[coarse laurel]

so i ended up ordering AMP arms and the little plastic adapters for peltors

had them delivered to my wife back home since my dumbass is still in korea

[slim flint]

Where are you in Korea

[coarse laurel]

this one

im humprheys

[slim flint]

🤬

[coarse laurel]

i was stationed in casey last year tho

then pcs'd then got told hey back to korea you go for a rotation

[slim flint]

I have since added a GRG pouch to help with munition display and 9lines

[coarse laurel]

i like the little cheat sheet you got

i have one too for meds, 9 line and my map

memorizing drug doses is troublesome so i just wrote how much ketamine i should give

hahahahahah

[slim flint]

It's really convenient

All other pouches are too big

And atacrs aren't necessary when I have a JCR

[coarse laurel]

upper torso part i have a juggernaut phone case

[slim flint]

Which is the larger version

[coarse laurel]

which is handy AF for me

[slim flint]

Normally I put my phone in my bag

[coarse laurel]

i use mine when im TC'ing a 113 since i dont wanna go back down the hatch to look at the JCR

or when im out dismounted

[slim flint]

113s are big gay vehicles

[coarse laurel]

they are

i dont wanna see a tracked vehicle ever again

[slim flint]

too bad you're going to an even gayer vehicle soon

[coarse laurel]

An FLA?

I’d prefer that

Easier to fix

[slim flint]

FLAs are big straight energy

[coarse laurel]

Funny enough we got these babies now

Lol FLA’s are awesome because there’s 4 beds and a heater

Fuckin people be begging me to let them sleep on it

[slim flint]

shit I would too mofo

let them in you little shit

[coarse laurel]

Hahahah

[slim flint]

based medic

[coarse laurel]

I’m in love with my new mystery ranch aid bag

My wife got it for me as a present

[heavy basalt]

lol nice

[low fox]

alot of our medics dont like the RATS

[low fox]

those would be nicer if i wouldnt literally suffer hearing damage for not wearing vehicle intercoms just to go to the range

[coarse laurel]

@low fox any reason why? Also what branch

[low fox]

army

uhhh im not really sure

they're just oldheads i guess

a big thing that people are doing now is making CLS belts

[coarse laurel]

The point of the bag is it’s for 3-5 day ops and the bag could be turned into a trauma panel and hung

It’s also jumpable in some versions

As for belts I don’t like having my medical shit on my belt but what I do have is my little crotch pouch on my plate carrier with MARCH/HABC shit

So that way I don’t have to open up my bag UNLESS this dude is heavily fucked and he needs immediate fluid resuscitation and blood and a fuckton of meds Asap

I also love being able to put my personal shit and my medical shit in one frame instead of carrying 2 separate packs

[low fox]

just some food for though

thought*

our medics do get issued the jump RATS though

CA medics do too

among the 50 million other bags

i don't think i've ever used the SPEAR Patrol or SPEAR Recce

but i've used the SPEAR Assault before

it was actually CA and Batt medics that i saw running the CLS belts so it was cool to see

but anyway be careful about running phones not specifically configured for ATAK

its cool for familiarization but i've seen OPFOR grab people's phone signals and track them down at CTCs before

and it's a straight no go overseas

[coarse laurel]

@low fox yes they did this for NTC and JRTC so no phones

[silver eagle]

my buddy @clever charm wants to know if these are real guns?

[crimson shoal]

No

[slim flint]

none of our guns are real. All airsoft bro

Outdoor Research is a great company, im just lucky i got such a steal on the price

[narrow fractal]

Found this in a duffel bag at work, gonked it.

[fickle tapir]

gators are a excellent thing to have on you, never know when you might need em.

[mossy obsidian]

Do you happen to have any green batteries lying around?

[silk sun]

A gator over a tennis shoe...

[devout bone]

I'm using Salomens GTX mid-cuts irl

[silk sun]

Ah.

[vague condor]

[devout bone]

Lmao

[vague condor]

[silk sun]

[devout bone]

Gaiters are a great purchase for here, since there's a metric shit ton of snakes

[narrow fractal]

fetches the spray paint again

Hol on just a sec

[hexed talon]

I have a slick

(Stops 6 rounds of 7.62 M80 just saying)

Yes it’s tan slick

Slick doesnt have molle

Literally the entire purpose of it being slick

@low fox Plot twist he actually shows a real pic of his kit like this LMAO

((Doubt))

[low fox]

Imagine not being an anglo larper

Filthy colonial

[waxen widget]

What headphones should I use for tarkov? Does having a good headset matter? Currently rocking the hyper stinger

[dim vault]

having all the best stuff always feels nice, but you should never think you need any of it, LVndmark will still bop you with his lil' ol' earbuds he uses anyday

[waxen widget]

Do you know if any of them use surround sound or just plane stereo?

[dim vault]

iirc lvndmark uses a streamdeck that acts as a dac/amp unit, so odds are that he uses surround sound, but he's still only hearing on earbud quality. Not having directional audio in general is kinda shooting urself in the foot, but i've never heard of anyone turning that stuff off

if ur headphones can't do directional audio then yeah get an upgrade, however dolby 7.1 surround with all the bells and whistles isnt needed

[waxen widget]

Like how do I know if I have that on though so

[dim vault]

if you hear someone walking around, you should be able to hear which direction they are in relation to you, if you can't, ur headphones have somethin fucky going on with them

[waxen widget]

I could pull out their like general direction or smthing

Like when I hear gunshots

Does that mean I have surround sound working?

