Let's do more than just post our gear and shopping carts. Let's discuss uses and situations for our gear and even drills and tactics. I'm interested in how everyone trains with their gear.
Just got this new mini-mav to use for 3 gun and square range training.
Still trying to decide how to lay it all out.
My local range has a 3 gun set up now, but it's pretty basic and the rifle targets only go out to 50m. Still better than ringing steel gongs from the bench, I guess.
i use most of my gear for airsoft t b h

You can say what you want about airshit, but at least you're actually using it for something.
Most people just have their stuff for a SHTF scenario that might never occur, for you it's actually fulfilling a purpose.
>inb4 Y'ALL FAGGOTS DONT KNOW NUFFIN BOUT THE NEW WORLD ORDER
>>30382360
>>30382390
I'll probably use my mine for airshit too once it comes in, at least the PC for mags, but I also want to do some applicable training on my own with my wheel guns
>>30382063
pls pull that bandana down a bit, looks a bit hilarious if you wear it like that
>>30382063
what's up with all the skulls? looks like the 2nd half of one of those "i have 2 personalities" pictures, your red hair fits the image
also, are those real tattoos? or did your little sister paint your arms? looks like it actually.
just sayin' bro, no bad feelings.
>>30382458
THey're blurred out, pay attention
>>30382464
it's not like i didn't notice that dude, might even be the reason for the tattoos looking like some color pen or henna stuff

Reposting in new thread.
What do you guys think of a duty belt as a kind of gray-man battle belt? I'm thinking just a normal black duty belt with holster, two pistol mag pouches, a flashlight pouch, and MAYBE an AR mag pouch. Thoughts? Is it too black? Still too stand-outish?
And to the guys who replied;
So are you guys saying that a plain black duty belt will work fine? Or are you saying to just get a battle belt and it can either be covered easy or no one notices them?
Question.
What's a good pack for some serious camping? I'm planning on going out to Big Bend national park in Texas and spending around five to ten days where I have no cell signal, people, or anything like that.
>>30382905
Duty belt would be easier to hide under a light jacket or something, but why grey man?
>>30382956
milsurp or new?
>>30382905
I think it's hard to be gray man when you're carrying in the open.
If you've got the rifle out how is a chest rig to overt?
>>30382984
Milsurp world be preferred, not necessary.
>>30381931
When you remove the antenna off the body of the radio like that you loose 1.5-3dB in signal strength per RF connector, and there's two connectors involved. It's normally done to accommodate a much larger antenna and the connector losses are not a big deal. So it's kind of ridiculous seeing it done with a rubber duck antenna.
>>30382993
Look up the flecktarn 65 L, NE used to have one and I snagged one and it's been great. Only downsize is it isn't waterproof
>>30383000
>checked
I just saved the pic, my gear (aside from my chest rig) isn't in yet.
>>30383027
>Only downsize is it isn't waterproof
Would spray on water proofing help?
>>30382063
Your AR build is sexy as hell. Really wish I had the bills to drop on the shockwave blade.
>>30383034
Yeah, would change the color some. I would just get a waterproof cover for it. They're like $10 maybe
>>30383027
I didn't think you were him, but I wanted to explain why it was kind of a bad idea anyway. HT's put out only about 5W so it helps to make every watt count.
>>30383081
Good info though, thanks. I'm getting a radio soon. Probably just a baofeng
>>30383072
Good point. Thanks anon.
>>30383101
no prob
>>30383096
They're great radios for the price. My preference goes to US made Diamond antennas. It's like putting nice tires on a shitty car: it kind of helps smooth out the bumps.
>>30383111
I'll grab one too, I wasn't sure which antenna to get
>>30383111
>>30383131
Which one should I get?
>>30383166
Diamond reverse SMA SRJ77CA
It's 16" but has 6x gain compared to stock
I use my Alice and duty belt for training at the local Fudd club. Alice is for carbine+pistol, duty belt is shotgun+pistol.
If I want to wear all the gear I go inna woods, Bumblefuck-Nowhere USA is only a few miles north of here.
>>30383216
Thank you
>>30381931
>training
I hike with my pack a few miles, a few days a week. I also go backpacking with this pack, usually knock out 20 miles or so in a weekend. I only wear my PC and hump around with my rifle when I'm on family acreage up north. Wish I could hit the trails in full gear without crunchy hikers going nuts.
>>30383070
It's pretty sweet, but I'm gonna pull the barrel and replace it with a 12.5".
Probably go with a simpler handguard as well, alpha rail or something.
>>30383470
i always though about using gorilla tape on my mags like that.have you run into any troubles with it?
>>30382806
Are you a Muhreens
>>30382768
Same here. I have to resize them in MS Paint to fix the issue.
>>30383681
my new camera is shit too. absolutely deatroyed my old phone so i bought a cheapo. I think ill buy a semi decent camera, take a nice carpet photo of my stuff, take some innawoods pics too and shitpost with that for a few months.
>>30381931
I like to hike and backpack. Puts all my gear bits to good use, knives, flashlights, mutli-tool, clothing, camelback, backpack, camp gear, etc. But I'm a student right now so shooting is expensive as fuck and I sold most of my guns for the time being. I somehow find money to buy gear shit tho (which I love and hate). But I should be slowing down on acquiring gear now that I have my desired three things (Tan, Green, Poor)
But training? Gym few days a week(3-5, depending on how lazy of a sack of shit i feel like being that week), try to do a full day activity at least one full day on the weekends (backpacking or hiking). Gf is doing a EMR course right now so me and her are doing lots of first aid stuff, helps us both stay sharp. Tacticool and shooting will have to wait for now.
Obligatory gear picture
>>30383520
No, but they don't do anything for me since I use pouches sized for AR mags now.
i only use my backpack and dogger vest

