A semi auto belt fead weapon is pointless you would be better off with a M4 or AK for 1/3 the price

Already have one of those ;)

Can you bump fire a 249??

@Stannisthemannis You can bumpfire anything

NOICE

They make semi-auto SAWs?

Automatic literally in the name

For padding on the backside, there is that spray foam stuff that comes in a can. I think it's called Kwik Foam. It expands pretty good once its sprayed on. Anyone tried that?

That stuff is to hard

You would be better off gluing fome to the back then putting some fabric over it

Or in the mid evil times they used thick lether

Helmet liner pads??

There should be a coordinated shield beating chant that we do to intimidate the enemy

Buy a roll of camp mat at Wall mart for $8

Cut it out and use spray adhesive or dap contact cement

Voila

@Stannisthemannis

I decided against it, but for offensive use of a shield it would be hard to beat one of these on each arm! #overkill

I like it! Like a buckler

THIS just premiered at SHOT show 2017, and will definitely be the ticket for Cville 3.0.

@PureDureSure only if you what to get it grabbed and your ass whooped do to the hood controlling you by the shield

That thing is mall ninja junk

@HueTheHand

If you think that thing is for hand-to-hand, you're sorely mistaken. You mount the rifle for a reason: the standoff distance.

If your watch the promo videos they are trying to promote it as being used for CQB

Mobility is life that thing is death

There is a resin why in Iraq we stoped using full interceptor baddy armor and switched to plate carriers

I'd rather go prone behind cover tbh

But I'll get behind you if you want to carry it ;)

Clearly it's going to be used for breaching/assaults, and in teams. There is a difference between CQB and H2H. If someone gets close enough to you to grab it/you before you've put them down with gunfire, you're already in more trouble than you should be, shield or not.

In situations where law enforcement will have a need for such tactics and equipment, they typically have a great deal more prep time and intel than soldiers are ever afforded. It's for set-piece assaults, not fluid warfare.

@PureDureSure you have never seen combat have you ...

It it is consensus in the LEO and Protection industry that that product is junk and will get people killed

Just like the side armor and arm armor the US MC tried using in Iraq but it got more people hurt then it helped

@HueTheHand

I also have a room temperature IQ, and can't possibly reason through the scenarios mentioned given the available information, before you ask.

Till you've been there you can't get it. I work PSD and was infantry/ PSD in the army for 17 years including 2 tors in the sand box.

That product is JUNK

*slow clap*

If you what to get your self hurt by using junk go for it

Or you can listen to people that know what they are taking about

Context, sir. Look up the thread.

I'm also a certified CQB and small unit combat instructor
