VCAS and padded VCAS
At some level they all do the same shit but I find VCAS the simplest and most durable.
VTAC has too much going on
Ferro sling seems kind of flimsy
WOTG I hate the stupid paracord attachments
Single point is shit
3 point is shit
As such, VCAS reigns as best adjustable 2 point for simplicity and durability
I also am a Blue Force Gear fanboy in general though
I'm finally has pc, and shits fairly hot
Should I go for the crye G3 shirt or the arcteryx assault shirt
Crye is cheaper but I'm autistic about zippers getting jammed or feeling the zipper pressed on by the plate, but out of the little info there is on arcteryx it seems like it's thicker and hotter but has some neat mesh for the pits
Bulldog Tactical ISTC
>>34174115
This. Padded VCAS or bye.
I usually don't into slings but I'm going on a /k/ hike in a few weeks
Is it preferable to have the rear of the sling attached on the stock itself or mounted to an end plate loop?
is the us army sleeping system a good setup? I need a good setup that can work down to 0 degrees f for under $250
>>34174083

Up to you bruh as long as you can comforrably retain the weapon.
Just no 1 points or 3 points
>>34174136
I'm assuming you're civvie since you're finally into pc
Unless you have your eye set on a combat shirt, I'd probably just go with a hanes shirt or lightweight dress shirt you don't need to dress tier 1 to have fun with your friends.
but to answer your question cryes, IMHO the dead bird combats just look too neo-fashion to me
dead bird makes fantastic stuff for colder wetter climates don't get me wrong, but combats are just nyco and moisture wicking shirt in general with a few caveats
>>34175268
unless they upgraded them when I had my back turned
The sleep system was heavy bulky garbage compared to the stuff on the civvie market.
the only thing worth a damn was the Goretex bivvy and you can buy those for a steal off flea bay without the extra shit sandwhich
What do you guys suggest for boots?
I'm looking for a mid-weight pair suitable for hiking/climbing.
>>34176410
Salomon gtx hands down
>>34176410
go to a gucci outdoor clothing shop and ask them and get fitted.
chances are they're more qualified than your normal /k/ommando blindly recommending Salomon 4d quests or milsurp for ever qualm
>>34176441
Probably the best option. I just have experience with Salomon.
>>34176347
Why would you tell someone to wear cotton under a pc? Wtf is wrong with you?
>>34174136
Buy both. Sell whichever one you dislike.
>>34176454
as do I, I went through 2 pair of them, a pair of Low Renegades, Asolo Fugitives, a few danners , and a lot of Keens and Merrell
>>34174083
what do y'all generally like better, single or two-point slings?
Also what QD setup is best?
what should i get for $300 guys?
can be anything from clothes to gear etc (not crye) was looking at kitanica but fuck that
>>34176480
Two point
Front of hand guard middle of stock is comfy
>>34176465
Oh know, I did, how could I be so blind!? I should have my memeperator badge revoked and ceremoniously shot in the back of the head and be left in a ditch somewhere.

>muh cotton kills

>>34176480
2 point
QD just adds weight, once I have it fixed in a position it is not moving.
>>34176480
Single Point slings are a meme for people who have never had to move over distance with their rifles. LEOs and basement dwellers.
>>34176480
two-point for the win, get one with a quick adjust for the length too.
>>34176480
Two point. If you're worried about saving weight, don't go with QD. I tend to believe that QD is fucking awesome since I have a number of slings and ARs. Constantly taking a sling off for cleaning or switching is annoying as fuck. A lightweight QD setup is offered by Way of the Gun. It fits the Proctor Sling. You will have to buy it separately because the sling comes with shit as fuck 550 cord attachments.
>>34176548
What do you already have?
>>34175479