>>30381931
I've been focusing on close quarters defensive pistol use. I use a cheap, but surprisingly accurate plastic toy gun as a rubber duck to practice drawing and firing while being attacked by a buddy.
I hike with my pack and belt, but usually no chest rig or long gun.
Lots of innagym training to keep physicality up.
I read through the 'old SMCT books because I'm a nerd.

Anyone able to give advice on a good chest rig setup for a cav scout role?
Have a sord chest rig but wouldn't mind info on pouches and how to setup for recon and mounted infantry stuff.
I'm a reservist so I don't get issued very good gear which is why I'm buying my own
>>30384369
I suggest getting a type 63 rig it's slightly comfier for AR mags
>>30384433
at least you admitted you're wrong, I'm going to go drink a victory coconut water and tell my empowerment class on saturday about this
>>30384457
own one already, I like them both.
>>30384450
Get a chest panel and possibly a belt. Put all your pouches on that as you see fit for dismounted. Go totally slick inside the vehicle, especially if you're in a turret.
>>30384462
i hope its a activated coconut
>>30383244
Interesting. No long gun?
>>30384500
No long gun. I haven't decided which one to get.
Is lawful permanent residence = green card?
"Who must have an alien firearms license?
Anyone who is not a citizen of the United States unless you are a lawful permanent resident or have obtained a valid alien firearm license."
Fuck, WA, why you have to bone me like this.
>>30384530
what is the problem alien?
What are some good cargo pants for general innawoodsing and ccing? So far i just have one pair of truspec 24/7's and they're the only pants i have with enough room to cc comfortably.
>>30384475
Yeah I usually have an issued h harness belt webbing, im not from the usa that's what we are issued here. It's terrible for being in vehicles. I'm just transferring from infantry so want a good setup for the new job I'll be doing.
>>30384554
I only wanted to leave Canuckistan as soon as possible...
>>30384450
im a guardsman infantry, which is similarly funded. i dont know much about cav scouts, but you work mostly as recon for armor groups and combat armor brigades right? that means vehicles. which to me sounds like armor carrier small packs, and light equipment, because you should have a resupply and a support by fire. (your vehicles)
>>30384646
I'm not from the us but yeah here the the cav scouts are either mounted in light vehicles or a part of a dismounted recon unit which I beleive I will start out in until I complete the driver qualifications and depending on what positions are needed to fill I suppose
>>30384643
what is the problem? just get a license
Asking again.
Want a battle belt.
What get?
i managed to break my peltor 6s tacticals. the right ear is all static. i really liked using them especially on live fire because even when i lost visual with my team leader is i could still hear him. if comms didnt matter, what would you recommend for tactical under ach ear pro
budget is $200
>>30384677
do you guys wear body armor?
are you issued a radio?
are there minimum "combat loads" you need to meet?
>>30384646
Ya, I was in the guard too, started as mechanized Infantry, then we became cav scouts for a while, then we switched back to being Infantry. Literally nothing else changed.
>>30384695
i bought the tyr belt and loved in. my inner belt shipped today so im excited to see how it feels.
this velocity systems belt also looks cool. skeletor seems to like his.
the hsgi suregrip is still the golden standard.
>>30384716
We wear armour and helmets on during live firing exercises but most exercises we go without. I think the team leader/section conmander is only issued the radio, that's with infantry anyway. We don't have personal radios to talk amongst the sections
