buy nicer things or productive investments

2019-09-25 20:45:22 UTC  

@Runt nice mine was part of hoovers plan to fix the great depression

2019-09-25 20:45:53 UTC  

It was a 3 story textile mill n most of the beams and flooring are original

2019-09-25 20:46:03 UTC  

Also the exterior since its brick

I am embellishing a bit but it definitely works up some anxiety

2019-09-25 20:46:48 UTC  

🤔

2019-09-25 20:47:08 UTC  

Cheap shit is never worth it if its anything important

2019-09-25 20:47:08 UTC  

you can get comtacs for $200

2019-09-25 20:47:34 UTC  

regularly $300

2019-09-25 20:48:04 UTC  

Buying something new when there's an established "used/surplus" market is kinda dumb

2019-09-25 20:48:58 UTC  

also comtacs don't cancel noise

2019-09-25 20:49:40 UTC  

Didnt we all discuss comtacs yesterday

2019-09-25 20:49:43 UTC  

yes 😔

2019-09-25 20:49:50 UTC  

@Festive oh for sure
@CTL fair but its still a bit of sticker shock at first

2019-09-25 20:50:07 UTC  

Where do you like to look? When you say used/surplus are you talking like arfcom EE, eBay, and gunbroker?

Or is there a good website to get surp comtacs thru?

2019-09-25 20:50:39 UTC  

it kinda is when you're used to $25 leights but as with all things, as things get more expensive you get less value but they're still nicer

2019-09-25 20:50:51 UTC  

@SomeWarrior Ebay, Tacswap, facebook/insta, here even

2019-09-25 20:50:52 UTC  

@cuntface smoke weed with obama?

2019-09-25 20:51:29 UTC  

If you want to be cheap go buy $150 sordins with LEMOs

2019-09-25 20:51:32 UTC  

I was likely not part of yesterdays convo.
From what I was seeing there was active noise reduction/filtering so you could hear conversations during gun fire, is that incorrect?

Gunfire hella clips the mic on comtacs

I mean you can kinda talk but if there's active constant gunfire, no

2019-09-25 20:53:06 UTC  

@ottovfrankfurt So the primary purpose of comtacs isn't ear pro, it's situational awareness and communications.
They compress loud noises but if there is constant gunfire or droning, it'll cut out incoming voice

2019-09-25 20:53:19 UTC  

They also amplify quiet sounds

2019-09-25 20:53:46 UTC  

thats what i had always thought given my experience with other powered ear pro but I have never used comtacs

2019-09-25 20:53:52 UTC  

@Chase lel is that misurp?

2019-09-25 20:53:57 UTC  

the ear pro part is just barely enough so you're not going deaf from MG fire or shooting in a hallway

2019-09-25 20:54:08 UTC  

That's why radio/comms are useful.

2019-09-25 20:54:22 UTC  

@Lapland oxcides airsoft place

2019-09-25 20:54:27 UTC  

And yep, that's why I want the ops core AMP so I can double up my electronic earpro

2019-09-25 20:54:41 UTC  

Bc earmuffs are not enough

2019-09-25 20:54:41 UTC  

Literally who

I gave an example last night on how comtacs work

2019-09-25 20:55:16 UTC  

"A normal example that I just experienced under my 3s, walking my dog with comtacs on I couldn't hear my dog at all despite her being right next to me because my comtacs amplified the rustling trees and droning from cars.
Had my dog and I been wearing VI with NIBs, I would be able to pick up my dogs noises but I'd still be situationally aware of the rustling and cars."

2019-09-25 20:55:37 UTC  

The last part is the benefit of COmtac VIs but 🤷🏿

2019-09-25 20:55:44 UTC  

So the 6 is better, yes?

2019-09-25 20:56:05 UTC  

It is better but the benefit is the NIB voice shit that only works if all your friends are wearing 6s
