[low fox]

like how a revolver can NEVER malfunction, it can, its just not as common.

[naive maple]

revolvers are finicky clockwork guns that require maintenance, and when they fail they fail HARD and require a tool set

[low fox]

Yup

Okay let me fix the chat since this isnt guns this is gear channel

There fixed

[muted gate]

Recreator is making krinks as well as the ak12

[low fox]

Im 100% gonna buy a krink. Always wanted one

[muted gate]

I WANT THAT AK12

IMA MAKE IT A FAKE 12K

[low fox]

I mean. Im hearing gun fanatics say this kinda shit though, people who dont even own a PSA.

[muted gate]

Slam that Fuck er into a gaz24 and laugh all the way to Tarkov

[low fox]

Why would I escape from Tarkov? This was all I ever wanted. pulls down Altyn visor

Well they must also buy shit then

Cause they are also talking about break in periods lol

guns shouldnt need “breaking in” that shit sounds so stupid to me

I can understand tight tolerances but if its so tight that the gun wont function till you put 9k rounds through it thats lunacy

Yeah but how does tight tolerances = trash?

I getcha sorry

That makes sense yeah

[marsh flint]

And ak5

[muted gate]

Nah. Tarkov the event

[low fox]

@marsh flint Some random tid bits I had laying around, dont wanna dig through crates lol

[marsh flint]

Haha, cool. Classic stuff

[low fox]

that M40 has a VPU on it, so I can sound like the dudes from HL1 lol

the funni half life fellas

[marsh flint]

Or Opposing Force

[low fox]

that works too

[low fox]

I should make a kit

idk wtf kinda armor that is lol

[marsh flint]

On that cover art?

[low fox]

on all the HL soldiers

[marsh flint]

Fictive armor, I guess.

Game came like 1998-1999

[low fox]

I know they wear PASGT helmets, ALICE equipment, and wear odd winter camo (that I dunno a real counterpart of) and use MP5's

[marsh flint]

Yea alice

That's some urban metro camo

[low fox]

I got everything but the weird uniform....and mp5

IM WORKING ON IT THOUGH

[marsh flint]

Which doesnt make sense too much since Black Mesa is on desert

But maybe indoors

[low fox]

probably

[plush topaz]

I think I'm done

[craggy merlin]

waiting for this to show up, but when we gunna get the russian tank helmet nvgs in game xD

[storm peak]

No phonk music?

Gotta have the cringey phonk edits if you want to keep the kids watching

[plush topaz]

[quasi chasm]

[quasi chasm]

[steady agate]

[naive maple]

[plush topaz]

[cobalt bramble]

[low fox]

Now all I need is an RPD and im ready for factory

[marsh flint]

Kinda

[low fox]

oh no what am I missing comrade?

[marsh flint]

What plates you got

[low fox]

awww shit! bRoKeN eAsTeRn pLaTeS

[marsh flint]

: )

Even my training plates have some weight

[low fox]

I dont recall what the plates inside the Korund armor is called. Its some plate that of course, was made specifically for it

[marsh flint]

You have them there already?

[low fox]

https://depotmilitary.com/assets/components/phpthumbof/cache/9af92bd4e33a2d8c449a025602b443ca.c77bca50429ea86f87d8bfe80133c6eb.jpg

they look odd

just a fuckin rectangle lmao

[marsh flint]

Have you tried to... Umm... Move with them inside and that gear on

[low fox]

yes, the vityas is heavy and uncomfortable, the Korund is heavy and uncomfortable. and the chestrig is heavy when full of loaded magazines xD

but boi do I look cool!

[marsh flint]

That's actually impressive

I only have templars gear training plates rn

Polish company

[cobalt bramble]

We have Templar gear in America to

[cobalt bramble]

Not the most accessible but it’s available

[marsh flint]

Nice!

[low fox]

training plates are just for the weight yeah?

