Force Multipliers, Go:
I'm amazed only 1 person mentioned comm... A good means of secure communication has to near the top of list of low dollar high yield things. Many of the other things listed are made much more valuable if you can then get the info to the folks that need it and coordinate. -
How much ammo?
Need a better question. As asked. How much should you have? As much as you can afford and store. Or as someone stated as much as your wife will tolerate. Think the question your asking is how much to you need? Even that requires another question.. Need for WHAT? Home Defense, Zombie... -
URBAN NIGHT NAVIGATION DOWNTOWN ATL ON FOOT.
Okay I Ruck with a few people up here in Ellijay couple times a week. We carry anywhere between 20-90lbs and make 3.2 to 5 miles in anywhere between 50-90 minutes. Two weeks ago we set out to do Springer to Dicks Gap in Hiawassee in 3 days and were successful. Carrying 20-25lbs we made 27.6... -

Air soft training
Yeah. Some of the games I'd go to there are 12 year olds at that have 2000 rd beta mags and guns with a crazy ROF and FPS.... talk about spray and pray. I always carried 30 rd mags. 220 rounds rifle just like real. Sucks when you get killed by a fetus with a unrealistic gun. But if my... -
Air soft training
He was being literal and he is right. Airsoft is not "what you use" malfunctions, reloads, recoil, sound, ammo weight, richochettes, cover vs. conceal, heat, flash the list goes on. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise IMHO. With that said you are 110% correct that being able to... -
Air soft training
Agreed. Sims and the MILES (military integrated laser engagement system) (uses blanks) are about the best I'm aware of. There are some video simulators now coming available to civilians. You shoot real bullets from your personal gun (pistol / rifle) in a room with with 3 d video simulations... -
Air soft training
I train and shoot a lot in Ellijay now. I've done sim classes, IDPA, USPSA, 3 Gun, 2 Gun and Airsoft. They all with help you strengthen different skill sets. However none are like the real thing IMHO. Simply knowing that your not going to die or get wounded changes it to a game. So all... -
Theft of the future
That's pretty much the way it works. No doubt will collapse one day. However, one must admit the waves of cash in existence make it real easy to do well now. We live like gods compared to our ancestors. -
SHTF chest rig/plate carrier
This is the most interesting question. I can say the of the 100's of people I invite to come train and or shoot IDPA almost no one comes. I'd say less than 1/2% are interested in doing any serious training. The last training I went to there were guys there with $3000 in gear and gun that... -
Modified 5 point contingency
Solid. Better than chasing your tail guessing at where everyone will be. -
SHTF chest rig/plate carrier
Something to consider in the decision to get AR500 steel plates. -
SHTF chest rig/plate carrier
I want to know what he keeps in those frag pouches;) I don't think he was coming after you, I think he was trying to be funny:thumb: But agree with your overall statement. I've had SWAT,LEO, MILITARY guys come out to matches perform poorly and instead of adapting and overcoming they make up... -
SHTF chest rig/plate carrier
No ones really addressed the 3rd curve in ceramic and it's posative impact on prone and alternate postion shooing. -
SHTF chest rig/plate carrier
Level IIIa soft armor, behind the plates and I've got a flexable mesh that I can run under the vest that allows for airflow and absorbs some impact. This will allow you to ditch the plate and still have all handgun and frag protection. -
SHTF chest rig/plate carrier
This is my feeling about the need for ULTRA MULTI HIT capability. If there's that many rounds hitting you your bound to catch one in the face, neck, pelvis. A ceramic can take anything an AR500 plate can take at a fraction of the weight. Granted it is more susceptible to damage from blunt... -
SHTF chest rig/plate carrier
Agreed.. Not trying to bash your rig just using as an example to make my point. As I said as long as your equipment fits with your predicted use and budget then you're golden.. It has been my experience that larger predator hunting calibers and AP over .308 zips through AR 500. Were... -
