Old thread is barely in the ground. How much kit do you carry for some light operating? I usually carry 15 AR mags, 2 two liter canteens, firestarter, knife, map of the local area, and some snacks.

100yd group off a bipod using ZQ1 M80 Ball. It must of been a good batch of ammot becuase I have never had as good of groups with surplus since. Groups are tighter with my handloads but I cant find any pics.
and a bag to carry water.

>>30349233
Sucks that they stopped making them.
Light enough?
This is a quick "jump out" rig. The LBT 6094 with two pistol mags, a radio, an ESEE Izula, and two Flex Cuffs, a Glock in a Safariland, Cuffs + Mag in a Safariland case, Surefire G2, Oakley SI Assault Gloves, my BCM 14.5" AR, and Lowa Zephyr GTX boots. The Tops Sky Marshall and Estwing Tomahawk stay tucked on either side of the center console.

Yeah. We replaced all of ours 3 years ago, I've got one little scratch from an incident involving busting a vehicle window with it (horrible idea; will never try again.) but I suspect that may have happened with the old finish. Not really much different.

Does the asymmetrical pouch location bother you? Have you thought about moving the rear-most pouch to, say, just right of the buckles?

I don't really work cases anymore, but when I was doing the gang task force thing it was Smith & Wesson SD40VEs. Those sonofabitches come up non-stop. Really any shitty pistols.

>>30351191
Its as budget as you can get. It will fall apart under hard use. If youre on a budget for a chest rig check out the south african pattern 83 rig (pictured >>30350634) or something like a SOE micro rig. If you really must have the condor rig you should find a friend or family member who can sew and have them double up on key points

Gas masks are more of a toy than anything but if you want a good mask check the following points:

>seals arent cracked and fit face tightly (look up banana oil test)
>Takes 40mm nato filters without adapter
>Is new in packaging or close to

>15 mags
Holy shit seriously? I'm getting a kit together and was going to carry like 6.
How many would you guys recommend carrying on a battle belt? I was thinking one pistol mag and 3 rifles, with 3 rifles on the back of my pack. Is 6+1 mags enough for an AK?
>>30351699
I am still looking...old to guns but new to chest rigs and vests.
Looking at good gear built to last, LBT and such. It may be expensive but I am a firm believer in buy once, cry once.
Thanks again.
>>30351920
Consider that if you actually need your weapon, you will not have access to fire support, and depending on situation may not have access to resupply either.
Meaning what ammo you have on you is all you have until you successfully break contact, kill all the enemy, or get killed.
What be a good minimalist molle plate carrier for cityfolk, like bloomberg cityfolk. Looking at under 300 price range
>All these beautiful Pattern 83 rigs

You might want to try checking out a Crye JPC. It's quite minimalist and it includes 3 integral mag pouches on the front flap. It's also scalable if you decide that you require side protection later on. Battle proven with SOF too.
>>30352110
Not that anon, but I'm thinking about getting one of these. My condor shit probably won't hold up in a SHTF scenario.
>>30352084
no way man, thats the only think keeping me from looking like a goblin/pedo. im already that neighbor who packs loads of guns and ammo into his truck haha
>>30352042
>>I have a condor chest rig that is fine
>Admits to never actually using it
Nigga, everything is fine when it sits in a closet.
>>30352225
It holds my plates and ammo, but I haven't taken it anywhere so I don't know. I'm thinking about getting a crye JPC
>>30352290
It'll holds them when it's doing nothing, hell, it might actually hold them if you actually do something with it.
You've never tested it though, so saying "it's fine" really doesn't prove anything.
>>30349863
Not those.
>>30349584
Is that an operating skirt?
>>30351964
On point. But there's a big difference between tossing a mag in your back pocket for a home invasion situation, and fighting off a cartel hit squad. But I know what you're saying and I agree...
>>30351920
Dispersing my mags across the 'layers' of my kit works well for me. 6+1 for an AK seems like a comfortable start. But you're working with just a battle belt and an assault pack? I'd hope that a) the pack would accommodate more like 5-10 mags, and b) you'd have a chest rig that would offer another 3-4 mags on deck for the AK
With that squared away, I personally would carry 2 AK + 2 pistol mags on the belt. More interested in hearing what works best for you though
>>30351122
I'd be willing to bet that a mare's leg or masterkey is the most functional application for a shotgun. Still, I say don't let your dreams be dreams
I never see any SOE micro rigs in these threads.

