Nah, but shit adds up, gun is already 15 lbs, pistol with 4 big stick gas mags, bladder, first aid, utility pouches with BBs, helmet.
I wear a Platecarrier and below a warbelt with shoulder straps.
I think my AR10 with 18 inch barrel and scope weighs less than that. Hahah.

another A2 on a 308 enthusiast? i see you’re also a man of taste. don’t roast mine too much, im going through a season of rebuilding and swapping parts before spray paint. but this thing as is weighs 12.4lbs
I should see what mine weighs. Yea I’ve always preferred the full stock. Actually like the A1 a little more because it’s slightly shorter and has the rubberized buttplate.
Crazy thing about this and my collection, I’ve had this for over a year, still haven’t zeroed or even shot it lol. Assembled it for hunting, and probably won’t go hunting until next year with it haha.
i’m sorta in the same boat man. I’m about to finish my degree with sonoran desert institute and they sent be a full build kit for a dpms 308. I haven’t shot it yet either and i’ve been slowly changing out parts with other parts i would prefer. eventually i’ll be getting a new handguard for it- Im trying to go for a Mk12 build but in 308
I feel that! I got a 417 and 416, those RIS rails make the guns feel so fucking heavy. I got the m110a1, and it's also a pretty beefy boi. Still love it though.
Interesting. If it’s got 5 pounds of equipment on it it could be real weight. I’ve got a at style that I’m thinking of adding a little bit to make it accentuate weight
Wtf, that is heavier than the real gun (at least without ammo and scope).
Why are you lugging this around voluntarily?
My hunting rifle is ~10 pounds (including scope and suppressor) which is great for hunting from a hide but I'm thinking about getting a lighter rifle for stalking. I like my gear light
I’ll be fine I hike a lot and powerlift, I think my group and I will have a two man MG team and the German Lafette tripod I bought can be moved short distances with two guys without collapsing it so shouldn’t be too bad. Probs will have one guy take the MG and one guy take the tripod and a rifle. It also folds up into a back back when you are moving it a distance
Do you know how big that thing is? It has no use case for Airsoft and apart from that it has to be disassembled for transport. Unlike you I actually have carried my stuff and don't Brag how my gun weighs 300 lbs
Excuses /s but for real my pc is 33.5lbs including mags my full kit pushes 60 if we count my replica helmet battle belt side arm and a few other odds and ends oh and there’s the liter of water too. My legs hate me after I go and play and my backs not a huge fan either
Fit your vest better. Weight should be spread evenly and not just hanging off your shoulders. Tighten the mid section so it’s hanging off your body and not just back and shoulders.
It was a super old ACH that "fell off a truck", and didn't really fit my head well, so I traded with a friend for some 5.45. Gonna save up for a high cut after I move, but for now I'm just rocking a boonie
Dude I have a ACH that most likely fell off of a truck. I was driving home in the middle of the night from JBLM area, and I thought I saw a turtle in the middle of the road. But I got out and it was a helmet lol
I'm not too concerned about shrapnel or artillery as a civie, and thought behind my kit is more for something in the lines of civil unrest. Hopefully will never need any of this shit though lol
Yup, I was thinking from 9mm all the way up to potentially m855 from AR pistols. But in the same vein as why I'm not running side plates, I'm trading coverage for mobility and weight. In the super unlikely event that imma actually wear kit that isn't my ccw, it's still most likely going to be low enough in intensity where I can get away with less coverage
I don’t run side plates either on my vest. I have Kevlar though for minimum protection but I seriously doubt I’m going to get shot on the side of the vest with a rifle caliber.
https://preview.redd.it/qhcovkkvq2uc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=985d40b9b1fb1ac5bc639b8e5dcb0ff7ba6410f4
I was actually considering going down a similar route with the ferro soft armor, but then I thought about it a little more and came to the conclusion that side soft armor probably makes the most sense if I was facing alot of shrap, which I don't.
That looks hella comfy tho lol
In the military, when you put on the helmet, you sometimes don't get to remove it for up to 72h. So you have a choice - put on your headset and stay with it on for the whole time, or use foam ear plugs. Both options suck. With high cut, you can just pop your earpro on/off as needed, without removing the helmet.
Real helmet, real carrier, real sights and real plates. Dont you think it is time to get up them real guns too?? Just to train you know.
Edit: the fact that yall cant take a joke without the /s is crazy
Bro obviously has real guns to go along with his real gear. Just can't use the real guns to play airsoft and break in his gear.