Okay one thing I don't get, how does QD add weight? Are those little studs really that heavy?
Also, any recommendations on a quick-adjust sling? I see people recommending padded VCAS in this thread, would that fit the bill?
>>34176951
>Are those little studs really that heavy?
Nope, but ounces make pounds and /GQ/ is extraordinarily autistic.
>>34176894
Antifa got arrested?
>>34176885
So you just want something to meme with basically?
What kinda plates do you have? How are you with lights? Quality holster? IFAK done?
>>34176996
pretty much, i have fort plates and have all my gear sorted.
was looking at a kitanica jacket
>>34176996
>Antifa got arrested?
A few people from both sides I think. Fun to watch while bar hopping.
>>34176900
>getting mad that my $100 rail has survivied and done very well over 2000 rounds
>>34176613
So whats bad about them?
>>34177208
while the rifle is in your hands they don't carry any weight whatsoever. So if you want to be able to ruck a long ways with rifle in hand it's not happening.
doesn't secure the rifle well if you have to go hands free to climb over something
no way to cinch it down and stabilize for a kneeling shot
>>34177208
They don't distribute the weight of your rifle across your body. If you have to do ANYTHING with two hands, giving medical aid, detaining someone, hanging a steel target, loading magazines, or opening a can of soda, the rifle goes from zero to pain in the fucking ass in half a second. Obviously the rifle just bashes into your legs while running and the it's far more likely to end up in the dirt or smashing into rocks and trees. After a half hour of patrolling with a single point you develop a very distinct kink in the backside of your neck. After three hours, you'll want to kill yourself.
Single points; for SWAT teams and transition drills only.
>>34176951
ounces = pounds = pain
anything I can do to eliminate extra weight off my kit the better.
trust me when you start building/adding shit to your rifle and stop caring about the ounces, it builds up to be a death by one thousand cuts sorta deal
as long as you don't let it get out of hand QD are fine, but to me, they're just pointless.
also, check out Ferro Concepts slingster those things are pretty nice too.
>>34177302

These are a few better brands that all offer what your looking for. If your worried about the price, you probably can't afford to outfit a proper plate carrier for that matter, and go just ahead and buy your nearest chicom.

What's your budget for each and what do you want to use the pack for. This is basic shit desu senpai, know how to ask a question properly. The better your question the more likely you are to receive a decent answer.
>>34176810
I like that strap but I'm not sure because it's thin webbing looks uncomfortable after a long period of being slug. How do you like it?
>>34180077
Slung*
Most updated picture again
Does anyone have any input or opinion on this London Bridge sling? It's the only padded m81 sling I can find, which I think is kind of cool.
>>34180051
I figured you guys would just recommend a brand name and I'd go from there, but whatever. I already have a bugout pack, so I suppose this would be my combat pack, lightweight for short expeditions(2-4 days) running around shooting people and taking their shit. Budget wise I'd say 50-100$ for the pack and 50$ for the pads, milsurp is fine too.

SAS has been using smocks overtop plate carriers since there have been plate carriers. It's kind of their thing, and why it's called an SAS smock.
>>34180339
>combining load bearing and weather layering
no
>>34180369

>>34180405

>>34180380
I don't know about the tactical applications, but if I was ever homeless that looks pretty fucking great.
>>34180380
>>34180364
>>34180339
Look, smocks are...fine. They can certainly be good in many environments, but an encumbrance in others. I'd rather be wearing a combat shirt under my body armor if the temperature is above 65 degrees Fahrenheit.
>>34180418
What do they do when the waether's too hot for the smock that they've stuffed all their ammo in?
>>34180441
Kinda the same if it were warfighting.
Now SHTF, yeah, smocks are pretty fucking rad. If you're innawoods for extended periods of time without shelter, they're great.
Good gear, but not GQ gear.

