I'll take a new picture when I get my can in. I'm still debating getting that $200 ceramic plate set
>>28341209
Oops. I have the stock fully extended when I'm shooting.
>>28341178
What carrier is that?
>>28341229
LBT 6094A. Pretty sure it's swimmer cut.
Carrier costs just about 1200$ used
>>28341260
yeah but pretty sure it comes with plates doesnt it?
>>28341333
What the fuck, no, of course not.
>>28341346
odd since the modular plate carrier LT/LTC does
>>28341398
This is a SURPLUS carrier. You can't buy them new in AOR1.
1200 for the carrier alone, used
>>28341434
>1200 USD in nylon
Holy Cock
What the fuck for?!
>>28341853
only made for the military. so rare factor.

I haven't really read gear queer threads at all, what are some good plate carriers for not a whole lot of cash? (plates not included of course)

>>28342219
/k/ generally recommends a slick carrier, so you can run just plates or a chest rig on top
You'll usually be looking about $100+ for anything that's not regarded by the gq's as airshit
Check out skd tac's Pig Brig ~$120
http://www.skdtac.com/PIG-Brig-Plate-Carrier-All-Molle-Rear-SYSTEMA-p/pig.401.htm
Ferro Concepts makes a slick with a cummerbund that allows you to carry mags on your sides, around ~$123
http://ferroconcepts.com/products/the-slickster
If you want webbing, Shellback/TAG should have a carrier or two for around $100 also
https://www.tacticalassaultgearstore.com
>>28342600
(Not him)
Why a slick carrier? What does it have over a normal molle'd one except maybe be .3mm slimmer?
>>28341853
memepat
faggotcam
>>28342650
/k/ typically does not recommend a slick.
Figure out what you need to carry on the carrier, then find the best one that can fit it. for me that be a bladder bag, 3 magazines, and an Ifak on my right side.
I bought a JPC because it has kangaroos for mags (i use a dtandard shingle but same deal) and it has molle on the back for my lbt bladder pouch. The ifak rides on the cummerbund.
Placcards are cool in concept but theyre needles bulky, just like a layered chest rig. That shit shifts around.
/k/ might recommend slicks for a cheapo option since most quality brands make some slick for ~$100, but a dedciated PC is better
What's a good, durable pair of gloves for under $100?
>>28342219
If you're not in a job where getting shot is a normal assumed risk don't waste your money on plate carriers and stick to just a rig. I personally shill http://www.kommandostore.com/by-country/south-africa/south-african-defense-force-pattern-83-chest-rig.html
Take the money you saved and put it towards ammo and personal development.
If you do work such a job here you go http://www.skdtac.com/FirstSpear-The-Slick-x2122-Ultralight-Plate-Car-p/fsr.521.htm
>>28342650
It's way more adaptive and flexible.
I have all my shit on a dedicated pc because I want to put one thing on and be good to go but this also means that I'm relatively restricted as if I want to switch to a more discreet kit, or drop the excess because I'm going to be in a turret, or switch from a 5.56 kit to a 7.62 kit, etc I need to have the time and opportunity to take my pc off, remove what I don't want, add what I do want, and don it again.
Slick + rig(s) means each item can be worn separately or together and any changes to the rig can be made in seconds instead of minutes and without reducing protective posture as the slick need not be removed.
If you always stay in a very tight and specific lane there is nothing wrong with a dedicated pc but if you're military you will definitely want the option to drop gear while mounted actions.
>>28342691
Cheers! If i may; You say you have 3 mags upfront and I see this quite a lot, what's the reasoning behind this, is it a range thing, that's just what's comfy? How much would you say is good for combat? I'm talking about full on battles, Syrian civil war style?
And belts with soft armour, worth it?
Sorry for pouncing on you with questions <3
>>28342834
Go to your nearest hardware store and pick a pair out that are less than $30. Mechanix is a popular choice.
>>28342848
Not him but for me I carry four mags on my rig and one in my gun. Mostly a range thing because I don't plan to be in any extended fights and I find that weight very manageable.
I go with four because I've had an exmil buddy tell me a general rule is a soldier can fight back to a resupply or evac with three mags at a minimum.
So I have my three+one on my rig, the plus one for reloads or if I have a malfunction where I need to abandon the in gun mag. My thought process is if I can't solve a problem in 60 shots by myself it shouldn't be a problem I am willingly taking on.
As for going to war many Vets will swear by the six minimum on their gear, though I have heard and seen photos of troops with many more, I've had a buddy tell me he carried 12 mags which seems a bit excessive but I have never served so who am I to say.
Armored belts for me seem a bit unnecessary, but that is with my thought mentality, I even think plates are pushing necessary for me but that doesn't mean I don't want them and probably wont get them.
The belt seems a bit useless to me because it covers such a smaller and less vital area than a plate would. Also I'm not much of a fan of soft armor, unless if fits in your job I suppose like a LEO or armored car operator and I can't really see them wearing a battle belt unless there are others I'm unaware of.
shit faced as I type this so excuse any errors hope it helps, hopefully someone more sober and knowledgeable can chime in.
>>28342848
Not him but
>3 mags upfront and I see this quite a lot, what's the reasoning behind this
It weighs less and is slimmer which allows for a lower position when firing in the prone.
It also means that if the person finds themselves in a protracted engagement they should withdraw for fear of running out of ammo and that their ability to provide suppressing fire necessary for effective fire and maneuver is limited.
>How much would you say is good for combat?
6+1 is a basic military combat load. When heavy contact is anticipated 1.5-2x that is not unheard of alongside contico boxes/milk crates of loaded mags in vehicles or static positions.
>>28342961
>implying I only carry 3 mags
>>28342848
my three other mags are on my belt, for a total of seven. I cant weigh in on soft armor in a belt but it would do a better job at protecting you lower back and kidneys.
>>28342836
>thinks he will be changing rifles on the fly
Just have a dedicated vest/rig for .308 and a dedicated PC for 5.56. easy peasy. As for shedding excess shit, get a belt
>>28342961
oh and in regards to a prolonged fire fight: I dont have those, I live in a farm house in Illinois. My "grab and go" is a BFG with 4 mags and an Ifak. It is there if I need to deal with some shit around my house.

