ancient grail]

Thank

Either I have problems that will manifest a few months later or this truck is just very tough, because despite dropping the frame on the rocks really hard 6 times and 100% plowing my front diff into the ground on several occasions nothing immediately broke

Aside from the mud flaps, those things are toast

And I scratched the shit out of my door on a tree branch

Tacoma too long

[plush topaz]

@low zodiac damn man

You need to be careful

Going to cause some serious costly damage

[low zodiac]

Yeah I’m riding passenger next time for the more technical trails

But I am taking it to the dunes here soon

We have some about 2 hours away

[snow scarab]

shut up. nobody cares.

[pastel cipher]

My dog’s protection training is going well, this is only his second serious bite. Ill make a weapon out of him yet.

[storm peak]

There's so much that could be said about this that would get me banned from here

[haughty willow]

lol

[plush topaz]

?

About dog training?

[signal horizon]

idk man you are just asking for a lawsuit at this point. Training a liability.

[plush topaz]

That's if the dog misbehaves

[signal horizon]

It's an animal, there is always a risk.

[plush topaz]

Indeed

[pastel cipher]

I also carry a gun, its a risk im already taking everyday.

Far as im concerned youre never safe from a lawsuit, and being sued for a dog bite is probably better than being sued for a bullet wound.

[rigid panther]

Simply train your dog to shoot an attacker.

[plush topaz]

Or dead from one

[pastel cipher]

And of course it goes without saying that he has only moved to bite work as he has been fully muzzle trained already.

[pallid gazelle]

its a tacoma youre fine

you could probably shoot it a few times and go do the same shit you just did

[low zodiac]

The squeak was not there before

Though I suspect it’s just dirt inbetween the leafs

[ashen edge]

My collection of real “gear” I plan on making into a 90s US kit

I need to get sustainment, med and water pouches for my LBE

Replace the uniform top and bottom with proper ripstop ones, find out what belt was issued (still don’t know) and get some good jungle boot (I think they where still issued around this time)

Discord fucked the compression on the image

[plush topaz]

It's ok I can still see lol

[muted gate]

issued belt is legit a black fuck

https://militaryuniformsupply.com/cdn/shop/products/51SGnhbzO5L_390x.jpg?v=1564591186

they were issued as belt and buckle seperates

you'd trim it to you so it only fit in 2 of the loops

for uniform, only the hot weather is ripstop

for the temperate its nylon cotton blend

then you have like 4 varients of the pants and shirt

earliest is elvis collar

then tightener tabs, then the direction of tabs is flipped

you also had dudes rocking ERDL up to the 90s

[marsh flint]

Oof

[ashen edge]

Thanks for the info, I looked all around but couldn’t find what belt they used

[ashen edge]

My end goal is something like this

[muted gate]

do you have a specific unit and date in mind

i literally can give you a writeup

[ashen edge]

Also the L flashlight is an obligatory add on for any ALICE belt based LBE

[ashen edge]

I don’t really have one, I don’t even have a branch tape sewn on rn it just feels weird

[muted gate]

welp, your doing 50th Armored Division because i shill

late 80s

(thats gonna be the writeup)

[ashen edge]

The pic is Virginia Nat. Guard but anything goes man

Whatever you make (if you still intend on writing) I will read and make notice of

[muted gate]

@ashen edge ill ping you when its done, i gotta do shit and recheck my shit

[ashen edge]

Good shit look forward to reading it

[keen fiber]

are we allowed to display guns on here?

ah nvm i saw the thread above this one

[muted gate]

@ashen edge
Patrol Cap:
rank centered and subdued above the fold line
Helmet:
PASGT or M1 with BDU cover, Sewn on rank centered with no nods mount
Cateye helmet strap with either sharpie or sewn on name (1-800nametapes will make you one for like 3 bucks)
Undershirt:
Dark Nutria Brown T-shirt undershirt is regulation, look it up and you’ll see what I mean
BDU Top: 50th AD Patch sans Jersey Blues on the right side, some dude did deploy in 91 under the 50th as supply and something else so you could put it as a deploy patch post 91
Army Tape and Nametape (1-800nametapes again will make them for you)
Branch and Rank Depends on what impression
Enlisted its just ranks, Officers its rank on the right and branch on the left (Signal, Infantry, Cav, etc)
BDU Pants: nothing to write home, just make sure they are long enough to not become unbloused when moving.
Belt: Refer to prior
Boots: Black GI Boots or Jungles are fine
For the Black boots you want jeeptread not zigzag. But due to the nature of guard you saw both in use depending on the individual.
Jungles were wore by basically anyone who gave a shit as they were auth’d

Equipment: This is horrid to do, basically I can just supply you photos of how it can be setup cause literally everything was in use due to the nature of the NJ guard.