The good ones are.
Arktis in particular makes some awesome shit.
>>34180393
There's nothing on the rails, and it's a full-cut ach, so arc-rail mounted comms wouldnt work.
>>34180490
Much more important things to sort out first
>>34180508
>Rail mounted coms wouldn't work
That's what I thought was the case but it looks like there is ear pro peeking out from the ACH. Darn, I just got mine and was hoping there was a way so I didn't have to fuck around with a headband under my helmet.
>>34180472
Still can't believe they wasted the SAS's time on a couple of knife-wielding punks.
Are British cops the most useless law enforcement in the world?
>>34180543
My peltors are in my trunk and I'm too lazy to go get them to take a picture right now, but there is an alternative headband thing that doesn't go over the top of your head, but is made up of a wire that wraps around back and pinches the ear cups against your head. I'm pretty sure it's designed to be used with an ach.
>>34179906

>goruck
>paying for overpriced gear catering to people that own brodozers and want to be """"greymen""""
better off getting an LBT slick front backpack when they're on sale, Mystery Ranch makes a ton of nice ones, Kelty is basic bitch but it works. That's just a few. Agree with kneepads though.
>>34180575
>>34180543
Never mind, I mustered the motivation.
>>34180502
Now I'm gay for Arktis but there are much better options for layering out there.
>>34180616
Works fine. Wire sits between pads. It's just a bitch to get them both on together.
>>34180364
Was considering one as an everyday coat until asspocket showed up.
How much of a sperg would I look like with that?
Otherwise seems like a good fall/mild-winter coat
>>34180545
You know, I never thought of it that way. It's not like they deploy CAG when someone in the US goes postal.
>>34180339
rain gear, even goretex, usually fucking sucks. There's no real do it all fabric that's waterproof, ripstop, light, and breathable.
>>34180624
I dunno. The actually waterproof ones are good all-in-one parkas, and the two-layer ones are a shit ton better than fucking Gore-tex and it's noisy ass fabric.
I use my waterproof b300-something (forget the actual model number) for bow hunting, and it's a great stalking coat. And it gets rained on HARD.
>>34180400
The term "SAS Smock" pre-dates equipment being carried on body armour, and certainly pre-dates general issue of body armour in general. They are from an era of belt kit and chest rigs.
Having said that, when worn with belt kit or under a plate carrier in more temperate climes there are few items of kit that can beat it for practicality.
For the British climate, they are absolutely perfect.
>>34180670
I'm actually wondering if the London police even have their own EOD/bomb squad, and/or it is is competent. The British military being called in may have had a lot more to do with needing those guys than needing doorkickers. But if you're going to call military special operator EOD, you may as well ask for the doorkickers too.
Also, the US has laws explicitly limiting how the military can be used for police work. Calling federal military doorkickers requires a lot of hoops. I don't know UK laws, but they are probably more lax.
>>34180720
>Gore-tex and it's noisy ass fabric
Valid point anon. It would be pretty neato for hunting.
>>34180720
>I use my waterproof b300-something (forget the actual model number) for bow hunting, and it's a great stalking coat. And it gets rained on HARD.

best to go with highly water resistant, flexible, durable, good pockets, and throw on a waterproof shell if it starts coming down.
I run this since it looks very casual but highly functional as well:

>>34180393
>>34180543
Yeah there's no way to do coms on a full cut, but I have the arc rails for when I decide to get an MPLS Charge. However I use the same Peltors as >>34180616 but I use the version with the normal headband. It's actually fairly comfortable.
>>34180819
More lax in terms of military forces being allowed to be used in a police role. The US has legal hurdles for that to happen with troops under federal control.
Reading comprehension, my dude.
>>34180616
>>34180648
>>34180829
Thanks. Much appreciated
>>34180662
You'd look kinda spergy, but it's a good heavy coat. If you reaaaaaally need 14 pockets including the butt one, then go for it and fuck the haters.
If you're okay with like...10 pockets (four on the front, two zippered chest pockets, and two sleeve pockets) they have a waterproof one with no ass storage.
Have the 14 pocket personally, and it's pretty great. Take it to football games, stuff a blanket in the ass, and never have to worry about sitting on the hard ground or cold steel bleachers again.
can you kommandos identify what this guy has on his ar handguard? is that just a supressor cover?