[marsh flint]

Didn't know they import there

Yeah. Rubber shit

[low fox]

good against non lethal rounds lol

no rubber balls gonna hurt you

[marsh flint]

Yeah well

Nobodys shooting me

[low fox]

also fair

not yet anyways

[marsh flint]

Lol

True

[cobalt bramble]

I think It’s imported by a company called cloutac

[marsh flint]

I've heard of it

[low fox]

they made korunds in two camos, VSR-93 (one I got) and something called "Transnistrian butan"

[marsh flint]

But just heard lol

[low fox]

https://depotmilitary.com/assets/components/phpthumbof/cache/1cadde97addf7b2d83316c2d85ebfc04.c77bca50429ea86f87d8bfe80133c6eb.jpg

[marsh flint]

Oh

[cobalt bramble]

That’s…a camo

[marsh flint]

Mav is more geared than ruaf

[low fox]

apparently that specific Butan was the rarest camo in the USSR/Early Russia

for some reason

Looook, we dont talk about the money ive spent over the years on outdated, uncomfortable, and heavy helmets and armors lol

[marsh flint]

I've only spent a dime compared to you

But my gov stuff has changed quite a lot during the years

[cobalt bramble]

My sort of bucket list Russian carrier is a VSR 93 dragoon not the most expensive carrier when they pop up but they rarely pop up

[marsh flint]

Maybe youll get some used ones

@low fox check this out

[cobalt bramble]

I hope to one day but ruski gear is extremely low on the priority list right now

[low fox]

My collection, last I did some math. I think ive spent somewhere in the ballpark of 10k total

ive been collecting since 2019

oh no

lol

[cobalt bramble]

How much are the charging

[marsh flint]

A couple of euros

[cobalt bramble]

I’ve seen people sell them for like $100 it’s dumb

Some of the prices for “trophy” gear on eBay is insane

[low fox]

yeah I dont touch stuff like that

[marsh flint]

💀💀

[cobalt bramble]

It’s not all bad my buddy got a raid rucksack for $150 USD

[marsh flint]

Deleting these that I dont get banned

[low fox]

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dgbakery.site%2Fmedia%2Fimages%2Fdragoon_vsr93_4_R8gioia_rLWcgzj.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=06282f70c5fa64675157d51e07b6239d976c7450cca09021ce7a63e698f84e1e&ipo=images

?

is that a Dragoon

[cobalt bramble]

Yes that one

[low fox]

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dgbakery.site%2Fmedia%2Fimages%2Fdragoon_vsr93_3_Zexp69H_XdVbwIK.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=ace985259d69a9d46946474c7fd6f37ddb32759231364ccdce04955c2eba5256&ipo=images

looks like a FORT Defender in VSR

[cobalt bramble]

It was used in Beslan a little but mainly it was just very popular with FSB around that time

[low fox]

pretty cool

[cobalt bramble]

It’s very similar

[low fox]

so 2000s?

[cobalt bramble]

Yes

Early 2000s

[low fox]

ahhh, see my collection want ends at the end of the first chechen war xD

so I know nothin about it, it certainly looks cool

[marsh flint]

As val

[cobalt bramble]

My collection knows know bounds but it’s mostly modern stuff

[marsh flint]

Nice

You have AKS?

AKs*

[cobalt bramble]

Not legal where I am unfortunately

[low fox]

1979-1996 is where all my collection is from, of course some items date further back, like 70s, but if it was used in Afghanistan/Chechnya I probably own it or own a variant.

airsoft is lit these days

[cobalt bramble]

I have a few Airsoft ones

[low fox]

ive seen some realistic af AKs

[cobalt bramble]

Most likely from LCT

[low fox]

lemme show a vid I saw a bit ago of an AKMS airsoft gun, im mainly a gun guy but DAMN I might get one lol

[marsh flint]

Ok np

I've shot with a proper russian saiga AK 7,62x39

That's as authentic I can get

[low fox]

https://youtube.com/shorts/G4Du0eGpOIE?si=PJB6L7A0tpnu0ss4

this airsoft gun is awesome

[marsh flint]

Ofc I've shot countless amounts with our AK variant

[cobalt bramble]

This is my LCT HK33 it’s basically 1:1 with the real thing construction wise

[marsh flint]

But then again it's not too different

[cobalt bramble]

Coolest thing I’ve ever had the pleasure to shoot was a Kriss vector

[marsh flint]

.45 ACP?