[ashen edge]

Thank you very much man, ima copy this to a note in my phone so I can reference it easier

[ashen edge]

Also photos would be wonderful if it isn’t a pain

Like minimal effort will prevent that. A single brisk 15 minute walk every day and not gorging yourself with fudge rounds is all it fucking takes

[ashen edge]

His rounded physique is aerodynamic and helps with sound suppression due to reduced forward sound reflection

[timber fog]

Oh shit I think I saw you at the last one I went to!

I’ll have to say hi next time

Back 2 work I go

[ancient grail]

It's literally a photo of me

[sour hedge]

[ashen edge]

Unironically my first plate carrier

I also misjudged how many mag pouches would fit

And I’m not buying anything from greyshop till the unnamed war is over

[haughty fjord]

[coarse laurel]

[ancient grail]

[coarse laurel]

[timber fog]

Yeah, 190 is skinny when you’re hella tall

I’m 5’10” and feel like a fuckin fat ass when I hit 190

Height makes a huge difference

[sinful ether]

@snow scarab u dont need any bulk man my man doesnt know what he is talking about

what ive learned is that the biggest guy can be the biggest pussy 😉

[coarse laurel]

i sure do know what the fuck im talking about lol. he's combat arms he wants more bulk to support more weight

[sinful ether]

hahha yeah depend what stuff ur doing 😉

[ashen edge]

Gay sex

[full flower]

Nah there’s just more flavor now

[sinful ether]

@ashen edge nah might be in ur mind but not mine 🙂

[ashen edge]

[sinful ether]

😘

the fact that no one likes to be denied just proves one thing

keybord warriors 🙂

[snow scarab]

i can carry 100 lbs of gear and a weapon without issue lol

although i would like to get bigger

[timber fog]

Nothing wrong with being on the slimmer side

[ashen edge]

bro is to socially incompetent to understand the concept of a joke

[sinful ether]

@timber fog nah people think that the military is made of big ass dudes with long beards hhaha

[storm peak]

We all gotta buy our own uniforms dude, clothing allowance exists for a reason. Are those standard issued basic training boots?

Because if theyre the basic bitch ones you're only clowning yourself

[snow scarab]

we’ve been over this

like 4 times

[storm peak]

We have not

[snow scarab]

yes we have lol

[storm peak]

You and I have never discussed this before

[snow scarab]

they are not the basic boots

they look like em, but fat from em

one xero ultra light assault boot

i also have garmont bifidas

[coarse laurel]

Lol wtf are you talking about.

[coarse laurel]

Lol I hate how the so called uniform allowance barely covers the shit we have to maintain and replace

ASU/AGSU stuff, boots and OCP’s and organizational wear Items like fucking jump boots, beret, Stetsons, whatever the fuck

[sinful ether]

im so far away like looking at ur guys uniforms all tan where im from all green

🙂

[sour hedge]

Scuse me sir.. those toes are covered 🧐

[wind cave]

190 for 6'4 isnt even small lmao. im tryna get to that weight shorter

[sour hedge]

[sour hedge]

ferro soft side armor for me

[snow scarab]

[plain frigate]

[proud hazel]

Any one want to show off their helmet setups

[snow scarab]

[proper mesa]

losrs

[plush topaz]

@snow scarab my man why you so rude

[snow scarab]

you do realize he posted a pic of me right?

[plush topaz]

Yes and you're quite handsome in it

[snow scarab]

he’s from another server of a bunch of kids and a few active guys who i pissed off enough for them to ban me lol

and they all blocked me too

mostly cause i would tell them obvious shit like the 416 is garbage and palmetto shouldn’t be bought

[plush topaz]

Ok ok I get it

Fuck em!