Yeah, external MOLLE is going to attract attention, kind of gives you the "mall ninja/Division Agent" look. I really think the best way is to get a bag that has options for internal modularity instead. Vertx has some really nice low profile bags that give you this option. You might want to give them a look. http://vertx.com/Search?category=BAGS%20AND%20PACKS
The Ready pack looks pretty nice
>>30352876
baofeng UV-5R with a stupidly long antennae and an extended battery pack.
>>30352482
You want your mags placed and oriented on your rig so they're on the side of your reload hand oriented so that when you pull them you can go straight into reload without fumbling around.
You can stack several mag pouches on top of each other, general rule of thumb is that you don't want more than 240 rounds of 5.56NATO or 160 rounds of 7.62NATO on you plus 2 mags of side arm on your rig at any given moment.
If you need more than that you can put them in a day pack, but honestly if it takes more than that you're likely dead without some support anyhow.
That's also where subtlety comes in, but that's another thing to go on a tangent for.
Aside from ammo, rig up some sort of hydration, small camelbak type of thing and a small first aid kit that contains a pouch of antibiotics and non-blood thinning NSAID, plus a tourniquet, hypoallergenic quick-clot, and a roll of packing, and a compression bandage like the Israeli dressing.
Also some trauma shears. That is for your use only, on you. Obviously the likelihood of needing it is slim to none unless you're in a Bosnia level SHTF situation or the Stan or sandbox.
>>30352893
Bicycle helmet with modded 1913 rails?
>>30352901
This, in a SHTF situation unless you're in an actual team, you'll want low profile, defended but not worth much target appearance so you're not worth enough to battle it out with for your shit, yet you're not weak as fuck and able to be steam rolled.
Tacticooled up is big target.
A long gun with a side arm and plain clothes is much better.
Best is to wear a low profile plate carrier underneath a top and put one layer of mags.
Do a concealed sidearm with spare mag in the holster.
Don't look like you've got a fuck ton of ammo and firearms.
Don't blind the fuck out of your weapon either.
Let it look beat up and old but functional.
Decent optics are no issue but if it looks all shiny and crazy, it may make you a target to try and get your equipment

Shotguns have some marked drawbacks and require a fair amount of practice to run effectively. They are potent weapons if you put in the effort though. One of my loadouts is a Shellback Banshee, Mossberg 500, Glock 19 and a Sog Fasthawk.

Will 7.62x39 work with the light and plastic inlays?
>>30354129
I also have a light but usually keep my .556 load out in it. Yep the inlays work great in it, I only wish they wear slightly taller so thy would fit snugly under the molle loops inside the mag slots.
Anyone have experience with these? Looking to update some older gear with buckles and these seem like a good no sew alternative. Basically just want to know how they hold up. They won't be load bearing, just used to keep pouches closed and such.

>>30353153
It's awesome once you're used to it. Awesome retention and with practice, I'm as quick with it as I am a holster with no retention. I prefer the paddle version cause I have less problems when it's time to take a shit. Other than that, it's 6 of one, half a dozen of the other.
>>30351920
15 mags is a lot unless you're expecting to get into an extended firefight, my issued gear will hold 12. 6 is fine for fucking around in the woods.
Well
Time to wait for July 4th sales for the rest of the stuff.
I hope some IV plates go on sale.
>>30351920
I do 15 because the battlejacket has 4 double pouches, and two grenade pouches that fit one 10 round mag each, and then you can fit two mags in each of the smoke grenade pouches, plus the one in my Sig.