[cobalt bramble]

Yes

[low fox]

It always makes me giggle when I hear that some firearms manufacs will be making airsoft guns or some form of non military stuff, RIGHT next to the factory making full autos and real armor and all lmao

[marsh flint]

Tokyo Marui

[low fox]

IVAN! NOOOOO! YOU SHIPPED OUT THE AIRSOFT GUNS TO THE FRONT LINES! NOOOOOOOO

[cobalt bramble]

I could sea NPO doing that

[low fox]

Im pretty sure they do

[cobalt bramble]

They’re stuff is as realistic as it gets

Hell it better be for the prices

[low fox]

I swear I read somewhere on some thing that theres people who make military stuff, then right next door making airsoft/replica

[cobalt bramble]

Might be a Taiwanese company most Airsoft production is in Taiwan

[low fox]

probabl

Know what I hate about collecting VSR-93 stuff? There are SO MANY VARIATIONS

oh and Butan, holy fuck so many

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/573e80_e5ab96e4c8b34bbca110884dcc59a215~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_740,h_678,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/573e80_e5ab96e4c8b34bbca110884dcc59a215~mv2.jpg

[cobalt bramble]

I just collect random shit that I think looks cool

[low fox]

I dont collect Butan camo stuff because well...Butan wasnt as heavily used in the wars I collect from

only like officers and pilots and certain personel used Butan in Afghan, and Butan was used in Chechnya but not as often as VSR

[cobalt bramble]

I use most of gear for Airsoft so if it’s uncomfortable as fuck to wear it doesn’t stay around long unless it’s exceptionally rare or sentimental

[low fox]

thats fair

fortunately for someone like me, most Russians didnt wear matching VSR. Most pictures I find they are wearing more than one variation of it

https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0468/5765/0333/files/russian-soldier-VSR-93-uniform_600x600.jpg?v=1610797119

example ^

pants, jacket, and hat are all different versions

[cobalt bramble]

Still need some SS Leto/partizan camo

[low fox]

https://youtu.be/lmr1ziWdy9w

[low fox]

sooo many companies make repro AND you can still find original stuff

SS Leto is awesome

[cobalt bramble]

Yes it is

I know it’s easy to get I just haven’t gotten around to buying it

[low fox]

you could probably get a full kit without spending crazy money

[cobalt bramble]

Speaking of niche camos I recently purchased some Serbian woodland

[low fox]

here, want some places? I have a lotta repro and original shops I can send

[cobalt bramble]

It’s still in Cyprus unfortunately shits gonna take till end of February to get here

[low fox]

Serbian Woodland is cool too, the chestrigs of the same camo can be found on ebay

[cobalt bramble]

Ya

[low fox]

and they look snazzy

[cobalt bramble]

Expensive af tho

We’ll sort of

[low fox]

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/IUoAAOSwHidjrFXM/s-l1600.webp

[cobalt bramble]

Personally for my Serbian kit most of it is just stuff that I modified to look correct

[low fox]

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/8QgAAOSwU2JdxtLc/s-l1600.webp

[cobalt bramble]

Like instead of spending hundreds of dollars for a original arkans tigers stripe camo uniform I just lightly dye some Greek lizard camo

[low fox]

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/y3MAAOSw-9NlevTQ/s-l1600.webp

I do like these armors

[cobalt bramble]

I do like that one

[low fox]

https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/GSgAAOSws0tlevVP/s-l1600.webp

[cobalt bramble]

Want to get one of those some day

[low fox]

180 bucks

[cobalt bramble]

Iirc the mag pouches where only held on with Velcro lol

[low fox]

I see snap tabs

like the Soviet first pattern Lifchik

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/equipment/images/b/b0/LifchikType1afront.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160205165626

[cobalt bramble]

OG Soviet chest rigs are so cool

[low fox]

I own a first pattern, its quite comfy, I dont really like the snap tabs and velcro duo though

I usually tuck the covers on chicom style rigs into the pouch, so the only thing sticking out is the magazine. Some people in actual combat usually cut off the floppy covers

but im not doing that to mine obviously lol

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/equipment/images/4/49/LifchikType1bfront.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160205165646

then theres the second pattern

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/equipment/images/7/70/DSCN5863.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160209190832

this one is in Tarkov, but green instead of the usual tan

second pattern has a different grenade area setup, and also straps to put Poyas B (VOG Belt) onto the bottom.

[low fox]

buncha badasses right there, info on the pic? Id assume either 1993 Constitutional Crisis, or first Chechen war.

