I weighed plates. consistently 7 pounds. I dont know whats going on. There's way too much stress on my shoulders. maybe it's my carrier?
>>32664354
don't you know that cold weather is subjective :^)
i have been lurking for a while and finally want to show some of what i have
i'm in process of getting stuff to replace the rig and secure on pc
going to get less flashy multimeme and more civil looking gear eventually
>>32664388
>>32664388
that's called get lighter plates for your body type. Also supplement this by doing shoulder shrugs with 20lb- 30 lb dumbbells to work your shoulder muscles.
>>32664437
not to make excuses, but I did tear my left shoulder in 2014 and 2015, so there's lots of chronic pain/weakness. Ive worn iotvs for longer and felt better. I my shoulders feel like I just did a 12 mile ruck. now my back and knees dont, but my shoulders are dying.
and its not like I dont do shoulder work outs. I do plently of shoulder presses and bar pull downs
>>32664388
Have you considered getting some shoulder pads?
>>32664478
shit man that fucking sucks. All I can recommend is going lighter on plates and getting the best padded shoulder system out there. SKD makes a good padded shoulder system might help a little bit. But you need to cut some weight on your vest if you can. I don't know what color you need but here you go. If you already have a set then i'm stumped until I see the vest.

I have pig brig mk2 pads
I bought this pc at end of 2015, 2 months after I tore shoulder the second time. without the shoulder pads it was so bad back then wearing the pc for 5 minutes would cause incredible pain
>>32664601
You might just be fucked. Remove plates and try running just some weight in there and see if removing weight would even help
>>32664609
I want to blame it on my gear, because thats the easier fix.
GT when is the FFI review you promised 4 months ago going to actually happen
>>32664645
See a physiotherapist mang.
Dad dislocated his shoulder playing hockey and had it promptly relocated by ems 15 minutes later. Wasn't able to use his right arm to lift stuff heavier than ~30lbs and he's a very large man. Went to a year of physio therapy and his shoulder's a lot better now, he can use his right arm normally now.
>>32664601
you might want to try HSGI shoulder pad or Mayflower Armor Carrier Padded Shoulder Pieces
they have a larger surface area and will distribute the weight better arcross your shoulders.
No plates.
No problems.
Holes make you more aerodynamic.
>>32664695

Damn I am really sorry to hear about your injury. Injuries suck.
Did some operating today with a friend. What do you guys think about holding the magwell of an AR with your supporting hand? I found myself doing it several times after transitioning to shooting after short sprints. Maybe it is my little Trex arms but my VFG felt too far away.
Also I did some kneeling shooting and decided I need some sort of knee pads. Obviously the CRYE integrated knee pads are cool but what other options are out there?
Also I borrowed my friends USGI flight gloves and they worked quite well. Decent dexterity. I was able to load mags with them on etc, and it was realitively cold, maybe 30 degrees F. Anyone here try the Magpul ones? Anyone know of a similar glove? The leather palms and fingers really appeal to me so that the gloves can dual duty for camp work.

>>32664746
I'm sorry to hear that.
If you can't even run a chest rig because of your shoulder then maybe a bandolier would be the best choice as well as a good belt set up. Keep the load off your bad shoulder.
In anyone needs a reference for IFAK setups.

my nigga, you're so close to having a flawless kit but...where's the TP?
What's the most likley type of vest I need, I need to buy me something I can wear every day and is not too bulky, something I can get stab plates for and that can stop most handgun rounds.
I need some advice I'm beginning work in a high risk area as security...
>>32664966
chest rigs are fine no problem. and I can ruck march. so my pc that has 14 pounds of plates hurts just as bad if not worse than a 35 pound ruck. it doesnt make sense

Assuming you want MUH LOW PROFILE GREYMAN. Just get a backpack. For serious. Anything that's on an "approved operator greyman" list online sticks out like a sore thumb.
I've had a Targus backpack for like 5 years and it's held up fine to "EDC". This is an everyday pack, but it's not an innawoods or deployment pack, so it should be durable but requiring 9001D Cordura for something you are slinging around on campus or on the subway isn't really necessary.
If you still want something ULTRA STRONK, go to REI and buy a daypack. Plenty of Northface and similar shit. Just get civilian stuff, not stuff marketed as "LOW PROFILE TO BLEND IN WITH CIVILIANS OHRAH!" stuff.

