M855 was specifically developed to be able to pen an ssh-68 at 600 yards

#

Out of a 1/7 twist 20 inch barrel

#

sadly it's only soft armor right nowso I have no hopes
I have to find the weird plates for this somehow if I want them

#

I'm going to die

latent lotus
#

Yeah that wont stop any rifle rounds

#

It will probably stop pistol ammo tho

ancient sandal
latent lotus
#

At least 9mm and .45

#

Allegedly soviet aramid was actually better than the stuff in western flak vests

#

The plates werent too expensive a few years ago

#

I remember looking at ukrainian ebay in like 2023

#

They had the 1.5mm plates for like $8 each

#

And the 4.5mms for like $15 each

#

Obviously you need like 40 plates to fill out a soviet style vest

#

Idk the exact amount since i dont have any soviet vests

#

Which digs into my shoulder on one side because its screwed up

#

Ive shot it a few times actually

#

It stopped some .22s out of a rifle and a .45 black powder round ball like 5 years ago

ancient sandal

#

So its basically perfect

#

I do have a few helmets

#

A few m1 pots, an ssh-60, a canadian brodie, a pasgt, and an ach

#

I havent really collected milsurp in like 3-4 years

#

I mostly just buy guns and ammo these days

I did get a set of VKBO in EMR a couple of months ago

That's the least I can take for guard duty and it doesn't give me backpain, I have a few more pouches and a whole other rig with MOLLE on the back, if I ever need to (I won't) I can take like 14 mags with me

4.5 mm what was it titanium? + some aramid

#

also wasnt there a version with like a 6.5mm steel

potent monolith
# plush topaz You're such a jobnik

I think I'll just eventually get a 5.11 chest rig, I have no real need for a plate carrier, just extra weight and back pain. A chest rig can go over a plate carrier if needed

#

Kind of like they used to put chest rigs over PASGT armor in iraq

#

I can't go to Russia either btw, they have an arrest warrant for my ahh since I didn't enlist in time

#

🤸🏼

potent monolith
#

Yeah, but I'm still technically a citizen. I can't revoke my citizenship because I didn't serve in the army but I can't go to Russia and prove to them that I'm ALREADY serving in a different military and will do so for the foreseeable future since they either won't care or just detain me and send me to bakhmut under wagner inmate brigades

#

It's a lose-lose

#

Also my russian passport is until next year, idk if it's even safe to go and try renewing it at the consulate

#

They kinda form a scale pattern

#

I know there is a thin version and a thicker version

#

And there id also the 6b4 which had one giant thick boron-carbide plate

#

Which made it more similar to more modern plate carriers in that regard

#

But iirc it was the 6b3,6b5, and 6b6 who had the bunch of tiny plates

#

Hell i think the 6b2 may have even had slots for plates though im not sure

#

I know the 6b1 was just like ballistic nylon with no plates at all

#

It was on par with or weaker than american vietnam era flaks

#

Or at least the army ones, the marine ones also had a bunch of little plates though they used some ballistic nylon resin composite bullshit instead of titanium

#

And they had greater coverage

here's what i did the last time i played airsoft with Alice

didn't use it for mags, just put random stuff in there cause i was using an AK, but with an AR, you could have the 6 mags plus as many as you put in your alice belt

if you are looking for something thats still kinda bulky like the otv maybe the IMTV/MTV or the IOTV could be something you would be interested in, however if you are looking for a more modern type plate carrier then the USMC plate carrier line/ IOTV gen 4 would be good options.

Lmfaooooo some of the thing this guy says. The only thing it lacks is a boom mic. I find both my razor and razor XL (the only difference is it has Bluetooth) has the EXACT SAME noise reduction and nearly the exact same sound quality as my comtac 2s. If razors aren’t good enough then comtacs aren’t either

#

The razor walker will even fit in OEM Peltor headbands so you can attach it to helmets

#

Sebby is just a hater, keep using what you can afford king it’s more than good enough

worthy heart
#

For range use they're perfectly fine

main gulch
#

Sounds exact same to comtac 2s

worthy heart
#

But like if you compare them to like sordins and other comtac models they are very lacking

main gulch
#

I’ve used razor xl for field work, perfect for the thing

worthy heart
main gulch
#

I knew you’d say that

worthy heart
#

Work fine for range

main gulch
#

But people use them

worthy heart
#

But they do not hold up

#

Mine I'm losing hearing in

main gulch
#

I’ve held them up, I used them off an on in Mexico

worthy heart
#

Because it doesn't pick up proper noise anymore

#

And the original padding is gone

#

So I had to swap to gels

#

If you are properly using them they are not going to hold up

#

They are range grade hearing protection

#

If somebody is behind me I can't fucking tell where they are

#

Because they don't have good positional sound

main gulch
#

I strongly disagree and I think you’re objectively wrong, again I’ve used all sorts of hearing protection as a small arms weapon advisor and light QRF, the ones I keep going back to is my comtac 2s and my razor XLs over some others