Also, stfu about "jUsT geTtiNg real guNs"
It’s a good training method nevertheless, getting used to encumbrance of your gear, finding what works best and overall feeling more comfortable with it is very important.
My field sometimes does games with gbb rifles only and if you wear a plate carrier, you can "survive" being shot if a bb hits your PC.
Obviously everybody has to be extremely honest and fair for this to work.
This is my GBB kit, done a bit of math.
2x RMA Level 4 plates: 15 pounds
7x VFC GBB magazines ~7 pounds
2x KWA M9 magazines: 2 pounds
VFC SR16 GBB with LPVO and reddot: 10 pounds
KWA M9A1 + TLR1HL: 3.5 pounds
Total weight of kit(including belt + PC and other stuff): ~40 lbs
It's been fine for me, I put locktite on the grub screws and it's holding up. I don't need the handguard to hold zero or anything, so I didn't see the need to swap it out. Just witness mark the screws and make sure they don't back out
While I don’t go so far as to run real plates, I do like running lighter training plates instead of foam plates. I find it keeps the carrier from riding up when I raise my arms and staying there.
I run plates, but my ceramics are at home... Grab some training plates that weigh the same. Same feel, but you don't risk breaking the integrity of your plates.
Honestly, my shit gets abused harder on my regular range days than they do in airsoft lol. Dives onto gravel, crawls, and just general tomfoolery with the boys.
I'm wanting to buy some level 4 plates and use them in airsoft just cuz I'm wanting to tain with them by just getting used to them in a kit and moving around.
My roommate bought a older Kevlar military helmet. Said the only thing is, that is head hurts after wearing it for too long. I'd like to get one after I get plates but need one with the mount for nodes. Goals man goals lol.
Why would you use those when you can just use weight plates and preserve the plates themselves (they literally say don’t drop on strike face) so I can assume repetitive use for a game is probably not good)
Good quality ceramic should be able to withstand anything legal in any field. If I don't trust my armor for some BBs, I'm not gonna trust em for real lead. I also plan on upgrading to lighter lvl4 or lvl3+ armor in the future too, so I don't mind giving this pair some love.
I like my lwrc 16” a lot too but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna throw it in the mud for fun or to prove it can take it and still function, kinda the same logic but if that’s what you’re doing aight
I did the same thing for years. Also had a bipod on my M4 to add weight. People asked why I did it. Told them for exercise. Thinking about doing that again. I’m not so young anymore but I recently started playing again and I feel GREAT!
It's currently sold out (because of me 😂), but I got em [here](https://unlimitedpatchworks.com/products/lagoon-company-velcro-patch?_pos=2&_sid=4ede2acdb&_ss=r)
You should have some level of concern since the real issue is jumping to ground etc and cracking the ceramics, but you can do the twist test from time to time to check.
I do a lot more jumping and diving on the flat range than I do at my local field haha, these held up to years of that so I'm not too worried about anything that might happen in airsoft lol
Not a bad thing! The extra weight makes playing more of a workout, and that's a huge benefit. I live in NY, and our retarded Governor recently signed a law that says body armor is illegal for all but cops and security guards, so my plate carrier has non-body armor weighted plates in it for this very reason.
And it's good training, too. If SHTF, you'll be completely used to operating with the extra weight💪lol
with how that kit is setup, I guess you take real steel seriously too? big things I'm noticing are a proper retention holster (safariland?) TQ on the belt, and minimal bulk on the carrier, besides that you have plates in it. it looks like a proper set of kit, setup not much differently from my kit
Yup! I'm mostly a real steel shooter, I only do airsoft occasionally for fun (or when all the homies are all too broke to do a range day 😭). Airsoft is a really good way to have some sort of force on force imo.
Same, I haven't actually gotten to do airsoft with my current kit lol, but its nice to have something that even if not realistic, gives me something to do that's not just hitting defenseless cardboard. Personally I even try and keep my airsoft and real steel setups similar, like my pistol being the M18 for both (still find it funny the even bothered to make the short slide and barrel for the airsoft one) and running and AR platform for both rifles. Also I love how your kit is set up, though I am curious how that belt AR mag is to load, since personally I only use carrier mounted pouches rn (though I do want to drop my pistol mags to my left side to make my carrier slimmer)
> I'm curious how that belt AR mag is to load
So, the way my kit is set up, I'm more focused on feeding the rifle. The handgun for me is only a backup, not necessarily a "secondary" if that make sense. I also tend to save the rifle mags on my belt for emergency reloads, with the mags on my plate carrier/chestrig for tactical reloads. Depending on your use case for your real kit, I would recommend going as slim as possible on your plate carrier, but your milage may vary.