>micro red dot + magnifier
>unnecessarily long and heavy rail
>short barrel

>>34180984
minimalist simple and I didn't like all the extra pocket.
>>34181024
unrelated to the image, but if you were building a 14.5" pinned barrel upper, what length rail would you put on it?
10? 12?
>>34181097
9-12", depending on how ouncefaggy I was feeling at the time
>>34181130
barrel will weigh like a pound. A guntec 12" mlok rail is like 9oz.
might do a lightweight BCG and adjustable gas block, not for ouncefagging but to try and reduce recoil impulse from such a light rifle.
I'm buying a LPK with that MFT minimalist stock but if I don't like it, I've got an M4 style stock that has QD sling mount built in.

Smocks are ultra level comfy when you're not trying to operate. They're more meant for load bearing rigs and webbing than a dedicated PC, unless you're wearing something low profile under the smock, and a chest rig over it. And even then, I'd still want to wear something not as bulky as a smock.
I personally use a smock for my go to inawoods trips when it's not blistering hot outside, which sadly isn't often here in SC. 65 seems like a good number. You can always wear more under it if it's cold.
Sumpftarn works really well in the fall and winter around here b/c there's no white snow anywhere, just dead leaves and pinestraw. I can fit two 30 round gi mags, or a handful of stripper clips in each of my two lower smock pockets no problem, which is much more comfortable than a chicom for me.
>>34180951
>tfw they make things in jigsaw
>>34181158
>not for ouncefagging but to try and reduce recoil impulse from such a light rifle
Just put a comp/brake on it, or do pushups until you can manage the punishing recoil of 5.56x45.

>>34181024
>waah a heavy rail

Here's my proof for when I said black actually isn't that bad for my environment. I forgot to bring my peltors along.
>>34180892
No problem man.
>>34181234
It's not for the painful recoil. It's because a short, light build is going to have more muzzle rise than a 16 or 20 standard build.
>>34174083
>mfw I see a Thot to blast.
>>34181508
Woodland works. I don't think anyone would claim that it doesn't aid in concealment in the forest. There are just better options out there.
>>34181508
The black is the most visible part of your gear tho.
>>34180336
I'm not very experienced with packs or knee pads but I can let you know what I see here.
Several people have LBT 3 day assault packs, they're out of your price range but LBT runs regular sales with good discounts (down to $75-100) that almost always include these packs. Dan has some sort of Source pack that he likes.
As for knee pads, Arc'teryx knee caps get recommended a lot and the people who have them like them, at $60 they're slightly out of your price range. A2Grip owns multiple pairs and WhatGrip?WhatStock? has borrowed some of his.
Alta are another brand I have seen in use and recommended, not familiar with their models but SKD carries some that are $22 currently. Cat Boy uses these as seen here. >>34180109
Hopefully this is somewhat helpful to you. I tried to provide names where possible so you can ask people about they're stuff directly. You can also keep an eye at people's kit pics and ask about stuff that interests you, people usually like to talk about their stuff. Just keep in mind that experience with other competing products is important. For example: Arc'teryx pads are good but are they worth twice the price of the Alta's? Only someone with personal experience of both can give you an answer and then it comes down to your personal financial situation.

>>34181595
You right. The reason I got black (a while ago) was because 1. wanted to test it with green pouches 2. I liked the idea of being able wear it under my black carrhart and it not being as noticeable 3. Black matches the black in m81
>>34181952
Is you're real name Atlantic cuz you seem pretty salty friendo. The zenitco rail is in fact for the afg and for a streamlight that's on the way. The stock is just a placeholder until I get around to ordering a stock with a cheek riser. And the magpul mag was the mag I happened to grab, I left my steel mag in the case. But being a college student and life have put a burden on gear :^)
>>34181679
>>34181840
Not me. sorry I usually use a trip but I've been namefagging lately
I can confirm the LBT 3-day is good. For sure worth it when they go on sale. I'm sure July 4th they will have a sale.