[magic eagle]

@snow scarab i mean it does look like u were capping

[naive maple]

i dont know why you would ever post your likeness on the internet

just all things aside

its not a thing to do

[crisp maple]

Why not

[snow scarab]

how lol

i’m 6’4 and 190 pounds. in that picture i’m 6’3 165

[shut compass]

isnt that borderline malnurished

I'm 5'11 at 155

you like jack the pumpkin king or sum shit?

[snow scarab]

at which weight?

when i was 165 i was bordering on an unhealthy weight but i was also working out like a mf and was extremely healthy everywhere else

[shut compass]

165

had me worried lmao

no one should be 165 at 6'3

[coarse laurel]

I own an FCPC

[timber fog]

Been working down from 190 to 165 myself @ 5’10

[coarse laurel]

Lol

[timber fog]

Been a couple months and already down 15

[snow scarab]

yeah but you’re also a decent human

so it balances out

[coarse laurel]

Lmfao I would hope so

[snow scarab]

[coarse laurel]

I’m trying to outrun my dad bod

Lol

32 years old and I’m starting to gain some weight in places

My wife acts like my dietician now

[snow scarab]

lmfaooo

[muted lynx]

@plush topaz what belt and holster do you run? my buddy in CA is looking at setting up a belt, but i guess he's running into alot of companies trying to charge him $50-75 to ship from the states.

[low fox]

Just two tanks chilling, opinions on the kit?

[plush topaz]

I use a persec gear duty belt. Holsters are a mix. Mostly level 1 kydex with g code rti hangers

[muted lynx]

those persecs look nice, i appreciate it

[plush topaz]

The owner just rips off better company's designs

But he's local

[snow scarab]

actually wearing that shit would be insufferable

uncomfortable, not breathable, still barely any rifle protection, completely immovable

[low fox]

Been running it for a while, not too bad you get used to it

[snow scarab]

lol

sure

do you have actual armor in there?

[low fox]

Got all the soft inserts and plates yeah

Stab plates with a set of level 3 plates in the main carrier, looking to buy some level 4 but yeah that's the armour i'm running

[last bane]

But why wear something that "you get used to" when it isn't even something that anyone would use irl.

Those mandibles and visors never came out unless we were doing riot stuff, no one wears a crotch flap/neck guard or shoulder pads unless they want to get hazed, etc..

Also are you wearing thigh plates? The hell

[snow scarab]

imma call bullshit, cause that’s like 30-40 pounds of body armor

[low fox]

For mainly just fun of it tbh

[low fox]

Not thigh plates, just leg panels to give a heavy look lol

[low fox]

I mean I can weigh it in the morning

[last bane]

That's fair, I don't hate on the larp/airsoft bros. Just don't get why they don't actually go for a realistic loadout when I see stuff like this lol

[low fox]

Eh wanna see how far I can push the practicality of kit like that and myself physically wearing kit like it

I don't really like low profile carrier feels to small for my liking so I just stick with the osprey, decided to full send with regards to the armour and the crye lap

[ancient grail]

Hard💯

[ancient grail]

Cuz it's fun

[low fox]

Damn nice

[low fox]

Just gotta say that neck piece / collar looks sick where'd you get it?

[forest bear]

Does anyone own a set of Earmor M32s irl? I've heard they work great for shooting but might not work well at deadening louder sounds.

[marsh flint]

@rigid panther didn't you own M32s

[rigid panther]

No not yet, I've been still using my passive ear pro

I will be getting some

[rigid panther]

I forget the name but they have a nicer pair aswell for like 300.

[ancient grail]

Custom sewn

[ancient grail]

Spending 300 on earmores moment

[rigid panther]

I mean i haven't heard anything really bad about them, I wouldn't spend it but.

