Overpriced for what they are. The materials on mine are just OK. Stitches are very large so I don't think they'll hold up well under heavy use.

So, /gq/, I've been thinking of some experimental setups lately. Pretty much every single piece of gear I have has been customized to some degree and adapted, tweaked to my own tastes, with a fair lot of stuff being fully custom from the very beginning.

Anyways, this picture made me think. Could it work out? In theory, the magazine layout would give the advantage of being able to go flatter and closer to the ground, which is sorta vital in combat, however the issue is that reloading mags in that position would require one to rise up to access them, thus negating the advantage altogether. However, I can think of ways to circumvent that issue, mostly, slapping mags on the belt, or maybe fancier solutions like lumbar panels or Crye's horizontal mag pouch on the rear of the PC.

However I am pretty sure I haven't entirely thought this thing out, so alternative viewpoints would be nice.

tl;dr could pic related work

>>32491580
That's retarded. There's nothing besides friction with the pouch stopping the mags from falling forwards.

>>32491629
FASTmags have enough friction to keep them in place, even upside down. Though if I did it, I would use Tacos instead - well adjusted Tacos would keep the mags in place very well, though I would also likely add bungee retention on top just in case.

What's a realistic wait time for items i buy on ebay from a seller in Russia?
I want to buy a pair of Russian camos but i keep hearing horror stories of dreadful customs waiting time.
The seller has 300+ positive feedback so i am not too worried about getting scammed, but im not sure if i want to have it order to my home or jobsite since i travel back and forth between them every other month and no one is there to get the package for me.

>>32491836
nothing to be sorry about, those are AR15 mags in the rig, after all, I was just too lazy to fill the chest rig with scar17s mags.

>cutting weight edition
Ideal pack weight is 1/6-1/4 your body weight, so how would /k/ use their ideal pack weight? (1/3 if you're pretty fit or not running around all day)
shamelessly tallying my weight, I know I can cut somewhere, probably in molle gear, I need a light GAT as well.

40lbs
Individual total Running total
Plate carrier 3.1 lb 3.1 lb
Plates: 14.4 lb 17.5 lb
Molle gear: 3 lb 20.5 lb
Pants/shirt: 3 lb 23.5 lb
Belt gloves boots: 2.5lb 26 lb
6+1 AR mags: 7lb 33 lb
3 pistola mags: ~2lb 35lb
AR+M9a3: 10lb 45 lb

5 over isn't bad, but it needs cutting, 20lb alone in guns and ammo...

>>32492437
why 3 pistol mags? does that count the one in the gun?

>>32492482
Yeah, sorry
2+1

I'm also using the unloaded weights of the gats.

>>32492483
so far as i can tell most people don't count their clothing weight and boots into their pack weight.

>>32492516
>dont count their clothing weight
Because most people's clothing is nothing compared to the total, I did it for completion.

Also
>Try that when your clothing total is >20lb of winter gear

>>32492525
just saying
i wouldn't be concerned with being 5 lbs over if the 5 pounds come from clothes and boots

if you think about it after you add sustainment gear the weight of some BDUs is negligible.

one thats an videogame armor carrier. the cummberbund of a pc is usually smaller and sits higher, so idk id you could stack two mags or reach the mags on your suppor side quickly

you lose capacity and you make it harder to reach your belt line. Now your ifak and radio need a new place to go because the cummberbund is taken

basically, that's dumb video game shit

>>32492874
This.

No offence anon, but that also seems really dumb since the chances of your magazines spaghetti'ing all over the place and falling out are also greatly increased.

>Now your ifak and radio need a new place to go because the cummberbund is taken

Unless you're planning on jamming everything else on your belt then having cummerbund space all used for 4 mags in total seems really inefficient and wasteful when you can pack 6 mags onto just the front of a PC using a triple wide double mag pouch.

DONT YOU EVER SPEAK FOR ME AGAIN!
But seriously, if I was looking to shave weight, armor would be the first to go. More armor necessitates more water because of sweating. Besides plates have such a small coverage area.

>>32493504
>if I was looking to shave weight, armor would be the first to go

You said just drop the plates. What you probably meant was to just go with a chest rig then, which is a pretty good option for innawoods or innamountains.

>Besides plates have such a small coverage area.
Coincidentally that "small coverage area" is the "poke holes here for ded" area
Most of your body is non-critical.
Most of the area covered by a plate is critical.

>>32493504
there are ways to cut weight other than going without plates. for example there are plates that cost 4x as much as my plates and weigh 1/2 as much for the same armor rating. I can carry fewer magazines, wear less pouches

>>32493527
No fucking shit. I know what a cardiac box is. And that small coverage area really only works when squared off with the guy shooting you. That and I've seen too many cases of dehydration and heat exhaustion from too much armor. Freedom of movement makes you more of a threat than being a tortoise with knee and lumbar spine problems.

