It's like dosed after surgeries (reduces shivering) and cancer induced pain

Probably ok in battlefield context

[tawny bane]

I take it for this context

[naive maple]

just for daily life in russia

[tawny bane]

[slow pendant]

what is it?

[slow pendant]

if i read that correctly each syringe has 20mg correct? sorry my russian isn't very good

[tawny bane]

yeah, about Russian no problem, my english is not nice too

[slow pendant]

nice

[marsh flint]

?

[slow pendant]

the reason nefopam isnt common in everyday life, what is it?

[marsh flint]

Many haven't even heard about it.

Because there are lighter options

I mean it's non opiate yes but quite strong

But hey I never claimed to be a medical/pharmacy pro

[slow pendant]

oh ok

thanks

[marsh flint]

I can only speak of what Ive seen and experienced. Ibuprofein and paracetamol are the most common ones

If they are not enough, then comes options

Also some medicine are recipe free in other countries and in some countries they are not

[violet wigeon]

decathlon

[slow pendant]

Yes

[violet wigeon]

Incredible

[slow pendant]

I just love the collective autism we all share

Incredible

[dusty horizon]

Fact. Also Nefopam is a prescription-only PK (in the US), so I am not sure how or if it's used in military / Police IFAK setups. I keep Ibuprofen and Paracetamol (Tylenol if someone wanted to go by a familiar name) in mine.

[naive maple]

i keep ibuprofen, paracetamol and aspirin

[violet wigeon]

Gotta get them all

[white current]

I have one in my boo boo pack too

it's potent so I don't use it

[low zodiac]

What is even in those things?

[white current]

herbal ointment

pretty much like a 50 in 1 use thing, for mosquito bites, etc

sprains, bruises, flu

[low zodiac]

Does it really work?

[white current]

Yep, very much so

That's one of the smallest sizes you can get, there's tubs of that but I've never seen one that's even 1/5 used up

they're pretty inexpensive

[dusty horizon]

Think of Goldenstars as Tiger Balm. Very similar. I use the ones I have for headaches and it works wonders. I am assuming that is what was being talked about, lol. Bonus points because they smell AMAZING

[coarse laurel]

no Nefopam, Ifaks normally only have MARCH stuff, combat pillpacks given during combat deployments only have Moxifloxacin, Meloxicam, and Acetaminophen

we also DO not give narcs to non medics period

[dusty horizon]

nod nod And definitely understanding of that.

[coarse laurel]

Personally I also started carrying these

[worldly orbit]

I also carry one of these in kit

Helps on firewatch

This + odens snus

[storm peak]

Ima need you to send me your supply of sun screen please

[ornate tusk]

Just copped this

[lucid roost]

wow

[onyx skiff]

Hey guys, how big is a 30 liter military backpack?

I wanna know if it's enough for my needs

[onyx skiff]

I'll give you 26K roubles for it

Yeah?

By what I saw off pics 50 liter bags looked really big

But I don't really have a solid idea so that's why I was asking

What do you use the 50 liter for

[naive maple]

volume measurements on packs is pretty useless anyway

[onyx skiff]

I would be using it as a general use backpack so probably smaller would be better

Yeah I saw one on Amazon that was cheap

Had molle straps too

I was only worried if it was big enough since it's hard to judge by pics and of the durability since they seem really cheap

Yep that exact thing

This was the exact pic

That's good to know

I wanna get them in camo but I'll look like a weirdo

Also @slow pendant do you recommend any molle pouches I should get with it?

Oh oki

Is it possible to put patches on them then? I was thinking of getting a usec patch

Oh sweet

[plush topaz]

Pouches on an assault pack will just snag shit

[onyx skiff]

Wdym?

[naive maple]

he means your pack juts out of your back and if you have all sorts of random shit on the outside of it it will snag

whether in an urban environment or in a forest

you should organize shit inside the pack, not on the outside

[onyx skiff]

Oh oki

[naive maple]

i know samwise gamgee is a based character but his backpack setup is not one to clone

[onyx skiff]

I figured I could get like a molle pouch on the side of the bag to shove a water bottle in or something

[onyx skiff]

Pan in the outside is necessary, if PUBG taught me anything it can stop rounds

[naive maple]

[onyx skiff]

[coarse laurel]

Are you in JRTC rn or something?

Haha

[wary crow]

Found this legendary comment

[last moat]

its made for seek vanes

cool lol!

[wary crow]

Ik lol

[sudden depot]

all of the comments on the ledx, the irl sicc case etc is all tarkov

same with the real sanotorium where the tarkov one is based off

lol

[wary crow]

Yeah lol

[marsh flint]

Where did you see them

Reddit?

[ashen edge]

ive seen one or two on Tele

[marsh flint]

Okay

[ashen edge]

still dont get why he brought it up though

[marsh flint]

Lolz

[onyx skiff]

See the rest of the comments there's like 2 that aren't about tarkov

[onyx skiff]

Can you send me the links to them in dms?

[compact dagger]

self made STLs for that or found em online ?

I'd just want to print the USEC one, and the hatchet, maybe a BEAR if you have that too

[low fox]

Found em, u have to make the bear one

[compact dagger]

ah

[low fox]

Just find the font

[compact dagger]

wdym

[ionic forum]

Anybody have any recommendations for like a something like a budget JPC that isn't gonna fray after a year

Looking to spend 100-150$, but I might just bite the bullet

[plush topaz]

Jpc

[cinder stream]

Buy once

Crye once

[low fox]

Find the tarkov font

[compact dagger]

I meant the usec patch one

not just plain usec writing

[low fox]

I do have the stl for that

[ionic forum]

I'll get the JPC. Rn I got a little UnobtaniumGear dank robber for range days and airsoft. Works fine, but good plates are getting affordable so I figured I'd get something better

I'm not super autistic about my gear, don't need Crye brand dump pouch lol

[wary crow]

No I mostly saw real comments

[plush topaz]

Some stuff should be quality. Other stuff doesn't have to be.

