Gear Queer -?

Yea, I swear by their stuff but you can’t really go into it blind. A lot of their kit uses their proprietary “adapt” system so you should really piece it together in your head before buying. Next time read the description lmao

yea I agree, all the other belts are just knockoffs, like Hayley's belt is literally the same but 2'' instead of 1.75,

>but but Muh material cost
Doesn't justify it being $100-150 more.
Hayley and these GBRS gays need to just fricking off themselves tbh. Costa too, the fricker shills more than I have ever seen. He's literally shilling tactical lever gats.

$50 gear is the same as $150 gear. I don't give a frick what anyone says. People who spend hundreds on rigs are fricking stupid and gay. The only thing worth a lot of money is good plates and night vision, and I don't frick with either and never will, so I don't care.

Sure, you can spend more and get that low-drag, high-speed gears that the ex-socom guys are shilling ... but it takes a special kind of delusional homosexual to think he is going to be running around in a plate carrier, battle helmet, $20K night vision, with coms, a SBR with IR laser and suppressor ... and will be getting into endless CQB battles and clearing buildings. I mean, how much of a wannabe does one have to be? Here is an infinitely more likely scenario in SHTF: you shoot at someone 100-200 yards away who is shooting back at you. In that situation, do you have magnification? Do you have a properly sighted in rifle with good ammo and a good trigger? Have you practiced shooting prone or supported off cover?

I would generally agree. Plates, NV, Optics, firearms, shit that matters. A fricking 50 dollar belt vs. 250 GBRS homosexualry isn't going to mean the difference between life and death. Same with shit like jackets and micro rigs and all this other homosexualry. Opscore helmet with good NV, quality plates, carrier, good rifle setup, thermal, IFAK, and hydration is all you need.

“Yea you don’t need to spend that much”
>opscore helmet
>nods
>good rifle
>thermal
>save $100 on the belt I guess?

bando posting should be a bannable offense

man I remember thinking my C&R and being 21 made me an expert
you'll grow out of this phase, too.

Meme loadouts are the best, don't let em knock you

It's a surplus Nomex tanker hood, works very well with the millennium

>oooo I'm 25 unemployed and still in college doing a meme polsci degree
>I'm a man

where are your fricking plates you mong

the photo was taken the day I got the PC. That’s why there’s literally no pouches in it also. Plates were in the mail still. They’re in now.

Just because you can doesn't mean you should. PCs are also the right solution for pouch real estate in the chest & back areas that chest rigs can't accomplish.

You’re not wrong but you’d be encasing yourself in something that would retain an excessive amount of body heat for no reason.

as should being fat and tripgayging

have a nice day

materialist fools will likely not fare well in the showdown between good and evil

by your own admission, plate and NVGs are worthwhile but you refuse to buy them in spite of recognizing their value. the only conclusion anybody can make is that youre a poorgay. either own what you are or be a seething b***h, its your call.

>le everyone itt is just larping
I remember when people in the military used to post here. funnily enough the endless bullshit from neverserveds drove most of them away

>tfw neither pog nor high speed
>issued gear is just fine but not very interesting
>unit's regs don't give much breathing room for customization and no one else does
I just live my life and larp on the weekends anyways.

there's technically nothing wrong with other companies making justasgood alternatives, but most of the fabric belts are just reinventing the wheel and slapping a different logo on it

the AXL eclipse belt is the only one which actually used tegris in an innovative and non-moronic way, the Ferro Bison and GBRS are complete and utter shit

>gets shot in the head and dies

>all firearms are rifles
>handguns and shrapnel don't exist
>no one in WW1, WW2, Vietnam wore helmet and no body armor
any more genius takes anon?

try currently in the military and issued a helmet

just admit you're a moronic larper and maybe have a nice day you massive homosexual

They can sometimes. If the rifle round doesn't hit perfectly or if it's coming in from kinda far away, a IIIA helmet can deflect what would've been an otherwise lethal shot. Happened plenty of times in Afghanistan.

Weight vs protection is always a tradeoff you're making, but your head is a pretty important body part and it's worth taking on some weight to protect.

Did you miss the part where they don't protect from fricking rifle rounds?

