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
Id be surprised
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
honestly they're more comfortable
I gotta find these again
The only armor i have is a PASGT flak
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
I've worn one but I have a IBA, PC2, and an A-18 right now with armor
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
I've been on snd off but lately it's been a ton of influx
Delete this.
Why...
Well, pretty sure I have my name somewhere in my discord profile, if someone wants to find me they will
Try not to make it so easy
They won't let me into Europe anyway, I'm Israeli AND Russian, that's like double trouble gum

Alrighty, what's your thoughts btw?
Looks good. What's with all the stick lights
5 magazines l?
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
+1
I got a shit ton of them from an abandoned warehouse and didn't know where to put them. And my kambats told me to use as much as I want to but they all need to be accessible with one hand
That's the bootleg I came up with
Mostly for show and cracking one in the middle of the night when I need to roll a cig
i mean
4.5 mm what was it titanium? + some aramid
also wasnt there a version with like a 6.5mm steel
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
target number 1 to nazis lol
I can't go to Russia either btw, they have an arrest warrant for my ahh since I didn't enlist in time
🤸🏼
lmao what
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
lol
atleast israel thing is blood citizenship right
Yeah I have full citizenship, not a visa or something
nice
The russian bureaucracts can kiss my shiny M16
Guess we're going to Borjomi and not Essentuki for the holidays 🤷🏼♂️
what are both of those places
Healing resorts, one in Georgia and the other is on Russ
You've never drank Borjomi water?
no
Your loss 💁🏼
meh
Yeah, its been a white so i cant remember the exact thickness or anything but yeah those soviet vests have aramid all around and then little pockets for a bunch of tiny titanium plates to go in
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
Ye IT Has little plates
thinking about beginning to piece some kit together
how do we feel about this LBE?
does anyone here have a ferro cec cummerbund?
No but It's identical to the lv119 elastic cummerbund. Good for light low profile stuff
i was just wondering if it was hook and loop on both sides on the rear
im pretty sure it is
Yep. Both sides.
Better off buying an old British LBE for 60$ and modding it to your liking. You'd save 500$+ dollars
sweet, thanks man
Yep. Both sides.
trvth nvke
that or alice
it's pretty aesthetically pleasing too imo
Yes I agree
You can also (if you want) run soft armor or a micro plate carrier underneath and you have protection
i dont like the look of micro plate carriers
Tbh same, id rather run soft armor underneath and have my rig go over
Kinda like those old delta force guys would do
it's cooler imo
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
Sweet
Dude I need some Russian camo suits
They're so cool I just can't find any in my size because I'm a tall mf
I can fit 8-12 mags in my lbe comfortably
Technically I could stash probably 2-3 more in my rear pictures to make it 15 but man that's a lot
yea with the setup i had max would be 15 AR mags
i got three mag pouches on my alice belt but one of em i use for like GP stuff
you gotta look in some real weird places for good prices
Nice
Makes sense honestly
you get the idea
I don't know many uzbekis who are 6'3 tho
you gotta use google translate
I could just go to kommando store and buy one of those gorka suits
Those r pretty neat
fuck that
I rlly want an SS leto partisan suit
it's overpriced and i believe they make those in pakistan and they glow under night vision if you care about that
i don't but it's a sign that they didn't really care when making them
lmao i got one from my neighbor for 60 bucks
Lucky mf
yeah dude
I live in America so it's impossible to find anything
wanna know where i got my sumrak suit
Russian
a guy in my city, sold it to me for 40 bucks
Lmao
i live in Finland btw
i live in the west so it's not like the guys here just used to take trips to russia to fill their car's fuel tanks
in the east, maybe i could see someone buying a gorka as a souvenir
plus these days the border is closed iirc
check out european airsoft second hand websites
I had luck with those actually
and maybe american if you haven't already
it's really easy for me cause i am small enough to fit into a BMP-1 comfortably
so like the ideal male size in soviet standards
or a twink in western standards
i never even take size into consideration
is that ttsko
oh realy
yup
I think I’m ready to take out killa
you look like sneako if he was a republican
Lmaoooooo
bro has the scav build too
Hunger and desperation
He looks like he smells is what you meant i think
Dude I haven't been able to get into any tanks I want to go to a museum but I can barely fit into an F-14 and F-15 cockpit let alone a mig cockpit
When ur teammate told you that they're doing the load out
That actually looks so good lmao
I love crackers and I presume that's tushonka?
Or some sort of meat pate
they are the driest most tasteless crackers on the planet
Can't be any worse than the MRE crackers
i thought the crackers said armenia
i ate polish mre crackers
theyre uh.....
preety hard but good
Interesting
The american ones just stick to your mouth and takes forever to chew and eat
lol
ones here are realy fucking hard
youll probably break ur teeth if u try to eat the mwith the front
i just cracked them with the side ones
why do you look like a rep 0.3 scav that found a dead chad
real
its like he found dead tagila wioth the saiga left
Maybe lay off the 50-beer diet
I kid I kid
Lmao im in pretty good shape I'm just a tall guy my legs take up all the space 😂
But man I can't lay off the beers either
Story of my life
Lmao
😶🌫️
does anyone know if we can attach Headset attachment on MICH 2002 just like FAST or 2001
yes you can, not my picture
looks mid cut though, not sure about low
IT's so cool as f thanks
Helmet posting
This post was not killa approved^^
No
generally no. low cut, plus the arc rails don't extend down the side
so you'd probably need replacement rails in most cases
other guy send me this in other server
i love this
you'd probably wanna read the original post. it's about what you'd expect, certain ear pro do not fit. https://www.reddit.com/r/airsoft/comments/y47kq2/mich_series_pt3_michtc_2002_mid_cut_modernization/
don't care
well, if you are only looking for people that agree, then i think you've already found everything you'll need, lol
He sent you that here lol
wdym?
wdym there is a picture of mich and headset
i'm just getting same thing thats it
yes, have fun
japanese airsofters are a different breed
''adhd dickhead'' yea sounds aout right
the helmet is a few sizes too big
airsoft is a channel down
hi bri
i'm not adhd i'm Ricest
yeah 🙁
cheeseburger
hi hi
Made me spit my monster drink out
😂
What's funny to me is that he has Ukraine patch on his kit and killa is Russian