>>30384737
>hsgi suregrip is still the golden standard
>nearly $200 for belt and inner belt
Wow, and people actually buy that?
>>30384903
not everyone's a neet :^)
>>30384934
Spoken like a true gear queer.
Meanwhile the rest of us like decent cost/benefit ratios.
>>30384903
There's no reason to get the inner belt if you already own a decent 2" gun belt. I paid 100 CAD for the outer belt only and it must say it's comfy af. Suregrip actually works.
>>30384526
Acquire AR-15
>>30384766
we wear helmets for almost everything. theres a push to get us iotvs, but usually we jus wear flcs and get ibas to slip underneath for live ammo.
team leader (sergeants, incharge of 3 guys, do you have the same set up?) and up have radios.
i was just asking to gauge what you need for your loadout. >>30384934
>>30384903
the pad is what $80? and the inner belt doesnt have to be a cobra belt, but even those max out at $70
so you know, $150 max. not $200.
first spear sells a $115 pad.
and you could always go cheaper. eahle industries belt, $20. ive got one it works fine
a law enforcemnt duty belt with first spear belt keepers for your molle pouches, thats cheap.
using a duty belt as the inner belt for a cheap pad like the shellback tactical warfighter on clearance on tactical assault gear, $60
an alice belt with a blackhawk! alice molle pad.
theres options out there man.
>>30384986
Suggestions on which company?
>>30384986
the right answer.
>>30385001
hurr wut body armor vest is dat?????
jk. lbt 6094s before any motherfuckers ask
but as for the kit, either pick one gun as your fighting rifle and build your gear around that, or switch to all taco pouches. switching out your panel everyday seems exhausting. thats my biggest criticism
>mfw I still don't have a plate carrier
Are the respirators like the ones made by 3m as good as gas masks?
>>30384563
Anyone?
>>30385168
Assuming both are full-face, there's virtually no difference. And just realize that milsurp has a much higher likelihood of having lost its integrity (filters, fit, seals, etc)
P100 is the filtration standard you're going to want to look for
>>30384379
>using a toy gun to practice drawing and firing while being attacked by a buddy

LA Police Gear Operator Tactical Pants
My absolute favorite cargo/tactical pant. Forget about 5.11, Blackhawk!, etc. I own a few of each, but they just don't compare.
- Have a contoured look unlike most of the the other brands
- many colors to chose from
- lightweight compared to the other brands
- MASSIVE side cargo pockets (I can fit a tablet in mine)
- only cost 25 bones a pair
>>30385695
Thanks amigo, how are they on water resistance?
Building a rig and bug out bag right now. Here is my rig, what are some essentials I need? Anything wrong so far?
>>30381931
Some pretty basic gear familiarization stuff is just positional drills. Start with rifle aimed standing, take a knee and aim, drop to prone and aim. Then work your way back up in reverse. You can incorporate squatting or sitting positions if you want.
>>30385792
They're basic 60% Polyester / 40% Cotton rip-stop fabric so nothing special. They seem to dry pretty quickly in my experience after being caught in heavy rainstorms.
>>30385675
more food. pouch on the right is all medical
>>30384563
Depends on price range, if you are looking lower budget but still all fancy operator you could do UR Tactical. Or CRYE if your rich af. Or just get good hiking/outdoor pants from MEC/REI, cant get any more inna woods companies.
>>30384903
Its possible to cheap out on the inner belt, it will see far less wear being inside the other, I don't know how cheap one might want to go but options exist... like really cheap options.