[unborn bramble]

No clue. Felt like it was a good addition and I haven't been here in a while 🙏

[ashen edge]

i was under the impression that the slit type visor helmets where pretty much only used by internal forces due to how they where immediately obsolete so i highly doubt Chechen conflict

[low fox]

they saw use in chechnya, they where shit but they did see use.

it was replaced by the Altyn iirc

TIG PSH-77 helmets saw use from 1979 to even 1999, I guess if it aint broke dont fix it lol

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdepotmilitary.com%2Fassets%2Fcomponents%2Fphpthumbof%2Fcache%2Fd441f3c925c00b6fb85ec4712fa77e59.c77bca50429ea86f87d8bfe80133c6eb.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=0ef6b3658a162be4c870af7b7728fbf531678f29026b54d1eab01939cc6d45f5&ipo=images

[ashen edge]

most photographs ive seen of the conflict indicate that uniformity within units was just not a thing so unless the video frame shown was some propaganda video shoot or was shot out of the conflict area idk

but i didnt really pay attention to SF shit

[rare ruin]

I also saw the Georgians use it during the tbilisi war. It was the Georgian rapid reaction force, also wearing BNTI Kirasa-N

[low fox]

Georgian war was 2000s right?

My knowledge starts in 1979 and ends in 1996 lol, since thats where all my collection is from

[rare ruin]

Tbilisi war aka the georgian civil war was from 1991 - 1993

[low fox]

Yeah, found info here: the Maska-1 both slit visor and full glass variants where used in Chechnya, mainly by SOBR and OMON

[rare ruin]

but yeah the russo-georgian war was 2000s

[low fox]

ahhh, where the Russians in the civil war?

I mean as in like

providing aid to whatever side

[shut escarp]

Nah they invaded in 08

[low fox]

yeah okay. My knowledge ends after the First Chechen war

thanks for the info, it is cool that the visored helmets where used by so many sides during those times

[rare ruin]

dont think so, but that civil war caused the war in abkhazia and places in Georgia, which russia joined in at that time

[low fox]

Thank you Switzerland! Without you the Altyn wouldnt exist lol

yeah that makes sense

[rare ruin]

lol indeed

[low fox]

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/equipment/images/c/ce/SovietAlfa4_zps8be19d03.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20170121184407

hes using a PSH-77 with a cool camo cover, I think either KZS hood cut down to a helmet cover or hes using just some burlap

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/equipment/images/e/e1/1982_made_TIG_8.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20171202155914

Yugoslavia also loved the PSH

the cutouts on the side of the visor are so gas mask filters can fit through

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinimg.com%2Foriginals%2Ffc%2Fef%2Fb7%2Ffcefb78be80ba72b2f2e6aa19ede0695.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=639f415cf48d221193aaccc363e0c7560f6ec725a2211852c4af09e763dd902d&ipo=images

East Germany also liked em

everybody and their mother apparently bought helmets from the Swiss

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi0.wp.com%2Fi.redd.it%2F2r53qqqkm2j81.jpg%3Fssl%3D1&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=607d6ddb15fa658668060f97f618649d16cee806a75e39243d232120c2e6f103&ipo=images

shoot with it more and you won’t have to

[storm peak]

Oh yeah hurr hurr get a new muscle memory for just red dot so you don't have to chase it

[snow scarab]

yes…

[storm peak]

I don't have the patience to relearn muscle memory from irons to dot

[timber fog]

It’s really not that difficult

[snow scarab]

that’s kinda how you do literally anything with muscle memory

you learn it

[storm peak]

I can most certainly be accurate with the dot, I got a few hundred hrs on it

[cobalt bramble]

@marsh flint yesterday you mentioned Templar gear. Are their mini maps good?

[storm peak]

Still much perfer irons

For pistols

[marsh flint]

mini maps?

[cobalt bramble]

Little multi purpose packs that molle on to the back of the plate carrier

[marsh flint]

I've only used their rubber plates and I was recommended their utility belt

[marsh flint]

ahh gotcha

[cobalt bramble]

They make them in that cool desert flecktarn so I was considering getting one

[marsh flint]

Templar gear is considered as ok quality

at least among comp folks

[naive maple]

"chasing the dot" is a training issue

literally skill issue

[marsh flint]

https://e-militaria.eu/13892-templars-gear-ammo-utility-m-pouch-pl-woodland-wz93-5904433616072.html

@cobalt bramble

these look alright

[cobalt bramble]

Ya the mini maps are made in some cool colors/camos

[marsh flint]

pouches and small bags aren't so critical so they can be also cheap ones typically. Depending how you are going to load them

if you have to carry something heavy and you want it to last the toughest shit, then I'd recommend something gucci like Savotta

[naive maple]

do you have any of their products currently?