The virgin hostomel larper vs Chad beslan siege operator larp
Why is the right delusional.
I’ve at least personally have found a larger section than usual of modern rusfor larpers to be comically out of touch even by “normal” rusfor standards
a higher percentage of edgelords and thoes kids that find the most extreme viewpoint they can find and then parrot its talking points without ever thinking about it
It’s just a perfect jumping point for bait and arguments, with a treasure trove of controversial iconography and moral patches to plaster on every inch of Velcro
@ashen edge and here I thought you meant his uniform was inaccurate or something 
If the goal was to put as many pouches as possible you are the winner
Idk,but that’s also a thing “guys it’s all real” and it’s all Ali express kit and Maybe 2 peices of corpse kit
rusfor out here looking like stalkers
if it was realistic youd get a 6b23 lifted off a dead corpse with no plates cuz they were ''somehow lost in battle''
ofc in flora camo
That’s just any russian recon unit before 2010 lol
i mean maybe
yeah after 2010 they dont get a rig
Five nade's, two 40s but only 3 mags?
Okay TBF that is accurate to real life then.
I think it’s 3 double mags stacked on top of 3 single open tops
2 small arm mag 2 nade, triple mag stacked with 3 mag pouches
it’s never that many items and specific items are rarely ever fake or replicas and it’s usually accompanied with the claim it’s all real when people can see plain as day it’s not
omg just like the conscripts in uki
?
its a joke on the many ali express gear sets seen there
Meal team 6
Oh yah, when I used Ali in 2022 there where so many reviews clearly from either Russian or Ukrainian service members for plates and helmets and pouches/covers
its just called "Plate Carrier" on the label, but if you want to find one online look up "USMC Plate Carrier Gen 2"
that would be mine
bet thank you
similar ones would be the USMC Scalable Plate carrier and the USMC Plate Carrier Gen 3.
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.