[wheat thistle]

i love you

[dull snow]

wut

[low fox]

for the sake of allah

we will march to the gate

of the paradise where no audiophiles clog up the chat

[low fox]

shut lmt lmao

[low fox]

ok?

[spring oar]

ipstresser won't be enough

[low fox]

What do u guys think of my gear setup here - im out on the field:

[wild night]

pov: average competitive tarkov player

[vernal path]

lmao

[slim flint]

HAAHaAHAHAHA

[steep marsh]

Tbh you should ditch the plate carrier for a chest rig or something, gotta stay light and nimble

[devout bone]

as long as that airsoft dude is enjoying it
he's probably getting good exercise

[devout bone]

Lol

[night magnet]

balls of steel to post that

reinforced titanium

[echo jay]

no hes just an idiot

[low fox]

outdated carrier tbh

and i say this as someone who's had 3 of them

traps a whole lot of heat

there are upgrades to the SPC that make it more suitable at load bearing than the AVS

and there are other carriers that have the load bearing capability that don't require an internal harness that cooks you alive to do it as well

not bad to be sure

just outdated

or just be a chad like me and use specifically outdated gear from the 1870s to dunk on the colonials

me blasting the enemy with a wheellock pistol

[devout bone]

fair enough
I got it when I was just looking for a cool upgrade to my shit tier chinisium carrier

its a repro though, so I didn't expect too much from my one, but the stitching and material is good, and it holds up really well with real crye padding

have had it for two years or so now, and its very comfortable and great for what it is

no tearing, no ripping. I just got lucky with the repro QC lottery lol

I want to grab a Flyye JPC whenever I find one on Ebay that is in Multicam
either that or a Warrior Assault in MC
thoughts on either?

[low fox]

No its the 1871 valise with bren bags and an slr

Imagine getting clapped by a man in this

https://bashelypottss.files.wordpress.com/2012/10/wpid-6b796d5714a9ef5c35c94b2eb7895d12.jpg

[low fox]

i use my gear professionally so i couldn't really tell you about repro JPCs, only real ones, and I've never used anything from WAS so idk, soz

[devout bone]

fair enough
I just fuck around with my kit doing crossfit, so its definitely a difference between work gear and larp gear

[low fox]

I know airsofters dont hate em.

As for practical use it have not god damn clue

[devout bone]

Flyye is Eagle Industries, isnt' it?

like how LBX is LBT

[low fox]

All of my gear is pre 90s

[devout bone]

[low fox]

Except for my korean larping shit

[devout bone]

[devout bone]

ANZAC based

[low fox]

Doing LTc Malone

Got clapped by some navy fucks during Galipoli at chunuck bar

Took the hill early, no one told the navy. Navy shells his unit.

[devout bone]

Brits shelled us when we pushed too fast sadly

Turks held valiantly

[low fox]

Thats a gross simplificatiom

The navy had orders. Shell at X time

Malone took at X-0200

Then never ran a runner to the navy

My personal hate is that one Fuck who decided to not push with his naval invasion

[devout bone]

We did a fair bit on the Gallipoli invasion in school

I dont remember it too well since I haven't refreshed my WW1 history

I should

[low fox]

I decided to do this guy. So pain

HE HAS 3 PHOTOS

THATS IT

Funnily enough he is the reason the taranaki cap exists.

[devout bone]

sick

always cool to see historical kit

[mossy obsidian]

Never trust the French

[low fox]

wasnt the french, this is Gallipoli

[mossy obsidian]

My brain

Translated fuck to French

[low fox]

WESTON

THATS WHO IT WAS

FUCK

[mossy obsidian]

But. I am not ashamed to admit that I completely owe what little I know about Gallipoli to a certain Swedish rock band

[devout bone]

lol

its only really a big piece of history for us Australians and New Zealanders

[low fox]

I mean it was a whole cultural schism.

[devout bone]

yeah I know lol

[low fox]

I could tell

[devout bone]

I should buy a Lee Enfield

Hey Paperclip, what boots do you use?

[devout bone]

I need good soles or it feels fucking shit

[low fox]

[low fox]

[devout bone]

[slim flint]

what carrier is this??

[nocturne venture]

Agilite K19 older generation, it’s okay it’s shoulder pads aren’t great though cause it’s hard to get a good stock placement but otherwise it’s great might get a Slickster or Thorax instead

[low fox]

carries your mother

all i know is arc v2

well, and harness'd crye SPC sitting in my closet

[low fox]

just dont be a bitch and toughen up your traps

[nocturne venture]

They come out so much and take up my shoulders so I have a space the size of your brain left to put my stick on

[low fox]

its a joke zaddy no need to pull out the 9

space the size of your cock headass

[nocturne venture]

:)

[devout bone]