What are some good tactical pants brands? I got 5.11s and they ripped within the week, I walked a total of maybe 4 miles in them while on duty and the mace can and flashlight I kept in the cargo pockets started wearing holes through them. A buddy also said his ripped the first time he fell in them. These obviously are cosplay pants and can't hold up to real use worth a shit but I don't know of any other options.
is this high speed high drag enough?
>>28343316
I bet you're a filthy secondary.
>>28343315
Bullshit. I've worn the same 5.11s everyday for 2 years, used every pair from EDW to hiking to heavy innawoods, and they are still in tact everywhere. You probably got yours a size too tight. 5.11 Taclite Pros are excellent pants.
>>28343348
They don't use universal sizing for some reason, and the waist sizes were small medium and large. I got small which was advertised as 27"-31", which should have been ok since I'm a size 29-30, but the straps were so tight they stayed at a size 27... Why they do this idk, seems fucking retarded. Universal sizing is universal for a reason.
But anyway I cut the straps so they stayed at a size 35+ with no retention on the waist other than what my belt provided, that probably wasn't the issue. Try actually doing things in them, fatty. I'm willing to wager that material won't hold up if your knees touch the ground more than a few times, it couldn't even hold up a 1.8oz can of mace...
What are some good winter Oper8n trousers? Lightweight summer stuff I got down, but I don't know what'll work for winter short of milsurp ECW stuff which is probably a little overkill. Anyone have any suggestions?
>>28343394
>the waist sizes were small medium and large
You bought fake 5.11s, they aren't sized like that.
>>28343394
>I cut the straps
And what straps are you talking about? Those don't sound like TacLite Pros at all. Take a picture of the pants.
>>28343394
You got some bootleg 511 pants, bro. Hope you didn't pay too much for them.
Here is the sizing on their website. Like most American mens clothing makers, they use measured waist sizes:

>>28343412
>>28343469
I suspected they were knockoffs, but the retailer is legit (tacticalgear). Already got a refund sans shipping costs. They used to size them how I described, they switched because rightfully everyone complained.
Still no one has thrown out some other brands. I'm about to go full Dickies at this point...
>>28343329