Extra funny cos that might well be some dumb shit that would pass for a section of intelligent conversation around the time depicted
deadchat
i mean werent lower class japanese fed brown rice
so brown rice is easier to make since it takes out a step
yea so cheaper
yh
That is how food hierarchy works
In the case of civil unrest and when emergency services are down. Would it be more wise to wear a ballistic helmet or save a few hundred and get a normal bump
Js wondering cus you can never be too prepared
Btw it is for having nods on there
Too
this mine
Is it ballistic or nah tho
yes it is an ACH
Mb that was kind of a stupid question
Where’d you get the add on
The front attachment thing
Forgot the name of it
it is a issued US army helmet, got it from the guy who it was issued too. So the base plate is a standard us gov issue. probably rhino
You’re allowed to keep them?
i dont know much about the buy back system but for some reason he was able to keep it since he bought it from them
i have a bunch of other us gov issue stuff too
mainly army, very little usmc
Might be worth all the health problems
What else were you able to obtain
Other helmets, MOLLE pouches, IOTV's, USMC plate carrier, SAPI/ESAPI ballistic ceramic plates, and a few other smaller things
i sell them on ebay lol
What gen
Store name?
IOTV gen 2, USMC plate carrier gen 2
theauctionstores
Can’t find it
bruh what
Deadass can’t find it
/usr/theauctionstores just paste this after the regular ebay website
No but there are thousands of them commercially available
Genuinely don’t know why I can’t find your store
ill just dm you the link
it is very bulky
Maybe I’ll just stick to my plate carriers then
idk weighs less, the previous iotvs also had side plates lol
LWH?
no its an ACH, but i do also have a LWH
nice
are you fan of USMC gear
i am, i have a USMC plate carrier set up
nice
Ngl, might get a high cut cus I want comms
.
it is good indeed
A high cut ach?
it's 50 USD
get PASGT and convert to a high cut
ez cheap ballistic nij 3a high cut
Hmmm
heavier than original
I don’t got power tools though
you can search online for people who sell them post converted
Nvm then
I don’t want my head to be soup
you getting it for ukraine or something
Idk, I think the ach high cut is cooler
Too far away of a continent for me, I want it because I live near Appalachia
then whats for
at least this has 9mm protection
Fiber glass?
glass fiber
bro its taking hour to send image why
wtf
there's something wrong with my discord.
well, you can get an ACH high cut, but it gunna be a lot more expensive for something that looks very similar
So there’s no difference at all?
If so I’ll just buy a cheap used one and get someone to cut it for me
well there is going to be differences, however ballistic protection and the general look will be very similar
usually you can buy them stright from people who already have the helmet
There’s this guy with his service though
however if you want to do it VERY cheaply, borrow a cutting power tool or just get a saw and look up the several youtube videos on how to do it
yeah theres services where people will use your helmet, but that will have a longer turn around time, but if thats ok with you go ahead
yus
Gotta find the right color now
power tool + electrical tape + PASGT Helmet + whatever tactical addons you can get for super cheap = ez ballistic high cut helmet for cheap
UN blue please
bbruh
I mean you can fit comtacs under a normal pasgt or ach right?
yeah, helmet shaped ones can
Wdym helmet shaped
well, theres 2 kinds from what ive seen, theres regular, and helmet shaped
idk the exact names for them
Mb
ill show you pictures
I thought you meant helmet shaped helmets
its like when the headphone is thin enough to fit under the ear protection part of the helmet
I see now
Yes. Taken in ‘09
Modified them by removing the headband and affixing them inside with heavy duty Velcro
PASGT or ACH? couldn't get comtacs under my PASGT
MICH. We didn’t have any type of full coverage comms when I was in PASGT
yeah that makes sense
We had some pretty simple single ear mics and stuff during PASGT but we didn’t start getting better stuff til comms became more advanced as well.
The older single ear stuff was mainly ICOM type stuff. When we started getting MBITR comms the equipment came along with it
you think a bowman-type would fit under one?
No clue what that is lol
one o those
I would imagine it would but that thing looks horrible to wear lol
The PASGT alone as horrible. 10x worse with NODs. Adding that to the mix would make it unbearable lol