[marsh flint]

Ye

Like pouches don't matter so much

[woven nacelle]

[muted gate]

unironically, look for gear groups on facebook for deals

you should be able to find a JPC in an off color for that price

[plush topaz]

These grenade pouches are awesome

[shy charm]

Fuck

[naive maple]

send me grenades uncle

i am normal and can be trusted with grenades

[maiden kernel]

How do those work, they look hard to grab from

[snow scarab]

@plush topaz @worthy heart what do you call a fish with cancer?

finding chemo

[ionic forum]

Color doesn't matter too much to me. In fact, I'd take a dirty tropic multicam JPC over a new regular multicam JPC

[ionic forum]

Also, nice magazine loops lmao

[plush topaz]

?

[plush topaz]

Safe and simple

[plush topaz]

HAHAHAHA

[maiden kernel]

Seems a little harder to access than a velcro pouch but it's more quiet I guess.

[compact dagger]

I guess first thing that you pressed down was "safety" so you don't accidentally open that ?

[plush topaz]

Much, much easier than a clipped or Velcro pouch

[plush topaz]

Correct. And even still you have to pinch both buttons to release

[compact dagger]

can you buy those or they are military issued ?

[plush topaz]

You can buy. They're issued to our special forces

[compact dagger]

I'd like to get some of them, but probably will be sitting there without use since we barely get any exercises with grenade usage

And even when we do I get fucking lucky and they don't explode

idk if i just get duds or im doing something wrong

except BCT in all times I threw grenades 75% were fucking duds

[plush topaz]

@compact dagger https://acs-pouch.com/product/frag-grenade-tac-holster/

You can get ones for flashbangs and smoke grenades too

[compact dagger]

idk what grenades we are using tho, can't remember the name of it

so idk if it would even fit

[maiden kernel]

Well what military was it

[compact dagger]

Latvian

I know that we got those grenades from some other country

I think sweden maybe

[maiden kernel]

Probably M67 Frags.

[compact dagger]

nah

not those for sure

[maiden kernel]

M26's maybe?

They're the egg shaped ones like the one in the image for that holster

[compact dagger]

yea looks kinda similar but it also had another safety lever you had to lift before throwing

cant find it on pics on google

[maiden kernel]

Strange

[compact dagger]

yea can't find any pictures of ones we have, and even AI chatbot isn't of help

[compact dagger]

sadly we don't usually get american smokes, and I doubt it will fit ours

I know for a fact it won't fit "chernobyl" smoke, idk whats the actual name but our guys always call it that

[ionic forum]

The electrical tape

[unborn bramble]

im not a big enough loser to say those aren't neat, but it seems like the same thing the US did about writing/documenting work done in zero gravity.
the american solution being to engineer a pen that can write in zero gravity, while the russian solution was to just bring a pencil.

[unborn bramble]

good to know, I'm not much of a Big10 fan but they look pretty cool.

[plush topaz]

It isn't electrical tape

[plush topaz]

Ok

[naive maple]

thats duct tape

[low zodiac]

Versus these shitters? I bet it’s night and day

[naive maple]

forget those dollar store grenades anyway

give me this

[unborn bramble]

if you need to throw something, throw hands.
come at me.
||yes those things are fr terrible but will hold MRE snacks 100% better||

[woven nacelle]

yea my grandfather in Samachablo during 90s saw one of the helmets with Altyn visor. btw he used SSh-68 and 6b3 green armor or 6b5.

[fast fiber]

georgia mentioned RAHHHH 🇬🇪🐺⚔️

[marsh flint]

Lol

U Finnish or something

[empty sorrel]

You know the other half of that anecdote?

The Russians switched to the same pens, because the graphite dust from the pencils could short out electronics and cause fires.

[unborn bramble]

yeah i always wondered what they would do about breaking a tip or it getting dull.

would have to worry about removal/filtration, if nothing else.

[low fox]

Howdy

[karmic panther]

The pencil is the worst option in that analogy still

[muted gate]

because the soviet space agency was a cludge

mir sucked

reeeeee

[unreal knoll]

Found this in a Bosnian flea market for the equivalent of 11 dollars

[unborn bramble]

Prove it, describe the differences in environmental systems between Soviet and American era space ships.

[plush topaz]

[muted gate]

the fact the soviets copied shit without knowing its purpose

Buran is a great fucking example

it coppied the leading edge design (i think it was the leading edge) so faithfully without understanding the purpose. Problem was that the math didnt add up. Im trying to remember the citation for it

or the fact that mir was such a fucking cludge

[empty sorrel]

Well, for one, ours tended to not light our orbiters on fire or suffocate the crew on re-entry

Three Soviet cosmonauts remain the only human deaths in space

[karmic panther]

Pencil lead break pen no break

[unborn bramble]

and yet, one of ours did before even leaving the atmosphere. lets not throw stones at dead spacemen-or those who tried to be.

[plush topaz]

Pencil shavings floating in the cabin

[muted gate]

two very different errors

the soyuz 11 death was due to a failure that everyone knew was a problem. Leonov, the original commander of soyuz 11, told them to turn off the pressure valve manually he didnt trust the system.

the Apollo 1 deaths were due to a compound choice of using pure oxygen and an electrical short

a decision that was recified by overhauling check procedures and swapping to a mixed gas

[snow scarab]

yeah, like any country that’s sent people to space has had that happen i’m pretty sure lol. didn’t the russians have one explode while on the ground still?

