That’s awesome ! I’ve got fam near Muscatine

Every American has the right to quality body armor, gear, and medical equipment.. lets get this convo started and get guys squared away

I would highly advise against steel plates honestly. Composite or ceramic is the way to go.. no chance of spalling and lighter .. yes more money however you can get a rig and save money for quality plates that will save your life. That being said I have seen AR500’s new coating that stops spalling and I am a little impressed but after the coating they are about the same price as Ceramic or composite plates

Yeah bens a young buck

There is not a lot of info on these as to what they stop (on the link) if 5.56 is the only threat you may face these may not be terrible. But my I ask what about 7.62, 308, or any number of many other calibers that are becoming more popular. I’m not saying these are an absolute no go but what threats are you willing to expect

My bad I sent the wrong ones I thought it was weird they were almost all pistol calibers

👍🏻

Definitely looks more and more like revelations as time goes on

I’ve been working a lot of mechanical drills

I have not but that would be interesting to see

@kilowatt cocktail I run a ferro plate carrier I’m still playing around with wether or not I want to carry a “combat load” (210 Rounds)

But I agree with style, preference, mission and roll. But the modularity is really appealing

That’s smart with the buddy mag I’m debating getting a back Panel that can hold 3 mags

Yeah it’s all ideas I’ve been playing with

Ideally In a fire fight you would have others with you and possibly other elements. Working with a squad and utilizing talking guns to suppress the enemy and conserve ammo but that’s getting into tactics and such

Dedicated support elements would be a great tool and if you could pull something together with former SF I would be okay with tracking for it

Who’s EDC has a TQ if so how do you carry it ?

Rifle: aero
Optic: eotech
Sling: edger Sherman design or ferro concepts
Light: mod light

That’s my personal opinion but all are great quality and will last a long time

Yeah a little pricey once all said and done there are cheaper optics and slings out there but pieces together and spaced out over a couple months, not bad better than buying 5 400-700 dollar guns I’ve the same amount of time and crab I did the same thing I had 3 or 4 rifles before my first ar.

Think about where you live and where you would employ a 308. If you live somewhere you can push the 308 round to its limits and capitalize on that rounds potential maybe it would be a good idea. Defined rolls are always an asset to any team or group. But if you live somewhere more populated or where you don’t have long sight lines I would stay clear of an AR10 and go with an AR15

That should be a crime

Even the grey cannon has a place in our culture and community even if it’s purely for the memes

Yeet cannon **

That sounds like a great idea !

That’s awesome Levi

Do you have to have a head set for that ?

I just read that this morning ! Lots to think about

That is an interesting concept

I think Sunday night might work best for me

I have an a2 and it does it’s job but I’ve heard really good things about surefire.

I’d pull the trigger on it (no pun intended) I’m getting a SF muzzle device and filing for a suppresser right before my deployment

😉

Cedar Rapids ?

Same in CR

I have a bunch of stuff from the medic in my unit but I also have a trex arms ITRAK I think it’s called

They partnered with North American rescues

No idea

Okay

That’s a really smart idea

On the medical side it’s all part of being a prepared and responsible citizen