What's a carrier I can wear under a smock? No need for pouches or molle, but maybe something that has the ability to have a panel mounted to it like the lv-mbav.

VTAC sling on QD user here.
s'all good, but I think in another life I would have probably picked the VCAS if I was exposed to it earlier and didn't want to have to replace all of my rifle slings.
this smock business is absurd. Clearly the superior combat rain layer is the poncho.
Got my carrier somewhat done. Looking at a bgf ten speed tripple or an ats tripple shingle for the front instead of the 2x2. The LBT Blow out might not stick around for long. Going to sew up an insert to keep all my supplies on instead of stiffing them in a ziploc or in there loose.

Was going to say this. They pretty much can't be used domestically at all, but are probably used as advisors or something.

Since the standing laws in the two countries are different, the response is different. If you are in a country that doesn't have laws against using the military for police work (Aus, UK), you use them and there is really no need for a hyper well trained police doorkicking force; when you have the ability to call in literal special forces there is no motivation to make an operator police unit. Since the US has laws limiting the use of military in police operations, we've got stuff like the FBI HRT. HRT trains alongside SF, and is in terms of CQB probably damn near as good. No need to break the rules and call Delta force for a domestic incident when you've got civilian law enforcement forces that are capable.
An exception to Posse Comitatus is to use military forces to deal with a hazard to the public that isn't a person. Like an IED or boobtrapped apartment- the US can call military EOD and working dogs in all day long for that. In which case they wouldn't be "advisors", they'd take over entirely if called in until they said it was safe, and then the police get control back.
>>34183035
>a hyper well trained police doorkicking force
We're talking about a situation, though, that, had it happened in the USA, would have ended with the knifemen getting shot 80 times and teabagged by literally the first cop they ran into.
They wouldn't have even needed to call in SWAT or get their AR out of their trunk; a clueless rookie with a Glock could have done the job that the UK felt the need to fly in one of the world's most elite counterterrorist forces to do.

Am I the only one who feels like their plate carrier isn't wide enough? I feel like I have a lot of exposed flesh to the left and right.
Bullets ricochet in flesh and there enough exposed that even a slight deflection would be a kill shot and its not exactly a small target.
>>34183222
The plate carriers are the right width, the people wearing them are not.
>>34183035
I didn't mean advisors in the sense that sf are "advisors" in Syria and half the world. I meant it as them truly acting as advisors. A member who really specializes in the situation at hand, not just a random team of sf "operating operationally". And most likely being addressed/introduced as just DOD advisor by Feds/other mil that accompanied them there.
I don't know of any situations where mil has been called in for ied's or booby traps. I only know of mil being called in for riot control, as in state national guard for show of force, or to burn down churches. Or obviously for natural disasters.
Why would you say they can get called in for ied's after writing a paragraph about how domestic police develop sf skills(i.e. SWAT EOD) and units because they can't use sf domestically?

Legitimately curious if I should be concerned about lack of coverage. I feel like I see LEO with chest rigs that wrap around them completely with no exposure. Some of them are pretty big.
>>34183267
I got what you meant, but I'm saying for tactical things there is really no need to call in military tactical advisors for major incidents. HRT and other civilian police forces are going to be just as competent in CQB (they do literally, actually train with Special Forces), *and* they are more familiar with police, so they'd integrate better.
>I don't know of any situations where mil has been called in for ied's or booby traps.
There is an exception written into the laws for dealing with threats like explosives or chemicals. The point of laws barring the domestic use of the military is to prevent a martial law dictatorship kind of thing, but dealing with inanimate threats was kind of figured to be the good of public safety.
Military EOD literally all the time to deal with things police can't or don't feel comfortable handling. Most of it is not breaking news, but it happens near daily. The law says that military EOD can not just show up and demand to control a scene, but if requested by the police can then take control of it. There is also another law stating that military ordnance is the responsibility of the military, so if a farmer finds an old military shell in his field, the police are obliged to call the military, even if they have a functional HDS/Bomb squad.
> I only know of mil being called in for riot control, as in state national guard for show of force, or to burn down churches. Or obviously for natural disasters.
The National Guard is under a different jurisdiction and command. National Guard are owned by the state and activated domestically by the state governor. Active duty troops are controlled by the Federal government.
So, National Guard can be sent into deal with riots while legally, an active duty military unit couldn't be sent (without Congressional approval).
Both state and federal troops could legally be used for disaster relief, but I've never heard of it happening.
>>34183337
You understand that plate carriers only provide protection where the plate is? The amount of cloth on the body doesn't factor into stopping bullets.
>>34183386
larger carrier holds larger plates. A number of carriers supplement with soft armor.
The concern is that if your rig leaves greater exposure in the encircled area, is it a greater risk for slightly angled shots and thus worth buying a larger carrier and plate (and or supplementing with shoulder/arm plates to try and cover the area) or is this an unmitigatable risk solved only by avoiding getting shot.

