I have the Cold WX ARs, they are very good assuming you are fine with losing some fine dexterity and sense of touch.

I've done a few hours of wood processing and the leather isn't abraded at all.

It was -10F here and my hands only got cold when I stood around.

Tactical Distributors had a -30% off sale for Black Friday, I got them along with the Cold WX balaclava and the Alpha Gen 2 pants.

I think it just looks like that because of all the gear on his belt.

>>32296050
It is supposed to go on your strong side near the front, kinda like appendix carry. The idea is that if you're ever using it on yourself one handed you're gonna put your gun down, and if you're using it one yourself with your left hand, you want it far enough center so that you can reach it. By putting it on the right hand side you leave your left side clear for mags.

What kind? How many mags you got there?

I use British MK2 combat leather gloves, it had an MVP liner but I cut it out, now the glove just serves as wind protection. I use Leather gloves in tandem with smartwool glove liners or sealskinz merino glove liners as the insulation.
It works pretty great and dries quickly.

5 mags, 3 in the placard, 2 in the double mag pouch.

The plate carrier is an Asgaard Tactical, they're not making them anymore. This plate carrier has some seriously dope features though. The drag strap pops out when you pull to give more length, and the cummerbund is a triple band like the JPCs but has mesh side plate pockets.

>>32297129
for 30 to 0 I would buy some wool baselayers and softshell pants and jackets. if you're looking for tall boots I would also consider Danners. Ultimately every brand has a slightly different fit so if you have unusually wide or narrow feet I would research that as well. My feet are wide so when I bought Merrells I ended up going up half a size, and in retrospect I can't stand how they feel a little too long. The Salomons are just right for me.

The OCPC has been nothing but good to me in the company of the LV-MBAV, my AVS, rest in airsoft heaven, and the other chest rigs I have run. It was my first and it's a really good pc for after a few months finding out what you really want out of a pc. It's a jack of all trades very entry level but not low quality pc. Would recommend.

>>32302952
steel, and avoid AR500.

Steel

>>32302971
>>32302974
Thanks!

>>32302971
Reasoning? They seem to stop boolet real gud. Recommendations for other steel inserts (obviously) with reputable spall lining?

>>32302996
because spalling and it cant stop 5.56
also AR500 has recalls all the time, they're far from reputable.

>>32302938
>You guys got hands on experience?
Yeah, but really not much. I only put mine on when it's snowy and I'm wearing semi-nice clothing. They have held up, but the use has been minimal.

>>32303035
>Spalling
So your argument is more against steel plates altogether?
>it can't stop 5.56

Uh it's rated 3/3+ NIJ so I'd be willing to bet it would stop nay 556 you can throw at it considering Level 3 will stop .308 and 3+ *can* stop AP .308

>>32303131
Why do people keep arguing. We do this at least once per thread. None of us want to explain it for the 500th time. If you want to bet your life on it then go for it, we don't give a fuck anymore

>>32303143
I'm new here and literally anything and everything I can find, and any test amateur Youtube or professional tests show that anything 3+ NIJ can and will stop 5.56 green tip. and even 7.62 black tip.

I'm genuinely curious if there's a better alternative.

>>32303166
they're just trying to shill ceramic

if you want armor that will disintegrate after an hour of crawling, go for it

>>32303184
Tbh I'm legitimately wondering. I get this is a mongolian claymation discussion website but I'd appreciate non-meme arguments.

Ceramic seems to be the objectively best option if you want to have the best chance of no harm taking only a few shots whereas steel plates seem to be a better option to take more than a few shots but have issues with spalling after around the same *safe zone* of ceramic anyways.

3+ is a meme rating, NIJ does not certify the "+" its at least level III which is unable to stop projectiles going over 3000 fps.

steel cannot be more than level III and the truck bed liner goes away after one or two shots removing your + rating

Jesus, you're stupid.

>>32303234
I didn't actually know that 3+ was just a buzzword industry rating, thanks.

>after one or two shots
Is there any conclusive data on level 4 ceramic plates being able to withstand more than multiple shots around the same place?

>>32303166
steel core beats PE
high velocity beats steel
only ceramic stops everything

this is due to each material using different principles to stop rounds.

"20+ rounds multihit" is a crock because at that quantity of fire, you've already taken a few rounds in the limbs and face and neck anyway through pure dispersion.

The professionals use ceramic for a reason: it's the best. it's not even that expensive any more.

