jdizzle921 Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 For those of you guys running the Eagle Active Shooter/Regular chest rigs.... Is there any sort of way to securely rig up a MAP or maybe a MULE (Or some type of backpack type hydration system) with the chest rig that you can think of? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 The weight of 3L of water + goodies would probably drag the chest rig up very high, why not just wear a MULE standalone? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AllanOne Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I run the MULE standalone with a PACA and lbt, and its really tight. No wobble when climbing or running. Its a LBT 1961a in OD but dusted, Tan PACA(replica) and a 3 color MULE. And ofc the PTW CQB 08. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Hunk Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 +1 to running a separate unit. You can easily rig something up but its more trouble then its worth. The flat straps of the active shooter make it great for a Camelbak. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AllanOne Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 And the smart thing over a MAP style bag is, that you can actual get thing in your backpack(mule) without the help of others, or taking off the vest/rig. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Romeo98 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 A light setup during a training day... I love that Chicom Chest rig!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
James Kelly Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'm running a Chicom over armor at the moment as well, and I really like the simplicity that it offers. When I ran an EI Chest rig, despite it being a very basic platform, I found myself looking for things to fill the empty MOLLE space, rather than streamlining it as much as possible. The standard Chicom is a very basic rig, but it carries everything that I need it to, and nothing else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
08kecarv Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) Unloaded I'm really considering getting rid of the UTV actually and just building up the FAPC. Edited November 4, 2009 by 08kecarv Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hakkon Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 I'd ditch the UTV. It looks a little uncomfortable with the FAPC underneath it. With a bit of creativity, you could probably get three double M4 pouches on the front, and then either run a belt kit, or ditch the last two mags (or stick them in pockets. Not the most tacticool, but hell, it works sometimes. ). That way you also have two HSLD kits that you can use depending on your mood. But then again my opinion is biased. I'm a complete FAPC ######!

Agent Hunk Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 (edited) Can you even fit a complete load out on the FAPC without a heavy belt kit? Edit: Saw your location. Previous question may be negligible. Edited November 4, 2009 by Agent Hunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The standard Chicom is a very basic rig, but it carries everything that I need it to, and nothing else. The Chicom was one of those things that I bought initially for my AK loadout, but then I began using it for a lot of things. It was a nice surprise for me to see how something so simple is so functional. During a recent game I ran the Chicom over an FAPC that only had my pistol on it and worked pretty well. Since I was driving a tank that day I was able to stay very light and beef up when I needed to. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually thats almost exactly what I was thinking. I'm either gonna run a 2 triple shingles stacked on each or go with 2 double pouches and get 2 fast mags for a molle belt that I'm going to buy. Can you even fit a complete load out on the FAPC without a heavy belt kit? Edit: Saw your location. Previous question may be negligible. Yeah down here in Hawai'i you don't really need to carry a lot of kit, especially since the games are no longer than 15 minutes (ARRGGGGGHHH SPEEDBALL!!!!!!!!!!! ) I'll just carry a light belt kit to complement the FAPC or on hot days I'll just carry the UTV and just wear underarmor. However all that hinges upon the idea of me selling it or not. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Communi Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Here is a picture of me from a game that some of the dudes from Utah went to in CO a few months ago. . . . I know . . . my chicom looks far too low on my chest. Trust me, it isn't. I don't know why, but it looks super low, I don't remember it hanging down that low at all.

Hakkon Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 Yes! You can see the corner of my head and glasses in that pic! @ Agent Hunk, ouch. Although, I can fit almost as much on my FAPC as I can with my Russian M23 Pioneer vest, or my Russian webbing. Not all of us are speedball rockers all the time. Although, looking at Communi's pic, we all do look pretty bad *albatross* with chest rigs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bbondaloose Posted November 8, 2009 Report Share Posted November 8, 2009 Anyone have any pics of the SKD Eagle Ind. Active Shooter Chest Rig? I really want to get one in Ranger Green really soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Hunk Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Two variations of mine are a few pages back along with an updated one early this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nodaisho Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Chinese Type 63 Chicom. Don't really use it much anymore though seeing as I sold my guns that had magazines that fit it... What fit in there? Did AK magazines fit? It seems like they should, but 30 rounders or 45 rounders wouldn't shut the flaps. Is that right? There are some at a surplus store nearby and they are dirt cheap with plenty of pouches, seems like a good deal to me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sierra hotel Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) The two main arguments I've noticed on Arnie's about this subject are: 1) Don't wear patches unless you've earned them. -OR- 2)Wear whatever patch you want but respect it and don't pretend/claim to be part of that unit or group. I like the second argument, but this isn't the right thread to have a debate or discuss it in detail. Edited November 11, 2009 by sierra hotel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Misfit Posted November 11, 2009 Report Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) And I like it when people don't derail threads with pointless arguments. Get back on topic please. Edited November 11, 2009 by Misfit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoE.Solidius Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 When the arrow head is upside down it usually means a shadow squad from a group. A round of long tabbed who are experts in there field are attached to each other and run Black Ops under the specific mission. - MSG Raliegh (3rd Special Forces Group FT Bragg) Great rig though, makes me miss my Olive Drab.