[muted gate]

Statistically speaking the Americans have had more astronauts die

the Soviets have five deaths and the Russians have one more after the break with the Soviet Union. the Americans have had 24

and no none of the rockets the Soviets launched blew up on the pad killing anyone. the Soviets had the Soyuz 11 issue a parachute failure on Soyuz one, an early test with a jet fighter, and the Russians had an astronaut die after they couldn't recover From the water and he drowned

And even removing the two shuttle disasters we had more people die

That would bring the number to 10 people dying And space related incidents

[marsh flint]

Yeah

[marsh flint]

around a grand

iirc afaik

@calm stone

[sudden depot]

oh no

please dont summon her

[calm stone]

Kinda stopped manufacturing/ out of batch cycle rn

Usually like 150

A new Acog is about a grand and change, used your can get em well under. Around the price we’ve looked at

[marsh flint]

as she should

: )

[thick breach]

Ta31 you can get for well under a grand. the TA01 will cost around 1k-1.2k

[calm stone]

Emphasis ‘can’

What I said are new prices

[thick breach]

they did go up a bit. few months ago were going for around 8-900. got may TA02 for little under 1200

[calm stone]

I’m mixed on if I even want one

It would be fun for one of my clone setups but like. Meh

[thick breach]

i like it a lot its for my go to war rifle. buy once cry once i learned waisting a lot of money lol

[calm stone]

I’ve never liked my time behind the Acog. I’m one of the ones who liked the Elcan

Been running an EoKek and magnifier on my main which is meh. And wanting to shift to using a CNVD or clip on thermal setup

Used to run a razor which I sold to a buddy whose also here

[thick breach]

gotcha. i used the TA31 for a while on my m4 so i was used to it. i got the crosshair recticle on my TA02. Elcan is good just heavy

[calm stone]

Lighter than what I had on her

Used to be shy of 14 pound

Now she’s ‘only’ 13 1/2

[thick breach]

oof. i think mines around 9 ish. just submitted my paper work to sbr it for a 11.5 barrell

[calm stone]

Based 11.5 gang

I have a 11.5 sbr as my main. She’s heavy tho that’s for sure

[timber fog]

There’s just something about A2 foregrips that never gets old

Sick setup

[ashen edge]

The A2 foregrip slaps

Wanna see one mounted to a A3 round hand guard for some reason

[thick breach]

bottom rifle is my soon to be sbr

[marsh flint]

Nice rofle

[thick breach]

lol

[plush topaz]

How come

You'd have loved the weapon of one of the civilian town security guards. Colt commando with eotech exps 3 and mini eotech magnifier on the carry handle. I should've snapped A pic for you

[calm stone]

Eyebox/ relief

I hate it

[calm stone]

Based

[plush topaz]

Yeah the eye relief is short. I'm used to it. That's why I generally run it without rear BUIS

So it can move it as far back as possible. Cuz with armour and a fully collapsed stock it can still be tricky

To get into it

[calm stone]

Yeah

[calm stone]

Lol. But the Elcan gets what 3 1/2in of it

It’s almost LPVO length

[plush topaz]

Way better

[calm stone]

Yeah

[plush topaz]

My. Solution to no buis was to mount an rmr on top

That worked very well. But I didnt bring my own acog this time because I thought I was getting an m16 again

[calm stone]

Pffff fair

But because of that you got the arms mount!

Anyways eepy time GN

[worldly orbit]

Just got this bad boy

[heady crag]

good ass watch

[naive maple]

[snow scarab]

why is it so far forward

i run my acog as far back as possible

[naive maple]

presumably he has set it so that it is at the correct eye relief for his stock position, face, and shooting position

[snow scarab]

well sure. but if you move it back you can have a more comfortable stock position and length of pull

also, i asked him, not you

so shush

[naive maple]

i didn't even ping you

if you didn't want a discussion you should have made it a PM

[plush topaz]

@snow scarab @naive maple is right

Perfect placement for me

[snow scarab]

why are you so bunched up on your rifle?

aren’t you like 6’2

[plush topaz]

My armour is thicc

[calm stone]

So you are using the collapsing stock what it’s designed for

Kek

[plush topaz]

Exactly

It's also the same spot (T-10 rail section) where I run it on my Canadian AR with colt Canada rear BUIS

[calm stone]

With my carrier I run mine at like. Pos 2? Pos 3?

[plush topaz]

But I misplaced it and didn't have it

[calm stone]

But I’m running lighter stuff

I can imagine you have 4’s

[plush topaz]

I do.

[calm stone]

Figures

[plush topaz]

The agilite carrier is built well so you almost always can shoulder on your actual shoulder

But hunched over in awkward positions it'll hit plate

[calm stone]

Yeh ofc

[tawny bane]

I buy my first helmet

centry copy

uhwmpe + kevlar+ carbon in edges

[naive maple]

based

pics?

[tawny bane]

I will recive it in 2 days +-

[naive maple]

[tawny bane]

it has a propylene frame inside to absorb trauma

I think it's okay for first helmet

He have a nice price too

Original ops core 3000$ in my country

[tawny bane]

I wanna this cover for it

Looks awesome

[plush topaz]

Dope

[naive maple]

yes

i really need a cover

[empty sorrel]

Please tell me it's not Chinese

[tawny bane]

50/50 this is Russian brand, they have 2 manufactures 1 in China, 1 in Russia

[muted gate]

ars arma has shifted mostly to china

production requirements due to putins 3 day adventure has resulted in them not meeting needs

VKPO 3.0 is made in china aswell

[tawny bane]

Yeah, i recive plate from ars arma 1 mounth ago, quality is nice but its not a old ars arma

[muted gate]

wanna hook a brother up with some Zastava Izhevsk

[tawny bane]

[muted gate]

i also need some shit off avito

too bad i cant FUCKING PAY THEM

[empty sorrel]

Personally I wouldn't trust a Chinese helmet to stop a bullet.

Would rather use an old surplus one

[tawny bane]

I saw guys who were saved by this helmet, photos of helmets with damage from shrapnel, I saw hundreds of reviews of these helmets, I’m a civilian, I took it in case something bad happened, and I trust it

82mm mortar

[snow scarab]

real

[muted gate]

its a glancing hit, thats why it worked

[empty sorrel]

There's a difference between something that might catch a bullet, and something I would actually trust

[maiden kernel]

I mean to be fair that's kinda not giving the helmet credit where it's due. If the helmet wasn't there to start with it most likely would have killed whoever was wearing it.