Id post my AVS, but its fuck ugly cause I mix Multicam and Ranger Green

[slim flint]

post it

[devout bone]

you're lucky i fold under pressure

@slim flint

its very barebones

[slim flint]

what that

[devout bone]

radio pouch

we need a license for a proper transmit and receive radio, which Im too lazy to get, so Its got whip antenna stuffed into a walkie talkie pouch

it looks cool

thats all that really matters

then I have my HS Flatpack which just has some tools and a canteen

I only really use this for exercise tbh

not much I can do with the carrier

I've just been buying shit for my battle-belt setup

which im going to use for IPSC if I get my pistol license

[formal hamlet]

Yo, where did you get the usec patch

[slim flint]

damn RIP

[devout bone]

Aliexpress but Tarkov merch store actually sells a real one

[formal hamlet]

Ok

[devout bone]

https://tarkovmerchstore.com/Patches

ive got a USEC hat in the mail rn

[slim flint]

Where I'm from if my friend wants to give me a smokin deal for his Mak I'll just straight up buy it lol

[devout bone]

Makarov's are hot

[slim flint]

People price them at glock prices which is hilarious because these trash pistols aren't worth more than $250.

[devout bone]

get a double stack version

[slim flint]

I hope your pistol license gets denied.

[devout bone]

Im just kinda working on a USEC cosplay
I got a USEC cap and another patch coming

[devout bone]

fuck you

lol

[slim flint]

lmfao

[devout bone]

so basically, 1911s cost an arm here

so my dream of an M45 is out the window

[slim flint]

in the Philippines you just have to ask your neighbor to make one

$100.

[devout bone]

Ive already got a Safariland holster for the glock, so I guess Ill just buy either a G34 or the G17L when I eventually get a license

[slim flint]

and over there $100 is a gotdamn fortune.

[devout bone]

thats crazy

a real M45A1 here is $3k

[slim flint]

they only went up because recon grew some balls and went glock

[devout bone]

I think the .45 two wurld wers is actually baller

[slim flint]

they aren't worth more than a grand and that's still laughable

[devout bone]

yeah we have inflated prices here

a single pinned 30 round pmag is $100

its whatever, it wont change but atleast wages allow you to actually afford it

just dont have any other expensive hobbies lol

[slim flint]

At one point in my life I hoarded 30 m4 mags from the army and couldn't fill them up so i sold them, but now I can lol

I'll bounce back dude

[devout bone]

damn, thats a lot of stanags

it's never enough.

30 ain't shit now.

not even a hundred is.

[devout bone]

Im just addicted to kit

[slim flint]

Can you get the Crye SPC?

[devout bone]

Yeah but it will cost a fortune

I just need to find a local retailer and itll be regional priced

thats actually not terrible

huh

Crye shit usually costs an arm

unless its a bag or pouches

[formal hamlet]

I have a Hackett Alpha One clone, and imma get the ir usec patch

[devout bone]

I love my AVS

[formal hamlet]

It's on amazon

[devout bone]

[devout bone]

[devout bone]

[formal hamlet]

It came with it

[formal hamlet]

Hey, dm me pics of what you have do far on the kit. I could suggest stuff for you if you want

Like carrier wise

[devout bone]

[formal hamlet]

[devout bone]

@formal hamlet

[formal hamlet]

@slim flint we get SORD shit real cheap here though

[formal hamlet]

Well I'm gonna try to get a replica 60rnd for my airsot set up

[devout bone]

anyone want 40 mike mike pouches?

[low fox]

Putties

[formal hamlet]

Thanks

[devout bone]

oh!
leg wraps
gross

Ill stick to my gaiters

[low fox]

Dude, i love em

They work so well

[devout bone]

Putties dont stop snake bites

I rather not have an Eastern Brown fucking go for my thigh lol

[low fox]

just be in snow

like me

[formal hamlet]

@devout bone two dump pouches because just extra space If I need to plus of I want to have an aesthetic build I can swap out

[low fox]

snakes are just an illusion made by southerners to get people to buy snakeshot 45

[devout bone]

also lmao

look at this beauty

she's so fucking venomous

and common

I rather just go the extra mile for some thick cordura gaiters

leg-wraps are aesthetically pleasing though

[low fox]

Yeah i know, i just dont usually need to deal with the shits

[devout bone]

Yep
you guys just deal with bears or mountain lions

honestly I rather snakes

atleast I can outrun them

[low fox]

i can shoot mountian lions

[tacit jewel]

ye but if you happen to step on one ur fucked, got a lot of diamondbacks where i live and tbh id rather something i can hear coming

[low fox]

Snakes and bugs, no

[devout bone]

atleast rattlesnakes give you a warning

Eastern Browns, Red bellies and tigers dont give a fuck

[tacit jewel]

see thats the problem, you clearly dont deal with them because they do not give a warning

[devout bone]

I dont deal with rattle snakes
they dont exist here

[tacit jewel]

they're getting smarter, the diamondbacks here dont rattle because when they do they instantly get eaten by hogs

[devout bone]

crazy

[tacit jewel]

so instead they just bite or fuck off, we've killed over 30 and they only rattle after being shot

[devout bone]

cant kill snakes here
so you just avoid them or call someone

out in the bush, you just avoid
no point harassing them

[tacit jewel]

i just walk around with a 410 judge if im going into the woods

and some snake boots

[devout bone]

Yeah im just grabbing my salomens and gaiters for bush walks

should be fine for the most part

unless I stumble upon a 1-2m Brown that decides my chest is looking extra nice for venom