honetsly if you want a cheap ass thing that may save u from shrapnel get a steel pot fr (idk if good idea)
i mean i guess theres the russian headphones that are like that but a bit better
but they are rssian so
british special
i might buy some dogshit digital nvg
for like 20 dollars
for fun
It fits under a MICH but it’s kinda uncomfortable on your ear
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
The problem with the razors is they completely lack proper positional sound
For range use they're perfectly fine
Sounds exact same to comtac 2s
But like if you compare them to like sordins and other comtac models they are very lacking
I’ve used razor xl for field work, perfect for the thing
And comtac 2s are heavily dated
I knew you’d say that
Work fine for range
But people use them
I’ve held them up, I used them off an on in Mexico
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
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
Bro mine don't pick up audio that loud anymore
Half of the time I have to remove them just to hear what people are saying
Sounds like a dud or skill issue
They aren't that good
I've had them for a while. The sound quality drops over time
I’ve had mine for 14 years
The only problem was the battery cap got lost in the desert, I found a replacement
Yeah and you know what mine are a few years old
They aren't that good
For range it's fine
Lmfao
For professional use no
Hello, I am professional, using them professionally
That's why sordins and comtac vs exist
With the name war hippy probably not
The only professional use you are getting out of razors is construction and lawn care
Lmfaooo
Okay if im Mr beaner lawn care guy, what do you do Mr professional tier zero larporator?
Getting a little aggressive now must of hurt your feelings I guess
Nope I have nothing to prove, and I know you’re rage bating like you always do
It's not even rage baiting
As I was trying to tell a few people
Lmfao
This conversation was about field work with razors, this conversation is over due to it not being about gear
Because they are range grade hearing protection
You got nothing else?
You seem to not cause you are resulting to slurs
Not a rage baiter but I'm just honest
Mr larper magee
Provided nothing to actually defend his point
What profession?
Really all im at liberty to say is small arms weapon advisor for one gig but my side gig is gunsmith. I specialize in making high end AKs when im back home
High end is doubtful
To be honest that answer seems like the same ambiguous crap that one kid WarDaddy or whatever his name was trying to sell with all his “professional experience” and giving me all these life lessons on combat and war….peace time one contract tanker 🤦♂️
Tbh idc what you think I was just trying to prove that razors are good enough
I know LMAO
I was thinking that too
For the range
That's it
As soon as you say I’m not at liberty to tell on discord you’re full of it…in my professional opinion lol
Okay oh well, I do not care what anyone thinks again this is just a debate over gear
Anytime somebody says something that you don't like you get bitchy and you say the same stuff
Literally the last time you did this was over a 300 blackout AK and how people said it was stupid
And has already been done and they are unreliable
That’s mostly why I hate coming in here is this kind of thinking, I like to look in here to see what people are up to and what kinda kit people are building. I honestly do not get these toxic styles of internet debates and I do not care to usually engage in them
This wasn't even toxic
You were the one that got angry because my statement and my experience
Is different
This is too funny
All I said was keep at it king about that dudes razors and explaining it’s good enough
NGL this feels like arguing with that kid
That said your my dad
Ya same exact responses when he was called on his BS lol
Then if you don't leave you don't have to keep pitching in and getting bitchy
You have stated multiple times that you are done
Like I like the razors. I don't think they're bad but like they aren't professional grade
If I compare them with my experience with sordins or even contact vs
Sordins and comtacs our leagues better
With way better positional sound
Because if there's somebody behind me I cannot hear anything they say anymore
Nor can I tell what direction
The walkers are just not made for that
Is this you dressed like a tactical witch with a 75% miss rate that is a firearms advisor under National Security NDA?

