For the love of Jesus, thank you.
Fuck you using your gear is stupid; that's how it gets worn.
>>32914178
The problem is that really isn't an excuse. Vague questions don't really promote discussion because nobody wants to answer questions with a million possible answers.
A scalable plate carrier would be something like a JPC: minimalist enough that it's tiny when nothing is attached but can be built up with a decent loadout while still being somewhat comfortable. Full size would be something like an AVS where even when you drop all of the pouches and shit off of it you've still got a heavily padded, large plate carrier that isn't optimal for concealment or anything other than a full-out war setup.
Scalable is good all around but will always be less comfortable than a full sized plate carrier. They also tend to be cheaper simply because they don't require as much padding or material overall as a full size.
/k/ used to have infographs back when there were dedicated people who wanted to make and maintain them, but I don't think /gq/ has ever had one because of how in depth and autistic this shit can get. There are a lot more brands to worry about and a lot more styles to be debated.
SOE or VTAC riggers belt? Wanting to run it as a standalone not as part of a battle belt if that makes a difference.
>>32914274
There is also this wonderful thing called the pastebin
>>32914276
Get me article pictures reeeee
>>32914293
I'm waiting for a day with good lighting to take better pictures of just gear alone. I'm going to try for tomorrow.
>>32914301
Good
Still need ifak for belt but it's not really mine.
>>32914313
>>32914314
Also, a note to anyone who runs a thick ass belt like me. As much as I like it for shooting paper and doing drills after using it for actual movement and reacting to "fire" it is a huge pain in the ass to bend over or get in any weird positions, just some food for thought.
>>32914327
>inb4 some stupid ass comment for this post/picture
haha time for shitty pictures because its raining like a mother fucker out
Veste de combat felin TS3 here we goooo
Its not quite a gorka, its not quite a PCU system but it is something in the middle. Its heavy but breathes, its fabric as fuck but repels and resists wind and water like a dive suit. I'll have to check it in the snow but honestly this thing just trucks on through it all. French combat smock. Lets look at the autism this features because there is plenty.
>>32914340
What plate carrier is that?
>>32914352
There are infinity + 10 fucking velcro spots, buttons and zippers. There's plenty of adjusters and straps to go with it all. This contours to my feminine slender asian body perfectly yet feels like a size too big. Its a combat smock so the cargo pockets should go right under your plate carrier anyways.
Featured here is the buttpouch because lord knows french have fat asses that need their own goddamn pouches.
>>32914370
Not only can you open it from the top, but you can open it from the sides. Not only is it 1 giant ass pouch but it can be separated into 2 giant ass pouches!
>>32914381
What this accomplishes besides destroys your ability to sit? I have no idea.
>>32914276
Thanks for giving me a direction to go in.
>>32914293

What did he mean by this
w2c Sweatshirt
>>32914386
Think its too flabby on your arm? It has a bungee thing that attaches to MORE VELCRO to tighten it up so you don't look like a retarded fatass! Think the cuff is too large? Theres velcro almost 360 degrees around the fucking thing to cut off circulation to your hands!
>>32914391
The fuck more do you want in the pastebins? It's got a list of approved gear and an IFAK guide. You want me to tell you how to apply moral patches or some shit?
And why the fuck are you tripping?
>>32914231
PC a shit, chest rig only master race
>>32914404
Pocket first then there's a pouch for some gucci as fuck elbow inserts that I forgot to take pictures of to show you but you know those X knee pads everybody copied me after I got? Well I got some of those with this thing for elbow pads. The french really want to protect their elbows.

