Yep

Trauma pads?

And whats a taps system.

Soft inserts. Lv2 handgun protection

And a taps system is a transitional adaptive something system

I'll link one

What are those for

The trauma pads i mean

Additional armor

Wouldmt the level 4 plate stop sshit

So the trauma pads go in directly behind the main plate, still inside the carrier though?

Yes

Gotcha

MOLLE, Tactial Assault Panel (TAP). NSN 8465-01-583-6329 / Genuine US Military Issue ACU https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01JT6KH4Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_1t9uEb3C1358V

I just feel like thats 4 extra plates of extra weight

They soft armor, kevlar not steel or ceram

They are nice

Its pretty light. I have a full lvl 3a vest thats 8lbs total

My carrier i ordered has MOLLE for 3 mag slots i think. Or its something i can add after

So even with front and sides its like, 12 pnds maybe ?

My lv4 plate carrier setup in the army was 35lbs with 8 magazines

Nice

My current is 22 with 7 mags and camelback

Thats doable

Front and back plates

No sides

But that diesnt really leave room for shit else gear wise

Im a little dude so I cut down

I would t take it with me if it was like extended scouting or anything

Wouldnt*

Thats why i want every armor "slot" filled, so i can kit out to fit my situation

I got an ifak on it, camelback, 6 mags, radio, front and back plates. And an assault pack with 16 more mags and my glock stendos

So my kit is about 40lbs loaded

More or less armor depending om situation

Yeah and if yiure doing scouting you need way more shit lol

Yo i know niggas that tried that and got back plate checked. You do you boo, but I would advise against that

Just depends on the situation really

I cant see justifying wearing 40+ pounds of combat gear for intel. Yeah shit can go bad i know that but fatique is a real thing

Get strong now

Lol

Like if i have HASP, level 4s, level 2 trauma pads, and all that, im not using all that to go look at something and come report back, speed and mobikity is more importanr in that sitch