[tacit jewel]

sounds about right

[low fox]

I just walk around with my garbage handgun

[devout bone]

ah yes
9mm on a snake

[low fox]

Yes

Or just literally leaving the snake alone

[devout bone]

Yeah obviously thats the best course of action

snakes are beautiful animals

I rather just walk away

Also like, its illegal to kill one anyway

Anyway
Anyone got recommendations on a good rucksack?

something bigger than 30L

[low fox]

mystery ranch

alternatively, surplus alice pack if poor

[devout bone]

I am poor

Ill check out Mystery Ranch shit though

[low fox]

Alice

The molle ruck isnt that horrid if your poor

still a solid pack to this day

arguably better than the molle ruck

I disagree

the frame is horrid

most high end packs, including the mystery ranch packs are based off of the frame

Yeah but the alice frame is specifically horrid

i disagree

but it's your opinion

Cheap molle exists at the same price as cheap Alice

[devout bone]

Thank you

[formal hamlet]

Yo, are you sure that is mox afaik?

[acoustic harbor]

мох = Moss, the russian word, afaik = As Far As I Know

[formal hamlet]

Oh ok

I just hear it called atacs fg

[acoustic harbor]

Green Moss is a Russian Version of Atacs, I'm not entirely sure if the M2 is manufactured in atacs or Moss, but we (Russian Gear Nerds) in general call both Moss

at least me and my friend group do so frequently

That's the PC he's using

[low fox]

bad russian JPC ripoff

the eastern bloc sure is funny

if they stopped misbehaving they could just buy them like the rest of europe

[acoustic harbor]

M2 isn't really used though for my expirience

it just exists

[slim flint]

Somewhere on the PC it says "Made in China"

👲

[formal hamlet]

Thanks mate

[zinc apex]

JPC cringe

[acoustic harbor]

very based individual

[low fox]

Anyone here order from vajera concepts

[low fox]

cringe opinion

[dull snow]

JPC cringe, 6094 is where its at

[low fox]

2 cringe opinions 😔

i find that most people who dislike the JPC have never used it in a serious capacity

the 6094 had a place, and a time

for its time it was great

since then, other carriers have surpassed its design by building upon things it introduced

also whoever made that meme has probably never carried 80 pounds of anything in their lives

80 pounds of equipment is wickedly heavy

most assaulters aren't even running 80 pounds

MFW i dont own any carrier made after 2004 lmao

45 - 50 is higher end of the spectru

m

if you have 80 pounds you're probably carrying someone else's shit on top of yours

that or you're a machine gunner

ive had so many different carriers

i started out with an eagle MBAV

that was the first one i ever bought

then i went to the JPC 2.0

then the AVS

i forgot what i had after that

but i went back to the AVS after it

then i went to something else and back to the AVS a third time

and then i got the SPC

oh yeah, it was the LV MBAV

anyway, after the SPC, i'm currently on the shaw concepts arc v2

i've cycled through unholy amounts of gear now that i think about it

so many paychecks spent 😔

B. I dont wanna shill out 105 and get fucked

[formal hamlet]

[devout bone]

thats a gross pattern

[uneven fog]

Think ppl might appreciate a snippet of my collection here.

[fallow pasture]

Do yall think this armor is a waste of money? looking to use it on my next irl raid

[uneven fog]

Lmao they're called hobbies. Maybe you should try one instead of judging other people's.

[fallow pasture]

You hate gay people?

[uneven fog]

Lmao

[fallow pasture]

Not a joke.

[fallow pasture]

gayness is called a hobby. Maybe you should try it instead of juding other peoples hobbies.

[uneven fog]

That's a sexuality mate, nobody's gonna take your bait

[low fox]

Soldier 2000

[devout bone]

fucking disgusting

buy multicam

[low fox]

No. I collect for a reason

[fallow pasture]

Sexuality can also be a hobby, But i actually dont think you hate gay people. You just hate him because of his skin color. Please refrain from being racist within the tarkov discord server.

[devout bone]

wait, are people actually anti-lgbt lol?

[low fox]

And as I cannot buy granite b plate carrier right now

Soldier 2000 is the nbt

[devout bone]

buy a Defender II

[low fox]

No

[devout bone]

yes

Russian larp

[fallow pasture]

its actually LFBTQWXWPSODIFUG++ so get it right.

[low fox]

Im going to unequivically say this. I do not give a rats Fuck about your opinion on camo

[devout bone]

bruh moment

[low fox]

I asked if anyone ordered from em

[devout bone]

okay vomit-camo enjoyer 🤮

[fallow pasture]

dont assume my pronouns.

[devout bone]

okay?

[fallow pasture]

thank you/

[devout bone]

ive heard that VTC is reliable

Ive never personally ordered from them

but most dont offer international shipping anyway

[fallow pasture]

oops

wrong link

[devout bone]

you alright?

why you coming in #irl-gear and not talking about gear

[fallow pasture]

wait who?