Ceramic is not porcelain fragile. I took off my IOTV and dropped it about a meter onto a stone, brick, rock, or wood floor every night of deployment for two deployments, and never had any cracks. Unless you plan on being attacked by a crew of jackhammer-wielding lunatics there are no problems with ceramics durability.

ultimately poorfags gonna shill for steel and try to bring everyone else down to their level because they didn't have the impulse control to eat 1 burrito less a day in their basement to afford ceramic (or PE, for the weight nazis), and subconsciously know they will never need to use their gear for real.

Wrong

It was a derivative of a fudd hunting pattern

>>32303310
I'm pretty /fit/ af senpai, so "dimensions" aren't really an issue for me I was just legitimately wondering in a true Shit hit the fan scenario whether it's worth the possibility of being able to stop 1-2 30.06 but then having no more armor (Guess you can just take the one from the back of the plate carrier lol) or if the lower rated steel that can take X of whatever round but obviously more of while retaining integrity but risking shrapnel flying into your arms.

>>32303319
I would hope so, my question was if there was a decently succinct "chart" on like
6 5.56
4 7.62
2 30.06
2 7.62 black tip
etc
Or something along the lines.

I DIYed myself some rifle plates from surplus german flak sof body armour. made a mould, epoxyied 50 layers of the kevlar. then cut out the shape with pic related. 45 layers of that did stop 193 so i added another 5 to make sure.

>>32303345
Except you don't have "no more armor." Most if not all level 4 plates also satisfy multihit requirements, and even if they didn't, plates are only -for- stopping a few rounds to begin with.

if you are planning on taking multiple rounds you are already fucked. in the military sense, plates are for stopping near-instantly mortal wounds, not death, incapacitation, or injuries that can be mitigated via level II surgical care.

if you are wearing plates in SHTF, better also plan on a working hospital with surgeons, antibiotics, blood, and the friends and vehicles to get you there. your plates will catch two rounds to the chest and the rest of your body will catch three more. without a support system, you'll be shot in the guts and femorals and die slow and wish you weren't wearing anything so that you could have moved faster into cover, stayed out of gunfights by hiking farther, or just been put out of your misery faster.

"multihit" is fine, but it's the result of too many people looking at one-way range groupings and thinking that reflects reality.

>>32295235
I heard the G2 Nitrolon doesn't hold up well for weaponlight use, is that true?

Wearing a plate carrier with or without plates doesn't really slow me down bic boii, 20 lbs isn't that heavy either way but I see what you're saying.

Lifting weights for short periods of time and being able to carry 20 lbs of plates plus whatever you need in your pack for extended periods are totally different. Don't just assume you can do it without trying it first.

>>32303519
15-20lbs of a plate carrier really isn't all that much to carry around all day. However it does cut into what could be thought of as your "weight budget". Max weight being either 60lbs or 1/4 your body weight, whichever kind of math you subscribe to, but both are the same concept.

The maximum weight being how much you carry before your individual combat effectiveness (awareness and decision making being big factors) dramatically diminishes. Note that somebody can still move and ruck around past their weight threshold for that, but they start to become zombies more focused on hauling weight than looking around at their surroundings. A lot of soldiers should understand this kind of experience.

15 or 20lbs in armor takes a good chunk of that "weight budget". No problem for rocking around on the range or just walking, but add a weapon, LBE, 40lb ruck, etc on top and it starts to take its toll.

So, ya know situational dependent loadouts. But I'm sure everybody is just going to talk around me and dickwave their moto at each other.

Finally took an updated pic.

Went camping a week or two ago and it got nice and cold. Had a little snow on the ground when we woke up and everything. Tested out some of my cold weather gear and it worked well. I was nice and toasty throughout the night. My only issue is my legs were cold, even while wearing sweat pants under my regular pants. Any good recommendations for something warm to keep under my pants? Also my fleece was just a tad too big to wear under my softshell. It worked well enough but I'd like something a tad smaller to wear under my softshell. Otherwise we didn't get to do too much shooting. No real space for rifles, but I got to put a few mags through the H&K and got to mess around with my buddy's KSG. That thing is pretty fucking cool, I'm almost tempted to get one. Didn't really get any good shots while camping as my phone died halfway through the first day. Hopefully gonna go shooting innadesert soon, will try to get more pics there.

I'm a faggot and I run around with those weight carrying vests + slightly loaded backpack all the time. I don't want to sperg out and claim I'm muh-reen tier but I'm pretty far from roleplayer tier in terms of fitness. Now I just gotta learn to shoot worth a fuck and maybe I can fit the roleplaying part.