#

They’ve held up more abuse other gear didn’t

There's a lot more work that needs to be put into high cutting a pasgt

pulsar pumice
#

Nah I’m paying a different person to do it

worthy heart
#

Again

#

A lot more work

#

Cause he's gonna have to reline the rim

pulsar pumice
#

That’s why he charges 30 dollars more

worthy heart
#

Cut the old rim off

#

Then that's up to you

#

I cut my own helmet

#

And for something I plan to use

#

Id rather keep the amount of holes and material removal to a minimum

#

Ach is just an easier host with minimal work

pulsar pumice
#

Actually

#

Maybe an ach would be cooler

worthy heart
#

Id recommend a ach

#

Cause the arc rails are there for it

#

You don't have to drill for that

#

Nvg there as well

#

Easier if you wanted a better bracket

#

And relining and cutting the ears off is the only thing really to do

#

And it takes like 15 minutes to cut and a few hours to glue a new liner

pulsar pumice
#

I don’t have any sort of tool to cut it honestly

worthy heart
#

Lots of aftermarket upgrades are there for the helmet

worthy heart
#

I went to ace and bought a 10 dollar coping saw

#

Just to do mine

#

And a like 5 or 10 dollar rubber gasket piece which I got too much of

#

And some heavy duty epoxy and clamps

#

It's pretty cheap to convert

#

Someone's got a really good video on YouTube

#

With a step by step process

pulsar pumice
#

Idk, the problem is my foresight aint the best and I don’t want to cut too much off and make it lopsided

worthy heart
#

Mines for sure a little lopsided

#

But that's legit just the fun of diy stuff

#

Like it's hard to tell mines lop sided

#

But i used the coping saw on purpose just because I can change direction

#

And take my time

#

Thats the point of that saw

#

This is a coping saw

pulsar pumice
#

I see

worthy heart
#

It's legit used a lot for fine work

#

If you buy arc rails before cutting

#

You can use them as a guide to draw your cutting line

#

Which is what I did

#

After I peeled the rim off

pulsar pumice
#

Maybe I will use my elbow grease

worthy heart
#

It's very

#

Easy

pulsar pumice
#

But for the time being im still leaning on relying on ach Kustom

#

Yeah but

#

There’s no excuse for my laziness actually

worthy heart
#

If I can do it anyone else can

#

Probably would have also been easier to use the Dremel

#

Yes Crocs are necessary

grand mountain

#

I FOUND A BETTER WAY

#

TO MAKE A SUPER CHEAP HIGH CUT

#

look up CVC helmets

#

they are vehicle crew helmets that have built in headphones, however, if you want a fairly unique high cut, use a CVC shell and build from there, no cutting necessary.

#

CVC to high cut conversion

#

look it up

#

CVC shells are cheap

at this point jus buy a steel pot if youre gona be this cheap

5 miles should be a minimum

5 miles in plates suckkk

Especially in that southern heat

Yes it does

#

I ran 3 miles in my jpc in 95° heat with shit on it

#

Thankfully it was a jpc

#

That was not fun

#

I would've done more than 3 miles but I was doing 1 mile intervals and having 50 pushups 50 sit-ups 50 squats in between each mile set

I was gassed especially in that heat

Even with a chest rig on me I hate life

I'll occasionally go out with a 50 pound ruck for 5-10 miles

As a medic I personally don’t suggest running a significant distance with that much weight unless it’s needed, it’s just an injury waiting to happen haha

#

However you can last longer increasing your pace

lime abyss
#

Yeah lol I knocked down the weight a bit I was just gauging how much I can do

#

50lbs for 5 miles isn't fun

#

I do 35-40 now

As long as I can move from point A to B with kit I'm fine

As an old grunt I also don’t suggest doing it either. You’ll regret your life later

Only ever saw those weird shoulder guards worn once or twice by non combat support guys. They never left the plastic wrap for us when issued

compact dagger
#

I tend to see more of both dick flaps and shoulder guards from assault units like AZOV in nearby conflict, and the guys I met at post deployment rehab also said that they are really useful in attacking trenches and buildings, mostly because of FPV drones

#

One guy showed his personal video of something exploding near him and the flap actually catching a bunch of shrapnel, so if he wouldnt have had it then he would probably not be speaking to me that day

wooden elm

#

from what I remember it was more just like this

thats why I called it a dickflap

the one you sent was more of a three-piece armor

Ours was just soft Kevlar flap

What I do remember was the sapper guy who told us how to better hide explosives and set up some mines tailored to new guys (that dont know how to behave in war(basically dont know not to touch stuff you didnt put down))

compact dagger
#

well then if you are in a real combat situation i'd recommend a dick flap

#

cant comment on shoulder protection though

#

but some people swear by it

lime abyss

#

Everyone makes fun of him. But he's literally the only smart one

#

The only issue is we roll heavy. So the extra armour is a big hindrance

compact dagger
#

yeah, but really depends on what situation you are in

plush topaz
compact dagger
#

If you are running clearing buildings/trenches i'd rather have more protection but take a bit more rests than run light and die opening first bunker because i didnt have a bit more protection

#

But if you are some AT team with Spikes or TOWs few km away from the fighting then you don't really need those

plush topaz
#

No question

compact dagger
#

For trenches 100%, cant say anything about buildings because havent met anyone IRL who went through that in a real conflict

#

Kinda bad thing to hope for but still, i hope to meet more UA guys when im in post deployment rehab

and nowadays there are a bunch of smaller explosions that will get stopped by stuff like shoulder pads or crotch flap

#

They used all kinds of shit. Command wire, cell phones, ir garage door sensors, pressure plates

#

It was constantly changing based on our deterrent systems

#

Cell phones directly wired to IED was common. When we started running cell jammers that had an effective range of about 50m they woukd place a cellphone detonator about 75m off roadway and run command wire from it the last 75m to explosive

Pretty much. Gunfire could get scary but wasn’t really a concern. You could defend yourself from that. It was the IEDs and plates were useless against that