Somebody else here. Pretty sure those are Hatch kneepads.
If I were forced to wear kneepads (like say being in the Army), they are better than the thick as fuck military kneepads. Still not as good as having built in pads on the pants though.
TBQHWYTITT, having kneepads that strap around your knee suck, especially for any kind of extended innawoods stuff. I'm big on safety and all that, but I've not once in military or /gq/ days felt the need for kneepads or ever thought to myself "dang, shoulda worn kneepads today".

Stuff like that happens all the time. Most times the military gets called in because somebody found military ordnance- Grandpa died and his kids found his stash of grenades, or a hunter finds an artillery round.
But the cops can call the military in for anything like that. There are a lot of incidents of kids cooking up bullshit in garages, or stupid incidents like your's where it turns out to be nothing.

Then you can show a source? I get the mil ordnance thing, but literally anything else, I don't see happening.
How often does FBI srt actually deal with active terrorist attacks? Now compare that to how often army sf deals with active terrorist fighting. You can train with the best trainers in the world for 20 years but when you have no real experience, you're going to want to have a little bit of guidance from the guy who taught you everything you know and does this every day.
>disaster relief
>never heard of it
Army engineers get called in to do shit all the time, even sometimes when a disaster hasn't happened.
How old are you? Do you remember hurricane Katrina? There were thousands of ng but also 82nd AB and an artillery btn. All under the control of northcom.
Disaster and engineering shit is really the most that mil is used domestically.
>>34183577
>can you show a source
Dude
>>34183518
>>34183538
There's one example that's so mundane it stands to reason that they'd get called out for everything from christmas displays to ordinance.
>>34183446
And yet you bring up chest rigs which don't provide ballistic protection?
>>34183337
LEO wear level iiia soft armor which wraps your torso, and sometimes wear plates. Level iiia soft armor only stops most pistol rounds and fragmentation. Rifle plates stop rifle rounds and which rounds, from what rifles, depends on the plates level of protection.
There are body armor vests that hold level iiia inserts and rifle plates. That sounds like what you are looking for.
>>34183446
It's a non issue. You have to remember those cops aren't planning on running or anything like that. Eventually you get to the point where the armor starts to hinder your ability to move and that will get you killed. Your ability to move quickly and out maneuver the shitbags trying to kill you will help you more then the extra armor the cops wear. Of course accurate fire plays into that as well.
>>34183577
>Then you can show a source? I get the mil ordnance thing, but literally anything else, I don't see happening.
I don't have any scholarly sources on hand at the moment, but just roll with me on this one.

Right, I get this thinking, but I've never seen the military called in for tactical advice. I really can't prove a negative here, which is what you're asking for.
>Disaster relief
Yeah, I totally spaced on Army Corps of Engineers. Katrina was kind of a blip on my radar and I didn't instantly recall 82nd being there- but there you go. That shows what Federal military can be used for. Disaster relief is not blocked in the same way as being used to actively police is.