>>32303774
This. Completely right. Even if you are a big guy you're not hauling ass with all your gear on you. I do make an effort to keep my kit as light as possible but I was only saying that from what I've observed in my fitness routine and actually running around with similar stuff that adding two plate equivalents doesn't seem to slow me down.

>>32303932
>>32304706
also being too warm is a bad idea in extreme cold weather environments. Once you start sweating the evaporative cooling is going to take a lot of bodyheat away. Better to stay comfortably cool and dry all day than to go from warm and dry to warm and wet, then to cold and wet.

>>32304722

During the day when we were hiking around/shooting I just had regular pants on and I was fine. It was only like in the 40's during the day. I'm also used to warmer environments being a desert dweller, I mean shit sometimes I need feel like my arms get cold at like 65-75 degrees. Maybe I'm just a pussy when it comes to the cold.

>>32301707
I'd be worried about the integrity of those plates for that price. I paid more for that for AR500 plates and I bought directly from the store. Even that much for 1 plate shipped to SA sounds pretty reasonable.

>>32305132
Well i mean I have to explain how I ended up with it.


I bought it before the AUGA3 hit the market and before SAFE hit NY. So I paid 1100 for the thing with like 20 mags. The optic was 600 on sale at some point (fuck me they are like 600 now in general). The rail was 250 and the light is 200.

Life mango, life. Also I learned it does NOT like being bumped around when shot.

Its never given me any issues and anybody whos met me at nuggetfest and shot it will admit its a wonderful gun to shoot. Just MSAR has a shitty reputation and [spoiler] ITS ERGONOMICALLY AMAZING FUCK YOUUUUUU [/spoiler]

>>32304717
>adding two plate equivalents doesn't seem to slow me down.
No offense buddy I'm highly skeptical of this shit. Not because I think you're weak, but because I think you're simply too body-unaware to realize that you are in fact moving slower.

I'm 200lbs, 6 feet tall, with big three 1MRs of 275lbs, 365lbs, and 400lbs. I run a 5k at a sub 8 min pace and I can most certainly tell that I'm slower with my plates on.

Haven't had a lot of time to go shooting. I'm decent at it for how inexperienced I am but I'm still pretty trash.

I also work at and with a uni a lot so I especially don't wanna edge off research partners and stuff because crazy Mr.anon's gonna shoot up a uni or some shit. Roleplaying as a tier 1 operator with gun buddies once a month doesn't mix so well with being a physics research partner to undergrads and stuff.

Man, that's what I'm trying to avoid but friends are the "poltic-y" types. Half them went into Liberal arts History, social work and one straight into political science.

I'm wondering the best method to introduce normies to straight bleeding heart libs to guns as a hobby. It'll probably be easy since they're long time friends I more just don't want any of them to feel awkward or at worst threatened.

The goal would be to have a conversation along the lines of "Hey it's my birthday (or similar excuse) you want to come to a range" simple range day, leave and then not talk about firearms again unless friends are interested more into range shooting in which case I'll help to introduce them as best I can. Holy shit it literally feels like I'm a fucking pussyboi coming out as gay. Worst comes to worse they avoid talking about firearms in front of me. They have before and that's how I found out some are fairly anti-gun. I don't think it will be an issue.

I'm not back. Just got out of a Lebanese prison under the suspicion of arms smuggling, and sodomy. But really just got married, had a kid, and had some problems with the revenues Canada so I've been staying away from that place.

Just stopping by to see if anyone is still being faggots. I guess Squid must have got his dick touched finally and sold all his worthless gear and guns, I can only hope.

Is it actually an A2?

>>32305678
but I DID admit I was wrong you blind mong holy shit. This is why I'm combative, your either just trolling or fail to see that I already addressed everything your saying.

>>32305562
you asked this last thread and someone told you to look at feedback because they use stock photos so it's hard or impossible to guess without feedback

Sick life. I haven't been back in almost a year, miss my dogs and miss fucking hortons. The rest of it can generally go fuck itself. I need to find myself a new state myself. 99% of my life is in China now but I would like to buy a home I can freedom the fuck out at every few months.

Also I was talking about your DBAL lol

>>32305752
Can only recommend Canadian ones but 911supply.ca, Dstactical, and CTOMS are my go to

>>32305813
Man I'm fucking dumb, but I bought it off my friend down south because he ended up with a few of them. So possibly got it from who you're referencing.
And I'd like to check out Oregon

>>32305498
I made my profile picture me holding an AR and it was my most liked profile picture by far with 140 likes or so.