[thick breach]

helmets are for glancing blows. they sometimes can take direct hits but they are made mainly for shrapnel

[muted gate]

....... I know

Read what i said again

[thick breach]

nvm read something completely different

[outer leaf]

Just ordered my first set of plates

[timber fog]

Nice

What’d you get

?

[outer leaf]

L211's

Not the gucciest

But they should do the trick until I can afford something nicer

[timber fog]

At least they’re not steel…

I would’ve saved the money personally

But at least you already plan to replace em

[outer leaf]

It will stop most threats and the 211's are a pretty big upgrade from the 210's

Double the multi hit capacity

Deff good enough for now

[snow scarab]

not really. it just uses the updated 4401 strike face

for its weight and being single curve only it’s a pretty shit plate

[onyx skiff]

What's wrong with steel

[naive maple]

have you ever shot a steel target?

[onyx skiff]

Its more likely to ricochet and hit your friends than hurt you though

But also how often would you be shot at an angle

[naive maple]

no, that's not what happens

the next time you shoot at steel targets, place paper targets around the steel to observe what happens

[onyx skiff]

It so happens your organs aren't around your plate but behind it

[naive maple]

where are your ARMS?

your FACE?

[onyx skiff]

Fair point

[onyx skiff]

Wouldn't this be fixed by adding a ceramic plate or something in front of it?

Like the shrapnel bouncing

Or UHMWPE plate to absorb it

[naive maple]

then you already have ceramic armor

why are you adding the bulk of steel to it

steel is for when you can't afford ceramic

it is heavier and less capable

[onyx skiff]

Have fun using it after it falls off your hand one time

[snow scarab]

what

i see you’re one of those idiots who think ceramic is dog shit because it breaks or something like that lol

[naive maple]

do you think ceramic armor is like porcelain?

first you think rounds ricochet off steel instead of fragmenting, now you think ceramic shatters if it takes a fall

maybe you should set your brain to "receive" on the subject for a bit

[onyx skiff]

Does happen on an angle

Has happened when I've shot steel targets

[naive maple]

very nice

looks dark af

[obsidian wolf]

Hello, Also I see there’s a steel vs ceramic argument.

[naive maple]

what were the conditions?

[obsidian wolf]

Overcast no/minimal star or moon coverage tree canopy

[digital tiger]

That is spall not a ricochet….

That’s what would be hitting you in the nuts and femoral arteries…

[naive maple]

is it from now?

so there is still some moonlight behind the cloud coverage

i really look forward to the new moon next week

finally get to test my pvs14 in real conditions

[onyx skiff]

sorry english isnt my first language and in my main language we call ricochet

[obsidian wolf]

So let me Introduce myself as someone who uses armor daily and fights in it. Modern ceramics are crazy and you ain’t breaking shit. If you take a big ass fall go to your local veterinarian and pay him $20 to scan em. Also I’ve been shot wearing steel and almost took a forever nap from the spall nearly taking a trip into the back of my skull. Round impact left shoulder section and spall cut the back strap of my hat.

[small pine]

Ceramic armor should potentially absorb more power

Thus making dentations less likely

[obsidian wolf]

Buy ceramics even RMA heavy ass ones are infinetly better than steel.

[onyx skiff]

if you dont mind me asking where did you fight?

[digital tiger]

Hold up you mean I was right about something? 🤨

[small pine]

When ceramic breaks it doesnt throw away pieces of hot steel or frankly any heated debris because ceramic is very heat resistant afaik

[naive maple]

people buy 6 nearly identical budget ARs and steel armor

instead of 1 ar and real armor

[obsidian wolf]

Patrol Officer and Fugitive Recovery . Was shot in Benicia California.

[digital tiger]

Sub $500 ars at that

[obsidian wolf]

Currently a private contractor.

[naive maple]

yeah but a lot of them

so they could easily have bought one good AR and one good set of armor

[onyx skiff]

thats interesting

[small pine]

500 dollars for an AR sounds like a bliss here

[digital tiger]

Need a precision guy?

[obsidian wolf]

Contracts are opening up in Africa, especially if you can speak Madarin/Cantoneese

[small pine]

What da hell happened in Benicia California?

[obsidian wolf]

I got shot by a 3rd party chasing a fugitive.

@naive maple also that footage is from Jerry31s very impressive for their price point

[plush topaz]

@obsidian wolf for real you quit tho? This recent?

[onyx skiff]

I dont get it

[obsidian wolf]

Like mid Feb. got tired of shit admin, negotiated with a contracting group, quit and went full time there within 24hrs.

[plush topaz]

Derogatory word for cop

[onyx skiff]

aaaah alright

[plush topaz]

Ah. That's why. I didn't know sorry. We'll best of luck at your new position my friend.

[onyx skiff]

pmc sounds better, you get paid way more for risking your life than other military jobs

[plush topaz]

Depends what you're doing. Security can be a tough industry. I've been in close protection for 12 years. It's hard

[obsidian wolf]

Been doing odd work for groups solo for about 8 months. Definetly hit or miss sometimes with jobs.

Best 1 so far was playing golf with a CFO because he was worried he was going to get schwacked.

[plush topaz]

So few business leaders take their own security seriously

[obsidian wolf]

These workplace violence deals are easy money.

[digital tiger]

🤣 sounds like the time I got hired for a birthday party..

“Just Incase things got rowdy”…… the average age at this party ended up being 70ish….

[obsidian wolf]

Right? And at $50 an hour I ain’t saying shit.

Gotcha just curious

[thick breach]

You a patrol deputy?

[digital tiger]

I’m no PMC. Just a dude that likes to shoot stuff and highly trained in deescalation.

Why would anyone write something like that？www.wvtool.com

[brazen sigil]

I am, as well as SRT/SWAT

Getting out of the military they said I could either be a gay stripper or a cop, so after 3 disappointing months, I became a cop lmfao

[tawny bane]

SRT/SWAT is awesome

[naive maple]

the tips were that bad huh

[fluid plover]

So what you're saying is you were a gay stripper for 3 months

[obsidian wolf]

That’s what I got out of the memo

[fluid plover]

That, or he never got out of it so he got a second job.

