08kecarv Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 @08kecarv: Thanks a lot for the pics! What size is your FAPC? Is it me or does it look a bit small on you? Also, do you really double up on rigs like that during gameplay? It just seems like the FAPC is useless if you aren't using it's molle and what not since it's supposed to be a "lightweight" setup. Yeah its small, I didn't realize it was a size small when I bought it but it provides good enough coverage that I can't justify buying a whole new one. And yeah I do double up on the rigs but surprisingly its extremely light and high speed, low drag. I plan on getting some molle pouches but I just haven't decided which ones I want yet I am however definitely going to buy a S.T.R.I.K.E platform for my M9 and put it on the top rows of the FAPC. On gripe I have though is that since there's an even amount of molle loops you can't center things but its okay, I don't mind that much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well depending on how much of a skew you get with the even molle, it shouldn't be too bad. If I may ask, how tall are you and about how much do you weigh? I am ~5'4" and 135 lbs. I'm 26 also so there ain't gonna be any growth happening here except maybe in the gut area haha. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
08kecarv Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm about 5'9.5" and 155 lbs and 20yrs. Sounds like a small might fight you pretty well. Im debating whether or not to stick with my small or just go find a medium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hakkon Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 I'm 5'8" and 125lbs, and the Small Gen. II FAPC fits me perfectly (one of the few rigs that does, tbh). On my friend Communi, who is only a touch bigger than me, it looks a tiny bit to small, but a Medium would have fit really well. (and I still think he needs to get one. Screw soft armour. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romeo98 Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Here's mine from this past weekend. I'm loving my FAPC. Not much attached to it since I was a "Tank driver" that weekend but still, very comfortable for what I need it. Edited October 23, 2009 by Romeo98 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ketix Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Looks kind of small to me. How much stuff can you fit on this thing? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
08kecarv Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Looks kind of small to me. How much stuff can you fit on this thing? Not much honestly, but again, its not meant to hold a lot, hence the name (Fast Attack Plate Carrier). Im looking into getting mag pouches for mine, but I want them to be the single mag sized pouches (in terms of footprint) but hold 2 mags. I need three of those. Basically I want a double mag pouch, as I need at least 6 mags for where I play (very speedball; HATE Hawai'i Airsoft...), can anyone offer any help? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Do it the simple way and just get two triple shingles Quote Link to post Share on other sites
08kecarv Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 I don't to have to stack them on top of eachother. Oh, I forgot to mention that I need them to be open top too, no flaps. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Get three Eagle Single M4 Pouches and cut off the flaps (I just tuck the flaps in, and this works perfectly fine, but if you absolutely have to get rid of them...) http://www.skdtac.com/Eagle_M4_Single_Mag_...e_p/eag.231.htm There's not a snowball's chance in hell of getting six mags onto that rig without stacking two mags depthwise...

SantaSCSI Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 Something like this will do the trick: http://www.uktactical.com/acatalog/NEWTMOP5.56mm500.jpg My bet is that stacking might be needed. Those FAPCs are small as hell . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
08kecarv Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Thanks Pkekyo-Nor, thats exactly what I was looking for. I'll just tuck the flap in, it'll work for me. Mahalo! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crotmate Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 i have to ask as i thought my warrior RICAS was a plate carrier, but when people say plate carrier is it simply designed to carry the plates and not a whole lot else, since the ones i have seen in this thread dont have much room for MOLLE attatchments Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Technically, if it carries both plates and soft armor it's an Armor Carrier. - Not to be confused with your everyday low profile BA, of course...

Hard to see whether it's attached to the vest or not. Edited October 30, 2009 by CKinnerley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnc2k Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Warrior RICAS: Things have changed/moved around since the above pic. (Sorry for crappy pics...)