Definitely a tactical instructor that’s not at liberty to say what he actually instructs on 🤦♂️
Also, now that I'm looking at these, I didn't know high-end AKs mean pre-built

found an HL1 for 30 bucks, worth it?
light itself is in great condition, only defect is that the baseplate is missing the mounting hinge (already found a replacement)
lol when did this happen
Few weeks back in weapons I think. He was telling me how combat works and giving me life lessons on it then kept implying he had all this real world knowledge he was sharing. Turns out 1 contract post GWOT tanker that works in a gun shop is the end all be all with combat wisdom
I’m guessing he’s guard too huh
lol
I don’t know. He kinda fell off the map after he shared all his real world experience

I don’t want to sound stupid
But an L-2 pasgt can be converted into a high cut like any other pasgt right?
I do not recommend high cutting a pasgt
What why
There's a lot more work that needs to be put into high cutting a pasgt
Nah I’m paying a different person to do it
That’s why he charges 30 dollars more
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
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
I don’t have any sort of tool to cut it honestly
Lots of aftermarket upgrades are there for the helmet
Dude
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
Idk, the problem is my foresight aint the best and I don’t want to cut too much off and make it lopsided
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
I see
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
Maybe I will use my elbow grease
But for the time being im still leaning on relying on ach Kustom
Yeah but
There’s no excuse for my laziness actually
If I can do it anyone else can
Probably would have also been easier to use the Dremel
Yes Crocs are necessary
yo bro you want some helmet for those crocs?
YO
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
only that the CVC isn't a desperately outdated piece of crap
And none of the common ones people cut aren’t? people are using pasgt helmets and shit
yeah but PASGTs can modified to take modern 4-point suspension systems, whereas steel pots can't
-# sincerely, a PASGT user
Oooh, I thought you meant the CVC was outdated, my bad
Amazing helmet to upgrade
@old portal
Wearing and carrying all that shit for fun is mind blowing to me lol

They ain't carrying shit tbh
are you wearing a plate carrier or is that your belly
platecarrier with no plates?
is that real equipment? isnt it heavy af to carry that all?
it fits as much as having knockoff lego characters on normal lego
Probably doesn't have the plates in it, but yeah not light
Listen they're just small guys
They can't help it
mm
you know the wz.67
why buy modern helmet if steel pot is good
@old portal
Fake mortar and incoming siren 😂😂😂😂
where is that at
Japan
getting that animese pussy
Your final challenge... Run 2 miles in your kit
Only 2?
Let's be honest here.. I'm being very generous
5 miles should be a minimum
To run your kit
Now we’re talking lol
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
Had to do the same in Benning with an AVS on a tank trail, it sucked because the terrain was uneven and it was running from lane to lane doing shit like assembling and reassembling certain weapon systems and radio stuff
Lmao that sounds awful
I live in Georgia and my area is hella hilly
Nothing but hills
Which part?
Near dahlonega huh
Yuh
I helped out our 5th BN up at Camp Merrill up there, I hated my life
My calves were working overtime because of the incline everytime I’m stopped
Yeah its either hills or smaller hills no flat land at all
And that’s with a ruck or a 45lb mystery ranch aid bag and a chest rig on me
Yikes
Even with a chest rig on me I hate life
Let alone a ruck
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
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
The VA percentage speaks for itself hahaha
Oddly enough my back wasn’t a documented issue or complaint for my disability. It hurts now years later but not documented for the army. My knees on the other hand….
I’m awaiting back surgery right now, already had surgery on my hand
I’m stuck with this recruiter gig for 3-4 years hopefully I’m healed by then
I have to buy the police trade in MBAV strandhoggs
Plus how useful even is a crotch plate
Unless you are worried about IED’s it’s kinda just extra weight
Same for pauldrons?
Yes
Only time I’d see that get up is if they are a gunner on a humvee or something
I only ran my crotch flap when working in certain areas. They liked to roll frags into alleys on us under courtyard gates. Really only good for shrapnel. Pointless otherwise
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
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

Like this?
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

Why UCP camo so useless but also looking so cool
More of what Ragged showed, but realistically if it has Kevlar it doesnt matter what shape it is, if it protects your vitals
Plus that thing was almost more than a year ago, so memory is foggy

They also have this, if you are talking about "classic" type
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))
I don’t want metal in my pp
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
I have the M81 version on my plate carrier
My sniper wears shoulder crotch and buttox pads
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
yeah, but really depends on what situation you are in
Absolutely. I personally don't think it's necessary for our roles.
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
Essential for this role
No question
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
A lot of shit flies around inside houses when the guns and grenades go off
bad because if they are there then they have been wounded
Nah I was more for mobility. Only occasionally used the crotch flap.
Yes but the threat of drones weren't as prevalent then
Weird
and nowadays there are a bunch of smaller explosions that will get stopped by stuff like shoulder pads or crotch flap
Ya drones would be scary asf. The ied threat was already scary asf. Don’t add sky IEDs
Did they use remote cameras to trigger IEDs back then
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
the cag light
We rocked the hell out of those lights
CR123As being 8 bucks a pop is fucking crazy though
were those made with both IR and blue as secondary modes for the main light? mine has IR but I've seen some online that got a blue-ish light
Where you buying them for that price. I typically get a 12 pack for $20
europe
varta ones
Ours had IR, white and red
got it
SLs, PL and PSG ran the IR flash at night for id purposes
might be variant-based
Meanwhile I just take em from the range box hahaha
forbiden nokia
Dude batteries was like the holy grail item to get overseas. I guess because we went thru so many of them. Fresh batteries in everything every day/night before we went out. Then of course we burned all the old ones lol
Fuckin GWOT
From fucking where, it’s $10 for 2 here
My local Home Depot sells surefire boxes of 12 for 20
Damn going to have to ask about that after I get off
I haven’t bought any in awhile. I have a stock pile of 12ct boxes lol
Yeah a 12ct would def last me a long while lol
I used to go thru a lot as a cop. Not anymore lol
Buy bulk
mayb
need one lol
On their own they're stupid expensive
I got mine for 30 bucks, only issue its got is that its missing the metal thing on the mount
will use velcro as a temporary fix until I find a decently priced spare mount
why yes varustreleka, im very interested in a TWENTY FIVE (25) USD clothing hanger
the “hello Biden this ____ i need 8 million dollars …”meme but with Ian asking for money for varustreleka products
Good company
Though I feel like some of their holsters are a little too big for concealed carry
Some also are slightly universal
I've concealed carried with one of their holsters for a little bit and I wasn't a big fan because it made me look like I had a tumor growing out of my waist