[devout bone]

trolling moment

[fallow pasture]

Sorry i had to do something to pass the time while these dumbass servers are down

[devout bone]

lol

[normal harbor]

no lol

[devout bone]

lmao

[elfin willow]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 goofy

[low fox]

I'm a medic so I've never had to wear my kit a whole lot but know alot of infantry guys that just buy whatever plate carrier they find at at US patriot tactical gear or 7 11 and those work fine for them

[devout bone]

711 lmao

[inner hamlet]

@devout bone How do you get the operator role but get blacklisted from images

[wispy bobcat]

Mega F

[devout bone]

I used to have conversations in the eft meme chat

[inner hamlet]

That's fair, I just got muted for 12 hours from the Sherpa Discord for "CopyPasta" when I didn't send anything lmao

[devout bone]

Lol

[low fox]

Banned for "extreme racism". No longer banned

[devout bone]

Racism is gross

Ostracize people based on their choice in gear and guns

[night rock]

based

[devout bone]

Anyone that runs a hipoint with the dollar vinyl wrap is immediately based

That is the law

[acoustic harbor]

actual Redut and Sburya?

haven't seen a T5 Kit in a while

and if it is, mad respect

[devout bone]

I want an Emerald Defender

or a Gladiator C

[acoustic harbor]

MC, Grey or (nearly impossible to get) Atacs?

[devout bone]

grey

[acoustic harbor]

meh, Atacs do be the drippiest, but only one still exists to my information, MC is like nearly best, Currently waiting for mine, oh yeah and be sure to be smart sometimes the prices are outrageous, whole set without plates could go up to 2500 USD easily, mfw I'm getting it cheaper with plates

saw a Glad A go for 300 000 Rub a while ago, but like whole set incl plates

[devout bone]

the fuck
2.5k USD for an alright plate carrier?

lol Id cop the $150 aud for the WAS Assault carrier

[acoustic harbor]

Glads are pretty gucci, full Kevlar protection, very lightweight, full set with plates is about 9-10 Kilos (20-22lb), Plates are very good, can stop M993

very modular

[devout bone]

Yeah but Im not going to be putting plates in them

illegal to have plates

[acoustic harbor]

can add/remove, Shoulder, Groin, Buttocks (Glad B), and you can choose between Lower neck or a full Collar protector

[devout bone]

this dudes Glad C is my ideal Glad

[acoustic harbor]

wait what, where do you live thar plates are illegal

[devout bone]

Aus

I can have weighted plates afaik

[acoustic harbor]

seems to me to be a replica

FSB shop makes some good Glad Repros, Glad A in MC and C in Grey

[devout bone]

hmm
thanks, ill check that out actually

[acoustic harbor]

just waiting time is ass with them

[devout bone]

Replica's are good if they're made to the same standard

[acoustic harbor]

ye FSB Shop uses orignal MC on the A iirc

[devout bone]

Ive got an AVS, so I can always really just swap patches and itll be good for a FSB/SOBR-Terek kit

yep
$280 USD for a Glad C is actually awesome price

even if its repro, from images and online reviews, its nearly on par

just doesn't have warranty or branding

[acoustic harbor]

real also doesn't have warranty, they are literally stolen/get "lost"

[devout bone]

ah yeah, i forgot about that

like Ratnik shit

[acoustic harbor]

hehe, I currently have a problen with that, got a 6Sh117 but was a incomplete batch so now my Seller has the problem to get the pouches i need seperately, thank you russian government

(fyi the batch of 117s was missing pouches like Radio, Flask and Gasmask, to safe cost)

[devout bone]

you can always go repro

the pattern will probably not be the same colour though

How are you liking the 6sh117?

[acoustic harbor]

Not bad LBV, pretty comfortable, especially over my 6B45

[devout bone]

the 6b45 is a funky plate carrier

looks so blocky

[acoustic harbor]

It's not that bulky, very comfortable, front side fixation could be overworked though

[devout bone]

whats your thoughts on the 6b47 helm?

if you have one

Cause im thinking of converting my old ass MICH repro into a 6b47

[acoustic harbor]

light, shell is okay protection whise, lil dissapointef though , uses like straps instead of pads in comparison to a Mich/ACH, has a NVG mount on the front and a Picatinny on the side, though that one is rarely to never used

but if you already have a Mich you could just keep it

and just fyi, I own nearly full Ratnik, so if you have questions, just ask

[devout bone]

im just throwing an EMR cover on it

and getting a russian nod mount

[acoustic harbor]

I doubt there are EMR Covers for a Mich but maybe you find one

[devout bone]

the 6b47 cover fits it

[acoustic harbor]

fr?

[devout bone]

its a bit large on it, but ill shrink it in the washing machine

yeah

[acoustic harbor]

bruh

[devout bone]

yeah i didnt think theyd fit

[acoustic harbor]

same

[devout bone]

but tbf, they're all just PASGT copies

that have been changed

[acoustic harbor]

Just the Mich has better protection than the 47, it's just Gost 1+ the Mich is like gost 2

[devout bone]

mhm

doesn't matter when the shell is plastic

but itll atleast look cool

[acoustic harbor]

Because i only own real stuff I always think about the protection levels but I understand your argument

[devout bone]

I just cant get the real steel helmets other than bumps

So i have an ops-core bump and then a bunch of cosplay pieces

[acoustic harbor]

pretty shit laws it seems

[devout bone]

eh, atleast it doesnt restrict kit

it just restricts protection
so carriers, uniforms and all that bling is gucci

[acoustic harbor]

Why though

Why is armor forbidden

[devout bone]

I like to think its because of Ned Kelly

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ned_Kelly

[acoustic harbor]

Interesting

Still pretty stupid, I live in europe and Armor has no restrictions even with the ret*rded Gunlaws

[devout bone]

lucky

ig

Anyway I mostly use shit for outdoors stuff

Carrier and Helmet are for larp

[acoustic harbor]

I have enough stuff to choose what I use depending on what I'm gonna do today

[devout bone]

Lol

[earnest pecan]

In some provinces in canada, its illegal to own body armor

[uneven fog]

I was super suprised to find out the UK has no restrictions either, as we have super strict gun laws too. In fact you can find ballistic helmets as cheap as £50 second hand.