So he's a gay cop stripper

[obsidian wolf]

Gay swat cop stripper. Gotta put that respec on his name

[raven beacon]

wtf am I reading

[obsidian wolf]

We are roasting Deano

Get with the times nerd.

[low zodiac]

Why does it not work

[thick breach]

Is the retention thing in the female buckle broke?
Also on the male buckle near the strap might have to push in the bit sticking out first?

[timber linden]

You’d probably make so much more money in private security

Be a lot more chillaxed too

They want ex vets and cops, and since you are both you’ll land a pretty decent job pretty easily.

[low zodiac]

Yeah the tab was bent wrong, I figured it out

[plush topaz]

No pension but Better pay. No politics.

In some cases anyway

[maiden kernel]

I think the buckle is broken

Oh you already figured it out

Well fuck me

[low zodiac]

I did

Electromagnetic radiation from the radio you are using can be a clear problem for some tubes... .
The imitating antenna of the radio was approx. 10-20cm away, transmitting power 1 watt.
The left tube is a Photonis 4G, the right one is a NNVT-5

After we pushed the PTT Button the tube starts to dim down, flicker or just turnd off.

Instagram

chinese tubes are just as good bro

[brazen sigil]

Probably, but I can’t kick in doors and scream at people doing security lol

We work 12’s on shift, but every other off day we do recon/training for possible callouts and create tactics to handle the scenarios. Most of our team are devildogs, so we’re pretty squared away.

Where my motivators at? 😂

[coarse laurel]

what were you?

[brazen sigil]

AF MP, 31 bravo

Did three years n some change and switched to marines for a year with an ad sep lol rip my career

USMC Inf, 11 bravo for a single deployment before my article n separation. Super aids

little did i know rocks could get sunburnt, I flipped each one until they all had proper sunlight on each side

[tiny meadow]

Damn

And here’s my pog ass

[brazen sigil]

been a cop for like 4 years now, SRT/SWAT for a year. Stay hard, work hard.

[snow scarab]

is that a coyote FLC???

[low zodiac]

it is

[snow scarab]

weirda

[low zodiac]

truly deplorable piece of gear

[snow scarab]

also i’m sorry

[snow scarab]

just put B

who tf spells it out

weirdo

[brazen sigil]

Because the fuckin civies here won’t understand otherwise

@snow scarab mos?

[snow scarab]

12B and 19D

[snow scarab]

how is bravo easier to understand than B?

[brazen sigil]

I was going to talk shit but our engineer was kinda a badass while on deployment

Oh shit 19d? You scrolled or naw

@snow scarab

[snow scarab]

scrolled?

no

i’m just a regular scout

however i do hope to get a sapper tab

i’m guard so i got moved around due to the needs of my state. i’ll get 19C too and im probably going to transfer to 11B when i get back lol

[brazen sigil]

That’s wassup, how many years you got in so far?

Imma guess E3-4

Ol salt dawg

[plush topaz]

I don't understand either way

[snow scarab]

E4 with 3 years in

[coarse laurel]

I was a 19D now 68W, currently work at The ranger school down in Benning

[formal skiff]

For these reasons I like classic belt block

[coarse laurel]

There’s no 19D’s in regiment

[snow scarab]

there are 12Bs tho

i want to be ranger and sapper tabbed but most likely not gonna happen

sapper tab at minimum

[raven beacon]

E4 MAFIA

[thick breach]

I was a 35M but deployed as a saw gunner with the last LRS unit the year before they disbanded

Hated intel, everyone a leach in that field

[brazen sigil]

Ayy that’s wassup doc

[coarse laurel]

Sheesh that’s awhile ago, one of the medics here was in LRS out of bragg

When it was a thing

[thick breach]

Yeah back in 2014 lol. i honestly think they are going to need them again soon.

[coarse laurel]

These idiots shouldn’t have disbanded RSTA’s and cav squadrons

The ARSTRUC is stupid

[thick breach]

That’s the good new woke army for you. Can’t even say anything mean without getting in trouble now I heard

[coarse laurel]

It does feel like that especially after 2020

Thankfully I’m insulated from most of that shit here

[obsidian wolf]

You can if you choose the right contracts.

[obsidian wolf]

Will test this tonight.

I’ve got some big boi radio units and handhelds

[outer leaf]

My plates finally came in

[snow scarab]

are they in the carrier?

[burnt flare]

photonis echo WP cuz I'm poor

[obsidian wolf]

Tested my jerry31s with 3 radios of various output

Only time they had issue was the 8watt radio with the antenna literally touching the tube it turned off

Talked to my neighbor full bore convo with it on various normal places and had no issue

Will evaluate further.

@naive maple

[low zodiac]

Does anyone here hunt coyotes?

I wanna know if a thermal handheld would be more beneficial than a Pvs14 setup

I’ve heard a lot of good things about thermals but don’t know if the hype is real

[muted gate]

tinky does in moldov

[low zodiac]

we dont like tinky

hes stinky

[marsh flint]

Aha

[marsh flint]

Ahh empiric research

The best

[low zodiac]

Disregard this is way out of my price range either way 💀

Apparently hunting a coyote is like hunting people

[echo jay]

Ar-15 with a good flashlight on it:

[stark remnant]

Zip ties are key

[plush topaz]

Pvs14 with a laser

[naive maple]

very good

[harsh crown]

Can anyone reccomend a good pouch for holding ammo boxes like this?

[plush topaz]

A pouch for BOXES?

Why don't you grab a folding pouch with elastic that'll hold each round

Something like this.