>>32493613
>less magazines
What do you consider an ideal amount of mags then?

>>32493614
You seem to think that hydration packs aren't a thing or are too cumbersome to haul around yet basically everyone does it just fine.

Also that <20lb of plates now means you're wearing the full US Army SAPI suit for vehicles. The entire point to a carrier is to be as mobile as possible while giving you reasonable yet critical protection.
No one's going to dispute you that dropping plates is a great way to cut weight but
>Oh look this meme again
No one's fucking Jason Bourne or in the Splinter Cell series. You're not some sort of spec ops tier ninja woods warrior that is one with the bushes.

It's up to you what route you take. Not being shot at is a fantastic way to not get shot, but that's not always an option especially if you aren't ninja woods warrior that can avoid all detection and conflict in a SHTF or "defend your castle" situation.

>>32492609

>>32493626
I wouldn't go below 6+1 for shoot out and self defence rig.

For bugout 3+1 is fine imo.
If you really wanna save weight then use a 9mm carbine or something and you can pack 2x the mags for the same weight.

>>32493719
Have you ever worn full armor in hot conditions?

>>32493735
Thank you

>>32493793
I'm fortunate enough to live where the hottest temperature is 25-30 C
Maybe that's where the disconnect is if you live in Arizona or something.

I just roll up my pants and sleeves and I'm generally fine running around like that, granted I run a fairly light carrier + belt load.

There's your problem, that's a "gonna suppress an entire village at the same time" kit. Not exactly your average civvie LBE + 16lb of plates and an AR kit.

>>32493909

>>32493937
What do you consider a bug out rig.

>>32493626
4+1. Right now I carry more in my pack, but I want to get some stripper clips and a speed loader.

I have a "heavy" system too for 11+1 too

>>32493959
Anything that will fit into a BOB.
Completely depends on time of leave, environment, and level of self dependency required or what you're bugging out from.

That's an extremely complicated question.

Mostly for fun and to see where my skills are at in relation to others. I don't shoot nearly as much as I'd like and consequently I'm not the best shooter, I don't suck but there is always room to get better. I couldn't even aim a pistol when I first got mine, but I've gotten much better because I shoot it a lot more at the indoor ranges near me since my land is so far away. Competitions are a good way to see where you can improve and train reflexes in a controlled environment

>>32494190
Yes, work the basics. There are a couple different ways to position your gun and they all have pluses and minuses to them. Tucking the buttstock under your armpit gives you maximum stability but is slower

vs

keeping the gun shouldered and angeling it towards the incoming mag. Much faster but less stability.

You need to choose a style that fits what you do. A lot of people work at BLAZE OPS FAST reloads and few people bother to practice reloading how you actually do it

>cramped behind a wall or cover trying to keep your body small
or
>Backed off away from a corner trying not to flag a team mate who is now covering that corner.
or

It is for this reason that I practice and get fast and the flashy reloads like everyone, but also work from every imaginable position.

Good advice, I think a lot of people really neglect the awkward reloads. I used to play a lot of paintball when I was younger, and it's nothing like reloading a real gun, but I was never in a situation where I was just standing up straight reloading. I was always ducked behind something or moving in an awkward position. One thing I need to practice is reloading from all my different pouches on my PC and belt.

>>32494139
Hi, about the dump pouches, here's my personal take on it.
My AR is designed for precision. I shoot prone a lot. When you're prone, getting a mag out of a PC pouch is easy, you just have to grab it and pull. Getting a mag back in is impossible (I haven't tried ALL pouches, but that's what I experienced with paraclete and tacos). Instead, I just grab the mag and put it in my dump pouch behind my butt. Easy as pie.

Another reason is that I hunt, and I like picking up stuff, instead of having to look for it later. Therefore, brass, empty mags, snack wrappers,etc.. go in the pouch, and I can quickly move on. The practicality of a dump pouch outweighs the bulk drawback, and in terms of weight, I deem it to be negligible.

Your setup looks to be designed for pure gunfighting, maybe 2 guns, who knows. I'm a civilian doesn't just shoot in ranges, I go outdoors, I walk a lot, I pick up stuff (fruit, tinder, cool rocks), and wear a backpack. So no, I'm not high speed low drag, but I have enough on me to be independent and operational for 3 days, up to a week. Not just the gunfight itself.

How much do you practice or carry smokes (for work), senior tripfag?

I've found them to be highly useful for many situations, and being not terribly dangerous it's not horribly unacceptable to hang them Hollywood style off your gear.

And thermites are useful too. Not as many are needed, but a single one per fireteam can have its uses. Just be safe around the purple ones, they are likely to asplode rather than burn properly.

>>32494854

Not the most legal of things...

That's an update on the Blackhawk RRV concept. Retarded for many reasons.

A better solution is a dedicated plate carrier with either a detachable panel that turns into a chest rig (TAPS or similar) or wearing a dedicated chest rig over a slick PC. Jamming a single front plate into a chest rig is the worst of both worlds.