You really don't want to just be laying on your gun when you get in the prone. SERPAs are shit tier holsters that are banned from FLETC for a reason.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXakcPB0evk
>>30386128
on your belt. you can put on your fucking belt. crossdraw is a slow draw and chest mounting adds bulk to the exact area you want to keep rather slim.
serpa holsters button release puts your finger in unsafe location, increasing the risk of negligent discharge. and if dirt gets jammed up in there, good luck drawing your weapon.
>>30386078
mostly MRE's and mountain house but also some nuts, kind bars/cliff bars, that sort of thing

Mystery Ranch make excellent packs. Pricy, but you won't need to buy another. They are built solid and they make "military" and "civilian" variants. I've got a military 6500 pack. It's been really good to me for living out of. They come in tan, multicam, or you can get older ones used in grey.
Speaking of packs, anyone here checked out the arcteryx khard 60?

>>30386623
I have never gone the poncho route as a coverall. Instead, I use wet weather clothing for myself and a pack cover for the bag. You can get elastic pack covers at any camping store, or get a milsurp one if you wanna be tacticool.
My wet weather clothing is an oversized rain jacket with a hood and an optional early gen military black fleece or waffle top if it is cold enough underneath.

If you have electronics, they should already be individually wrapped or protected.

I think this is the better place to post than camo general, but I could be wrong.
I'm looking to get a full set of gear, but I'm unhealthily into aesthetics. Will all green gear (OD probably, but maybe ranger green?) work with any camo? Specifically tiger stripe and flectarn patterns? (two of my favorites) Does anybody have any pictures to this effect?
>>30384961
That's what people who buy shit gear tell themselves
Please recommend me a 7.62x39 AK chest rig or webbing system. Not something wholly ancient and obsolete like old chicom rigs or anything please.

Check out ebay, russtac has copied the d3 light and heavy. There are positive reviews on YouTube. If your looking for strictly a chest rig (no armor) look at strikehardgear. USA made combloc oriented.
>>30387183
Any camo? No. Camo that has mostly green in them? Yes. You wouldn't wear all green gear with desert camo etc.
>>30387183

Now I can become a hobbit.
I just ordered a us palm defender carrier from a overstock sale. Got it for $50! Gonna get some ar500 plates for it, and I'm not sure on pouches. Thinking 2 mag pouches for my 300 blackout, then a small ifak besides that. Would like to find a way to attach one of my fix blades and my beofeng, but I don't want it to be bulky and big.
I live way back innawoods. Been shot at a few times. Long wait for police and medical attention. So I want something I can keep in my jeep incase shtf, which it often does here.
Also want low pro incase I'm out and about in a city and things get sketchy, I can wear it under a large shirt or jacket .
I have the Armour Wear level IV standalones, does anyone know how well they fit into a Banshee since they are not an exact SAPI pattern? I bought this damn knockoff of a FAPC carrier and they fit like shit. I think I would've been better off getting the Banshee from the word go. I have got to stop being such a jew with my gun and gear purchases.
>>30388431
How much?