[cobalt bramble]

I was kinda just planning to put together a JPC for fun not really planning on doing anything extreme with it

It would probably just carry water and ammo

[storm peak]

Yeah I don't give a shit

[naive maple]

[marsh flint]

them training plates

[naive maple]

none of the cordura gear or any of that?

[marsh flint]

I can't see any reason why that wouldn't be good for your application

nope

but I was recommended their belt

[naive maple]

i'm wondering where it is made

[marsh flint]

its a polish company but...

[naive maple]

if it is made in poland or if its imported

[marsh flint]

yeah

[storm peak]

How about you skill yourself a female before you chirp up

[marsh flint]

"Manufacturer: Templars Gear, Poland"

[naive maple]

i feel like they would brag about MADE IN POLAND with big letters if it really was

[marsh flint]

uuhhhh

[cobalt bramble]

It’s made in Poland

[marsh flint]

I don't remember if there was any stamp on the plates

[naive maple]

are you sure

[cobalt bramble]

At least the nylon stuff is

[naive maple]

poles are very patriotic

[cobalt bramble]

They say as much

[naive maple]

i dont see any big flags or brags

[marsh flint]

All of our products are proudly made in Poland. We use only top of the line components and textiles – such as original Ranger Green, Pencott, Multicam, A-TACS, Woodland or Coyote Brown Cordura fabrics supplied by leading European and US manufacturers.

• Templars Gear

[naive maple]

[cobalt bramble]

They make their shit in cool camos that you can’t easily buy in the US

[cobalt bramble]

Case in point

And they make stuff in polish woodland

[naive maple]

ah i see

"Proudly made in Poland from EU/US materials."

[marsh flint]

umm their website contains broken links

[naive maple]

they don't have the most innovative/up to date designs but some of this stuff is pretty cool

[cobalt bramble]

I’ve been using cloutacs site I think they are the importer

[marsh flint]

I like how reasonable their prices are

[naive maple]

[marsh flint]

umm....

[marsh flint]

lorem ipsum much?

[cobalt bramble]

Aside from the fucking plate carrier yikes

[marsh flint]

oh

haven't even looked at it

[cobalt bramble]

It’s like $400 and it has ROC buckles

But cool camos so it kinda gets a pass

[naive maple]

i wish they had something with kywi inserts or something

instead of these taco knockoffs

[cobalt bramble]

Speaking of kywi they make they’re pouches in some pretty niche camos

VTS, USMC frog, fucking red for some reason, all the kryptec iirc etc

[marsh flint]

it is quite obvious that their main target customers are airsofters

since european etc

[naive maple]

i need rifle and pistol pouches for reservist shooting

can't use any of my kydex pouches

need 50% mag coverage lmao

so i guess i will land on kywis

[marsh flint]

I think those templars look and most probably are alright

[naive maple]

i already have real hsgi tacos

they are very bulky and retention is not the greatest

they are good at being compatible with many different things, but not much else

[marsh flint]

I bought Viper Tactical's shotgun shell holders also

[cobalt bramble]

Might try to build out a summer JPC and try to use a few odd camos

[naive maple]

what sort of shell holder is that

[marsh flint]

very simple

umm

that picture looks quite bad

but they are tight fit

[marsh flint]

thats good for belt

[naive maple]

idk if it is

its r tardedly big

[marsh flint]

I thought that is yours lol

[naive maple]

it is

but that doesnt mean i think its a good idea

its just what i have

shotgun stuff is very haphazard with me

[marsh flint]

I mean if you shoot a lot with that four shell picking style

[naive maple]

and my shotgun is in pieces right now

project

[marsh flint]

well maybe you should have a deck

these are sick

[cobalt bramble]

The kryptec HSGIs

Those are pretty rare

[naive maple]

are they

do people care about that

i bought them on clearance sale

[marsh flint]

https://youtu.be/kdI2U8VimMc?t=197

[cobalt bramble]

Some people do

[naive maple]

i gotta sell them

[marsh flint]

https://youtu.be/kdI2U8VimMc?t=711

[naive maple]

i will never be a shotgun gamer

that is a bridge too far

All of those polymer framed axes are shaped the same

Is it hollow in the middle?

