…not that they ever weren’t.

It's a pink JSTA kit.

For no other reason besides we wanted to.

I thought they hung down because that was the same orientation as the tag was, so I figured u could hang stuff off it maybe? But the. Now I see this picture when I searched for battle belts. Are they for attaching to a chest rig?

Edit: I have a suspicion they are for suspenders

Anyone have any input on an LMT 37mm and it's practical civilian uses? I've been considering one just for the vibes on my GL SSC but I'm conflicted.

My budget-friendly attempt at getting into hunting/long range. Should be fun.

Hello, I've been working on an OTV IBA setup.

(For larp and airsoft)

The problem is, I'm a tiny (5'6, 128lbs) guy.

I can't wear a pistol belt and the IBA at the same time due to how low the IBA sits on my body.

I'm interested in trying a cross-draw setup, but I'm unsure of where to re-place everything.

If I move the holster from where it is now (which doesn't work well at all), I'll have to move either my "ifak" (game related stuff for revives and flags) or my ammo pouches (the grenade pouches). I've also considered placing it where my water is as well. What do you recommend?

I'd like to keep my grenade/ammo pouches uniform and in the same position on both sides of the carrier if possible, but I'm open to any suggestions.

REAL ferro cummerbund is on the way I promise😭 I’ve never seen a review on this plate carrier other than the one video by them on YouTube that is in Japanese. I’ve been looking at VTG for a while now and was really interested in picking up one of their pc’s so I decided to order one, so far seems like it’s made with great materials and craftsman ship from a small Japanese company. I have a lot of shit on the way for it so I’m excited. Also I waited probably 3 months for it to finally be in stock. And the back plate bag zippers are compatible with Crye back panels

For anybody who might have been looking into one of these, I highly recommend. Mine came in right at the advertised length of ~4.75”. Just a tad heavy at 13.7oz which from what I can gather is in tolerance and acceptable across the board for LPBF printing for non solid objects, just over 5% heavier than anticipated. The hybrid flash hider was right at 3.2oz, same scenario as the suppressor itself, just 3% heavier than anticipated.

Flash was very good I would say for being such a short suppressor. About a 3-4 inch flame about the width of my finger. Mind you I am NOT using the recommended flow enhancer and opted for the micro flash hider. See my comment for flash test video. All shooting was done with PMC X-tac 55gr 5.56mm

Sound was good although I have no equipment to take actual readings. Significantly quieter compared to my RC2 mini. I was able to shoot approximately 90 rounds with no ear pro over a couple of hours with zero ringing in my ears, and no subsequent headaches or anything. (I understand this is not advisable but frankly I got lost in how nice the tone was at the ear that I just continued to shoot for a while.)

Gas to the face is also reduced adequately and I saw a significant improvement over my RC2 mini. No carbon locking issues or perceivable POI shifts with the hesion bow mount. Mind you this is just with what I could observe shooting steel, I will be doing a more thorough test on paper sometime this month.

I'm throwing medium USGI ESAPI plates in this, with a somewhat heavier load, What do we think about it, can't find much information

Anyone know if the osprey mk3 were actually made in woodland dpm. Usually I only see them ddpm but have never seen a woodland one for sale anywhere. Is it a custom thing or were these made for a different country, considering other countries also used dpm.

Made it to endor to test out the atacs gear