[acoustic harbor]

same here in a way

own military stuff is like super cheap

[uneven fog]

yeah I've imported 2 russian bulletproof vests by now as well, I was sure id come across some resistance, but no. In fact it's super easy to find AK gas tubes and dust covers, sights etc here too.

[acoustic harbor]

Which ones you own by now?

[cerulean kayak]

So I wound up getting a 5.11 TacTec on sale, plan on adding some ceramic plates in a few months, but I hear that the TacTec ain't considered too good an option. What are people's opinion on it?

[low fox]

that it's a bad option but better than nothing

[cerulean kayak]

So what makes it bad? I am curious to why things changed, but I couldn't find an answer off hand through google.

[low fox]

@cerulean kayak RMA has two lvl IV plates for $280.

RMA 1155

#casuallymentionsjohnsun

https://rmadefense.com/store/body-armor/level-iv-body-armor/level-iv-body-armor-plate-model-1155/

[cerulean kayak]

Oh. Sweet. Just also need some 6x8 side plates and I am gold. Though...hmm...if I do the plates first, I won't have money to buy ammo for this quarter.

[low fox]

Decisions decisions.

[cerulean kayak]

I got to buy so much stuff to finish out my infrastructure.

Though yeah, was just wondering why the Tactec is considered obsolescent

[low fox]

I have no idea.

[cerulean kayak]

very fair

[acoustic harbor]

can it stop M993 doe

[low fox]

@acoustic harbor. I think the better is question can you obtain m993.

[acoustic harbor]

Obtained, Not obtained, if it hits you you know he got it

so better safe than sorry

[low fox]

I'll bet my life 99% of people can't get it.

You buy armor based on the most likely threat.

[acoustic harbor]

I get those plates with my armor, and it is actually rated for 7.62x54R AP (B32 i believe), but can stop M993, so it's a small little bonus

[low fox]

Sounds heavy.

[acoustic harbor]

I also doubt to be shot with M993, but by being neighbouring to former Yugoslavia the 54R is likely to be used

[acoustic harbor]

whole vest is like 9-10 Kilos

protects Shoulders/Deltoids, Groin, Neck, and the whole Torso

[low fox]

Yeah that's heavy

[acoustic harbor]

I doubt, specially lighter than similar models

[low fox]

For armor that's heavy.

[acoustic harbor]

and for me it's not that big of a problem to bear

[cerulean kayak]

Well, when I break out the best Tachanka cosplay, I will get all the things.

😛

[acoustic harbor]

Tachanka, cringe

The D2 is actually pretty shitty armor design

heavy, spalls like a bitch

and the Maska, i think that one weighs about 6 Kilos?

a little lighter maybe

[low fox]

Walk with it for a bit. Go hiking. You'll figure it out pretty quick.

[low fox]

what country do you want to imitate

and where do you live

[fierce briar]

Cringy CrossFit marketing, it's a one size fits all plate carrier, so it's grossly oversized for 95% of people

[cerulean kayak]

Crossfit?

[fierce briar]

American workout/weightlifting competition and people wear plate carriers with weight plates in them.

[cerulean kayak]

I see. So did this also result in a drop in quality or was this also just bad design to begin with?

[fierce briar]

Bad design to begin with

[cerulean kayak]

Well, I have a tactec and I got it for 50% off so I guess use it until it goes bad

[acoustic harbor]

what happened here

[low fox]

He dmd me

Gave him some sites and a guide

[acoustic harbor]

about what?

[low fox]

Uniforms and kit

[acoustic harbor]

and how did he go from guides to intimidating a country

[low fox]

I asked him if he had a kit he wanted

So i could direct him

There are a lot of specialty shops specializing in specific kits

[acoustic harbor]

depends I mostly get my Gear from private sellers, probably because most of my gear is stolen from Russia

[formal hamlet]

Get what you want mate, as long as it works and does the job that is designed to do. Plus 5.11 TacTecs aren't terrible.

[low fox]

no they definitely are

but it could be worse

[finite pivot]

waht to do with bitcoin? sell it it to therapist

?

[formal hamlet]

They are ok

[formal hamlet]

I'm not saying they are "JuSt aS GOod" but I've heard from multiple people that they were an ok PC

[low fox]

im not saying you're saying they're just as good

but it's cope to say that the tactec isn't a bad carrier

it is

it's serviceable

but it's a bad carrier

[formal hamlet]

It's bad, but it works

[low fox]

condor is shit too, and i know guys who went to afghanistan with it

it'll work if it's all you got but i'd upgrade whenever possible

[formal hamlet]

Yeah, agreed

it isn't worth the $210 price tag

@low fox thoughts on HSP

[low fox]

eh

they definitely make great gear but im not a fan

[formal hamlet]

Ok, what's a good but cheap gun light?

