/k/ommandos,

what is the point of owning a chest rig as a civilian?

>can't wear it outside in the city without looking like a mall ninja
>can't wear it in the country without looking like a deranged militant
>already have access to gear inside the house
>most prepper sources don't recommend chest looking too tactical in a bug out situation because it draws too much attention

My feeling is that it looks cool, but it's basically playing dress up.

I want to own one of these because I am a giant faggot but I am having a hard time justifying the purchase of a chest rig over other equipment that I could get like more guns or holsters/battle belt etc.

The only reason I can imagine getting one is if I joined my state's militia (Georgia State Defense Force). Even then, I would be getting it as military gear not as civilian gear (even though GSDF only does search and rescue missions, some people wear it to have access to more inventory). Three gun competitions/ idpa might be an option, but a purpose built battle belt might be better for that.

So /k/, is there a reason for a civilian to own a chest rig?
>>
If you own a combat ready rifle you should have the gear to support it and yourself. I suppose you plan on carrying your mags in your pockets? Do you only shoot at ranges or something?
>>
>>29848234
>is there a reason
The beauty of a free country is that you don't need one. If you want sit naked in your chest rig and jerk off, go for it.
>>
>>29848234
Because you want to?
>>
>>29848234
when shit get's real being able to carry your fighting load in a convenient way is a plus.

all those people who talk about drawing attention to yourself are fucking retarded. you shouldn't be walking around drawing attention to yourself at all. you should be hunkered down in the middle of nowhere.
and 99% of people would fuck off if they saw some dudes carrying guns walking down the street.

It allows you to carry a great amount of equipment and ammunition on your body without being cumbersome or in the way. Everything from a gas mask to loaded mags and empty mags, to maps, compasses, water and radios can be carried with ease and set up in a manner that allows you instant access to them.

You can also rest your hands on the pouches, which is comfy.

Yep, that's the gist of it, but come on, who doesn't want to play dress up every once in a while?

Also it's nice to have a convenient place to keep your magazines and whatever while shooting in the woods/range.

This is the most reasonable response so far.

>>29848251

How much gear do you really need? I'm not in fallujah. The most hardcore fight I might get in is some stupid nog that came onto my property or some hogs getting too close. If I take my rifle with an two mags taped together I have 60 shots with my AR. I feel like if I can't deal with the threat with that much force I need to gtfo and find some cover, where I can have infinity mags in ammo crates. Besides, I live in the city. My family has some property in the country but there have been maybe 4 times in my lifetime that we've even needed to draw guns, then we were either drawing from the house or the truck. I'm not a veteran.

We've never fired on a human. The most hardcore beast that we ever dispatched was a 6 foot rattlesnake (12 rattlers and a button I shit you not). That was dealt with by a remington 870 pump with just the shells in the tube.

I think short of some kind of red dawn situation (in which case I'm really fucked) I can deal with it with 1-2 magazines.

And yes for the record, I am carrying a USP Compact loaded with +p hollow points and I do in fact have an extra magazine of fmj in my pocket.
>>
>>29848234

I don't think you realize how much the public perspective on tactical gear has changed since the late 90s and early 2000s. Before running around Alice gear and woodland fatigues was cringey and weird.

Now it's actually cool to own tactical style combat rifles and body armor today
. You can thank popular videosgames like Call of Duty and Battlefield for that. Also people of a nation will inherently emulate it's authority figures (police and soldiers) so it's literally not weird anymore to have the same gear as a cop would during an active shooter.

wait, the local store here has molle rigs for like $45 with tax minus extra bags and stuff. Is that a good deal? They also have anderson forged lowers for stupid cheap so....

how much money are you looking at for a legit chest rig that can hold 4-8 mags, a med kit, gps, fixed blade knife, all the basic bitch stuff?

it's cool to own them yea, but I can't imagine walking down the street with a plate carrier and my ar-15.

OCing in tactical gear is extremely suspect in times of peace, yeah you are correct.

There's a time and place for everything though.

If there's been a natural disaster or mass rioting in your city then it'd be an appropriate time to gear up and do security for the neighborhood.

if I am going to be honest with you, my dad carries a taurus judge owb and pulls his t shirt over it. the first time he saw my usp it was like he was seeing fire for the first time. i think it was the first time he had seen a polymer gun. he's a vet and has some pretty nice bolt rifles, but he's also an older guy and not very much into the new fancy stuff. Everyone in my family (4 brothers and sisters, all married with kids) over the age of 13 has a gun. except they all have revolvers, bolt guns, and scattergats. the newest gun he has is a S&W 459. He's got a super nice custom remington 700 with a nice scope on it, but yeah, no tactitarding.

right? i have no delusions about my skill level. I can get headshots with my pistol and 25 yards but that's calmly on the range.

I carry so I can scare away nogs and pop some caps if i really need to but again, I'm not a veteran, I've never seen combat, and the most serious altercations I have ever been were fist fights that were mostly just machismo contests. if some real fuggin door kickers came for me i'm not going to win.

You might be right, but I just can't picture the threat that surpasses the need for one magazine (i.e. they want your stuff badly enough to engage you for that long) while at the same isn't some force that's using equipment you're not able to deal with anyway. I'm just talking out of my ass.

I own multiple chest rigs with setups for a few of my guns.

One setup with AR mags another setup for AK mags and a few extras that are setup for AR/AK as well.

Figure if anything ever goes down you can always give it to other swinging dicks in your group you can trust so they are a bit more combat effective.

I've got comms including handheld radios/headsets so I can actually coordinate in a semi-competent way with the folks I give the gear.