I’m not sure

I’ve wailed on it pretty hard, it’s held up

[worthy heart]

I can't stand most polymer axes too much vibration

Some are fine

Some like the fiskar copies vibrate bad

The hatchets are fine

[low zodiac]

Meh, I don’t use it for felling as much as I do cutting up smaller things

But still wanted a felling axe for road clearing

I keep it on my truck primarily for that reason

Most complicated helmet light ever lol

[naive maple]

yucky

get yourself a nice petzl tikka to put on your pc instead

like a tasklight

[marsh flint]

Petzl ❤️

I still have mine working. Bought years before my conscription, lasted one of the most harsh winter in my time and still kicking.

And it costs like $20. Maybe $30 these days

[marsh flint]

Same batteries btw.

[worldly badger]

W fit

[plush topaz]

I have a few pezls but for my helmet i have 2 Princeton Tec lights I can switch between

[naive maple]

dont you feel like theres enough shit on your helmet as is?

not criticizing, genuinely asking

[plush topaz]

I have enough shit on my helmet yes.

I'm not adding anything. I was just asking if anyone used the streamlight model

Because it's huge.

Although using it would eliminate the need for a separate IFF beacon

[naive maple]

idk i'm just a reservist in a country not at war, i feel like i would rather have the task light somewhere else

but i wasnt infantry so

[marsh flint]

I've done that role too

Lights are typically a no no anyway

Red lights are good in the dark when there is light discipline

[plush topaz]

I had a headlamp on my helmet. It got in the way. Fell off. Etc...

[plush topaz]

Red light only

Task light on the vest works too. But tougher to aim

[plush topaz]

Time to cut it up and put it on my helmet

[marsh flint]

Not bad I guess

[snow scarab]

you don’t need to cut it

that headband comes apart in its own

[plush topaz]

WAY TO TELL ME AFTER

[snow scarab]

MF YOU CAN SEE WHERE IT GOES TOGETHER

[plush topaz]

My back is broken. Spinal.

Those level 4 plates man

Ah fair.

I got a special fin patch

you guys are IN finland

you should go every year

I bought tropic as a meme

[marsh flint]

I mean

[plush topaz]

Cursed mc black

[marsh flint]

Look at those rifles! The combo is sick

yea, that's the phrase

I bought a pair of meme shirts for like a couple of bucks

from local sporting goods store

this camo

[marsh flint]

I dont even recognize this 😂

[empty sorrel]

I mix both...

I just wish it weren't $600 for a used carrier

[marsh flint]

aors are quite horrific you are right

[empty sorrel]

AOR1 bottom, AOR2 top. Legs blend in with the dry brush, top blends in with the taller shrubs/trees.

I mean, the uniforms are plentiful

Even combat tops

[marsh flint]

I bought these for random fuckery in the range

[empty sorrel]

It's the equipment that's hard

[marsh flint]

those button pockets are semi horrible to use

[empty sorrel]

😭

[naive maple]

its an internet meme

it's like the CONSTANT whining about the mp7 on the internet

how many of those morons are gonna buy the tommy built mp7

not even 1%

[empty sorrel]

Helmet?

Just hydro dip it

[outer leaf]

M81 is such a good cammo and I like it because no militarys or PD's use it

[empty sorrel]

I don't get why opscore gets so much praise

They aren't really making anything novel

[naive maple]

woodland is not a good camo

there's a reason it was replaced

[marsh flint]

I love M05 but have you seen Estonian digital camo?

[naive maple]

and it doesnt matter what camo your gear is, just buy a solid color of gear and paint if necessary

[marsh flint]

yea its crazy how it blends into our woods

[naive maple]

the new norwegian pattern looks sick af

[empty sorrel]

I wish woodland marpat had less orange

[marsh flint]

we had little hide n seek and man

[empty sorrel]

That one that the green triangles?