[low fox]

lights are important and i'd never cheap out on one

what's your definition of cheap

cause there's pretty decent prices on secondhand surfires and arisaka lights out there

[formal hamlet]

Around $50

[low fox]

save 50 dollars 4 times and buy a surefire

money isn't going anywhere

better to just do it right the first time man

you'll thank yourself later

and if you don't like it you can easily sell it for what you got it for secondhand

[formal hamlet]

Ok, thanks

[formal hamlet]

What light do you have

[low fox]

at work, an insight wmx 200, on my personal gun, a modlite plh-v2

[formal hamlet]

Cool, thanks

[cerulean kayak]

I got my Tactec for 50% off because it was a discontinued color

Hmm...eh, I guess I have it for a USEC cosplay later.

[devout bone]

it holds plates and wont break
its shit cause it cant be adjusted for frames and its design is stupidly big

so its whatever, if you like it more power to you

it wont break easily

[devout bone]

good idea

[cerulean kayak]

As long as it doesn;t break. And I am a big guy, so it is fine.

I will get something better later

[low fox]

there's so much shit i have to sell now that i'm done reorganizing my apartment lol

it's a neverending fucking struggle

[cerulean kayak]

what you selling?

[low fox]

jpcs, placards, mag pouches, lots of stuff

[formal hamlet]

Yeah bro, sounds like a good idea

[formal hamlet]

Jpcs?

Plate carrier?

[low fox]

me when tarkov has like 4 versions of the AVS but no JPC

kek

@formal hamlet yeah

[formal hamlet]

Thanks, I was curious

[formal hamlet]

I take it you're law enforcement?

[low fox]

no

military

[formal hamlet]

Oh ok

My brother is in law enforcement so I was just wondering

[low fox]

probably do that when i get out

well

probably more aligned with the intelligence community orssomething

but federal work

[formal hamlet]

Cool

[formal hamlet]

What branch?

[low fox]

army

[formal hamlet]

Dope

[formal hamlet]

What's your mos

[low fox]

37F

[formal hamlet]

Cool

[cerulean kayak]

You got a listing somewhere?

[low fox]

no

i havent sorted through everything yet

[cerulean kayak]

Well, when you do get a listing, let me know. I am currious

[echo jay]

this is #irl-gear

[storm peak]

guy who just plays music all day and makes t shirts for their unit

[devout bone]

Also, does anyone know a good place to buy AVS pouches

not the internal ones, but these ones

im fine with repro, since its just mag pouches

[brazen kettle]

Anybody here use much SORD stuff?

[pallid depot]

Optactical maybe?

Any of you anime nerds going to be in Los Angeles this weekend?

[devout bone]

I'll check it out

[acoustic harbor]

Killa Cosplay

[river cedar]

just contract, you know you wanna

[nocturne pawn]

Drill instructor me

[pearl leaf]

who tf would go to LA

[pallid depot]

i hate it too so i understand

[hallow compass]

Quick question where can I buy Killas vest but the actual ballistic version?

[mossy obsidian]

https://grey-shop.ru/Scavs-Killa-Bodyarmor-6B13

Nvm

Am dumb

He uses 6B13 armor, it’s Russian. I don’t know if you can even get it

[hallow compass]

I don't need the decal I just want the vest

But ur probably right

I just wanted a Killa set for a short film I'm making

[mossy obsidian]

Someone might make a clone of it here in the states, someone else might know

[pallid depot]

you can fairly easily get actual russian rigs but you have to look around

[hallow compass]

Great now I have to go on a goose chase

Would u like by any chance know any websites?

[pallid depot]

nah i only bought the killa armor for costume purposes so the replica was fine for me

[hallow compass]

Noooo

Crud

If I find it I'll be sure to post a link here for anyone interested in having the real deal

[low fox]

playing music all day
jerking off and painting rocks in the regular army
🤷‍♂️

i know which one i'd rather pick

oh yeah, i forgot to add >playing music all day after my automatic promotion to E6 after less than 1 year post POQC graduation

can't forget the special duty pay

language pay

oh yeah i almost forgot about the BAH and BAS because I'm not forced to live on post

[hallow compass]

I can't find that armor only replicas

[low fox]

i almost doubly forgot my 70k re-enlistment bonus that was tax free because i re-upped in a combat zone

[hallow compass]

I feel like I'm in raid and looting a scav rn, only to find out I didn't find the real deal

[hallow compass]

U doing army too?