Bump for questions:
What do you guys think about holding the magwell of an AR with your supporting hand? I found myself doing it several times after transitioning to shooting after short sprints. Maybe it is my little Trex arms but my VFG felt too far away.
Also I did some kneeling shooting and decided I need some sort of knee pads. Obviously the CRYE integrated knee pads are cool but what other options are out there?
Also I borrowed my friends USGI flight gloves and they worked quite well. Decent dexterity. I was able to load mags with them on etc, and it was realitively cold, maybe 30 degrees F. Anyone here try the Magpul ones? Anyone know of a similar glove? The leather palms and fingers really appeal to me so that the gloves can dual duty for camp work.

>What do you guys think about holding the magwell of an AR with your supporting hand? I found myself doing it several times after transitioning to shooting after short sprints. Maybe it is my little Trex arms but my VFG felt too far away.
It will not cause any mechanical malfunctions. I do not prefer it though because it reduces stability, especially for rapid followup shots. Try moving your VFG back by a hand's length and using it as a handstop rather than gripping it.
>Also I borrowed my friends USGI flight gloves and they worked quite well. Decent dexterity. I was able to load mags with them on etc, and it was realitively cold, maybe 30 degrees F.

Flight gloves are excellent. They come in black, tan, and brown as well if you don't like the standard green.
Hatch makes good dexterous gloves with a thin kevlar underside.
>>32668429
Dawww, making me blush.
Magwell grip is fine. If you can make your hits, who cares?
Tried their flight gloves on. They're good, but for the price I can get 3-4 nomex flight gloves.
>>32668429
>Also I did some kneeling shooting and decided I need some sort of knee pads. Obviously the CRYE integrated knee pads are cool but what other options are out there?
Arcteryx or integrated soft pads like I was running.

>What do you guys think about holding the magwell of an AR with your supporting hand? I found myself doing it several times after transitioning to shooting after short sprints. Maybe it is my little Trex arms but my VFG felt too far away.
Here's my mentality, if you need to shoot NOW and it's faster to get your hand on the mag well, put your hand on the fucking mag well. If your vfg feels like it's too far out, move it back a bit. I'm 5'8" and use a fully extended stock and reach out almost to the end of my 15" handguard. Hand placement depends on the situation and your body in conjunction with the gun.

Been toying with the idea of picking up some plates and a carrier again because autism and delusion...what do you queers think of this one?

>>32669984
Grey shop is fine to order from but they have anti-competitive practices and frequently try to get their competitors arrested or put out of business.

That would be great if I was associated with them at all but I infact dont give a shit where he buys it from.
>>32670018
Have tried on in person (with plates) and it is pretty comfy. Guy who runs the gear store up the road from me highly recommends them and uses one personally. Probably my next carrier.
>>32670046
Awesome. Figure the lowpro option(s) with the D3 plugged in would work well on my end, seems pretty comfy from the looks of it.
>>32670078
Going to be a sweet setup once you get the D3 clipped on it. Make sure your read into the cumberbund options because there are a whole pile of them. If you are going to run the D3 100% of the time you can also look into https://www.velsyst.com/low-vis-carrier.html since its the exact carrier sans webbing and equally as comfy irl
>>32670018
What gun bag is that?
>>32670115
>https://www.velsyst.com/low-vis-carrier.html
I was looking at that one as well, but the LEPC seems more modular in case I want to change up in the future or convert to on-carrier dedicated pouches and molle and the likes. For the same price the LEPC seems more flexible without any drawbacks.
I'd opt for the CBN1 simple elastic cummerbund on either.

Pretty much phased out all my soft armor stuff except for concealment,face protection and shoulder padding. But that is getting replaced with SB117 dyneema( The top of the line IIIA soft armor dyneema). which is light years ahead of spectra and has enough layers and specialized coating to prevent issues with contact shots.down side is its expensive as all hell about 560 for just shoulder inserts and face inserts.

I feel like if your gonna spend money on NVG's you might as well do it right. I dont understand the 'entry' 'starter' stuff. I mean if your plan is to end up moving up then why spend the money on Gen1 with low resale value.
3k is a lot. Especially to cough up for night vision. But if this is one of your only hobbies that relatively moderate/cheap in the grand scheme of things. I mean people buy 10k ATVs and jetskis all the time.