So many elastics in this if you put it in a drier it would turn into a ball of rubber.
>>32914436
Evidently I have the 1472 one made too
>>32914450
so close to 1488 but yet so far.
>>32914450
oh and its a t4s1 and I have severe dyslexia.
Armpit hole so when you stink you can let it all out and share with the squad
>>32914461
Oh man 1488 get would have been a real keeper.
Not just a button to hold the flap down, not just 1 thing of velcro BUT AS MUCH AS THEY COULD PUT ON. That being said theres a tiedown in there so you can tie your parachute to yourself and fly away in the hurricanes I guess. What do you even attach to these things?
>>32914482
and last image, you'd think these were for knees but nope. Elbow INSERTS.
>>32914381
>>32914386
>What this accomplishes besides destroys your ability to sit? I have no idea.
This is called a "gibecière" pouch. It's derived from the pouches hunting jackets have/had, and is basically a dump/GP pouch for when you're wearing the vest only.
It was removed for T4S1 and T4S2, I believe.
>>32914511
Nevermind it was removed for T4S2, not T4S1.
>>32914511
WELL FUCK YOU MR. I KNOW EVERYTHING OK? OK?!! All the cargo pockets sit right under my plate carrier. I can use my smock as a battle belt system I love it.
You like too? come to nuggetfest and touch it~

Use the pastebin you dolt, they exist for a reason. We can help further by you having a less vauge request. Whats the mission? Gear is mission determined.
>>32914411
You are so angry right now.
There's just a lot that could be put in the pastebin.
Backpack options, camo options, pouch options.
What brands are good and what brands to stay away from.
Weapon attachments, what are good and what to stay away from.
There's a lot that could be added.
I'm not tripping, just trying to get my bearings. No need to get angry, guy.
>>32914574
Sorry, I have a girlfriend.
>>32914621
>Backpack options, camo options, pouch options.
I'll give you that
>What brands are good and what brands to stay away from.
You can assume any of the plate carrier brands listed are good to go, it's pretty simple, don't buy airsoft brands
>Weapon attachments, what are good and what to stay away from.
This is a gear thread
>I'm not tripping, just trying to get my bearings. No need to get angry, guy.
Do you know what tripping is?
>>32914482
Maybe the button is for an insert pocket the button down and pull out.
>>32914648

okay. I'll give a specific example.
2 Assumptions:
Without rule of law scenario.
You have somewhere to go sleep, eat, and shit.
You have a Main Weapon, a backup weapon, and a knife.
Threat level is inevitable combat with different combatants ranging from thugs from inner cities to cartel members, but not something as advanced as squads or paramilitary.
Bonus: Try to be Gray Man
What do you take with you to go from location point a to point b?
Terrain ranges from back roads to outskirts of city.

>>32914777
not mad. just curious.
What about SKD's Pig plate carrier system?
It looks pretty adaptable. Would that fit under a softshell jacket?
I like the idea of slick pc but would want something that I could add utility to.
>>32914802
https://www.asmc.com/Clothing/Headwear/Miscellaneous/Helmets-accessories/Helmet-Cover-TacGear-CCE-p.html

>>32914869
but that wont fit on an ACH, this will.
>>32914829
the SKD pig is a bit too overt for concealing, there are better options.
Do you want kevlar and plates or just plates?
>>32914888
I mean if you already have an ACH, then sure.
>>32914898
Of course I have a 600 dollar set up helmet. What kind of faggot doesnt spend insane amounts of money on the least civ useful part?
>>32914890
Probably just plates. I don't want to carry 50lbs in armor alone.
Anyone know how to size a AWS riggers belt? I am looking all over their website but I don't know what size belt to get. I typically wear around a 32 or 34 size pants.
>>32914907
the 6b45 has kevlar and with 5a plates is about 13 pounds. CIRAS is about 17 pounds with 3a kevlar and level 4 standalones.
>>32914911
Sound like a medium
but give them a call and they're tell you about how the sizes run.
>>32914941
>give them a call
lol wonder why I didn't think about that
>>32914929
Neither of those look like they'd fit under a jacket.
Should I give up the gray man aspect of it?
>>32914969
You should give up on gray man entirely
>>32914974
I may give it up, I'm still not sure yet.
But if I do, I'd want a full system like the Crye CAGE or SKD PIG. Something you would see on MARSOC.
>>32914969
no, i was just giving examples of armor carriers. the eagle LVAC is like a low pro CIRAS, would be probably a little less weight than a CIRAS, the ciras doesnt weigh that much in the first place. Kevlar increases the cost though, lvac+kevlar+plates would be 5 or 600 dollars.
>>32914340