It's what we use as snipers

[marsh flint]

A backbag

[harsh crown]

I need to carry bulk ammo, i do feral dog/cat shooting on foot

[plush topaz]

So toss loose ammo in a zip up pouch

[naive maple]

thats what i do

much nicer than boxes

[harsh crown]

I carry 2 10 round mags ( not buying more at $560 a piece) and shoot on really good nights 300-400 rounds. I carry the boxes loose in my pack and they rattle and make too much noise

[plush topaz]

Come again

$560 for a magazine

400 rounds of.... What.

That's heavy

Are you killing every cat in the county

[marsh flint]

People have odd problems

[plush topaz]

When I carry loose ammo I fill a fanny pack cross slung or even around my waist.

[harsh crown]

Sako TRG-22

[grand mountain]

the hell

[harsh crown]

308

[grand mountain]

yeah they're

not 500 a piece

they're like 200

[harsh crown]

On sale

[grand mountain]

oh aussie dollars

yeah idk then

[harsh crown]

Alot of opportunity shots come up. Pigs, goats, rabbits, camels ect ect.

Anything non native gets blasted

[marsh flint]

Well

An aussie just said on the other channel that trgs are like $20 000+

There

[naive maple]

thats why you fuck off the boxes and keep the rounds loose

much better

[harsh crown]

i paid $10k for mine

i think the goofy ahh A1 TRG's go for a bit more

[marsh flint]

Good choice

[harsh crown]

mines tan

[plush topaz]

That's insanely heavy. My full FN mag loadout was 650 rounds on me lol

I could barely move

[harsh crown]

im 6ft 4 300~ lbs lol

This is all the shit i carry, most of it being bed/shelter supplies, 400 rounds of ammo, 4L of water and other small misc shit

[shut escarp]

BRUH

okay i don't have that type of issue myself but honestly why not just use a bandoleer or belt with a bunch of pouches to keep ammo in them.

[raven beacon]

why??

why is it 10k

couldve build a top tier ar10 for half the price

[ashen edge]

could be that they shoot competition

[raven beacon]

slap a barrel with the same specs on an ar10 lol

plus semis are better for follow ups

[echo jay]

I don't think they can, aussies are insanely cucked

[raven beacon]

oh hes australian

that makes sense

[echo jay]

and yet another suspiciously weathly furry

[low zodiac]

[obsidian wolf]

Diopter Sac Lens

[obsidian wolf]

When in doubt go test hypothesis or theory.

I’ll mess with it further but I only had issues with the antenna directly touching the unit.

[naive maple]

iris blenders are a necessity imo

infinitely practical

[obsidian wolf]

UV protection on the sac lens too

So it darkens the view a tad but it that’s a good thing to have. I need to get 2 rubber rings or something though for the front adjustment for focus as the iris adjustment now is prohibitive to that function.

[plush topaz]

Monopod

Sling mount

[snow scarab]

so why are you using .308 for that? and where are you that AR10 magazines are 560 bucks a piece???

.308 OTMs no less. just use 5.56

[harsh crown]

i shot the barrel out of my tikka 223 lol

[snow scarab]

then replace it?

cheaper to replace the barrel than to just switch to fucking .308

[harsh crown]

nah, i moved to 308 for longer range capability and 223 didnt always work that well on goats. Ive seen rounds bounce and not penetrate. Not often but it does happen

[plush topaz]

No shoulder. To stabilize on the ground.

[obsidian wolf]

Not for the super super stability

3 points of contact

[naive maple]

rear monopod is kinda 80s/90s

people these days mostly use rear bags

[obsidian wolf]

^ this is true

However they do have a place

[snow scarab]

what? doubt that. heavily doubt that you are watching rounds bounce off a goat. you shooting goats at 2500 meters?

@digital tiger what range does 5.56 lose enough velocity to bounce off skin?

[marsh flint]

It doesnt

Rifle bullet is deadly at every point of the parabola

[digital tiger]

Let me look.

[marsh flint]

I told already.

Scientific fact.

[plush topaz]

Let's get spooky

[outer leaf]

Stay safe out there big man

I'm glad the IDF is keeping ranger green alive

[harsh crown]

its bouncing off their skull

that thing they like to slam into rocks and other goats skulls for fun

[thick breach]

i can see that, the .45 will bounce off a wild hogs skull

[harsh crown]

ive only ever seen 5.56 bounce with a full frontal headshot

[thick breach]

yeah that be the spot since they like to headbutt stuff lol

[urban patrol]

any one got a avs with dual 152 radio setup? plz show

[marsh berry]

I'm going to say something

That will scare all of you

Crye precision.

[harsh crown]

?

[urban patrol]

confused

[marsh berry]

Wrong server

[digital tiger]

32 ft pounds is considered to be potentially fatal.

[storm peak]

Das bmi on some of those jokers

[marsh flint]

Foot pound sounds like a unit from time when people never washed

[digital tiger]

Modern day says 59.

M193 still has about 100 at 1000 yards.

[marsh flint]

Yeh

An to even shoot at 1000 yds you have to make a parabola

[digital tiger]

My 77 smk load hits 59 ft pounds at 2300 yards.

[marsh flint]

So am I pretty correct huh

[digital tiger]

55s are sketchy at 1000

[marsh flint]

Yea but they drop before losing it

[snow scarab]

still highly doubt unless you are shooting at thousand of yards

[marsh flint]

And at the point of drop they still have a lot of energy

[digital tiger]

Correct.

[marsh flint]

[digital tiger]

Goats are are a bit tougher than humans

[digital tiger]

Also correct for the most part lol

[marsh flint]

There has been at least one long range hunting accident

Some hunter shot a bird rifle (possibly about .223 as they typically are) and it hit a cyclist from kilometers away

In wilderness

He died

[digital tiger]

In 2015. There was a girl killed here from over 1.5 miles away. With a muzzleloader someone discharged in the air after an unsuccessful hunt

[snow scarab]

still doesn’t seem right

[digital tiger]

Bouncing off I don’t see.

