@jaruspk 1st link was fine. All of the webbing looks good.
I live and hike the mountains. Load bearing webbing is better than plate carrier mounted, vest, or chest mounted gear for weight distribution.
He’s got some dpm
@One Shot Paddy no, like I couldn't find plce
Oh
Yea eBay
The
Best
@One Shot Paddy gen1
gen2 uaaaa
Idk what the gens are
I just know what plce is
@One Shot Paddy gen1 is this olive and falkland stuff 2gen are those with spanish clip often in dpm
and gen3 is in ddpm and in pals system
Oh ok
Which one did he want
idk
@mcguyver123 what place u want? old school? iraq-afghan or new slick?
Oi
@mcguyver123 yeah but its hella expensive, commercial but made by company and hard to source
@jaruspk fuck....so you've got experience with a lot of this foreign stuff.
Do AS val mag pouches hold stanag mags?
nope
i mean you can put them but its not very comfy
wont recomend that
Like, the issue is as an American, I have AR, AK, Vz58, etc. I know one pouch wont "do it all" but a system can. So I was leaning towards smersh with AK mag pouches and have AS Val pouches as reserve pouches for AR use.
But if as val pouches wont work.... I guess I could just use regular OD m16 mag pouches on the smersh belt
I mean go for practicality over aesthetics. If you have to mix n match so be it
@mcguyver123 pals m16 or alice style?
@thedarkness05 of course. I'll see what I can come up with. Been using 1956 H suspenders on an HSGI molle belt with mixed alice and molle pouches. It works ok. But I'm needing a beefier belt, not a range belt
@jaruspk either would be fine, I have alice currently
Which arent great. Too rigid. Fine for protecting a radio though
smersh belt is thic af and wont do job with alice well
LBE and webbing work great for weight dispersal and all that, but I'll keep to my plate carriers n vests because of the armor capabilities
yeah but the gola is to not get hit in first place with webbing and lbe are more like cheep way to say" ok we have old and bulky af vest that are cheep but to keep em that way you will get lbe ivan"
I know the debate on speed/armor/firepower. All the same I cant outrun or dodge a bullet, so I'll opt for the plates
i prefer vest that i can dump and carry mags and belt with rest of mags ifak and survival gear
Everyone does it different, your set up is perfect for you