How big you trying to get. I've been using Lowe Alpine stuff for serious hiking/camping/hunting since I was a little fag. Generally affordable but lasts a long damn time.
Holy shit when did Gq threads get so nice
Is SKD doing another v-day sale?
Wanna try out some FDTs.
>>32914314
The suspenders seem like Xtreme overkill if all you are putting on the belt is 2 mags and maybe that pistol holster. Removing them may afford you a better feel as you don't have double straps on your shoulders.
What are good brands for "assault packs" and the like?
>>32916096
I don't wear the belt, my battle companion does. It's her primary piece of gear and still in the works.
Been walking her through ifak pouches and what to look for. She's trying to decide on one she likes for about a month know.
>women
>>32916232
USGI stuff is good.
Tactical Tailor, LBT, Camelbak, and Mystery Ranch all make good gear. Another option is to get a civilian daybag from REI, Outdoor Research, Northface (they actually do make decent gear), etc and then buy a camo raincover for the pack to make it more tacticool.

Alright so I am going to grab an AWS lab belt. Just the cobra belt and the inner velcro not all their additional shit. Any last minute reasons for me not to? After that I think I will grab a couple pistol tacos and a fastmag or 2.
>>32917398
>AWS lab belt
Id be curious to read some indepth reviews of their quality. It seems like a cheap version of the tyr/ronin tactics belts. If decent/good quality then id say do it, but if the quality is condor tier then just save your pennies and move up to a better one. Espically if your belt is your 'main kit'. Id rather have one really good belt with really good stuff on it, then a shit belt and shit chest rig combined.
>>32917490
I've been looking around and there seem to be lots of forum posts about their quality but terrible CS. Shipping takes a while and communication is nil but I haven't seen anyone upset with the quality yet.
>>32917530
Interesting, well like I said I would consider just waiting. If your like super poorfag and this is hurting your budget already, then I guess go for it.
The thing with these cheaper belts is, I personally just dont trust them. Like im assuming that belt has a D ring or something to use for hasty repelling, but like would I trust my life to a $50 belt? Im not so sure. However, with the other options (Around 150) I would feel a bit safer.
Again if you plan on only running a belt, id highly recommend just doing it all right the first time around.
>>32917580
Need to restock your electrical tape anon
>>32917576
Thanks for the advice. Looks like there is a positive review out there for the mrgunsngear channel. Never really watched him but he seems like an alright reviewer. I will keep looking for good reviews though. I do agree that the ronin tactics and tyr tactical ones are probably a notch above.
I was planning on using this belt alone for competitions but for /gq/ purposes I would be picking up a plate carrier eventually.
And incidentally I was going to get the option with no D ring because I can't see myself ever needing one.
>>32917644
ah, yeah fair point. I agree I will probably never use it, but it hits my autism jussssst right for /gq/ purposes. If you go ahead with it, let us know when you get it and post some pics

looks nice tho
>>32917794
Using it as a hydration carrier at the moment, it's nice because if you're reasonably flexible the lower pocket can be unzipped and accessed without taking anything off. So you can actually use it reasonably.
>Not zip off
ye ye ye... Didn't feel like fucking with it more than I didn't feel like and I didn't find anything that isn't already proprietary and on a separate carrier and not sold separately.