>>30354334
how about you suck my dick?
>>30354335
They hold the mags themselves snug just fine, you can turn the dc3r upside down and shake the shit out of it and it would be fine. But the inserts themselves sometimes dont catch with the little top tabs and keep the inserts snug inside the rig. Its tough to explain without pictures, when Im home Ill take a few and explain better. And yes, I do think the dc3rH is a better choice between the two for that reason and I like the resized admin pouches on the front

You do not operate with open arms or open legs. That's the fucking thing you learn during basic training in the army.
>>30353133
Uh, that isn't UCP-D.
>>30354419
what is the purpose given?
>>30354446
>what is the purpose given?
Because the military uniform is the first protection of your skin.
It protects your skin from being burned (most of true military protection have some kind of fire protection).
It can protect your skin from certain low velocity projectiles like gravel, pieces of glass or wood.
It protects your skin from environmental dangers like thorny plants, little shits on the ground, if glass or a window is/must be broken, etc. And so it protects you from avoidable injuries and infections. It is also a protection against parasites and animals.
Some military uniform have IR protection too that makes you harder to be seen with night vision by the enemy.
Yes it is hot and annoying especially if your wearing a plate carrier, helmet and complet combat equipment and building breaking in equipment and it is a 35°C sunny day. But it is necessary. That's especially for you >>30354331.
That's at least what a good instructed soldier should know.
>>30354512
This is true. Though I don't typically mention anything about it, I always scratch my head when I see someone "operating" in shorts. And it's 100 degrees where I live.
>>30354512
You know its a meme meant to be subtly humorous right?
>>30352932
it sounds like...you want to circlejerk over mag/ammo counts as much as I do. I think your 2/3 ratio for 7.62 compared to 5.56 is spot on - I figured the extra 5.56 rounds is to compensate for the double taps you'll be using to put guys down with M193, whereas 7.62 delivers far more 1-hit stops.
My rule of thumb is:
Have 6-8 primary & 2-4 secondary mags on deck (belt or rig)
And just carry as much ammo/mags as possible in your pack. This is, of course, aside from all the other important shit you should have in your pack (FAK, food/water/filter/tablets, emergency blanket/poncho, toilet paper)

Disclaimer: between the two popular SHTF accounts that circulate (one from Brazil -Ferfal?, and one from Bosnia) I've heard that both could have been fabricated. I'd still recommend reading them, just not making them your bible or anything...
While I don't think there's an established 'optimal' team size (I would argue 4 men), I do believe it's a matter of quality over quantity. I'd rather have a wingman I trust with my life than a group of guys I met on teamspeak

Hi Bilbo Baggins.

Thank you for that.
>>30354427
Okay I'll let the US army know they're wrong in identifying their old camouflage
>>30356118

You have to go back Juan.
>>30355959
Actually I'm 5'9. I just look small because of the perspective. I'm also not >>30356118. Dunno who that guy is. Also call me short all you want. I don't care.
>>30354862
Yes those three first (you)s you made for me are me. I do post a decent amount.
The 2/3 ratio is based on mag capacity and weight.
The 7.62 weighs more and typically run in 20rd. Mags.
Same mag counts for both 5.56NATO and 7.62NATO are very close in weight, space they take up, and does account for the extra shots.
I'm taking it from when I was in the army and the basic combat load is 6-7 mags on your kit and one in your weapon.
And I definitely agree on team size.
In a legitimate SHTF situation I would want 1-3 other well trained men with me, preferably who I've trained with and a in-situ base of operations for our families to be at that is low key and easily protected with most of the people who don't have good training or military experience staying back there.
I'd definitely be more comfortable with 1 other well trained man than 3 men who shoot rarely and think they're hot shit.
Low profile in a situation like that and being able to keep stealthy is more important than having a large group.
Also, having good training can make you as effective as 10 men in a firefight.
>>30356229
Sorry Anon, I just wanted (You)'s. Nice gear
>>30353200
You can never go wrong with a 1911. They're reliable as fuck. Other than that it comes down to comfort and your own preferences. Go to a range that you can rent guns at to shoot and try out a bunch of different .45 pistols.
I personally prefer a Sig 226 and 1911 but there are a lot more options out there for full size pistols.
And the Springfield XDS for concealed carry.
My biggest thing is trigger squeeze and break weight.
>>30353215