>>32305669
Ignore the bleeding hearts. Ignore the normies. Focus on your actual friends. All of my genuine friends know I shoot, know I'm conservative, and know I own guns.

At a "friendsgiving" party I recently came out to them that I voted Trump. I was received quite well actually.

You don't need to invite them to the range. It isn't about converting them. The first step is just to help them accept that part of you.

>>32305669
>I genuinly wish you good luck finding interesting or meaningful work
Thank you this means a lot.

>>32305894
See that doesnt work for everybody though. People like me who live in NYC would say something and thats it. GG no RE my life is over. Stop pushing your life on others, it doesn't work that way.

yeah canadian is what i meant. youre the first jocked up canadian ive seen on here. where do i go for guns, wolverine?

>>32305934
uh. Sorry.

I'm from NYC actually. Good friends who live in Brooklyn are actually cool with my firearms ownership. But their entire family is conservative.

>>32305971
WHERE YOU AT?

We could use another rangebro

>>32305955
Mostly local places, I'm not huge on buying guns that I can't place my hands on.
Wolverine is good though has a good selection of stuff.

>>32305980
Sorry buddy
From NYC
Left about 5.5 years ago.

Good luck though. My NG friend goes shooting with his buds from College Republicans sometimes.

You talking about andy? Or which faggot McGhee

>>32306258
>andy

thats a name that should never be used around here again. Dude fucked over everybody he came across.

>>32306258
I was talking about the Austistic midget.

But I remember Andy was doing shady shit.

>>32306283
Haha! Really?

>>32306300
Yeah, he either delivered the wrong product, never delivered the product or just plain stole money. I vouched for the faggot and got burned. He owes me 100 bucks and while its not much he still fucked up with /k/.

never trust a ginger.

Looking at a bfg dump pouch.

What's a good holster for my 19 to put on it?

>>32306344
Are we talking about the same andy here? I'm talking about the ginger with the webstore from years ago.

>>32306358
WHat kind of belt?

>>32306321
Best SEAL team.

They deserved to win.

A true fucking patriot.

Willing to spend time in prison and never travel outside the US again so the foreign hoards can play dress up.


>>32306314
Scummy and that's coming from me.

>>32306392
The cheapest belt that ronin tactics makes.

>>32304469
Good for getting gay Europeans to hit on you.

>>32306344
yeah i got both, thanks

>>32306371
Yeah he's always delivered with me.
>>32306421
Welp I have no idea, not anyone that I interacted seriously with apparently

>>32306557
Your the only one that I know of then. I've never heard anything good about him over the years. Cheers to you that you make it work but I've even talked to /k/ommandos in person who have nothing but bad to say.

I'm sorry fellas, but I come here on occasion, not a true creeper of /k/. Can you tell me what that means?

>>32306692
Was it worth it? I've been seriously considering OCS. I graduated college, did really good, but at a pretty average State school, at least for my major (Finance/Economics). I'm 24 now at a shitty office job. Every person in my family was in the military, women too (Former Balkan communist shithole), and I've always been interested but for some reason just never took the plunge. I want to to get my masters, but I also want to serve.

>>32306970
it means go to that /meg/ thread if you want to talk about military. Come here to talk about gear

>>32306663

>>32306663
Never served but i wear the uniform/unit patches as a respectful homage

>>32306663
I pretend to be enlisted, by buying gear and looking the part.

It smells like catfood in my apartment and I have no idea why. Guys am I going to die?

>>32307294
>>32307330
Guys which one of these are genuine military surplus from china, the one with three or the one with four tall pouches?
Or are they both genuine and just different variations?
Also, are the ones from loklode genuine?

>>32302302
why have a variable 1-6x and a fixed 1x?

why not go for something like 3-9x and a fixed 1x

>>32307395
Because he is queer gear, not a soldier.

Because switching to the red dot is incredibly faster and the 1-6 options on the market offer great eye relief and FoV

I don't know if I'm sold on the idea of using a non-standard position when in comes to close up reaction shooting.

>>32308093
whats the thing on the bolt release?

>>32308277
Just looks like an extended release.
>>32308253
Your head position doesn't change, you just tilt the rifle. I mean it's almost better than using a piggy backed red dot like most of Britain does or whoever ran a docter on their ACOG