[low fox]

Damn nicee

[low fox]

Yeah they're pretty good for sounds, the best i've tested against is .50 BMG and 75mm blank rounds

[forest bear]

I have a ULR-50 that's why I'm curious, I was going to buy Sordins but saw they were way cheaper so wanted someone's opinion on them

[low fox]

I mean for the price you pay they're pretty good

[forest bear]

yeah they're like 110

[low fox]

Can't speak for the comms side of things due to mine being a second hand pair that can't transmit

[forest bear]

anything is better than nothing imo

[low fox]

Exactly

For price v preformance it's a decent deal

[ancient grail]

Anything is having the electronics blow out when a bang 22 goes out near me

[forest bear]

yikes

[ancient grail]

Earmores are like bottom barrel for hearing defenders, personal opinion imo

[low fox]

Yeah true

[forest bear]

anything comparable you can think of?

would really like something w comms but not trying to drop 1k on ear pro

[rigid panther]

They're on par with razors from what I have heard

Which again

Bottom of the barrel

[ancient grail]

Razors

With a multimount mic

Sordins

Used comtac 3s

Xpis if European

[forest bear]

arent comtac 3s like $2100

even used they're like 1500

[ancient grail]

What 3rd world country do you live in where comtac 3s cost 1500 used

[forest bear]

ok i see them for 800 lol

[ancient grail]

800💀

Bro is getting scalped to the max

[rigid panther]

100$

[forest bear]

those are replicas lmao

[low fox]

Not a repro?

[forest bear]

made in china

[rigid panther]

I'd imagine comtac iiis aren't really much more

[ancient grail]

Repros

Lol

Homie was selling these for 200 each

3s should normally be under 300

Anything else is a scam

[rigid panther]

Prob, I'm just saying you can find them for just about the same price.

Just look

Pay 75$ more somewhere

Or buy new for what, 500?

[marsh flint]

I have Peltor Sport Tac

[ancient grail]

3s for 100

Lol

[rigid panther]

You know the right people yeah.

[ancient grail]

Those come up once a year when some retiring veteran gets rid of his old stuff

[rigid panther]

Key is knowing the right people man, otherwise yeah, like 250 or so

Which even still

[ancient grail]

Current market price is 280-350

[rigid panther]

Not much more.

[ancient grail]

kEy iS kNowing rIght pEople

Who then

Your friends?

Random people at a company that would just sell you comtacs at a lower price?

[rigid panther]

You're sitting here acting like it's impossible LOL.

Did I say a company?

No obviously friends

Why you got a random stick up the ass when i said that idk.

[ancient grail]

Because for that price yeah it's impossible
Like I said it only pops up once a year type beat

[rigid panther]

But chill.

Not that serious

[ancient grail]

Nah dawg you have a claim, back up your claim

Don't say you can do a certian thing then not prove it

[rigid panther]

I couldn't care less what you believe tbh, it can be done has been done and will be done again in the future.

Calm yourself buddy

[ancient grail]

Yeah once a year

It's SUPER rare for USED 3s to be under 200

[rigid panther]

Stay looking then.

That simple

[ancient grail]

😄

[forest bear]

Shit I'll pay 250-300 for a set of 3s

[rigid panther]

You don't want to spend that much, and want a certain item. You have to search all the time.

[ancient grail]

You us based?

[marsh flint]

Got a nice deal for Sport Tacs

[ancient grail]

I can prolly hook you up

[marsh flint]

The cushion is custom made

[forest bear]

right in the middle of the US

KC MO

[ancient grail]

Find a second buyer and I can hook you up for 200 per

[rigid panther]

I wouldn't spend a dime over 270, not including shipping. That's a fair deal for both parties

[forest bear]

they're repros or what?

[ancient grail]

I'm sure I'd sell repros for 200😁

[rigid panther]

You might have my attention

[forest bear]

ok lol just checking

I can get you my info and everything, are they yours or a friend's?

[ancient grail]

I'd know alot about repros since I own repro comtac 5s

[forest bear]

kong i added you on discord

[rigid panther]

Uhhh, in a shopping mall though?

[ancient grail]

You could've just, dm'd me lol

[forest bear]

im a discord noob srry

[neon crow]

💀 Comtac III’s for 100. Yeah not happening.
III’s are minimum 275 for the version with no downlead or comms capability. 300-375 for singles, and about 375 all the way up to 425 for duals.
Fuck. I sold my dual comm III’s for 450.