Not having effect. Possible

[marsh flint]

Bone heads

Them animals

[snow scarab]

yeah idk why people would shoot for heads anyways. i’ve seen that picture of what a 75 did to a coyote lol

[marsh flint]

Too much video games etc

Head is quite a bad target

Small and boney

And brain even smaller

And a non killing shot is terrible terrible for them

And now we were talking about goats and such

[digital tiger]

It was a good picture

[plush topaz]

Reservists

But also they're in great shape

[plush topaz]

@snow scarab recommend blue loctite these bad boys

Mine walked out on me.

[snow scarab]

i’ve got a g24

[plush topaz]

A what

[snow scarab]

the wilcox mount

the original

[plush topaz]

Oh. Who has the cadex

Spindrift?

[snow scarab]

maybe idk

[naive maple]

not yet

but soon

i was gonna loctite every screw

the ones on the dovetail adjustment too

i dont trust screws like that

[naive maple]

when hunting seals in the water it's the only part of the animal that is surfaced

[echo jay]

bro is

👀

[plush topaz]

Water dog

[naive maple]

yeah theyre kinda adorable but

tasty too

like bunny rabbits

[ashen edge]

What round did they use?

[naive maple]

good question, no idea

probably a 6.5x55

just by statistical likelihood

[ashen edge]

That scope is also comically large so some 6.5 sounds about right

[plush topaz]

It's large because it has a sunshade

[ashen edge]

Ah, forgot thoes existed

[umbral lily]

is that a dead seal?

[umbral lily]

just realised it's not

[naive maple]

[plush topaz]

It's a happy sea dog

[umbral lily]

yea

[empty sorrel]

It's got a long action though, so probably some niche Magnum caliber

[ashen edge]

Didn’t notice that, either they where very far away or that was some real overkill

Cos that round hit that seal hard as fuck

[snow scarab]

good thing we weren’t talking about seals? we are talking about fuckin land animals

[snow scarab]

maybe it was tabris

[naive maple]

we were talking about hunting and i thought it was interesting, no idea why you're flying off the handle over it

[snow scarab]

you just piss me off for some reason. like a stuck up child in an arcade

[ashen edge]

Mom and dad are fighting

The plate position on the 6b23-1 is dumb as fuck

Need a real vest

[empty sorrel]

Just go get an LBT

[naive maple]

[storm peak]

that would be i who has the cadex

i am a cadex shill

[muted lynx]

@plush topaz

[glossy pebble]

they make their shit in china

and lied about it and got sued

[empty sorrel]

Peru

They swapped some of their LBT and LBX

[marsh flint]

no wonder you brutals invented seal clubbing in Greenland

[marsh flint]

sick

never eaten

[marsh flint]

this also from Gaza strip?

[low zodiac]

those are 4runners

current gen 4runners

naw

[muted lynx]

Ones a 99 lexus. Their land cruiser basically

Neat truck

[low zodiac]

They’d love to get their hands on a new 4runner I’m sure

Or the almighty

[muted lynx]

[low zodiac]

My beloved machine

I need new tires on it so bad

And a lift

If I had those two things it’d be such a menace

[plush topaz]

Beautiful

[plush topaz]

Tighten those screws son

[harsh crown]

Oh we can post hunting pics here? 👀👀👀

[harsh crown]

Can you export one of those hamas built ghoul rifles i want one

[plush topaz]

Which

The sayad?

[harsh crown]

Based on the steyr HS-50 but chambered in 14.5x114

[bold holly]

i'm new here

[plush topaz]

Welcome

[flint aspen]

What 1 million roubles look like lolll

[urban patrol]

wrong chat?

[naive maple]

no kids all think irl versions of junk in tarkov belongs in here

[odd needle]

Is this considered gear lol

[snow scarab]

only if you strap explosives to it

[odd needle]

Ive strapped my phone to it before. wonder if i Facetime it could be a pretty good macgyver recon drone lol

[shut escarp]

strap a granade to it and its a weapon

[muted gate]

yes

unironically happened

[flint aspen]

sorry my bad

[digital tiger]

Cameras as well.

[thick jasper]

What they doing

[plush topaz]

Final brief before raid

[thick jasper]

Woah is that your photo? U fighting a war irl rn and posting in a tarkov discord??

[plush topaz]

Yes

[thick jasper]

Genuinely curious and concerned

Oh wow

[plush topaz]

Operation iron swords. Hamas-Israel war

[thick jasper]

Btw i scrolled up and I saw a discussion bout Chinese manufactured helmets. I was wondering what kind of helmet would be both very protective and affordable

[plush topaz]

https://protectiongroupdenmark.com/shop/5-ballistic-helmet/13-pgd-arch-helmet--ballistic-helmet/

This is one of my Helmets

[thick jasper]

Cool thanks 👍
Why high cut tho I have one too

But I feel like it takes away a few inches of protection for what seems like superficial reasons

[plush topaz]

For helmet mounted ear pro

[thick jasper]

What about the one this guy got? I saw agilite has a cover for it

[tawny bane]

I got it couple days ago

[thick jasper]

Oh. Doesn't work well with mid cuts?

[tawny bane]

Nice light helmet

[thick jasper]

Is it airsoft or can it stop damage

[tawny bane]

I need mount for headphones mount and cover for it

[tawny bane]

Ballistic

[plush topaz]

Can't mount ear pro

Only under

[tawny bane]

I can mount ears on it and under it

[thick jasper]

Realistically does it make any difference

[plush topaz]

Ear pro?

[tawny bane]

I think i cant use this type of mount

Other i can

I have howards legit

I dont want cut the msa for helmet

[thick jasper]

Mmm yea

[plush topaz]

Very important

Being able to protect Your hearing while communicating

[thick jasper]

What about the under the helmet ones

Less accessible?

Hmm... Maybe I'm being too inquisitive.
what I'm asking about are the advantages of having the earpro and not the normal headset

[thick jasper]

Could I see the other one??

[tawny bane]

This type

[plush topaz]

Doable. But can be less comfortable. And you also can't remove them without removing your helmet

[plush topaz]

What's a normal headset?

