Vol/Ken

Do your name like mine

alright Ken, please ask us your question

Make it Volken (Vol/Ken)

I was looking in getting a plate carrier and i wanted to know does it matter if it's a replica or not?

If it still functions as a plate carrier.

@Volken most repros aren't really designed to handle much weight and abuse

if you want to actually use it for carrying armour, get a real plate carrier

like TMC or Condor

The quality in a repro is going to suffer big time if it's just some massed produced airshit thing.

Condor gang 😎

Depends on who makes it, usually yeah they skimp out on proper QC and stitching for actual gear loads compared to airsoft

Know anything about Gear Craft?

cringe

check info and pastebins for a list on good companies

>Russian gear

😬

🇱🇰

Alright thanks for the insight

np Ken, good luck in your journey

I mean are you American?

Yeah

I live in a shithole tho. lol

The shipping on Russian gear makes it not worth the money saved tbh

Also Russian gear is really mediocre

It was just a question, It wasn't the only one i was looking at.

yeah don't get Russian gear

if you're on a budget go to some surplus stores and find some dirt cheap issued shit

I was in my surplus store the other day and i saw a 120$ plate carrier, Tho i didn't look at the brand but it made me start thinking about picking one up. I might go back and see who makes it

Well, buying used Slavshit off a US based airsofter alleviates the shipping issue

that carrier probably isn't very good

yea just be careful not to waste your money on cringe shit

isn’t the party harness like

decent

never used one personally

Yeah

I live in California and my surplus store seems to be pretty dumb when it comes to prices, i saw a FM-50 gas mask for 150$ lol

How much do you think an ACH never used would go for by any chance? Also would it be wise to even pick one up

$90-150~

Pretty good budget helmet

Or you could buy the $45 alibaba special