Is it a BNC connector for the antenna? If so I can teach yall how to make a mantenna for your kit. Just make sure if you plan on using it constantly that you've already got all the sons you want. Long term RF exposure will leave you only having daughters for some weird reason.
What sort of gear should I get as a beginner?
I have my old navy camouflage, but it's fucking blue.
I also have a front and back ar500 plates.
Should I buy a camel back? rucksack? replace my retarded blue camouflage? What about a trama kit? Where can I buy all these things?
>>30353558
I would honestly suggest one of the plain Jane plate carriers without plates in it for LBV or to use the LBV that the army uses. You flip the buckle side to the front so the back side of the belt is solid and just unzip the front of the LBV for quick donning and removal. Just get one that isn't UCP
>>30356229
You're 5'9"? Are you sure bro? I'm not trying to be a dick, but in your pictures you look shorter.
>>30353558
>>30356352
You can see here the buckle on the back I'm talking about. You can flip it so the molle insert gets threaded inside the mesh in the backside of the front panels. Then the back is a solid piece and you only have to unzip the front
>>30356352

Get quality plate carrier, $200ish range. Get better plates, I prefer level 4. Medical supplies and training for it, ask around town, some local hospitals/ clinics will offer classes. Hydration source, canteen, bladder, etc. Get a backpack unless you want to carry everything by hand. Yes replace the blue camouflage unless your going to be operating under water. Get a long gun and side arm, plenty of magazines and ammo for both if you haven't already. Gear you can buy online, from Amazon, surplus stores, etc. Find and ammo online or in your local gun store.
>>30354519
>>30354512
That's all true to a point but it depends on what exactly you're doing. It's a tradeoff between water you have access to to stay hydrated and first layer skin protection.
>>30356477
Okay, going to pick up some decent camo. I have a cheap plate carrier already, so I'll start with the medical and camo, and then go from there.
>>30356189
Kek speaks!
>>30349584
Hey what kind of water carrier is that? Brand and capacity if you don't mind?
>>30356352
>Just get one that isn't UCP
The desert pattern ones are going for firesale prices now. That plus a can of OD Krylon would not be a bad setup.
>>30352455
I think it is a kilt.
>>30356556
A bold oper8ing statement. Much wow.
>>30356545
That's not a bad idea. And you can do all kinds of camo with grass as your stencil
>>30356537
It's Source, it's 20L if I remember correctly.
>>30356608
The wide pieces of painter's tape can also make for a great stencil for tigerstripe if you rip around the edges to make them jagged.
>>30356365
>>30356352
You can also pull that belt out entirely and use just it as a battle belt for lightly loaded gear.
>>30354081
Now you're making me want an underfolder, why you do this to me?