I mean having a couple other guys with guns/extra ammo/comms on make a much more effective neighborhood watch than just one dude tac't out and is trying to protect just his house.


>implying you don't know a few more swinging dicks in the immediate area that are competent enough to not shoot you in the back after you give them a quick crash course on ruddy tooty pointy shooty AND have them on comms so they can confirm before they begin shooting at moving things in the distance.

They're extremely helpful when you're hunting coyote, beaver, amarillo, and hogs over 800 acre property all day/night. Where else would you place sufficient amounts of ammo, in your pockets? Or even if you had a backpack, that's time wasted when you could easily lose the animal. You've never been on all day/night hunts have you?

True, the majority of /k/ don't really have a reason to own guns (even more so rigs and BP vests) other than for fun and plinking. Then there's the small percent who actually live in dangerous areas and need one. But for people who really enjoy hunting such as myself, I'll take every advantage I can.

You make it sound like you are Rambo out there. Okay sure, you could see 18-20 pigs at once. If you are on a hog hunt I can start to see the legitimacy. If you are with more than one person though, I doubt you will have to reload more than once to take down some of those 20 pigs. Even if you did, you could just wait there for an hour because those sick bastards will come back and eat their own dead.

i've never been hunting for more than a day straight, no. and the biggest property i've hunted on is 150 acres. How many rounds are you really firing at one animal? If you needed stripper clips to load a bolt gun, fine.

It's not necessarily unloading 90 bullets on a few animals, but the fact that I'm not gonna take my backpack off every time I need new mags, imo, enough reason to have a rig. At my cabin we'll go through hundreds of rounds every few hours, there's a shit ton of raccoon amarillo, coyote, etc on the land and the fact that coyote impede on the deer population (along with a few beers) gives us reason to stay up all night hunting.

Though I can see OPs point, personaly I use soviet oversholder mag pouches, so that in the case of emergency. I could carry my AK and 8 spaire mags without attracting to much attention.

Id think any reasonable human being would. doesent mean you shouldn't prepair for it, lets be frank in an emergency situation where lets say you needed to guard your neighborhood, rate of fire is key, you don't even need to hit them asmuch as make them think "Fuck this shit, im going to loot somewhere else!" I mean in reality if fireing a rifle like an AR-15 from a covered position it could very well seem like multiple shooters from the reciveing end if the shooter can keep out a decent rate of fire.

Because sometimes you can't bug out.

When you can't bug out, you dig in, you include as many people as you can trust, and you carry fighting gear on your fucking person, because you don't know when you'll need it.

When bugging out, fuck you retards worrying about drawing attention.

EVERYONE will draw EVERYONEs fucking attention.

And people being people they're
>a normal person, and lack the desire or means to impede you, too busy being confused
>scared as fuck and will try to attack you if you approach them/are a stupid autistic and can't de-escalate a situation. This will happen even if they don't see a weapon.
>shitbirds, and intending to rob, rape or kill the vulnerable. You, being "non-threatening" will be vulnerable, and either shot on sight, held up and robbed, or stuck in a gunfight with your CC like a retard.


You WANT to look mean when getting the fuck away from population centers. Predators, prey, and idiots with their head in the sand will all avoid you for their own reasons.

You also want all the trustworthy manpower you can scrape up. The only thing better than a battle buddy is a whole platoon of them.

I actualy want to get some tear gas grenades, either thrown or with a 37mm underbarrel, simply because I would MUCH rather deter a crowd than have to shoot them. there was recently some riots in my area, they got a bit uppity to say the least, atleast all the anger was directed at the cops. it was fun to watch

Depends, even if it's butt fuck cold the cold weather gloves can be a bit cumbersome. Patrol gloves aren't but have fuck all cozy rating to them. So sticking you hands in between your armour is heaven.

I have no shame admitting that I own a full set of tactical gear for my own trivial entertainment.

It's just fun changing your load out and mix/matching equipment & gear.

I do however "use" my gear during tactical training classes. I am indeed "that guy" that wears a plate carrier and helmet to the class but I at least don't tell lies or pretend to be military. I actually get a lot of compliments and questions on the gear I wear.

Who knows maybe shit will get real one of these days and this stuff will come in handy.

tbqh, OP, I agree on most of your points.

I have a 6 mag chest rig that could easily fit under a loose jacket. If there was a SHTF scenario that required I take my rifle with me in public, I would be wearing my chest rig under a jacket, unless it was hot as fuck. Everything else I need could be put into a backpack, which would not necessarily draw much attention.

Fitting it and not drawing attention is the name of the game.

>>29855030
That's the way I see it, Best to have it and not need it than need it and not have it, hence why I have an entire inventory of NBC protection equipment, (Real functional military stuff, with all the proper decon equipment and everything, none of that BS "Oh put on the mask and youll be fine" nonsence. I got the suits and everything)

I also do a bit of urban exploration, so the gasmasks and helmets are always used during that.

Absolute garbage.


Chest rigs are for fucking moron losers that play dress up. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you manchildren? Back when i was 14, 15 years old, i'd do this shit to play airsoft, but even then i figured out you don't need anything more than a basic chi-com AK chest rig for 15 dollars to have what you need.

It's retarded dress up, so if you like playing pretend soldier, go for it. But it makes you a fag, especially buying all this fancy modern equipment at exorbitant prices, when you can get an old milsurp rig (ie chicom, alice gear) that is both not gay as fuck, and works fine, especially for snacking on cheetos inbetween shit posting on the board and jerking it to transexual porn.