I love collecting Combloc gear. Be it Soviet, Yugo, Chicom and so on.
Iv collected a great deal of chest rigs and mag pouches and uniforms. But it has come to my attention that I have no RPG carriers or backpacks.
Im just starting to do research into them but I thought I would ask you guys of you know anything about them! Sadly I'v not been able to find much about them via the google.
>>32664398
What kind of bag is that?
>>32674264
Direct Action Ghost
Bought some Keen Targhee's the other day. I like them a lot, light, comfortable, and fit my wide feet.
Problem is the pair I bought is the black olive/yellow color. It has these yellow accents. Should I return it for the shitake/brindle color?
Or is this a stupid concern?

>>32665162
I'm too drunk to type more, but everything about you disgusts me.
>>32674392
Personally it doesn't look like that big of a deal. Unless your super careful and concerned about being 100% camoflauged. Your feet will probably be covered by little brush anyway
You should've got the other color, but I don't think it's a big deal desu
>>32673570
right? in my experience, foam plugs underneath or else prepare to get EEEE'd
>>32674024
admittedly, for electronic earpro they're an amazing value and great for shooting handguns. But I almost always double up when shooting rifles
>>32671522
how easy to don/doff? If that rackminus is reversible the coyote would contrast real nice
>>32672588
well, some fags like babywipes.
nothing wrong with that I guess
I mean, if I had the choice I...n-nevermind
>>32674539
Yeah I agree, I don't think it is a big deal. I like the rest of the color scheme more anyway.
Any ideas on the best way to black out those yellow accents though? They also have reflective strips in them that I would really like not to have.
If anyone here has real wide feet I can say that the Keen Targhees in a size up should fit well. I'm a 12 4E wide normally, and the Keen 13 fits well.
>>32674888
maybe a black paint pen and use that on the laces?
>>32674143
>no RPG carriers or backpacks
>via the google
Hadji pls go
Queers, I think I fucked up. I impulse bought a Rush 12 backpack for $85 in sandstone and it's autistic as FUCK. I should have gotten black, I can't actually use this pack for anything.
What do? Return shipping is expensive and that shit adds up fast. Try to sell it locally?
>>32675402
>I can't actually use this pack for anything.
It's flat tan, who cares? At least it's not multicam or some shit.
Just use it as a one day pack if you ever actually leave the city.
Otherwise yeah just sell it locally.
>>32675402
what's so autistic about it?
>>32675452
He wanted to pretend to be a soldier in trashcanistan but lives in the suburbs or some other urban area. The backpack doesn't work with his environment and if he wears it then it's obvious he's just role playing.
>>32675542
This pretty much hits the nail on the head.
It looked cool and all my other gear is faggot tan. But as soon as I opened the box I realized I spent $85 on a backpack I can never fucking use for anything other than going to the range.
>>32675634
Maybe it's an incentive to go to the range more?
You could also use it as an EDC gear bag if you have a vehicle.
>>32675634
Well then use it for that, you'll never use any of your other LARPing gear for anything but the range too
>>32675402
Put it in your car full of tendies
>>32675671
except my other gear is all surplus and a cheap as chips chest rig
>>32675655
>>32675715
>gear bag if you have a vehicle
best idea. Considering mine gets carried to/from my house 95% of the time in this capacity, you should be able to keep it from the scornful eye of the public
>>32675402
It looks fine to me. If it bothers you that much, turn it into a range or bugout bag.
What is a good pack to wear with a plate carrier? I have a medium assault pack but it feels really restrictive and large. Should I just go with a day pack? would something around the size of the picture attatched work?
>>32674624
I had comtac iis innastan and always doubled up. Still have ear problems from time to time. Thanks arty.
>>32676467
You didn't double up on earpro? Also you'd think they'd hand you something a little more heavy duty for arty.
>>32676507
I did double up, and you'd think that wouldn't you.
>>32676587
I would seeing as you're a few meters away from a very loud bang every day for extended periods of time.

I actually think this camo works good for southeast winters.
I'm considering changing my IFAK pouch to one of the zippper types. Removed back section since there's no point anymore since backpack covers that area anyways, and it's way too big with the back panel on.
What other pouches should I add, especially for that large area on my left side? I was thinking of a holster and pistol mag pouches, but it's very awkward to draw from there with my right hand.
>>32676906
You should probably switch to a useful rifle before wasting time on gear . Where in the world do you live that an enfield is your combat loadout?