Reposting from the other thread that died: local militaria/surplus store is closing down and had a 70% off sale yesterday, picked up a set of TRU-SPEC (meh-tier at best, I know) ACUs in MC Tropic just to test it.

Seems like it'll work well here in Florida, but I can guarantee it's way too dark for summer, which sucks.

I thought it was supposed to be saturated as well, but I think most pictures are just oversaturated or show it at an angle where the shadows and light complement the uniform (which is perfectly acceptable because Multicam is meant to work based on shadows and light) but without any lighting it's extremely dark. Like I said, it'll work best here in winter because the sun goes down around 3-4pm here but during the summer when the sun stays high and the vegetation is all exposed and bleached I'll stick with the Zhaba.

FLC carries a lot more and if you set it up right, the weight is distributed on the hips.
On the other hand if you have a backpack with a waist belt it's not going to be very comfy.
The chicom is super minimalistic, you're most likely going to need to supplement it with a belt or make modifications to it.

Hey guys. GQ noob here. Was gifted a Condor Rapid Assualt rig for xmas and I just want to know what I can do to optimise it. I've heard Condor ain't great, but it was a gift so whatever. What essentials, given the real estate, should I incorporate into it? I've already ordered a pistol mag pouch to mount (Condor again. Whoops).

I am a poorfag and want to invest in gear when money is more plentiful but I have to make due for now.

My purposes would be SHTF/WROL. Halp, and plz no bully

>>32497400
Chicom is easier to dye, can be modified with detachable clips with or without cutting, and you can even do things like ad a large map pouch behind the rig and live the top of the pouches with elastic. The rig itself is tough yet can be easily sewn due to its cloth construction (so no need for fancy tooling), and doesn't require special synthetic dye so its cheaper to do as well. As far as the limited capacity, it honestly has plenty of space. 6 mags and an IFAK is all you should need in a rig.

>>32497640
Get an IFAK

>>32497640
Sell to a dumb buddy for $80 and buy a chicom, IFAK contents and platypus water bladder.

>>32491654

Fuck this is so painstakingly slow.

>>32494190
Yes. In dry fire, set a shot timer to something like 5 seconds and hit the reloads. If you beat the time cut off 0.1s. When you fail a time, add back 0.2s. This should help you find your limits pretty quick.

I recommend doing the same thing, splitting the reload into two halves:
Part 1: Drop the magazine, draw a new magazine, and line it up with the magwell (don't insert it yet)
Part 2: Insert the magazine, hit the bolt catch if applicable, re-establish your grip, and aim the weapon.

This method allows you to break down the details and get hyperfocused on your mechanics.

On all of these drills I recommend you start without pulling the trigger, as this only adds more confusion initially (did my sights move because I jerked the trigger or was it because I was moving the gun fast?). I would start adding trigger presses in live-fire where you can easily check hits.

If you aren't using a plate carrier or chest rig, no, don't use a combat shirt. It'll get all fucked up by without the coverage.
Get a normal field shirt instead, and tuck it into your pants.I did this when I was in (even with a chest rig) and it was fine, though I'd have preferred a combat shirt if I were always wearing a chest rig.

>no water
Don't do all day stuff, and even when I do ~5 water bottles are more than enough.

I've been considering a hydration pack but water bottles do basically the same thing but then I can also store other things than JUST water...

>>32502007
maybe if you want nods

stormseeker surplus but expect to swap out the pads and suspension for something actually comfortable

>>32502041
In a ruck sack or something

Try harder :^)

>>32502032
Any smocks that have internal compartments for magazines or individual rounds? I do love smocks, especially if they're lightweight.
What brand is yours? Or is it just milsurp

not sure about your internal pockets question, but the smock is a Silvermans SAS 1940 smock it's a repo of a comfy scudhunter meme

>>32502220
Very noice. I'd probably run a pistol belt with a few small pouches and maybe a fixed blade on it around the mid torso (between the pockets).
Don't Brits do this as their barracks dress?

>>32502220
Nice censored boot.

What belt is that?

It would be hard for me to know about it if I haven't been here for months. You dense or something boy?

Not everyone lurks and reads all of the new /GQ/ threads every day.

>>32502276
This is literally something we all hate. Lurk more.

>Don't Brits do this as their barracks dress?
no idea.
because I like to wear a BFK, I don't put it on the belt unless I'm going to need it. but knife belt positions - mine is usually in the 3-6 o'clock behind my pistol.

Smock bro, this is pretty cheap, and interestingly has height and chest measurements.
Is 2010 Afghan issue of the Brits.

Worth for £45?

soldier 95 British smocks are great.
but they fit like dresses if you don't cinch to the bottom shock cord, aswell that wired hood flap that come with it are hot garbage first thing I do is cut them off to make a normal floppy hood.
