Back when I was poor, had a hand-me-down AR, and most of my kit was issued to me from the army.

Good ole days!

Hyper-ops combat uniform

Does anyone have any experience with Hyper-Ops uniform items? I haven't been able to find much about them aside from google translate, wondering how they stack up as far as durability

Best six-o'clock mag pouch

I was looking at a horizontal DM pouch with bungees or Esstc, or should I check out something with a flap?

Tactical gear with a low profile / civilian look

Hi folks,

I'm working in an office and am looking for the practicality and organisation capability of tactical gear (bags with organisation pockets, pouches, etc.), but that doesn't look military.

Do you know any brands that has this kind of in cognito products?

How do you find your camouflage?

I’ve been looking for some good camouflage patterns/brands and google isn’t any help. I’m looking for ideally ‘unique’ patterns (ie have not been used by any militaries) and are ideally effective against both thermal and NIR. The closest I’ve come is the RELV MOAB/Tunnel Rat as they work well in my area, but only sell to US citizens. I’ll also accept NIR compliant only. I know it’s a tall order, so if nothing like that exists I’ll settle for anything that works in forest/dead grass type area. Thanks in advance.

Opinion

Opinion on rhino rescue 4 things I have that are arguably the most important in an ifak. TQ, Chest seals, Compressed gauze, and Israeli bandage. Are any of those any good?

I need opinions

I got a tacticon bundle lvl 3a helmet and lvl 3+ plates and a carrier because it was a great deal. When I got the plates the label said lvl 3 and I called and asked they said that they put lvl 3 label on all steel plates. That seems a little off to me but anyways what’s the general opinion on tacticon?

Thinking about getting a streamlight Protac HL-X Pro and I have questions

  1. Is the flickering a real problem to worry about when using the pressure switch or in general? I’ve read about it on Reddit that a bunch of people where have that problem. If it is a serious problem Im thinking going to surefire

  2. If I get one with the rechargeable batteries is it safe to use the usb cable they provide or do I need some sort of smart charger?

Why do some operators carry AR magazine pouches (and sometimes have 12 gauge rounds) on their placard and battle belt while only carrying a completely different gun like an SAW?

This is the only picture of the JW GROM operator in Ukraine where I can find of such instance

Keeping it simple with this MPCR AOR1 chest rig

Just wanted to share this simple split front chest rig set up I through together. I’ll use one canteen pouch as an ifak and the other mostly empty maybe a pair of gloves with a handheld light. AOR1 and AOR2 need more love and you can still find pouches and rigs at a decent price if you shop around. The quality of GWOT eagle gear will out last us for sure.
