Blackjack13 Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I don't mean to be a *rickroll*, but I don't understand that set-up. How do you access/use half those pouches? How do you shoulder your rifle? Are you right or left handed, or are you so ambidextrous that you make Chris Costa your *badgeress*? When are cyalumes more important than reloads? When's an admin pouch more important than reloads? Why do you even have an admin pouch when you've already got velcro on the upper chest and two empty utility pouches? Although as you're running 8+1 primary mags you probably won't need them, where are your pistol mags?I think you've got the potential for a good set-up there, but how it's laid out at the moment doesn't seem efficient.*I'm overly blunt at times, just ask Spetz....

Vila Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 I'm guessing the mag pouches are placed that way for easier access while prone? Also, if he has any pistol mag pouches, perhaps they're on a 1st line? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vebsta Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 Vila is correct mag pouches are placed that way for easier access while prone, cyalumes are just there for the pic a pistol mag pouch will go there when in arrives, i can access all the pouches relatively easily just takes practice to get used to the position of them, I can shoulder a rifle easily, the radio and sidearm don't get in they way and the utility pouches would usually contain spare ammo/snacks. But the layout of the pouches does get moved around suit the environment if at CQB mag pouches get move to the front, but at woodland the go on the side as you tend to go prone more when in a woodland environment than at a CQB site.

Blackjack13 Posted May 17, 2013 Report Share Posted May 17, 2013 Tidy.Although that set-up wouldn't work for me, you've clearly thought it out and know what works for you! It's obviously not a throw everything on in the hopes it looks cool get-up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GhostWolf Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Want some advice guys, I am running a pmc loadout. Should I keep all the shingles going the way they are or double them up at the front? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 How much shooting do you do in games? Do you go through all your mags? Or just half your mags? Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Failcat Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Wolf, personally, I'd rather have and not need than need and not have. I try to run inserts on all of my carriers, and then run some sort of mag setup on top of that (usually yielding a total of 6 mags). That way, if I'm playing a shorter game, I can close up the insert, and run three mags. I typically shoot a lot. When I ran a chest rig, I would run 10 mags. Now that I run carriers, I run six up front, one upside down on the cummerbund or belt via kydex or fast-mag, and one in the gun, for a grand total of 8. I also keep a fully loaded speedloader in my fanny pack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GhostWolf Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 I mainly use single shot, but when the heat is on can move to auto and these are only 75 round mags. Some games I will use only 4 or 5, if it's been a long session I can go through all 8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sacairsoftsn00py Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 You could always buy mags with larger capacity. Or add more pouches and go for a lil bit of realism with lower capacity mags...or just filling mags a certain amount. Personally, I dont like rigs to be very bulky as I mainly play cqb. You could also do some research and see how people set up their plate carriers ...then think about how you want yours set up.

Yup, Real Crye CPC (M/M) I ordered if from leafgear.nl, retailer from Crye in the Netherlands. It wasn't in stock, but I only had to wait 1-1,5 months. And it's very comfy, Love it. (I made a small calculation, and for the moment, I have about 2800€ on Crye gear lying around. :S ) And to join the mag-discussion: I play with about 5-7 mid/lowcaps, and always play single or burst.

Jimmypie Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 Love my CPC, and just picked up another JPC , really regretted selling my last one . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Failcat Posted May 19, 2013 Report Share Posted May 19, 2013 JPCs are about as mainstream as Justin Bieber now-a-days, but they're so darn comfy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pa_mick Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Same set up for field and CQB. I carry 3 AR mags in my BFG triple on the plate carrier and two in esstac pouches on my battle belt plus one in the gun. It keeps a slimmer profile with all my mags up front and clean on the sides it allows you to hug the ground a lot tighter too.I keep a few mags in my MAP pack in case I need them.

AMC1096 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 One specific question, what size is that in that photo? What is the size difference besides plates? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PianoBlack Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 The pictured PICO is a size medium. The size difference besides plates is cummerbund length. -Piano Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AMC1096 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 It seems tall, height wise, for a size medium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PianoBlack Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 That's a byproduct of the angle of the photograph and the fact there were no plates in the vest when photographed. The plate carrier is roughly 1/2 inch longer than the ESAPI plates that were in it due to the nature of the soft armor. -Piano Quote Link to post Share on other sites