>doesn't protect from shit
ok moron

>Why the frick would you buy one
So you don’t end up dying from shrapnel like the two more than likely dead chechens in your pic

Tu stole the design from the original SMU belts. Parachute riggers had been making them for a decade. Tu is a trash human and doesn’t deserve your money when the new SMU is cheaper AND better quality
>t. Owned and deployed with them all

I dont but I can try a new one in a bit. Packing ATM

>Tu is human trash
I’ve heard this before. Can you elaborate?

Different but IIRC, he stole from the uplifts, shot himself through the foot and got b& from the 1 range, claimed “the Unit” despite never being delta and a host of less severe but still scummy shit that you’d think - as a GB - you wouldn’t HAVE to engage in to make it in the gear game

>Skinny jeans
Show bussy

Were they planning on carrying his body with them?

They probably could have tbh, since they are trained in E&E, if the Pakis never detected them ofc.

I use kidney pads I just don't use the weist strap. I buckle it behind the ruck. I also use gun belts that go through the beltloops.

Link me up

The one thing I'll say is I noticed he said he bought it from a third party dealer.

I looked into every single third party website selling these and they are all scams. They all sell tons of helmets (mostly listed as level 4, and for cheaper then MSRP) and all of them are fake.
Based on the price I bet he bought it from helmetbro.com

Maybe they are chinesium garbage, but I've seen good reviews from them and I can't help but notice that his bad review says he bought from a third party dealer which I warned about in my original post because as I've said I looked into all the third party dealers and they are scam sites

I have a pgd helmet already, and it's nowhere near as bad as hes saying his is(although my rails are also fricked and everyone in every review ever says the rails are unusable)

And sure all helmet companies have middle men, but most helmet companies have REPUTABLE middlemen.
The only people reselling PGD helmets are helmetbro and bulletproofzone and both of them have sketchy pricing that makes no sense, incorrect NIJ ratings, and seem to be total scams when you look into them

When I have $1300 for a proper helmet I'll definitely upgrade (although I'll probably keep the pads off my PGD since it seems they make the nicest pads and tons of people swap their helmet pads for PGDS, even that redditor said it was comfy) but for now I'm confident it'll hold up to it's protection rating, it looks good, doesn't have unfinished parts that are rusting, and suits my needs just fine as far as mounting a monocle on the front

Again, maybe you are right and they are pure chinesium, but I said it in the first place that the third party sellers all seem like clear fake scams, and he says be bought off a third party.

>starting with that high of a price makes me think you're being disingenuous
I guess you are implying I'm a shill for pgd because I'm not just agreeing with you and a single redditor who bought of a sketchy third party websites example?

But I don't know who galvion or gentex are, I've heard Avon is a good name to look for and they run anywhere between $700-1600 depending on the model. A proper good helmet is definitely around $1300.

As far as justasgoodium helmets I think my pgd is just fine, I see no reason to spend another whatever $500-700 to get a gentex or galvion or even lower tier Avon that's only slightly better then my pgd

Varusteleka had them on their site for a damn long while, infact they still do. Even have their 3a vests on there too.

Honestly it reads like he's just mad about how his snowflake earpro setup wouldn't work with the helmet and tried to find every little fault he could.
The rails being shit seems like a common complaint though.

The issue isn't your experience in general, it's that it doesn't apply to me. Nor is it likely to apply to the guy looking to buy a "heavy" 1.2 pound riot shield.
An opinion of "it's bulky" or "it's not ballastic rated enough for me" would have some weight, if only a little. "I'm too weak for it" doesn't come into play at all for other that might not be so weak.
Also worth noting that the Paulson riot shield weights about the same as a pvs-14 with battery and a mount, but without a counter weight.

I don't recommend steel plates at all. I don't think anybody here seriously/unironically does. They're a horrible idea.
Hesco makes good and cheap ceramic plates. Highcom makes good ceramic plates. You can also get all-poly plates relatively cheaply these days.

.A.N.G.E.

???

>M995
It's not rated to stop it

Okay smartass, what plates aren't dogshit then?

Like

Highcom, Hesco, and Hoplite are all much more reputable than RMA. Pick one and find a plate in your price-range.
I like the Highcom Guardian 3s9m.

said there are loads, I like my Hesco 4400’s