I'm accusing you of not actually playing Touhou games or knowing any of the lore but instead just dressing up as one of the characters because you want attention on the internet.
>>28344064
Yeah, really happy they made them in N-Kamo, sadly they made like two batches, they arent planing on making any more at the moment.
Really want to get the G3 all weather field pants and shirt in either Ranger Green or Multicam. Most likely multicam
>>28344117
I have a pair of the All Weather Combat Pants in Ranger Green. They are the best thing ever, I highly recommend them, even at the 310$ pricetag
I'm sure that doesn't really bother you since you have a 700$ LEAF Alpha though, heh

Ranger Green would be nice, it's also more "acceptable" in civilian use.
I might also invest in a firstspear siege-r optimized, plate carrier. But I'll have to decide if I'm going for ranger green or multicam, depends on what set of crye I get.

Carabiner is always nice to have on your vest. I have one on mine, on the left shoulder. If you have a ring on your weapon's rails, you can attach it to the vest for long patrols, skiing, etc.
>>28344330

I have ceramic level IV plates, and a set of SAPI plates. I'm leaning towards the SAPI as they are lighter and this is for SHTF where I doubt if I will encounter threats using AP. Do the SAPI's need kevlar behind them to be effective, and do they break as easily as everyone says?
>>28344868
SAPI's are ceramic
yes you need backing on them
no don't be throwing them like frisbees and you'll be fine
>>28344269
help
>>28344874
HSGI tacos fit both mag types. :)
>>28344868
>>28344872
SAPIs do need kevlar backing to be the most effective. ESAPIs are standalone.
>>28344868
I use III+ ceramic plates, weight 4.5 pounds.
>>28344874
I like the Warrior Pathfinder. Its like the HSP D3CR but less gay and more ammo
>>28344868
Don't listen to >>28344898
3+ =/= 4
>>28344905
you're never going to be shot at with AP rounds bro
>>28344891
I already have the AK rig though.
>>28344899
I'll check it out
>>28344911
What makes you so sure? You never know what you need until you need it, and by then it's too late. Get the best protection available and stop cutting corners with your life.
>>28344920
I'd rather save 10 pounds off my kit to prepare for realistic threats
>>28344928
>I'd rather cut corners preparing for a situation where I could possibly die
Good on you, but don't think everyone else values their life as little as you value yours.
>>28344954
kek
Are there any differences between the MICH 2000's of different manufacturers? Anyone have any second hand buying advice? Thanks
>>28344928
Also, Medium ESAPIs weigh 1lb more than your shitty 3+. If you can't handle 2 extra pounds for much better protection you probably have more problems to worry about first, like fitting into a plate carrier that doesn't require that much material to make it weigh 10 lbs like you claim.
>>28345059
Buy an Ops Core... MICH 2001s made by revision are more or less the same spec as the old MSA ones, but they are heavy as shit compared to Ops Cores. I'm not an Ops Core fanboy at all, but for the money, you're just better off buying an OC.
>>28342990
>implying I only carry 3 mags
There's nothing wrong if you did and many people do, don't get defensive.
>>28343001
>thinks he will be changing rifles on the fly
I have gone from mounted operations, to an extended foot patrol, to shifting between 5.56 and 7.62 in a single day. This was made very convenient for me by slick + rig. It's okay if you haven't.
>>28343007
>oh and in regards to a prolonged fire fight: I dont have those
I presumed that already but okay.
>>28345209
Ok cool thanks, is there a way I can get them on the other side of the pond? I assume they're ITAR registered like plates
>>28345209
>>28345352
Hang on, HOW MUCH??
I know I said I wasn't wearing camo anymore, but I'm going to buy some surplus multicam goretex for the rate rain and as an outer cold weather shell.
$160 for a top and bottom online, and about to check prices at a local surplus store.
>>28345209
team wendy's exfil is probably the best option now a days. it just won the ADF contract
>>28345074
sorry sempai but I'm quite comfortable with these specs http://bulletproofme.com/RP-Level-3-PLUS-Ceramic.html light infantry is all about staying light... I have the full level 4 compliment including side plates and the whole thing at 30 odd pounds is only suitable for convoy duty which I will unlikely ever have a requirement for.
>>28345729
>light infantry
>light
POG or never served.
>>28345632
Yeah, I guess.. Ops Core High Cut, Airframe and Exfil Ballistic are all in the same general price range. I would probably buy an Airframe out of that lot.
I really don't see a reason to buy an EXFIL, they are pretty niche and don't have as much component support. They are also not incredibly light at 2.6 pounds, compared to 2.3 for the Airframe and 2.64 for the Ops Core (Taking these from TNVC btw). EXFILs come with railz and shroud standard though
Actually, with the fantastic Cam Fit and Zorbium pads, the EXFIL is a lot more appealing... You're really only paying maybe 600$ for the shell, all the add ons make the extra 350-ish dollars.
If I bought an Airframe and put a Cam Fit, Zorbiums, Crye Cover, Crye Rails, and a Norotos Universal Shroud, it would cost about 1400$
>>28345800
well there is a reason the ADF is replacing their airframes with them
>>28345742
yes since joining the military is a waste of time and earning potential, no thanks.
>>28345838
I still like the way air frames look tho
>>28345960
So thanks for confirming you have no clue what you're talking about when it comes to gear and its use.
>>28346017
if you think military "training" to know how to use gear you are retarded. stay there plz.
i have a question, does any body know where i can get a good vest or chest rig in woodland camo.
im a bit of a fashion diva with my gear and it as to all be the same for each set
>>28346039
It sure gives you perspective when you actually use it for extended periods of time in real situations. Not my fault you want to use shit gear.
>>28346055
like most americans, my threat model in order consists of: drunks, nignogs: spics, rogue leo's, and terror attacks. if I'm lucky I'll never have to use my gear for extended periods of time.
>>28346212
It's still no reason to be shilling shit gear and spreading bad information.
>>28346232
it's not shitty gear or bad info. it's state of the art, sorry that wasn't around during your indoc.
>>28346244
>less protection is state of the art
You realize 3 and 3+ aren't standalone plates right? Only level 4 is. Leave the operating to the guys who actually know something.
>>28346212