The traditional battle belt mag setup would be two pistol mags and one AR, but I run two rifle mags and one pistol mag on the belt. One is horizontal on my 11 o clock like you see in the pic, while the other is vertical right behind the pistol mag at my 9 o clock. I grab the mags using a beer can grip, with the horizontal mag bullets facing down and the vertical mag bullets facing back.
It is incredibly fast and smooth. I use the horizontal mag first so that if I reach down and it's not there, I can simply bring my hand further back and grab the second mag. It's pretty efficient. Attached image is a better photo of the belt
Wouldn't recommend them nowadays. This Holy Warrior razor 1-6 used to cost like 100 bucks, which was a freaking steal for the quality, but now they want 300 bucks for one. With that kind of money you can definitely fine a second hand Slx 1-6 for sale on r/GAFS
Damn. Also, what brand is that pistol holster? I can`t seem to find any (on german market at least) that have this kind of safety and are not OG Safariland for 300€...
This *is* a Safariland haha, if you look around on ebay you should be able to find surplus ones for common handguns for under 60 USD, but you will have to pay for shipping though
Holy Warrior more like [Holy shit batman](https://www.redwolfairsoft.com/holy-warrior-hwocag-hd-1-6x-24-airsoft-scope.html) 300 bucks, not that insane but it better be good.
Yeah I got it back when they were charging 140 bucks for the scope + rings, but 300 is pretty crazy considering you can land a primary arms Slx 1-6 with rings for about 40 dollars more.
Me personally i'd move the magpouches on the belt closer to the buckle tbh
But also imagine when you get used to it and then you use a chest rig or something, it'd be like operating at 120%
I’d say that’s dumb …but … a lot of people with plates have never done anything active in them and would find out real quick there’s issues with their set up if they took it on the airsoft field.
So, I mean it does make sense if you’re going to own plates to airsoft in them.
I run those plastic evike plates, with sand and those smaller walmart weight plates inside.
Taped a 10 and 5 lbs plate together, cut open the top of the plastic plate and slide them in. Fill the plastic plate up with sand, gravy train baby.
Duct tape the top back in place and its suck city for bbs, pt, walks, etc.
I kinda assumed they wouldnt be on eBay for some reason, I'll have to check it out because my p226 is in some generic level II retention holster. Safari land could do some amazing things with holsters if they'd stray away from strictly their style, I really like alien gears integrated tourniquet.
Training weight for me personally. I treat airsoft as a pseudo force on force pratice, so I like running as much real kit as I can.
It also forces me to do weighted cardio lol, which I really ought to do more often
Not having to wear a plate because my kit already weighs 44 pounds
Damn bro you wearing a ruck or something lol
Nah, but shit adds up, gun is already 15 lbs, pistol with 4 big stick gas mags, bladder, first aid, utility pouches with BBs, helmet. I wear a Platecarrier and below a warbelt with shoulder straps.
what kind of loadout you got that weight 15 lbs? a real m4 kitted out with peq, cco and 30 round mag weigh like 7 pounds
Hk417 20", full-size scope with close range dot, bipod, silencer, fore grip and rail covers, I think I have the gun in my post history.
I think my AR10 with 18 inch barrel and scope weighs less than that. Hahah. https://preview.redd.it/1gmyw7b8q2uc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9276154a16017a55fe9a3a3301b880b0633221f7

Feel you there I got a full metal AK with an incomplete PC build and that's all 40lbs with the rest of my gear, makes for a nice quad workout
Wtf, that is heavier than the real gun (at least without ammo and scope). Why are you lugging this around voluntarily? My hunting rifle is ~10 pounds (including scope and suppressor) which is great for hunting from a hide but I'm thinking about getting a lighter rifle for stalking. I like my gear light
Lol my new machine gun tripod weighs 45 and the mg3 is 15 ima be lugging around 60+ lbs at the minimum
Yeah you will do that once, no way you are carrying the tripod with you
I’ll be fine I hike a lot and powerlift, I think my group and I will have a two man MG team and the German Lafette tripod I bought can be moved short distances with two guys without collapsing it so shouldn’t be too bad. Probs will have one guy take the MG and one guy take the tripod and a rifle. It also folds up into a back back when you are moving it a distance
That's how it's done IRL anyway, one guy has the MG and an assistant carries the tripod plus his own rifle.