Not as new as you my friend.
>>30354977
What rig?
>>30356634
Yuss and flare out at the tail end of your spray and close to the color boundaries to fade into the next color to help break up boundaries and lines so it blends. Helps a lot for the camo
>>30356667
True dat. Though I've never done that. I've always used chest rigs and plate carriers
>>30356893
Well if there are any /k/ommandos in central Ohio I'll gladly meet up and train together. I need to build an AR10 or buy one first though.
>>30357409
When I was into airshit I did a tigerstripe paintjob on a VN style M16 this way.
>black base layer on furniture
>mask with tape
>OD green krylon
It ended up looking awesome. Then we had a break-in and it got stolen.
I was mad but kek'd pretty hard when I realized that they'd taken that and left a real 10/22 that was right next to it.
>>30356248
Curious how much training you think should be done with a pistol compared to a rifle. I'm inclined to believe you'd actually be deploying handguns more often than a long arm if shtf. Not to mention it's what most of us carry 24/7 (which is also to say - when we lack access to our ARs, 12 gauges, etc)
Also, have you thought about how to disperse gear, supplies, and personnel over vehicles? Do you take as many trucks as possible, or pile 3-4 guys in just one or two?
Personally, these are the kinds of rabbit holes I wanna see /gq/ go down...
>>30356477
Nice. Succinct. Dubs.
>>30356498
Medical is always a good place to start. But ask yourself if camo is such a high priority. Is your area of operation sparsely inhabited woodland or desert? If not, maybe you want to spend money on greyman approved plainclothes instead.
Buy ammo/mags at your own pace, but enough to both shoot and stockpile. A 20-30 liter daypack will probably serve you best; make sure it accepts a hydration element. Yes, camelbaks/bladders are pretty amazing...
>>30357433
Also if anyone has a rifle safe for stupid cheap that will help too. Long story for another time
>>30349622
good job fellow zombieschreck
>>30357456
And if your bladder us inside your day pack it helps keep it cooler longer so you're not drinking hot bath water
>>30357449
That's annoying but ironic. At least he didn't get both.
>>30357456
My recommendation is as often as you can afford to squeeze it in with time and money. Obviously if you have a family your priorities won't be as flexible as a single anon.
I would like to see every firearm owner training at least 2 days a month on their primary firearms one long arm and one sidearm.
My preference and plan is to drag my wife with me once a week to train for at least an hour each on a primary and sidearm.
Train for transitions and draw.
Biggest thing people duck up on is how to draw and bring your arm immediately into action with sight picture. Start slow, get that muscle memory and even without loading your weapon train at home with a cleared sidearm from the holster you will have it in. Even if it's just 10 or 20 minutes a day, train on draw technique, then draw to sight picture, then include safety throw if you have one then include all of it together with trigger squeeze.
Once you get to the point where you can do it in your sleep start speeding things up. It takes time and repetition but it fucking works, and it will save your life.
Also first round with a sidearm you are more accurate one handed.
Follow up shots you MUST use both hands.
Lastly train reload technique.
>>30356359
Once again it's the perspective. Here's one with less fucked up perspective.

anyone know what the Gryffon Tactical USMC Low Profile Operator Quad Magazine Rig is a knockoff of? the name of the legit gear that inspired it.
>>30357456
I'm digging the advanced gear , I don't wanna say logistics but I can't think of a better word, but I do like the in depth discussion of not just what to buy, but how to use, where to use, when to use, etc. Such as the trucks and squad level tactics
>>30357548
I like you, you should post more often

here's my kit xD

not really low profile m8. when there's need for a long gun you go full kit.
>>30354977

>>30352621

In Urban, pretty low profile for the most part compared to all black for this pack.
>>30349585
Do you keep the long gun in a rack in the trunk or does it get to ride up front with you? I always see video of guys doing vehicle drills with the long gun starting by their leg but how often is that actually done?

What the fuck? I dunno what your background is but that's not a common technique in either SOF or the civilian competition world.

I love my p83 battle jacket. I can easily fit enough shit for a two day hike in it with ammo. It's the shit.
>>30358078
To be fair that was when I was not allowed to work out because of some medical thing I had going on. That pic is a few months old at the point. I'm back in my routine now and am slowly making progress to fix that shit show.
>>30358461
Not him but the /fit/ vector chart is a joke from when they tried to estimate a guys height by using mathematical vectors based on the height of the door knob in shot etc... Can't remember who it was now for the life of me. Tiny?
>>30357906
What brand/model plate carrier is that?
Also has anyone looked into making their own plates?
>>30357993
Clearly missing the entire point.
Im not explaining it again anon. Go back and re-read the long as posts I've made and that story from the bosnia-Herzegovina survivor
>>30358303
I'm not talking competition and I'm not saying ONLY USE ONE HAND FOR THE FIRST SHOT GUYS
It's not common practice, it's not advised, it is however the truth and when you've got a chambered round and cocked hanmer/striker and only need a light short pull to fire, worrying about the second hand isn't needed.
My background is military, and some of the competitions I've done mandated that due to lack of prep time prior to using sidearm.
There's a lot more to it that takes up a lot of time and space to explain. I'll try to find a link to drop for you so I don't take up several pages explaining it.
I don't worry about LEO stuff with shooting because it's not required for them to go to the range more than once a year unless they're SWAT. The ones who shoot a lot on their own are probably worth listening to and SWAT but just assuming all police and soldiers are super knowledgeable isn't the best idea.
I was a commo guy in SOF for six years.
>>30356435
Its nice to have operators choice for firearms and equipment but I'm one of maybe 10 guys that actually gets gets serious about my duty gear.