>>30389036

Any airshit guys that aren't too cringy?
>>30388947
Yeah, I had to get a xl in multicam. But I'm 6'3 235, so I don't mind it. Plus, fot $50 its a steal. The inserts for the xl that us palm makes are a odd size. I'm hoping the ar500 plates I'm going to order will fit it. The carrier Should be here Saturday or monday. I'll update with some photos and measurements.
As of now I only do advance to the target while firing and reloading drills until I can build some cover set ups to bring with me when I go shoot.
Anyone else have more infogprahics to dump?
Yeah, but not really for training, just info

>only retards make safety mistakes!!!
while I don't buy into fatalist thinking like "if you carry or shoot a gun long enough, you'll have a ND," this kind of thinking is not accepted in any other field. Just look at the way safety is handled in human factors engineering for aircraft, electric plants, hospitals, etc. The reality is that some fairly competent people (at least according to their education and past experience) can do some pretty dumb shit even though they "know better."

your cat is adorable but you're going to die in shtf
My last answer was kinda shitty
>at home
Familiarize myself with my kit.
Knowing where and what is in my rig and how to retrieve in the dark without making a huge mess.
I sometimes wear my Chicom and just practice taking out mags while browsing 4chan or watching a movie.
Building the muscle memory on how to work the toggle: left-hand, right-hand, gloved, ungloved.
So much so, I become fluid and comfortable working in it.
Take my rifle
rest the buttstock to my bicep
Focus on a target and bringing my gun to what I'm focusing on
Dryfire drills.
>range
Range time is just range time with me.
Chest rig , no chest rig
Gear, No gear
I just work on not building any training scars.

I can't get my carrier to sit right. But i don't have plates in it yet, should i keep trying to adjust or just wait until my plates get here.

>>30390908
The plates won't make much of a difference vertically. Your plates should sit high. Don't bother adjusting the width. What carrier is that? But I was serious about a bulking phase.
Recommend some softshells that won't break my wallet. Something in 100-200 price range.

Hello /gq/
Are Gorkas any good?
I live in Texas so it's mainly hot for most of the year.
Any suggestions on vests/plate carriers?
I shoot, but don't own any gear, and want to be ready for any situation that would require me to gear up.
>>30383244
are those 33rd 9mm mags? If so, what pouches are those?
>>30390407
>but you're going to die in shtf
Yeah he really should have $1200 worth of the latest shit he won't use unless you count posting on /k/ to impress some fags
>>30393077
I am in South Ga don't buy a Gorka, it is comfy and sexy but you won't use it enough to justify it.
>>30393077
Okie here
Gorkas are just heavy windproof suits
They're only good for below 60*F windy weather anything above that you're better off wearing something more lightweight.

some questions and answer that might be useful
Will you use a car?
No, then you can use the molle space if you plan on hoofing it everywhere, and your packs to never sit right.
Do you want it to be scalable?
Yes, then check out the slick systems, and swift clip systems.
How much of a comfy prone do you want?
Very comfy, Then look at single mag pouches and don't put extra crap on the front of your vest.
>>30393404
Goddamn can we sticky this shit?
>>30381931
I fucking love helmets with masks (too many sci-fi shooters) but I'm pretty sure they just fuck up your vision
>>30386369
I wouldn't worry about it
Are there any pants similar in color to Arcteryx's "crocodile"? Preferably not as expensive as Arcteryx?
If not, I'll prob just get some coyote pants.

What is the ruck?
So.. How exactly retarded would it be to blow 1500$ on a full kit of Siege R?
>>30384333
lightweight is the only weigh.
There isn't enough Jigsaw gear.
>>30394138
As in, a siege-r and the MASS system? Dont get me wrong, i kinda want an armor carrier (of at least side plates) after seeing all the places I got shot doing MOUT, but fuck groin, neck, shoulder, and arm armor.
>>30394298
I totally understand that but it looks so gucci it's hard to resist and i have the shekels.
Talk me out of it please.
>>30394138

You best do it before I pull the trigger
>>30388838
Hurr, and that's why you buy the real thing.
>>30394836
What carrier is this?
>>30394836
The groin protector from that auction looks a bit odd, not exactly like on the fs site.