Please break me off with said knowledge.
>>32917060
blue force gear makes an mp7 rig. The mags are roughly the same dimensions, right?
>>32917490
Advanced warfighting solutions has been in the business a long time making clones of other peoples gear. Unlike condor, their lbt 6094 clone (aws ocpc) has survived deployments. It's double stitched and 1000d cordura, which should be the same standards as old eagle industries gear.
>>32917576
Rappelling with any "gunfighter" belt is generally not recommended.
>>32915110
what's the decay rate for the different kinds of plates, if any? I know literally nothing and I'm a reliability and longevity over all else kind of faggot
>>32917986
I wanted the 6094 in Multimeme tropic when I was first looking at it because of the Multimeme tropic G3 cammies. I'm thankful I didn't.
>Carrier in non base colors / multicam OG. Shiggy Diggy
>It was only available in large
>Multimeme
>>32918001
AWS gear is fairly good, considered buying their copies of the 6094 and Tyr belt went with lbt and ronin instead. Maybe I'm just an idiot but AWS is premium for gear on a budget.
>>32918001
Its not recommended, but its not recommended to get into a firefight either, so i mean obviously its not built for rappelling, but its a faster and easier solution to trying to make a swiss seat in a hurry
>>32918000

Now I know why all the 4 day counselings take so fucking long to get put out. Cause boot video > time off.
On topic, Nike SFBs are awesome, issue boots are high heeled faggotry, and Ive never speedlaced. Ive just tied a knot with the laces and tucked the excess into my boots, and the laces have never come out.
Thoughts on Salomon Quest 4D 2 GTX's?
>>32918010
"Decay rate" when it comes to plates is almost non existent.
>Steel

Why isn't your gear ready for my soldier boy challenge anon?
>>32918312
>>32918314
Thanks guys.
Is the UCR worth the money difference over the Chicom?
Also, the chicom says it can hold 9 USGI mags, will it hold 9 Lancers/PMags as well?
>>32918355
My gear is, I have a duffel bag with the following:
>carrier
>rifle
>pistol
>cammies
>boots
>15 loaded rifle mags + 400 rounds ammo
>6 loaded pistol mags
>replenishment pack (additional first aid, NOD, batteries, helmet, hat, water, cliff bar)
If that sperg crosses the state line ill be ready
Can anyone recommend a pair of boots under $100? /poorfag
>>32918385
I have a UCR, it's quite good. The straps are adjustable and the clips make everything easy. It's really well made for a basic rig with some MOLLE for extras.
A ChiCom *can* hold two polymer AR mags per pouch, but I can literally hold mine upside down and shake it and they won't come out. They stick in there like fuck. I wouldn't put two in a pouch. Metal mags are a tight fit but come out with come pull tabs.
>>32918385

Also the other anon probably meant a surplus military chicom that you can get for like 15 USD
>>32918494
Can you post pics of your rig, primarily focusing on the mags?
>>32918431
I will show up to your house at the middle of the night. If you can not name my last 10 videos you are not solider boy qualified, also your not allowed to have gear better than me so go ahead and drop all that gear and buy a condor MOPC
>>32918161
If that works for you it works, I use blousing bands some people just tuck.
>>32917921 but this is unsat.
>>32918238
You could get a lighter and slimmer rig by holding 4 or 5 mags, then offloading the last 1-2 to your belt as speed reloads. just saying
>>32918385
lancers are pretty thin, pmags baseplates might fuck you. The ucr will let you carry more shit and has better straps
>>32918530
I can name the last 5 nutnfancy videos off the top of my head.
>>32918590
So the UCR will carry 8 Lancer mags?
>>32918633
the ucr should carry 8 pmags no problem. It's the 7.62 tactical chicom I strongly doubt will carry 9 magazines in those pouches anythicker than usgi.
so yes.
anyways, 9 mags on your chest is pretty fucking heavy and really wide so I wouldnt do that.
>>32918520
No pics at the moment. My UCR can hold 8 mags, but I usually keep it single stacked with 4.
ChiCom I also keep single stacked, with PMAGS with pull tabs on them.
>>32918667
Thanks I think I'll pick up the UCR.
Lancers are noticeably lighter than PMAGs but yeah I can imagine how the weight still adds up.
Thanks for the answers.