[ancient grail]

Someone got lucky I sold my dual coms for 270

[neon crow]

You dumb

[forest bear]

that wasnt very nice

[neon crow]

Don’t worry I hurt him every night he’s used to it

[ancient grail]

How about we kiss

[neon crow]

Okay

[forest bear]

thats kinda hot stop it

[neon crow]

[forest bear]

kong are you located in the us?

hopefully somewhat near me

[timber fog]

Kong is US property

[rigid panther]

I have a friend who got a pair for 100, old and kinda salty but. I didn't say it was easy I said you could.

[ancient grail]

West coast baby

[forest bear]

rip ok, shippings gonna suck

[ancient grail]

Dude its finna be like 10 bucks

[rigid panther]

If he takes out the batteries it's not

[forest bear]

lol

[ancient grail]

I'm like %90 sure my homie lives Midwest its gonna be 10 bucks via usps

[rigid panther]

It'll be like 15$, I ship via usps frequently

[forest bear]

where at in the midwest?

[rigid panther]

Just based on the size of the box

[ancient grail]

I literally just said it's gonna be like 10 bucks

[rigid panther]

I mean unless you lie on the form.

[neon crow]

Anyways. Don’t buy reproduction Comtac’s if you value your ears. That’s how I got hearing damage in a shoot house.
(Earmors are repro can’t change my mind)
Don’t buy Comtac III’s unless they’re a steal.
Get Chad Comtac V’s for like 450-550 since the sound quality is immensely better than III’s.
Don’t buy VI’s like I did unless you get them for sub 600 like I did. They only have minor upgrades.

[ancient grail]

Obv repro comtacs

[neon crow]

Bruh gifs ain’t allowed

[rigid panther]

No lol

[neon crow]

[rigid panther]

Haven't been for a long time

[neon crow]

Ew

[ancient grail]

@neon crow me asf

[rigid panther]

Idiots are the reasons we can't have nice things anymore in these chats.

Fuck, welp my clutch is ticking

Gonna have to rebuild the master cylinder. Yay..

[neon crow]

I wish China wasn’t ontop of the game. I got my VI’s when they literally first came out so thank god there weren’t repro’s yet. But man they started pumping those out not even a year later.
Also I got mine from a certain Ethan, that I know you definitely know. Who scalps. And he didn’t know what he had yet so I only paid 10 dollars more than the V’s he was supposed to send me

[ancient grail]

All the homies hate Ethan hunt

[neon crow]

Yeeeeah boy

Not even 4 weeks later he was selling them in the 700’s and up

I paid like 560-570 I think

[forest bear]

need me some

tired of using foam plugs

[neon crow]

Do. They are worth it.

III’s will do. But they sound crappy. V’s and VI’s sound about as realistic as your actual ears.

[forest bear]

i actually prefer the excessive high range/radio like sound

im sure id change my mind if i put on a set of Vs but so far im content with literally anything of quality

[muted gate]

Friend of a friend just had his opscore and S&S stolen out of his car. Fuckin rip

[plush topaz]

Lol. I don't think anyone would even know what that was up here

[neon crow]

And this is why all gear comes into wherever I go or is left at home

[muted gate]

Dont know the full story. Just that it got stolen out his car or some shit

[coarse laurel]

Was it in plain view

[muted gate]

Probably. Idk

[timber fog]

Having gun company stickers on your car is like having a “break in here” sign

Hopefully your buddy’s smarter than that

[ashen edge]

saw this in a video but look at this guys PC setup

ive never seen anying like this in my life

[plush topaz]

What's so unique about it?

My PC in the army was similarly set up

[muted gate]

2 ammo pouches and 2 grenade/gp pouches, with what looks like an ifak or admin on the right

whats wierd

[plush topaz]

The positioning of the grenade pouches maybe?

For mine I made special ties where I yank paracord to get the grenade out

Otherwise its tough to squeeze your hands in there

[ashen edge]

the grenade pouches would be a real pain to get to as you have to reach inbetween both of your taller mag pouches

he also has more space on the top of his vest and the front pannel is only partially used

[muted gate]

not really, flip and reach

[ashen edge]

also his mag pouchses are put on at two different hights

look at the bottom

[plush topaz]

The top strap of some grenade pouches goes inside and the grenade sits on it. You pull the strap. It comes up. Eazy

[muted gate]

yeah, prolly a 3 and 2 cell

[ashen edge]

he is in a artillary group so maybe he just doesnt to shit

[plush topaz]