>>30354977
It looks like one of those knockoff rigs they would sell at the bazarrs on KAF or BAF, they literally had tables full of them along with every other cheap trinket you will find at a stateside gun show.
>>30358977
>It's not common practice, it's not advised
>It is more accurate
Think this through. If it was actually more accurate, it would be more common. More likely you just suck with handguns.
>I was commo guy in SOF for six years
What did he mean by this?
>>30359016
Exactly, I've been getting texts and call from a lot of guys at the firm the last few days asking my advise on equipment. Its literally a requirement to be hired at the firm to have at least 12 months overseas or 7+ years LEO but a vast majority of the guys just have no interest in either firearms or equipment. Most guys I work with will have an xd or some 1911 variation in an uncle mikes holster with no spare mag or even a flashlight at night. I always speak up though and my site manager doesn't put me with people I tell him I don't fell safe with. That and they have changed their hiring standards lately to be a lot stricter.

I suppose I should specify that it's not a picture of me if it weren't obvious, so no idea.
I fucking love that picture though, the civilian clothes, solid colors, ass old tactical gear, M70AB2, and contractor ID (implying this guy's actually in some shit) make it a+++.
This guy was living the gear queer dream at some point.
>>30359196
Here's his average /k/ gearqueer impression.
Thinking about getting some armor with money I make this summer, since Clinton might try to outlaw it if she gets elected.
What should I be looking at? The only gear I own is one of those SADF chest rigs, and a bunch of AR mags.
Should I go for slick or MOLLE in a carrier? I'd kind of like something I could wear under a jacket OR over cammies, if such a thing exists. Not really sure if I want side plates or not.
Do I want magazine pouches on the carrier or nah? It would be quicker than throwing on the carrier and my chest rig over it, but I wonder if that would be too much bulk?
What kind of plates should I get? Is it true ceramic plates can shatter if you fall on them with enough force? I'm not too concerned about weight, but maybe I should be.
What kind of money should I expect to spend on armor? What budget should I set for myself?
>>30356612
Thanks man I saw it and thought 10qt must have.
Too lazy to take it apart but I'd say my current duty belt setup is pretty light.

>>30359293
>What should I be looking at?
AWS, Beez, Crya, Shellback, First spear, pig, Tyr, Tag, LBT, etc
>Should I go for slick or MOLLE in a carrier?
Depends, for concealment or for multiple calibers being switched out, slick and rig, for one gun and putting it over everything, MOLLE
>Not really sure if I want side plates or not.
Get soft armor if you can, side plates suck to use, but that's my opinion
>Do I want magazine pouches on the carrier or nah?
Refer to argument above
>What kind of plates should I get?
Level IV ESAPI or similar and no they will not
>What kind of money should I expect to spend on armor?
Depends on your size, can be anywhere between $200 and $400 for a set of level IV ceramics
>>30359062
Jesus that's autistic as fuck, even if he was just bored.

has that strap shape the Cyre JPC has.
>>30359293
Ceramic plates are pretty robust. If it's in your carrier they'll be fine for the most part, it's dropping them on their edges that makes it sketchy.
Most of the plates these days are multi strike capable.
I'd get a level III+ if you're going low profile but want good protection and get a Kevlar insert to put behind it, or if you don't mind bulk get some level IV plates.
>>30359433
Oh good, I'm just above auschwitz tier so I suppose I'll save money. thanks anon.

Armor with Kevlar and plates typically will run you about $1k and you'll likely need to get your CCW/CFP first
>>30359454
Oh yeah, BTW what's the big difference between the JPC and JPC II aside from $100 premium
>>30359527
He doesn't need level IV and soft armor, especially if he's by himself, that weighs to much if you also have a ruck

I have a 4 mag rig from them, not insane use but a couple of rifle classes and R range days. I wish it had more room to adjust down as I'm a skinny fuck and often just use it on top of a t-shirt but other then that I've been pretty happy with it.
>>30359447
You can easily find people who can draw and hit a target in 0.8s with both hands on the gun. I have a really hard time thinking of a situation where I want to hit fast but want one hand (barring retention shooting)