Alright guys, I just got my first chest rig I guess. Picked it up at a local thrift store for $8. The logo and tag say: LBT/London Bridge Trading Co. LBT-2586G-500D Low Profile Chest Rig.
I've looked at the stitching and I guess it seems to be alright, I don't really know what to truly look for though. I can't see any holes in it or such. It came with 3 pouches; 1 surplus(I think) buckle IFAK pouch, and a GP and "battery pouch" from Paracet or Paracelet or something.
My question is, can you guys tell me what exactly I got? I can't tell if I managed to get a deal, or just bought some airsoft shit. Trying to look up the chest rig doesn't get me any reviews or anything, so I have no idea if this thing is good or not?
>>32919494
If its dirty than maybe.
Realistically, I had serious trouble sometimes seeing the man in front of me through NODs while in Germany. Then again, it was foggy, floor was covered in snow, and it wasnt quite dark outside, it was that sweet sopt where without NODs you cant see shit and with NODs you cant see shit.
>>32917315
Your right hand stabbed itself in the hand?
>>32919503
I dont believe you. If you arent bullshitting its a rig worth waaaaaaay more than $8. Thats if it's real.

Based on a gander at camopedia, it's 3-colour US desert camo
"Following the invasion of Kuwait by Iraqi Forces in 1990, the US DOD was faced with the very real necessity of outfitting a large number of combat personnel in camouflage uniforms suitable for desert warfare. Although the majority of military personnel deployed in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm wore either standard woodland pattern BDUs or the six-color desert pattern BDU, the Army had already been developing a general purpose camouflage design more suitable to sparsely vegetated, sandy regions such as those found throughout Western Asia and North Africa. The resulting pattern, a three-color design, was in full production by 1991, although a very small scattering of examples are known to have reached US forces during Desert Storm. Consisting of beige & earth brown horizontal waves on a sandy background, the US tricolor desert pattern (given the nickname "coffee stain" by some US personnel) was since copied & adopted by a great many nations in Western Asia and continues to serve adequately in many countries around the world. The first issue US tricolor desert pattern was printed on 50/50% NYCO twill fabric, slightly later in a 100% ripstop version, and finally (circa 1995-96) in an enhanced ripstop 50/50% NYCO fabric."

In extreme niches. Even then, outside of a specific terrain feature (like standing in front of a big grey rock) it will only work moderately well at best. A brown and desaturated green based pattern (multicam or similar colored) beats the fuck out of it for a universal pattern. A terrain specific pattern beats them both.

I mean it's faster to switch to weak side, but 2 point is only slightly slower and superior for just about everything else.

>>32921863
If you can only choose one, two point slings are GOAT. 3 points are unnecessary and add complications where two points achieve the same, if not better overall support and function.
Two point to single point is GOAT. I use slings two point 98% of the time. It supports the rifle best when slung and moving, it allows for another point of support if you mount it at the front of the rifle like a man and works great during high volume shooting when slung around the neck only.

>>32922129
Lbt gear is literally the price premium and gold standard of most gear.
If that is the right model of 2586 and isn't fake it's $340 US new. Which is why it's a little unbelievable. That's an incredible find especially for $8. I wouldn't be surprised if even pretty used ones are still ~$100 so if yours is in good condition it would be at least around 200 minimum.
The radio pouch isn't nearly as discount but as far as I can find new it's ~$30
Ya did gud anon.

I like the simple Petzls. Something where it's just got an on/off button or switch and the color filtering is done with a colored plastic shield over the light.

But I cant for the life of me find soft armor for the shoulder, neck and arm add ons. Where the hell am I supposed to find it?
>>32922899
Try First Spear, they might have some of the stuff you're looking for.
Also, obviously buy hard plates. Then drop the soft armor everywhere and don't use a CIRAS (talking from personal experience) get a Crye JPC or something Idk.
But yeah, First Spear.