>>28347328
Heh.
Have you used any wilcox mounts to compare it to? I haven't had a chance to dick with an AKA2, but I have heard they are at least on par with L4 G24 mounts.

That's the very definition of a secondary. I don't care as long as you don't pretend to know shit about 2hu.
I like your dress though
>>28344317
get a JPC. the airlight has straps on interior side of the carrier for plate support. that shit would bind on everything.

>>28348763
I think so, at least if you have 7.62x51 mags to put into it
>>28347664
As I understand it the 30rd version is for 30rd and more mags. If you have 10 or 20rd magazines you'll need the universal

Had good luck with these and anything else from their company.
So, looked again did research. Looking at 4 plate carriers the intended use being training in my personal time and with my guard unit, as personal armor is authorized. But that means it needs to have enough room to carry 6 magazines, 2 grenade, 1 flash, at least 1 canteen, and one medical pouch.
It also needs to fit medium sapis and 10x12 plates, as my trainers and issued plates are med., and my standalones coming in the mail are 10x12

Does yours have kevlar sewn in? And do you plan on getting plates for it?
>>28350945
I can already tell it's a slippery fucking slope. Doesn't help that the guy who gave it to me has pretty much anything I'd ever want available for sale.
I bought two PEQ-2's, a PEQ-15, two PVS-14's, three IR beacons and four eotechs from him. He gave me these as a thanks.
Hell, he sent me a text a few days ago saying he may be getting his hands on a fucking pair of GPNVG-18's.
>>28350993
It's got kevlar.
He threw in two contoured AR500 plates.

>>28351077
A set of GPNVG's? Maybe if I can get more than one pair.
I'd maybe sell one of the PEQ's and an eotech or two. The two PVS's are for coupling on my norotos mount.
What's wrong with AR500? I thought it was pretty good.
I can't imagine ceramics would work well for me. I need something that wont be compromised because I keep dropping it/tripping and falling on it.
I'm about to order these. Any last "dont do it!!"s before I do? I'm going off of the guidance here; just starting to get into a PC/IFAK kit from just a battle belt. (5'9 170lbs; the 10x12 going to fit fine?)

>>28351121
AR500 can get penetrated by 5.56 M193 and common hunting rounds. Whereas ceramics are good up to and including AP 5.56 and AP .30-06.
Ceramics are quite durable. It's mainly dropping them on the corners you have to not do.