[marsh flint]

I was about to ask whats your new

[outer leaf]

Do yall run your surefire's with our withour a pressure pad

[marsh flint]

aight thats nice

[naive maple]

woodland, desert, winter

[marsh flint]

I was about to say its like m05 + flectarn

[naive maple]

its the same colors as before but a better pattern

spot the man

[marsh flint]

estonians have more leaf trees and their flora is more leaf based than finnish taiga/tundra

so this is good for em

[naive maple]

same exercise

[marsh flint]

not easy either of them

[naive maple]

first one has a lot more contrast with the colors but just shows how universal it is

second is more "in season" with the colors

[marsh flint]

yea I thought its more like autumn time camo

[naive maple]

it doesn't matter, in a real peer conflict everyone will look the same within a week anyway

dirt, dust, blood, wear and tear

everyone will need to wear IFF tape like in the current conflict

regardless of uniforms

[naive maple]

[naive maple]

[marsh flint]

I like that estonians didnt just copy m05

thats a really nice digi

they are pretty

estonia is our little south helsinki

estonias?

very little. They entirely rely on nato

we've done their air defence in turns and collaboration with other nordics

There are fewer people living in Estonia than in Helsinki "metropolitan" area

officially yes

there are just a little more than a million of them

[marsh flint]

well we call this the capitol area, Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa

[plush topaz]

Tough to tell sometimes. Like you said

And even tougher in Gaza when they're all dressed in flip flops and track pants

[marsh flint]

peak aor 2

[naive maple]

well that's not a peer conflict

only one party is uniformed, like in iraq, afghanistan, syria

[plush topaz]

Oh really

What gave that away

[plush topaz]

@naive maple i meant to expand my joke but had to run for work lol

[naive maple]

i wanted to say something like "well the carpet bombing of kindergartens" but i don't actually care what you guys do down there so it would come off as insincere

[snow scarab]

why? it works well

[plush topaz]

LOL

Would be fucked up if true

More along the lines of, Hamas fire team using tunnel network set up ATGM positions inside kindergarten

[naive maple]

the prosecution of the war is, however, actually a shitshow

the friendly fire on israeli hostages

the friendly fire on the vehicles fleeing the trance festival

[plush topaz]

That incident was so bad

[plush topaz]

Unaware of that happening. But I saw many bullshit conspiracy theories about it.

[naive maple]

it's not "bullshit"

it is fairly obvious what happened

[plush topaz]

Yeah no. Lay off the tiktok lol

[naive maple]

the pilots were not able to distinguish hamas vehicles from fleeing vehicles

[plush topaz]

What pilots. What are you talking about

There was no air support during the reim massacre. Unfortunately

[naive maple]

yes there was, apache gunships were there https://www.haaretz.co.il/news/politics/2023-11-18/ty-article/0000018b-e1a5-d168-a3ef-f5ff4d070000

and that is the only explanation for the columns of massed destroyed vehicles

[plush topaz]

No, haaretz was mistaken and refuted by Israeli police and idf

[naive maple]

yeah. suuuure.

i am sympathetic to you as a person but that doesn't mean i trust anything the israeli government says during a war

not a thing

[plush topaz]

Lol. I had friends there.

How I wish there were Apache's present

Don't forget fighting in the area lasted days.

in Europe they made us point directly on the atlas when quizzed where a certain city or country is

as far as history

it was all propaganda

[plush topaz]

Let's talk gear

Leave the politics

[chrome sable]

[placid frigate]

its not really politics tbh its just school back in da day

people here who talk shit and get political dont really have gear or at least gear worth mentioning

[plush topaz]

My helmet is done

@coarse laurel how robust are these peltor helmet adapters?

[coarse laurel]

Which one

[snow scarab]

they are very robust

nice and tight

[coarse laurel]

I use amp arms on mine

[snow scarab]

gross

[coarse laurel]

But they hold up well as long as they are the 3M’s

[plush topaz]

Ya. They are

[coarse laurel]

I don’t wanna hear this from you

[plush topaz]

[snow scarab]

the amps are terrible

[plush topaz]

Why are they bad? Never used.

[snow scarab]

i know someone on his 3rd pair

[snow scarab]

brittle as all fuck

[coarse laurel]

talking about the headset or arms?

[snow scarab]

socom should’ve never transferred from peltors

[snow scarab]

both

[plush topaz]

These comtacs are insane. The sound quality is unreal

[coarse laurel]

i dont use the headset i use my dual lead peltors

[chrome sable]

[coarse laurel]

mine has held. the fact that it hasnt fucking popped off during UH-60 jumps means it works lol.