>>32923503
>Level 3+
3+ isn't an NIJ certification, while it *DOES* offer slightly better protection it's not certified. It's a made up industry buzzword to sell steel armor. Also don't buy steel. Buy level 4 ceramic or bust. Save your good boy points if you have to, without getting into it to much just... Don't buy steel and DO NOT buy AR500.com.

Yea fuck off fudd this isn't 1938. The best gun for home defense is an AR 15 and to say otherwise is just ignorant
>>32923790
while the AR platform has several advantages over a shotgun, The 12ga still has a greater one shot stop ability and (for this shooter) the ability to hit a moving target more quickly. I have several rifles and several shotguns and I train with both platforms.
Lastly, stop being a raging faggot.

could you fit three of those tyr tactical shotgun pouches on 6 row wide molle or do they take more than 2 each?

I meant as in when you shoot, you don't also shoot through your living room, through your kitchen, through your wall, into the neighbors house, into their kitchen and kill Ms.Neighbor.
Ever heard of over penetration?
>To say otherwise is ignorant
Good argument. If you don't arrive to the same conclusion I have YOU'RE A RETARD.
>>32923951
Good question, I'm using a TAG Triple Vertical pannel on my 6x6 chest rig. It's light and low profile, but only 18 rounds. 3 of the TYR is obviously bulkier, but that's 60 rounds in the same space if it fits.
I'll take the TYR off the belt and get a picture of the width. hang tight.
3 would fit, but it would be tight. Not much room to manipulate the shells.
>>32924051
>>32924074
Thanks, ill just go with two then and leave a space in the middle.
>>32923957
Yea except overpenetration is less of an issue with 5.56 compared to 12 gauge buck. It destabilizes and becomes less lethal quicker. You obviously don't know much about the ballistics of the two options.
>>32923870
Your personal abilities with a platform don't really enter in to a discussion about the guns themselves. As for one shot stop the reliability, simplicity and ability for quicker followup shots outweighs it as well as being safer if you miss
Waiting on a few items in the mail
>>32924122
>It destabilizes and becomes less lethal quicker.
May be true, however
>Goes through 5 walls, and wooden stud and is still more than lethal
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0qgQoej5zE
>>32924172
Yes and buck will do the same thing and still be more lethal so that really doesn't back up the point that 5.56 will go on to infinity like has been stated while buck won't as mentioned earlier.
>>32922256
That's because no Multicam SOFLCS mbitrs are currently on fleabay. The last one sold for 87 dollars.
>>32924223
I don't have numbers with me, so if you could find some that might be nice but I'm willing to bet just about anything that (average) 5.56 over penetrates significantly more that (average) buck and is lethal for longer.
>>32923503
What's that middle bag?
>>32924124
What ifak is that?
>>32924255
here is some reading. The first one is a post from DocGKR whose ballistic knowledge is fucking great. I highly recommend his posts about defensive 5.56 ammo.
https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?4334-Home-Defense-Long-Guns
Then box of truth demonstrates the quicker destabilization of 5.56 after a few walls of drywall.
http://www.theboxotruth.com/the-box-o-truth-14-rifles-shotguns-and-walls/
They both penetrate the same number of walls but a tumbling 5.56 round is less lethal than the 00 pellets as well as the fact that the pellets are all over the place meaning there is a higher chance of someone being hit.

I got the ayylmao gear one on a whim from a friend for my fullsize USP.40. AT first I wasn't able to conceal it properly because it was too high up on my waist but since they aren't shit you can actually adjust it a bit and though it doesn't look cool it doesn't have to since its CC. It releases on a good draw and the way its made it doesn't pull out the entire holster with it. The leather or whatever against your body feels good and contours to you while holding firm and nothing digs in. I like it for the price.