Shit, but would probably be my remaining choice for a 5.56 semi auto rifle. I'm aware of the SCR but paying $500 for a lower is fucking retarded.
>MVP, Gunsight
Bolt action
>>32677078
Mini is actually a decent rifle as much as you hear about them.
The MVP and the gunsight have detachable big boy magazines that will actually fit into modern LBE
>>32677104
I've heard the old ones were inaccurate shit and the new ones are slightly less inaccurate shit.
>>32671511
That actually looks really comfy IMO.
crossing to a more appropriate thread re: Direct Action Ghost pack
>>32671217
>>32671339
What's the consensus on it? I've been wanting to get one but I wanted to see if it was not-shit.
>>32677114
The new ones had barrel contour of a sporting/fudd rifle so as you got them hot they would start stringing (like any other fudd designed rifle). The newer ones have a heavier barrel that helps get them down to around 2.5-3 MOA out of the box. Throw on an accustrut and you will get 2 MOA easy. Look at nutnfancy's videos on Minis for some more info about them. If I was in california you bet your ass I would own a mini14.
Case studies where mini14 has paid off:
>That one HK employee who killed a bunch of rednecks with one
>Anders brevik
>1986 Miami shootout
All but one of those involved one of the oldschool "inaccurate" "shitty" mini rifles.
>t. Former mini30 owner

Looking for some recommendations for a chest rig and backpack combo. What i need is pretty specific so i need some help as i'm just getting into gear.
I need the combo to be fairly lightweight, no need for a plate carrier as I would be using the set for hunting.
I need to be able to retain good mobility because I'll be shooting while wearing the set.
I need decent size on the pack because ill be carrying some bulky items like a tent as well as a set of waders.
Chest rig doesn't need to be overly huge, just need it be large enough for holding loose ammo and a few other items like compass, flashlight, maps, lighters, and other things.
Id also like to be able to carry a radio on the chest rig because my buddy and I usually split up to cover larger areas, but we need to maintain communications.
Also would like to keep the combo under 250 if possible because college is balls deep in my bank account.
If you fellas have any suggestions id really appreciate it!

One more thing, should i be concerned about a backpack interfering with a chest rig or do they usually not clash
>>32681809
They usually do not clash, unless you're being a retard with adjustments.
>>32681809
Not a big deal. I'd get a plastic buckle for the back of a chicom as the default knot might be a bit too noticeable feeling with a pack on.
Other cheap option is a FLC, which give you more room to attach things and tactical MOLLE for higher speed operating. They work well when you don't care about armor. You can get a UCP whole set with pouches for chea on eBay. Just dye or paint over the moon camo and voila.

depends, usually bring field rations and a thermos, heat water by either making a fire or using a jetboil. Also have an aluminium canteen cup if I need to heat any hunted or brought food.

What belly bag thing?
>>32673188
Well if anyone cares, I think I'm going to buy a set of Peltor tactical 100s. It seems like they're basically the same as the impact pros, but some say they're more comfy. Since I already had the impact pros I might as well try these.

i'm sure there are much better radios out there but baofengs are cheap as dirt and they work.

Don't drink and post.
I found a new condition waist belt for my Hellcat ruck. The one sold by oldgrouch is NOT new condition. Last thing to get is a set of tan replacement buckles so all the buckles are the same color. Most sellers can't tell between 499 tan and coyote tan though. The quick detach tails for the shoulder straps are IMPOSSIBLE to find. The best I can do is get the male buckle and have some OD webbing sewn together. It will look kind of like the short lived Gen-IV woodland MOLLE ruck, but with the 1606MC airborne assault frame and a medium woodland ALICE pack. The pack is going to TT for some upgrades, too.
>>32684077
>>32684057
the clip or the battery?
the extended batteries are great, they sell the radios with extended batteries and a charger on amazon.

It's not bad. I haven't actually taken it out shooting yet, but it's just the two swiftclips in the front and the waist strap. Kind of makes the pack specific to the whole setup though, without the rack I have two long straps with the swiftclips woven in.

Don't use spray paint. Spray paint cracks on nylon gear on the moving folds and looks super ugly. It's fine in really light doses as a stencil pattern but I'd really recommend against it on nylon or other fabrics.
If you want to use Spray paint then you should probably use Krylon and finely layer it.