I was using it all as an example of how far we have strayed. They used the military at waco and ruby ridge they used them during the LA riots and katrina. There were military advisers that arrived fully geared at both the bundy ranch staging area stand off and at the FBI field headquarters during the Oregon stand off. There were Craft mercenaries at the san bernadino shooting and at the boston bombing before either event happened and after non-uniformed military teams showed up.
>>34183874

Ok, obviously the eod stuff happens and is news worthy. But I doubt you are going to see a list of the different people and where they are from that would be collaborating during a terrorist situation(and not even just terrorist situations). I'm not asking you to prove that it doesn't happen, I'm just saying that there is no reason for it not to happen, and would only be a benefit and would not break posse comitatus.
>Disaster relief is not blocked in the same was as being used to actively police is.
I think this is where you are misunderstanding me with the advising. I'm not talking, nor was I ever, about the military actively or covertly reacting to a domestic situation, I was just saying that when a major situation happens it isn't just FBI in one room saying "this is what we are doing". They want as much knowledge and qualified brains running immediately giving them options and ideas. That means dod and dhs advisors and who knows who else for situational advise and NSA and other intel agencies for intel.
And if you understand what I meant from the get go, then idk why you replied to me in the first place.
>>34183978
We're talking in circles here. The original start of this was "delta advising tactically", which I'm just going to be like, I can't prove a negative here and say they have never done it domestically, but that's not the procedure and these organizations are huge on procedure and territory. If you want to expand and expand to include other organizations, yeah DHS is part of it.
>And if you understand what I meant from the get go, then idk why you replied to me in the first place.
I was agreeing with you damn. I was like "oh yeah I totally spaced out on Katrina, you're right" and affirming that the 82nd's use in Katrina was in line with everything above board. People so angry here.

If youre moving tactically at any distance you're holding your rifle anyway, slings exist purely for using both hands while retaining your rifle, not for comfortably hanging it from your body.

Yeah central FL. The pvc patch is by American Sheepdog llc, it's in their ghost colorization. It's really well made and I think they do pvc patches for all states.

I actually have come a couple times, I was at that one a while ago where we caught the tire on fire with a flare. I also usually work weekends but I've been wanting to go recently.
Anyone know if the 5.11 rush 72 pack is any good? It feels heavy as shite

Is a belt lanyard running down into my pants pocket my best option for semi-discreet carry of a laser rangefinder such as a Sig Kilo 2000?
I'd prefer something belt-mounted, but with the rf itself being an inch and a half thick, I don't think that's realistic.

How do you run a 10K with all that padding?

Wat ist the Chest Rig?
>>34191931
Mayflower UW Gen IV
>>34191817
It'll will wobble and it's not gonna be great for running and moving in difficult terrain. You're better to get a pouch for your belt, or on your chest. Get it tight.

Interesting, since it could be swapped quickly on a PC.

what radio and comm setup if you dont mind?
My grammudda told me that partizan spectre is the coolest and most objectively efficient camouflage on the market. Is she correct? If so, how so?
>>34192481
>no pattern is universal
That, and, objectively, it doesn't seem to make much sense having such light tans and bright greens simultaneously. Can't think of many environments that fill that niche of colors. It's not effective on heavily vegetated ground prone b/c tan sticks out like a sore thumb, and too much green to be viable in tall grass.

Basic bitch Multicam is as close to universal as makes no difference.
Are first spear Strandhöggs any good? I'm looking at a slightly used one for 200. Good deal?

>>34192864
Is that one? How do you like it? I'm only really concerned with the plastic attachment points at the cummerbund.
>>34191561
Oh shit, long time no see. i was the kid with the 5.11 shirt and jeans. i think i only had my ak at the time i went.
I have some thoughts on the mayflower, ill post them in the next thread since we are close anyway. Overall Im happy.
>>34191293

The guys were wearing phony suicide vests, it's obvious they were fishing for as big a response as possible and they got it.

I wonder if they expected to get extra virgins for getting their faces martyred off by the SAS?