I think you're over thinking it

[ashen edge]

i dont know its just very odd and ive never seen it before

but i can see why i havent seen it

[plush topaz]

2 of my vests

[muted gate]

probably how the dude just threw it together and it works

[plush topaz]

Note the 2 stacked grenade pouches on the left

[muted gate]

one of those vests is on ebay atm, too bad its not the right era

[plush topaz]

The right? Send link

[ashen edge]

i wanst griping about the pouches for grenages being on the lower part of the vest its just od that hes surounded it with solid pouches that are taller

[muted gate]

left i think

nah its the israeli LBV rig clone

i was wrong

[ashen edge]

for the lower on you cant get at it from the side unless one of the pouches is empty so you have to do a weird front reach around type thing

[plush topaz]

The left is an entirely custom made vest

[ashen edge]

in regards to the russian guy

[muted gate]

man, a semi complete 73 rig is like 150 buck

[plush topaz]

I don't really know what you mean. Maybe the photo is bad

[muted gate]

i wanna cry

[muted gate]

you can, just cante the hand

[ashen edge]

it would be better just to make the vest non symetrical

least that way you have a unobstructed angle

[plush topaz]

It doesn't look obstructed to me

[ashen edge]

if i have to change the way i grab something out of a pouch to go around other things on my vest its obstructed

[plush topaz]

What are you changing exactly

It's no different than if another magazine pouch was right next to it

[muted gate]

hes bitching that the grenades are hard to get in the center stacked ontop each other

which doesnt make sense

[ashen edge]

on my current PC i have mags on the lower halft with grenade pouches above and without the bottom of a pouch coming into contact with the top of another

[plush topaz]

I thought that isn't what he was saying

I'm so confused lol

[muted gate]

im confused too

[ashen edge]

also upon looking closer the left pouch is a radio pouch and not a mag pouch

its just some weird observer kit

[plush topaz]

Yes they're different sizes

But even if it was a magazine pouch I still see no issue

[plush topaz]

They probably would be without the tie downs I mentioned. So he isn't wrong there.

[ashen edge]

my problem is that to get the lower grenade you have to reach in front ofthe mag or radio pouch or come in from the top if the upper one is empty

[plush topaz]

I thought I addressed that already

You're right. But there are workarounds.

[ashen edge]

you did i just object to changing the way you hav to grab something when you can put it in a place where you dont

[muted gate]

not drastically tho

[plush topaz]

Oh. Well I didn't change anything. It's just how I always did it because those were the pouches I had and trained with

I can show you what I'm talking about Later. I just don't have any grenades lol

[ashen edge]

i wasnt refering your vest more the picture, you have what you get and you make it work

i was griping because the soldier put thoes things on himself and did it in a way i find very silly

[plush topaz]

Yes. Unless he did or does what I did

You're right in that regard

[ashen edge]

also my auto correct is going crazy

sorry about that

[plush topaz]

You should be sorry.

[ashen edge]

unintelligible garbage

[snow scarab]

the second one the predecessor to the k19?

[snow scarab]

grenade pouches are not necessary for 99% of people

hell if i’m going to carry any it’s just going into a fucking GP pouch

[plush topaz]

I couldn't say. Different company.

Maybe influenced?

It was very comfortable

[meager isle]

Based

[tulip monolith]

Bouta get big on labs

[meager isle]

I ordered the big case

Shd be coming Wednesday or Thursday iirc

[tulip monolith]

Nice

[meager isle]

Yuh

[forest bear]

He’s like that

[ashen edge]

i use mine for airsoft so i have a use and don’t yet have a GP pouch

not a operator cool guy use but i use it to carry things that fit in it

[plush topaz]

They are. Cigarettes fit in them nicely.