Diamondback Tactical Fast Attack Plate Carrier (FAPC) - final generation
>>30394836
>Green Team
>Rogue Warrior
my nigga. Don't really read fiction, but Green Team was a fun read.
>>30394950
That's because it looks to be an early gen MASS system, before they switched from MOLLE/PALS to their 6/12 laser cut attachment system.
>>30395195
How good are the tubes anyway? Seems like not so comfy shouldering a rifle on that tube.
I think I'll just get a new srtandhogg in the end.
>>30393404
>Will you use a car?
>No, then you can use the molle space if you plan on hoofing it everywhere, and your packs to never sit right.
I meant the rear molle space when I was talking about this.
>>30395237
I mean, I have the stt and for a while, I bitched about it 24/7.
Tubes means no Velcro hat
Tubes means consistent side plate placement hat
Tubes means a fast don/soft yay
With ar15s, I've had zero issues shouldering my weapon. The m1 garand is the only thing I've shouldered that's given me grief
The side tubes means less molle estate. Which kinda sucks.
All in all, I think it's a neat idea and decent enough system.
Hey what's the simplest mkv/mp4 to webm converter? I have pantaeo shit that I believe is relevant...

samefag? Forgot I was gonna call you a smart ass...
>Establish cover and shoot at them.
sounds about right though
>>30395237
I frigging love tubes. No more annoying velcro! Just slide, snap, and go! My experience may be a bit different as my armor carrier only has tubes on the sides instead of the shoulders. I know some other anons on here have First Spear vests, so they may be able to chime in.
>>30395358
>samefag?
Yep
>>Establish cover and shoot at them.
>sounds about right though
Yeah, but I felt it wasn't too helpful.
I use XMedia Recode
Just got my order of jackets in from TAG. If anyone was on the fence about these for $30, don't be.
>>30395478
>wasn't too helpful.
tryna pick up your slack: my first conversion was gonna be from Pat Mac's carbine course wherein he discusses the importance of changing your firing position when shooting from cover. Otherwise it's much easier for OPFOR to draw a bead on you, appearing in the same spot over and over
Would XMedia Recode happen to be free? (bed time)
>>30394125
65L flecktarn ruck, look that up and you'll find it
>>30395962
Yeah, I believe XMedia is free.
>>30395962
I used to play paintball when I was young, and that was one of the first things you learn.
The things I took from the game was Aggression, Suppression, and Communication.
Those 3 being huge if you want to win.
As well as cover manipulation
>>30391567
Damn, I couldn't add my own review.
"This product was a great purchase. Islamic law states I cannot allow my Quran to touch the ground or be touched without washing myself first. This cover is great for these rules and allows me to praise god when I am camping and out shooting! Thanks guys for a great product! Praise Allah and his one True profit Muhammad. Peace be upon him. "
OK so I need a new back pack for hiking/hunting/class/operating. What should I get guys? Black is nice and I would like to be able to put on all my patches but I can't tell one tacticool pack from another.
>>30387941
I did just that
>>30382360
Plenty of people here play airsoft, it's just that this isn't the board to discuss it on.
I taught my Nephew the basics of operating an AK and an AR with an air soft gun, they're almost 1:1 replicas externally.

I am going to try that Any other colors?

>standing in the same spot after literally getting shot in the head
>>30396040
nice, well i'll put something together when I have time...not off until Monday though
>>30396319
Maybe start looking at the Spec Ops brand THE pack? See what you like and don't like about it. It's a perfect medium size pack for me, compresses nicely, but it's big enough to take camping (even accepts a removable frame that transforms it into a ruck to be reckoned with)
>>30381931

It's also worthwhile checking at your local surplus store for good prices on used platecarriers.
>>30383813
>i got a deadbird hat because all other products are too expensive
Is the platac bullock a good choice for a small combat oriented daypack? Are there any similar alternatives? My only conern is the price.

Point Blank PACA old generation
they're like $300 for the same exact generation he's wearing
you can get an airshit repro and the quality is literally the exact same, I've had both
>>30395469
I have no problems shouldering with the toobz
>>30398687
Thanks, and the airshit is exact same you say? Is their any other difference or thing I need to know before I buy it for low profile rig
>>30395489
I just bought one, my Goretex jacket was one of my favorite pieces of issued gear, and night desert is ballin. $35 shipped for one is a steal.
>>30398029
