while niggas did dog pile on him, he wasn't very receptive to actual criticism, and just spouted those dumb reasons
well he did take our advice, and then clam it as his own idea
>I don’t copy other people
>look my designs are good because these well known brands did the same thing years ago
Imagine making a carrier on par with a 6094 in terms of innovation in 2020
on par ?
6094 looks ok
Tbh it's hard to just hop on a sewing machine and shit out something revolutionary
Meant in design
Just copying things can be difficult enough
I mean its tough when most advancements we see are materials based
Except gorilla hands was trying to be innovative
by copying older designs
It's extra hard to come up with useful changes if you're just a couch operator and only get feedback from other couch operators
Like the SPC is pretty much a JPC2.0 with better materials
It's not like any sf niggas gonna buy his designs, or anything I could make either
He's just selling to Facebook and /ak/ ironic weebs
Its not terribly hard to ask mil or LEO if theres something they like or don't like about a design
is it really that hard to copy
Theres a decent enough market popping up with "improvement gear"
Sometimes you look at a seam and it's confusing how it was put together or in what order
You dont have to be super novel, AXL has a good service just sewing tubes to cummerbunds
yeah a lot of the better startup fabricmancers these days are just making add-ons or upgrades to existing plate carriers
Its totally fine to do shit like that
Not to mention that if you want to copy something exactly right, you often need one to look at and one to cut up
Copying shit is kinda wack
Unless theres a reason to
It's useful just to learn
Because its going to be hard to sell your version vs current production
Not to sell like some shameless chink
Unless its something like how the LVMBAV used to be where it was unobtanium for a bit
I'm mostly talking about becoming good at sewing and designing things, not selling them
Oh I feel you
But theres people who copy stuff and its a hard sell unless its soemthing hard to find or not made anymore
Like theres a dude online who was making medium and small sized Eagle MBAV carriers in RG to fill in the ranger larp market
did you mean ferro 😏
Lmao no it was some IG nerd
ik
Its going to be tougher for people as materials are changing