Ceramics aren't sensitive as most people would have you think. You can drop to the prone and fall on your back in them repeatedly and they'll be fine. As long as you don't drop them on the corners, which I know for a fact you have the hand-eye coordination not to, they're fine. The military wouldn't be issued ceramics if they were that weak.

Measure from nipple to nipple. How far is that distance? A properly sized plate should cover that. Here's a pic of a sapi medium (trainer plate, obviously) compared to me.

>>28351613
I have no experience with any of those carriers, The closest I would have is the Mayflower APC, I have the Velocity LWPC which is pretty much the same carrier without MOLLE and shoulder pads. Do you have local stores that sell plate carriers? I usually try that first to get a feel of how it will fit, how the material feels, etc before I buy it. But going off your list I'd say the APC is the way to go.

Break it out by focus, at least a little. Like "muh every american a rifleman" gear, "I wish I was an 11b" gear, "greyman" gear, etc. Basically mission-based suggestions.
I didn't see the last three, though, so maybe that's exactly how they're organized.

I think load amount would be a good idea.
If I go a reread your old infographics, I think you suggested 6+1 primary, 2+1 secondary. But that doesn't apply to all people.
A discussion of different loads for different mission types maybe
Infantry patrol load
Assaulter's load
HD set up
Active shooter
You could talk about different types of clothing
Combat boots vs hiking mids vs tennis shoes
Bdus vs Acus vs 5/11 vs Cyre vs Blue jeans
Layer properly for cold weather
Combat shirts vs blouses vs tees vs underarmor performance stuff
You could talk about not gear stuff and discuss ar15 styles if you were comfortable with that. It's a project I was considering for the /arg/ tripfags to work together on. An infographic of various ar15 builds for different POUs.
if i wasnt a peasnt, id be gear queer as fuck. but for now....i utilize pockets.

>>28352135
I have a rare birth defect that basically left a hollow iny upper chest. I've modified my armor to not block bullets but to deflect and direct fire into that funnel, where it passes straight through my system and out the back (back plate has a hole too) so that while it punctures the skin, it skips all of my vitals and arteries. (Spine too, I have a vertebrae there that splits in half.

also, isnt it weird to be looking through your optic, but the NVG not looking at the target?
I appreciate all the suggestions. I'm steering clear of load outs because I feel that it would be getting away from the basics I've tried to stick to and that it also gets cosplay-ish. Plenty of blogs and websites out there with big lists of, "Every X should have these." I will strongly consider discussing accessories. I have also been considering discussing training, fitness, and dedicated plate carrier versus slick and rig.

>I think you suggested 6+1 primary, 2+1 secondary. But that doesn't apply to all people.
For primary I state that one should carry as much as they need to ensure that they don't run empty and their physical abilities. Whether that's just 1+1 or 12+1 is on them. I will say for secondary I would not recommend having more than 2+1. If you can carry more than 2+1 secondary mags you should be carrying more primary mags or just saving the weight, period.
Look forward to seeing any /arg/ info produced.

>>28352801
it looks like it only has a front pocket added extra than the 3, which would be covered by armor anyway. I plan to get a 4 to keep my 3 company anyway though, i like the 4 color scheme.
>>28352627
Well, if that's really a plate carrier, that front plate sits real fucking low. Hilariously so.
See here >>28351613
But it really looks like a chest rig. Makes me confused just looking at it.

>training, fitness,
I think you need to decide if you want to keep going with gear queer infographics, or expand to other environments, because while those topics are important for anyone who actually USES gear, they're starting to get off topic, and "stray from the basics" as you said.
That being said, I'd like to see on this board is more discussion of training and fitness as there both of interest to me, but I think it could easily lead to one upman ship and chair bound Travis Haleys.
If you do pc, chest rigs, slicks n' shit, don't forgot to talk about battle belts and subloads. Subloads may be situational or maybe just dumb, but just like surplus steel helmets and crappy drop legs holsters, you should include them.

I get what you're saying but I personally feel that training and fitness are basics of gear and that discussing them reflects my guides' intent at being directed at those who want to actually use their gear. If I do a write-up I'll definitely orient the focus of either to revolve around gear and not just be the /fit/ sticky or whatever.
>subloads
I'll definitely keep them in mind.