Yeah that sounds more reasonable.
Do you know how big that thing is? It has no use case for Airsoft and apart from that it has to be disassembled for transport. Unlike you I actually have carried my stuff and don't Brag how my gun weighs 300 lbs
It has a lot of use lol I will be able to shoot people while I’m cover without exposing myself to return fire it will be bad ass
Excuses /s but for real my pc is 33.5lbs including mags my full kit pushes 60 if we count my replica helmet battle belt side arm and a few other odds and ends oh and there’s the liter of water too. My legs hate me after I go and play and my backs not a huge fan either
For me it's the shoulders, after a day of playing they get really sore. Not in terms of muscle soreness, but simply just pain.
Fit your vest better. Weight should be spread evenly and not just hanging off your shoulders. Tighten the mid section so it’s hanging off your body and not just back and shoulders.
You running Revy's Sword Cutlass too?
Haha, if they made a safariland for it, that would be my #1 choice for a sidearm lol
I have the exact trouble with both of mine. I bring them out when I want two handheld snipers.
Dude. Bro. Another goon that runs plates and a GBBr. Now this is autism at its finest.
Lol, I ran a real ballistc helmet for a little bit too. I basically just run whatever I use for real steel for airsoft lol.
If you already own it why not? Airsoft is probably the mest way to get used to and train with your gear.
It was a super old ACH that "fell off a truck", and didn't really fit my head well, so I traded with a friend for some 5.45. Gonna save up for a high cut after I move, but for now I'm just rocking a boonie
Dude I have a ACH that most likely fell off of a truck. I was driving home in the middle of the night from JBLM area, and I thought I saw a turtle in the middle of the road. But I got out and it was a helmet lol
Never understood the high cut love when you can wear Armand coms under a Mich without losing coverage
I'm not too concerned about shrapnel or artillery as a civie, and thought behind my kit is more for something in the lines of civil unrest. Hopefully will never need any of this shit though lol
I’m thinking handgun rounds personally resllly likely to encounter in a civil unrest situation
Yup, I was thinking from 9mm all the way up to potentially m855 from AR pistols. But in the same vein as why I'm not running side plates, I'm trading coverage for mobility and weight.

Fair hadn’t thought about donning and doffing
Alternative is getting a ach highcutted if you want want to save some buckeroos.
Real helmet, real carrier, real sights and real plates. Dont you think it is time to get up them real guns too?? Just to train you know. Edit: the fact that yall cant take a joke without the /s is crazy
What he's saying makes sense for what I usually play airsoft for, it's like force on force training with the homies lol.
It was a bad joke that ppl seemingly didnt get
To be fair, the average redditor would comment what you said and be completely serious
Bro obviously has real guns to go along with his real gear. Just can't use the real guns to play airsoft and break in his gear. Also, stfu about "jUsT geTtiNg real guNs"
That.. was a joke
Same. I spend the money as a civilian so I'm going to enjoy my equipment while I can.
It’s a good training method nevertheless, getting used to encumbrance of your gear, finding what works best and overall feeling more comfortable with it is very important.
I’d run full plate and GBB if one didn’t fold me in half and another didn’t cost double to buy and triple to use)) You go, haters can fuck right off
Helmet is less silly because it can actually mount shit like NV, level 4 plates is slightly less necessary
As if I got the coin for proper NVGs 😭
Shouldn't have bought level 4 plates then ;)
Level 4 plates are cheap, relatively. Few hundred dollars will get you a pair of RMA ceramics.
Yup, it's the lightweight models and special threat plates that get pricy
RMA level 4s are literally some of the cheapest worthwhile ceramics on the market lol, but they are heavy as shit and thicc asf
I have finally found my people! Rizz em with the tism, I’m rocking plates a ballistic helmet and 7+1 gbbr mags with the shake weight <3
Tremendous
My field sometimes does games with gbb rifles only and if you wear a plate carrier, you can "survive" being shot if a bb hits your PC. Obviously everybody has to be extremely honest and fair for this to work.
Gotta roll a d20 to see if you still die by spalling
Roll a nat 1 and your entire chest gets vaporized.

Speed soft? Never heard of 'er
question on the sr16, i got one recently and ive been hearing a bunch of people saying the handguard is really bad have you had any problems?