[snow scarab]

VIs are even better

[plush topaz]

@coarse laurel what do you think I should do. I got level 4 plates but I'm struggling training in them.

[coarse laurel]

i use an AXL adapter on it

[plush topaz]

I have 3+ I can use instead

[snow scarab]

what’s their weight?

[coarse laurel]

what are they

like what plates

[plush topaz]

Canadian armour. You wouldn't know then

[coarse laurel]

are you just not used to these specific plates or what

[plush topaz]

They're just heavy

[snow scarab]

weigh them mf

[plush topaz]

My 3+ are much lighter

[snow scarab]

are they multicurve?

the lvl 4s

[coarse laurel]

honestly idk what to tell you other than wear them more

[plush topaz]

The worst threat id face is a 50 cal. Iranian sayad rifle

Nothing will stop that

[snow scarab]

he also uses a 119

that could play into it

[plush topaz]

Agilite k zero

The 119 is gone

[snow scarab]

still not a very load bearing carrier

[coarse laurel]

the agilite should make this easier lol

[snow scarab]

doesn’t interface like the SPC does

[coarse laurel]

all your straps are adjusted?

[plush topaz]

Yes the carrier is comfortable

Keep in mind I'm old

I feel like I'll injure myself with these

[coarse laurel]

one thing i liked about my old agilite was the straps in the plate bag holding and stabilizing the SAPI

[plush topaz]

The k zero has no straps

The k19 does tho

[coarse laurel]

probably just need to condition yourself more

[plush topaz]

Train harder eh

[coarse laurel]

yeah, when i got a herniated disc from a jump a physical therapist had me on a specific program because weight was hurting me, especially wearing body armor

[plush topaz]

I have another month to train

I'll keep at it

[coarse laurel]

just dont hurt yourself, and stretches help alot

[plush topaz]

Yeah. It's just I don't even have grenades or full magazines yet

So it's gonna get a lot heavier once I get back lol

Trying hard not to push it.

[coarse laurel]

i was on some steroid pill taper and some strong muscle relaxants when i fucked up my L3-L4

[plush topaz]

Jump?

[coarse laurel]

i was not a happy camper lol

yeah

[plush topaz]

Fuck.

[coarse laurel]

i ended up on a tree

lol

was my fault

[plush topaz]

Damn not even from landing on solid ground eh

[coarse laurel]

funny enough where we do our jumps it hurts less landing on the dirt

The ground here feels soft because there’s a top layer of sand and ash from this field being burned often

[plush topaz]

That's good

I'm so thankful I didn't have to jump due to budget cuts

I'm a paratrooper without wings

[coarse laurel]

we also jump from blackhawks

in my unit

[plush topaz]

Well that's some fancy ranger shit

[coarse laurel]

it just takes forever because its 6 jumpers at a time

[plush topaz]

This is so cool

[coarse laurel]

jumping is overrated tho, im doing it for the extra VA disability %

[snow scarab]

yeah in actual combat it’s been proven ineffective as of the last 5 years lol

[coarse laurel]

and the extra 150

i also got tired of being called a leg

lol

showed up to this unit as a leg and it was fucking annoying not having wings

[low fox]

Going on a trip to the mountains of Tennessee, decided to put the ol Soviet tourist bag to the test. Packed a full weeks worth of clothes and cold weather gear in this baby lol.

Photo of a Spetsnaz soldier in the Afghan war using a similar model tourist bag. A lotta Spets would privately purchase civilian items, such as bags/hats/quality of life stuff/etc because…Well, Soviet. Lol

[storm peak]

Lol if im not jumping I’m doing jump coverage

At least I’m not doing chute detail

[magic narwhal]

Copied it from the finns, who kicked their asses on skis

[low fox]

oh I bet

never fight the Finnish in snow

[muted gate]

ski troops are actually a really needed thing up north

especially in a time where the infrastructure was lacking

10th Mountian initially formed as a unit ONLY of people who could ski, thus making it an upper middleclass unit

[naive maple]

"ski troops" are a funny concept to those of us that live places where every soldier needs to be able to ski

[marsh flint]

We're the same

The best way to proceed in a snowy forest is skis.

There are meters of snow in the north

GG trying to carry your ruck+combat gear on that

It's also very much more effective

And you can slide the hills

People would buy them if they could, for the same reason

im buying it because i want one
