POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Armorpilled and TQ maxxing at @milsimwest’s The Volga Bridge this Halloween.

I typically don’t run plates in field AOs, but the @3f_supply RRV and MAP pack make it easy to add/drop armor as needed throughout the event so I can tailor my kit to the phase of the operation I’m in.

Cadre who ran the @arcturus.tactical ARM Block 1 M4A1 last event had nothing hit good things to say about its reliability and performance—looking forward to using mine.

Sometimes you just gotta step back and enjoy a little bit of the ambience.

If you forget to take cool pictures professionally LARPing, it’s okay because @admin_airsoft_2 will take photos of you yelling at customers to stop shooting in the air and pretending you know how to read a watch.

Another great weekend working the best job with the best people and (some of) the best customers. by @mack_msw

No matter what chest rig setups I try, I always end up coming back to this.
•
I’ve spent as much time wearing a chest rig as I have a plate carrier in the Army, if not more. And if there’s a right way to set a chest rig up, it’s probably something like this. The cadre at @milsimwest include recon, Rangers, scouts, STA… just about all of them run their rig up something like this:
•
Fighting load up front with some minimal admin space for pre-staged signal items or smart cards, radio on the non-firing side, double mag pouch opposite, canteen pouch on the right, GP pouch on the left. This enables me to carry 5+ mags, commo, signal, a 1L bottle, and still have space left over for an IFAK/NODs/etc. The double magazine pouch can easily flex for to carry a smoke or for a second radio. For anyone in a leadership position, I think that pretty much covers your bases.
•
Whether I’m setting up for @milsimwest or a real-world requirement, retro or modern—this is almost always my build. Last pro tip: an AVS admin zipper fits the admin pouch on your RRV perfectly.

Great event as the insurgent leader, Father Makarov at @milsimwest Flashpoint Ferghana.

Great chance to run the @kwa_airsoft M9, and a tricky way to conceal a pistol mag with a @awsgear LAB panel. by @mack_msw

NATO’s honor remains.

Hard fought event, and a great start to this season’s force-on-force format.

Shoutout to our partners for making some of our equipment possible:

BLUF: the CHLK Belt by @blueforcegear is my favorite battle belt, hands down. I’ve never been a fan of the typical types of battle belts (one-piece/padded, Ronin-style/nylon, slotted/Tegris), but the CHLK Belt has each platform’s upsides and avoids the downsides.

1. By using a shape that contours the body, heavy items are NOT biting straight to your hips regardless of where a pouch is mounted. Contact with the hips and lower back means that weight is spread-loaded equally, without the slippage and surface area of a one-piece padded belt.

2. The MOLLE Minus system ensures that pouches are woven over and into the belt, not just hanging off like on your Ronin-style nylon belts. Gear slop and pouch movement that loosens up is eliminated.

3. Load-Rating may not be an MSW factor, but it’s something that matters to many professionals. Despite using a slotted, non-nylon system, a 1-inch nylon webbing is still woven the length of the belt, including retention lanyard anchor points, resulting in a 3500-lb load rating.

If the battle belts on the market aren’t satisfying you, this is the platform to reach for. It’ll certainly be my go-to from now on. by @mack_msw

Got a solid Pre-season workout in tonight at a local park with a PC:

-1 mile run to the park: 8:10 mile pace
-.20 sprints around the track x 3 sets
-25 Air squats x 3 sets
-15 Burpees x 3 sets
-50 mountain climbers x 3 sets
-1 mile run back: 7:45 pace

Run it as fast as you can. Good smoke session.

As usual, the @blueforcegear GP pouch coming in clutch for modern day smart phones that are larger than big screen TVs… jk