[thick jasper]

like with a headband

[plush topaz]

Like I said. It'll go under your helmet

And can be uncomfortable

[thick jasper]

👍 ohh okay thanks for the advice!!

[snow scarab]

not superficial. along with weight savings it also increases ability to use headsets which is a plus and those can also help with balancing the helmet.

[timber fog]

Don’t really need it unless you’re worried about artillery

My hot take here is that headband under > mounted

But that’s more up to user preference tbh

[runic dagger]

What do you guys recommend for comms? I have Howard leights and Yaesu radios, feel like I need an electrical apprenticeship to wire up my own PTT and mic

[safe heath]

meanwhile this can stop pistol rounds but your nose will cave in and kill you 💀

[thick jasper]

Thanks. You too @snow scarab .

[grand mountain]

other way around

low cuts take earpro space for superficial reasons kek

[thick jasper]

I'll get mid cut then. Earpros seem expensive idk

[grand mountain]

get a high cut

[plush topaz]

Worth

[plush topaz]

My dbal-a2 is taking a big beating

I've broken almost everything on it lpl

[thick jasper]

Doesn't that take AA. Mine used to...

[cobalt bramble]

That’s concerning

Guess I’ll scratch that off the list of items I want

[naive maple]

[plush topaz]

Is yours real lol

[plush topaz]

Like the buttons and covers. The unit itself works great

[thick jasper]

not the same thing but the same concept

yeah I dont have the real thing

[plush topaz]

[plush topaz]

Yeah I was like this person was asking about ear pro yet has a $2000 full power laser

[thick jasper]

didnt even know it was 2k

[naive maple]

@plush topaz

[plush topaz]

My ninja

[naive maple]

now i just need to wait an age and a half for the j-arm

[plush topaz]

So ya the Philips screws on the back of the plate

Mine walked. Need to loctite once you adjust to your desired height

[naive maple]

i loctite everything

[fluid plover]

Loctite the doors to your home

Forever basement

[marsh flint]

Lol

[marsh flint]

And you call me a boomer

[naive maple]

[marsh flint]

Anyway

It's a good practice

[plush topaz]

I put loctite on my teeth so they don't fall out

[marsh flint]

Ah

Old Man's Lifehacks

[small pine]

I clean them with WD40

Just in case they get rusty

[tawny bane]

Just a order nitecore NU06MI who use it, good or not

ir flashlight for helmet

[tawny bane]

https://flashlight.nitecore.com/product/nu06mi

[wraith river]

depending which one it cant even stop 9mm

[plush topaz]

You mean IFF strobe?

[tawny bane]

Maybe

[naive maple]

hmmm

very interdasting

[plush topaz]

Ya looks decent

[marsh flint]

Your mom looks decent

[compact dagger]

@coarse laurel hey, wanted to ask you as a medic, have you ever encountered ratcheting turniquets ? If so, what you'd say about them

[coarse laurel]

They are around but they are uncommon, the main issues with ratcheting TQ’s is it works too well

Causes more damages

[compact dagger]

ah

Just wanted to get your opinion on them

Since I met Ukrainian guy when I was at rehab, got to talk with him, and besides all the life tips he gave us on how to survive/do XYZ he also told us how he got injured

And he was praising that type of TQs

I guess quite a bit of bias ofc since, well, he survived thanks to that

[marsh flint]

based being a nato soldier and in rehab

[compact dagger]

hey, its medical rehab not drugs

mkay

[marsh flint]

oh

I thought booze

[compact dagger]

Nah, they send everyone who comes from deployments there

if the person wants it ofc

but yea, got to meet UA guy, from the funny hated unit, guy was nice af

Kinda sad that i won't meet him again, but then again, if i'd get his phone number to message him on whatsapp then one day i'd probably not get any answer and it'd fuck me up a bit

[plush topaz]

Never seen one. Are they similar to cargo ratchets

[coarse laurel]

Kinda

Same concept

[thick jasper]

The more you crank the tighter it gets

[plush topaz]

Lol. Thanks

[thick jasper]

I use the ratchets too. Derusting is a pain... I wonder if there's a protective coating to use after using wire brushes

[weak nest]

need to link to main for context, disregard

[warm idol]

yeah but look how cool this is

[onyx skiff]

does this look right? i cant seem to find any good irl pics of the front and back of the rig/vest and its based off the tarkov cpc goons edition (these are not the plates)

[naive maple]

no, rear plate would be the same

at least not larger

[grand mountain]

Also those shapes are

not good

[naive maple]

@plush topaz

[onyx skiff]

is it ok now?

[onyx skiff]

what do you mean?

[thick jasper]

If the plates knock into your body when you run, does that mean the carrier needs to be tighter?

Or is it just normal for it to feel like I'm getting punched by a kid everytime I take a step

[shut escarp]

that is defo not normal.

[shut escarp]

not sure if me and Amit are thinking the same thing but i'd say the size of them and hight doesn't really make sense. (pic for context) i'd say it would need to be a bit smaller and bit further down

[plush topaz]

Yesssss

My helmet didn't come with those tabs that your counter weight is attached to

[thick jasper]

Did you literally just take a selfie while on patrol during a war

[shut escarp]

nah he reposted it xD

[thick jasper]

Oh

[onyx skiff]

that one geoguesser dude

[thick jasper]

That would be crazy. Bro in a life and death and he trying to go viral with tacticool drip

[onyx skiff]

i took per base the cpc rig from the game. what should i lower exactly and by how much

[thick jasper]

Isn't it from Agilite

[naive maple]

i dont even know wtf those tabs are for

but they were useful for that

i dont think they are for that

the counterweight is designed for team wendy helmets

[thick jasper]

Oh my bad

[naive maple]

counterweight is team wendy, helmet is pgd arch

[obsidian wolf]

Toob

[grand mountain]

That too

I was referring to the curves which are just off

Could be a symptom of the low poly modeling but they aren't shaped like real multicurves at all

[naive maple]

totally tubular

[snow scarab]

needs to be tighter. should be tight to your body but not constricting breath