[ashen edge]

like little GP pouches i see soldiers in the europe conflict keep tourniquets in them all the rime

[flint hemlock]

Vibing in stolen russian gear

[plush topaz]

Stealing is rude

[ashen edge]

As you do

We support a little war profiteering

[grand mountain]

not from russia

[snow scarab]

i never got the little things out the side right where you are supposed to shoulder a rifle lol

[flint hemlock]

Its just to keep the 6sh117 on right

[ashen edge]

they help alot with the smooth stock on AKs slipping off teh vest

also slings and backpack straps

[ashen edge]

👍

[fair acorn]

No way people are buying overpriced UKRAINE WAR TROPHY items

[ashen edge]

I got 2 vests for 250 only some holes

This was last year tho

I got my helmet for 100 I think as well

[fair acorn]

oh cool

yea Russian military items almost doubled in price in a year

[ashen edge]

I’ve seen some wild shit under that name tho lol

I saw a man’s dog tag, passport, marriage certificate, and like 2 other things

[fair acorn]

🗿

[plush topaz]

I love getting in full kit and just chilling at home for absolutely no reason.

I do it way too often.

[flint hemlock]

Its just a vibe

[flint hemlock]

Thats badass

Also nice mira

[plush topaz]

Ya they turned out pretty cool

[flint hemlock]

I just have the M40 i fixed up

[plush topaz]

Mira is overpriced rebadged surplus

But man do they look cool

[flint hemlock]

Ye

I got my m40 for free

[plush topaz]

What you use to tint your lenses

[flint hemlock]

Used to look like this btw

[plush topaz]

No wonder it was free

[flint hemlock]

The outserts

[plush topaz]

[plush topaz]

I wonder if they make them for Mira

[flint hemlock]

Just needed some parts and a cleaning

[flint hemlock]

Could also use a car window tinting kit

[plush topaz]

I was thinking that. I'll ask the tint shop I go to to either give me a sheet or just do it for me lol

I've taken like 10 cars there they can do me a favour

[flint hemlock]

Even then its probably a 10 dollar job lol

[plush topaz]

For sure

[marsh flint]

Me too. Even though I don't have much gear rn

But gotta enjoy all the spent money

[plush topaz]

I wanted to post it but I got warned last time

[timber fog]

Damn

Wonder if I should delete before mods wake up

Just to err on the side of caution…

[plush topaz]

Yup

[winter kiln]

What kind of kit was it if it got deleted

[unborn bramble]

Getting your platoon killed for wearing white socks. No.
Getting your platoon killed because you taped vinyl over the eyes of your gasmask which melted in the chemical environment leaving you effectively blind and sector of fire unsecured. Yes.

I always wish I had those shades lense covers but of course the NBC nerd wouldn't hook anyone else up.

[plush topaz]

The tint goes inside

And you'd do something like a 65% tint to not affect night time vision

But it helps with the sun and heat

The OEM removable exterior covers are the way to go

[unborn bramble]

Yes, just like on a car. However, your mask while not worn is in the environment.
That's why you clear it after donning.

[plush topaz]

What do you mean

[unborn bramble]

I usually don't

[plush topaz]

[timber fog]

It was just a meme about sitting around the house in kit

[sour hedge]

Anyone using the new lp1?

[low fox]

Czech mask supplied by mira right?

[plush topaz]

Yes

[low fox]

Niceee

Got an M50 currently but i really want an FM54

[plush topaz]

Avon is Gucci. I’ve never worn one though.

The Mira is very comfortable to shoot in

[low fox]

Avon fits real nice imo

[low fox]

Yeah i had an S10 similar design worked well but i prefer the look of the newer avon kit

[snow scarab]

@muted gate you are absolutely stupid for thinking the zipper compartment makes you lose space. you lose like maybe 2-300 cubic square inches if you have a properly cinched sleeping system in there

if even 2-300

[muted gate]

Guy, you removed the entire context of the argument. The older non internal Molle 1 or 2 (Fuck me i hate finding actual names) rucks were > than the Molle 2 internals

(i know it doesnt have the pouches im not digging mine out for a photo)

[flint hemlock]

This is one of if not my favorite setup

[forest bear]

sorry if this is not allowed, but is anyone in the US (preferably midwest) selling gear?

[ashen edge]

Is that the tanker frag vest or 6b45

[flint hemlock]

6b45

[ashen edge]

also why do you not just use the molle on the vest i know others do this but what is the logic behind it?

[flint hemlock]

Because i dont want to tear my 6sh117 setup apart to do it

I just got the 6b45 yesterday but ive had the 117 for about a year

[fair acorn]

Get a 6B49 and 6B47 to become ratnik emr man

[ashen edge]

ah makes senseis yours the older or newer version?