[low fox]

yeah, i re-upped pretty recently

against my better judgement

[hallow compass]

I just enlisted

Soon I will be in basic actually right after school

Which is spring

[low fox]

do yourself a favor and go to assessment and selection for literally anything as soon as possible

[hallow compass]

Ye

Medic or nothing rbh

Tbh*

Idrc if I can't get medic, I feel like saving lives rather than cooking or something

[low fox]

then you get to play music all day or whatever that nerd was talking about and get paid an exorbitant amount of money to do it as an E6

[hallow compass]

Oo

Well I'm actually going to transfer to the Marine core if I can after I serve a good amount of time in the army

[low fox]

that is the worst idea i've ever heard in my life

since you probably don't know any better

doing that means literally restarting your entire career in the military

and i promise you you don't want to do that

it is not worth it for any reason

not only would you go back to being a private

[hallow compass]

I kinda do so that way I have to go thru more training and ranking

[low fox]

but you'd have to redo basic training all over again

...

yea ur young and have no idea what ur saying

i'll just leave it at that

though i'm probably not much older than you are

[hallow compass]

It's for the adrenaline and the sweat, already like fst

And that's nothing

[low fox]

restarting your career won't get you any of that lol

[hallow compass]

Combat?

[low fox]

all it's gonna get you is treated like an elementary schooler by people you should already outrank

yea good luck with that dude

the only places people are really seeing anything now is in africa

and you're not going to africa anywhere but SOF basically

[hallow compass]

I could care less about that I just want to be in the fritz actually serving my country and not just sitting around my base

And helping ppl

[low fox]

your plan to do that is joining the marines after spending years in the army/

[hallow compass]

I could do like food supplies and stuff too

Not more then three years

[low fox]

so you want to be a medic for 3 years

then restart your entire career in the marine corps

having to go through BCT again

[hallow compass]

I already talked with my recruiter abt it and if I met requirements I could transfer Early to start earlier

But yeah

Reset

[low fox]

he's lying to you because that isn't how shit work

s

in the first place

transfer to what

the marine corps has no medics

so you're just going to have to pick a new job field you know nothing about, effectively making you an e nothing private again

[hallow compass]

That is the point

[low fox]

??

dont take this the wrong way

but that's the dumbest fucking shit i've ever heard in my entire life

like ive heard people talk about career decisions that were dumb before

but bro

[hallow compass]

I like doing stuff like tests

[low fox]

what you're saying is something absolutely impossible for me to wrap my head around

[hallow compass]

What's wrong with that?

[low fox]

it isn't a "test" to waste 3 years of military service lol

it's just a complete and utter waste of your time

basic training isn't hard

just fucking stupid

[hallow compass]

I don't care abt my rank lol

[low fox]

you fuckin' should

cause it's important lmao

[hallow compass]

And Marine core training is alot different than army

[low fox]

no, it really isn't

[hallow compass]

Not from what I was told asking online

On the website

[low fox]

i have literally no reason to lie to you

i'm not a recruiter

i don't care what you do

[hallow compass]

More physically demanding is pretty much what they said

Not rly details

[low fox]

to who lmao

military fitness standards are not difficult to achieve

and the minimum is the only thing that will ever be asked of you in a line unit

[hallow compass]

I did a ask questions thing on their website

[low fox]

the marine corps website?

[hallow compass]

I thought they made u push urself

[low fox]

so you talked a recruiter from the marine corps

[hallow compass]

It just said ask a question, this was awhile ago when I thought of the idea

[low fox]

they filled your head with the "man marines are so hardcore" bullshit didn't they

L M A O

they got ur ass good

[hallow compass]

Well media can be influential

[low fox]

again

let me tell you this

as someone who has deployed with marines

with no incentive to ever tell you one way or another because nothing you do has any affect on my life

it's the same shit

[hallow compass]

Dang

Then wtf

What abt combat?

[low fox]

marines dont see any more or less than anybody else

actually, if anything you're more likely to see combat in the army

[hallow compass]

Even worse I thought they did

[low fox]

the army has the most deployments of any branch

because it's the biggest

and has the most bodies

[hallow compass]

I have been bamboozled

[low fox]

don't worry, they do that to everyone

[hallow compass]

Now I look ridiculous

I already did when I posted those sus knives that looked new but now I look even worse🤣

[low fox]

if you want to go shoot shit join the army and go be a ranger medic or something

[hallow compass]

Ranger is harder I heard

[low fox]

duh

[hallow compass]

But I could do research

[low fox]

it's a special operations unit

if it was easy everybody would do it

[hallow compass]

Tru

As long as I get to take some wicked far shots

I'd definitely do it considering I'd be trained more

[low fox]

ur not sniping as a medic

[hallow compass]

Ye

Tru

[low fox]

if you want to be a combat medic, be a combat medic

if you want to be a sniper be an infantryman

those are basically your options

[hallow compass]

Infantry would probably be in favor on terms of what I'm expecting

[low fox]

you're not going to get whatever it is you're expecting outside of the special operations community right now

[hallow compass]

Well I could always do ranger later in my career right? I heard of transferring branches but not of the latter

[low fox]

unless you expect to sweep alot of floors

and paint alot of rocks

you can

but why would you

it doesnt make sense to not try for ranger as soon as possible in your career

[hallow compass]

I don't want to paint rocks

At all

[low fox]

yeah well that's what happens when you're in a regular army unit during a peacetime military

you gon mop

you gon sweep

and you gon cut grass and paint rocks

[hallow compass]

At least we not at war tho

I mean a war could break put at any point, and the benefits seem good

So I'll still be enlisting, it's not worth to miss this just because of rocks and mopping

Shit I'm spamming cuz I got distracted

[low fox]

its simple

look up what the recommended standards for RASP 1 is

or recommended physical requirements or whatever