Is their beltless belt made for fatties or what
The enigma Is essentially designed to work as a holster for women and men who don't want to wear belts and wear like summer shorts or yoga pants
Clothing you can't wear a belt with
And it works pretty well
For me I didn't use the enigma when I got to try one out
But the hoologen actually has one
Ya seems practical
I'd say so. I've thought about snagging one myself
Is it just or me or has the amount of police trades in this year feel minimal
i know a few people who run them and swear by them
hunter constantine belt is a similar idea
None of the PD around me have gotten new stuff in a couple years and they are pretty well funded might be something similar for you
lmfao jockstrap holster is insane
I've never used one personally but have heard pretty good things about them

enigma is goated
The lion appendix carries a sig p320 with no regard for his balls

maybe a lil tape shrug* not a doctor
Yeah. I have it in my pouch
Gonna make some heavy wooden stands for them and cut the pvc but this is a good start
you, my good sir, have achieved in life what I want so dearly.
You will get there just keep working at it

Flannel bros 🤝
Now let's check the materials. If youre flannel is polyester you're getting banned.

anyways
found a tan crye G3 combat shirt (small - regular) for 50 bucks, steal?
and y'all think that I might be able to resell it for more?
managed to haggle the price down to 40
What the Timmy last sees before getting 8 rounds of 8.5 magnum dumped into his chest (I'm in Financial debt)
what helmet is that
Ssh68
ok
Remington with a pilad
smash
would
Bro how are they flat did an abrams run em over?
Just snagged these
Current issue plates
they look underfed
they look like their personality revolves around tarot readings and starbucks
Honestly I like that cut. They look way better. I wore small ESAPI at 6’ 170 just to cut size and weight for comfort
If they would have let me use side plates for front/back I would have just to cut more weight lol
Bro is like that one scene from black hawk down.
" I don't plan on getting shot in the back." or something, right?
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
I can almost fit these into side plate pockets lol
They are pretty much the same size but taller
Where’d you get the balaclava?

Oh sweet

Yeah marketing people...
wtf you yapping about
Better then multishit
I have 3 helmets, airframe, lzsh high cut and a Chinese bump
Also have a 6b47 but that’s like wearing a garage can on my head
I don't have a helmet I just rock a boonie or a cap
M81 is fire
Reccemaxxing
Ikr
I don’t have any but it’s a very tasteful camo
I had a custom order voin set if it in g3 cut but sold it
Either that or flektarn
Wish I didn’t
Im broke I can't afford crye
I have fleck, tropen and multi
I sold my jpc and spent it on a beez combat systems chest rig
Crye is very overrated
Works better for my environment anyway
Only thing I have that I think is very worth for crye is my maritime jpc
I have a itpc in IX and a ars arma pre war a17
And the crye maritime
Very tempted to spend 300$ on an authentic 6b45 with plates at my surplus store
Dude doesn't know what he has
My uncle is ksk and he “lost” his set and gave it to me as a Christmas present
That’s decently worth with plates
I'm looking to do airborne and possibly sof once I finish highschool
Just another year 🙏
He’s in Africa rn
Sweet
