ECRRRainman Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 I read in the Army Times this morning that the US Army is currently in testing with the Crye Armor Chassis as a potential replacement to the Interceptor along with some other helmet to replace the ACH. Even though this most likely wont reduce the price of the Armor Chassis hopefully when it becomes more popular some knock off companies will possibly make a knock off of it. lets all pray together Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Happy10 Posted August 15, 2006 Report Share Posted August 15, 2006 That is actually very suprising and seems like BS to me, because the US Army just devloped a new uniform and already turned down MC once. They would be wasting an amazing amount of money. And IIRC the MICH/ACH was also recently devloped, so thats also highly un likely it will be replaced Link to post Share on other sites
ECRRRainman Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 From what I briefly read in the article these wont even be considered for larger scale use until near 2009-2010 and that is still a test phase. According to the article only a few Special forces training groups have done minor tests with the chassis and new helmets in general drills such as running, obstacle courses and shooting, no major testing done yet. I would also assume that if the US Army decides to go with the Crye armor chassis as standard issue they will make it in ACU Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Happy10 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Thats what I assumed, but it still would be an assload of money even just out fitting some of the most elite units. Because Crye will only make thier stuff as they dictate they are so stubborn that they would turn down a huge MIL contract because they would not make the Interceptors in MC. This implies that no way in hell will Crye make thier stuff in any pattern besides MC no matter how much they are offered. :S Link to post Share on other sites
Light Fighter Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I wouldnt take to heart much of anything that is said between the Army and Crye. Crye really screwed over the Army with the whole multicam contract fiasco. The Army is wearing ACU right now because Crye refused sell the Army only the uniform. Back on topic a bit, I'm working on my GRAW loadout as we speak. New job means more money, woo hoo Link to post Share on other sites

Trigger Happy10 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yep, the Crye Blast Belt is the only belt of its kind. It provides ballistic protection to a very important area in your lower back that no other armor to my knowldge can provide. Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I'll say this, if they come out with a replica I'll be over that like white on rice. Until I saw those pics at MM just now I never appreciated how cool that is. Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Happy10 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yeah exactly Isaac, its so cool. With the battle belt I heard somewhere that ICE Tac is doing a version of the Battle Belt, but dont hold your breath this was a while ago. Link to post Share on other sites
JCYC5 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 And it looks really comfy. Good fitting protection. How rare is that?! Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Happy10 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 I bet it is very comfortable, although I think there are going to be some armor chassies on egay within the next year in the prop department so keep your eyes peeled Link to post Share on other sites
ECRRRainman Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 All I am hoping for is that some company out there makes a MUCH cheaper replica. Im still praying Link to post Share on other sites
Titleist Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Well it's bound to happen, the question is when. Yeah it does look cool, we'll see what ICE comes up with, too bad as a company I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole. AWFUL service. Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Happy10 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Actually Isaac, ICE might not have gotten your email because the guys on a certian other forum have been in contact with ICE for a group order. Link to post Share on other sites

Crye really screwed over the Army with the whole multicam contract fiasco. The Army is wearing ACU right now because Crye refused sell the Army only the uniform. if that's true, than I'm slightly less mad at the army itself for the ACU.. I'm still mad that they don't seem to want to issue me mine though. They don't even sell DCU patrol caps out here any more. I'm stuck in my boonie. Which webpage..? JCYC5, the Multicam replica stuff webpage. or should I just email that guy.. somehow.. : ) haha, convinced the remnants of my "team" back home that multicam is the way to go. hooah to that. now all I gotta do is get there and teach them all the good stuff I've learned..

Trigger Happy10 Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 Yeah thats just horrible selling pratices. But I have had on an occasion where I thought I sent an email and then sent another one a week later bitching about not even reciving a reply. I was greeted by an email the next day that said they had recived no email from me, wierd eh? :/ Link to post Share on other sites
Onerimeuse Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 JCYC5, the one from your sig, the http://www.fotop.net/jeffcheng/multicam webpage. lol, sorry for not being a little more specific, my bad. so, in another forum I've been talking about ((well.. I posted once..)) making the eye piece.. it seems to me, that while a difficult project, at least having some fake eye piece is really needed to call it the ghost recon loadout, at least from singleplayer. but yeah, like people have said, the multi-player loadouts would work without that. but that's less fun. : ) Link to post Share on other sites
JCYC5 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 That would be replica Multicam Which pictures did you want a complete listing of loadout from? Link to post Share on other sites
No Trace 13 Posted August 17, 2006 Report Share Posted August 17, 2006 Well Ice Tac are still doing the battle belt, i got one on order, hopefully it should be here in a couple of weeks along with my Eagle PC+C in multicam , Peeps should check out the www.cryeassociates.com enjoy Link to post Share on other sites