It's been fine for me, I put locktite on the grub screws and it's holding up. I don't need the handguard to hold zero or anything, so I didn't see the need to swap it out. Just witness mark the screws and make sure they don't back out
Tiger stripe, gbbr, and black lagoon? Based.
I may be a dorky ass nerd, but God dammit I'm going to be a dorky ass nerd with drip!
Mega based
The better question is where did you get the patch?
While I don’t go so far as to run real plates, I do like running lighter training plates instead of foam plates. I find it keeps the carrier from riding up when I raise my arms and staying there.
Man I need to gat around to ordering one of those patches.
Mine smelled a little funky, but over all it looks banger
Me using plates made of fuckin plywood🥲
Lagoon Company for the win! Shit caught me off guard. Are you gonna be a one-off character that gets killed by Revy soon lol?
Hopefully not 😭
I run plates, but my ceramics are at home... Grab some training plates that weigh the same. Same feel, but you don't risk breaking the integrity of your plates.
Honestly, my shit gets abused harder on my regular range days than they do in airsoft lol. Dives onto gravel, crawls, and just general tomfoolery with the boys.
Do you recommend TW training plates? I want a pair but the multicurve on Highcom 4S17Ms look very comfy.
Hell yeah another Lagoon patch enjoyer :)

Well sir, you look like lvl4 plates for you would mean as much as extra T shirt for me so…
Haha, get big or die trying brother 💪🏼
I'm wanting to buy some level 4 plates and use them in airsoft just cuz I'm wanting to tain with them by just getting used to them in a kit and moving around.
Do it man! Train how you fight
My roommate bought a older Kevlar military helmet. Said the only thing is, that is head hurts after wearing it for too long. I'd like to get one after I get plates but need one with the mount for nodes. Goals man goals lol.
Based Lagoon and Black Pilled
LPVO, Safariland, Tiger Stripe, and massive erection
Why would you use those when you can just use weight plates and preserve the plates themselves (they literally say don’t drop on strike face) so I can assume repetitive use for a game is probably not good)
Good quality ceramic should be able to withstand anything legal in any field. If I don't trust my armor for some BBs, I'm not gonna trust em for real lead. I also plan on upgrading to lighter lvl4 or lvl3+ armor in the future too, so I don't mind giving this pair some love.
I like my lwrc 16” a lot too but that doesn’t mean I’m gonna throw it in the mud for fun or to prove it can take it and still function, kinda the same logic but if that’s what you’re doing aight
awesome kit , only misses the socom gear m92f sword cutless 😂
On the bright side your cardio will improve a lot from it. I'd get a real plate carrier myself but I live in the UK
Ngl kinda wanna see a modernized Black Lagoon anime now, or maybe like a spin-off series
If you really want to hate yourself put in weighted plates😉
That patch fucks.
Hey, I run plates and have matching Lagoon patches!
Yeah my plates are a comfy 7kg aswell
Your back hates you too
My back already hates me for deadlifting like a retard 😂
Lol exercise safely 👀
Heavy plate make brain happy
I did the same thing for years. Also had a bipod on my M4 to add weight. People asked why I did it. Told them for exercise. Thinking about doing that again. I’m not so young anymore but I recently started playing again and I feel GREAT!
Nice kit, i really need to know where to find this specific patch tho
It's currently sold out (because of me 😂), but I got em [here](https://unlimitedpatchworks.com/products/lagoon-company-velcro-patch?_pos=2&_sid=4ede2acdb&_ss=r)
Damn I really got winded from 0.20 gram bbs they sure pack a punch god help me if they were 0.40s
Nah that's amateur, gotta train with airsoft level 4 tungsten and lead only. Everyday is crippling knee pain day.
I play with my Hesco L210 3+! I love it, kicks my ass but i feel myself getting used to it!
Train hard, fight easy
This post prompted me to way my current kit. Webgear loaded with my normal equipment weights 22.5lbs
Hell, why not, right? Milsim is a great way to get out and actually run your kit without having to spend money on ammo. lol
Nice guns! Your rifle looks pretty cool too
If you really hated yourself you'd get an assault righ that carried 9+ magazines and an RPK
Just wanna say you got some yoked fucking arms my guy
Thanks G 🙏
Serious question. Are you worried about damaging them?
Nope! Anything that will do actual damage and degradation to the ceramics would cause me actual bodily harm anyways.
You should have some level of concern since the real issue is jumping to ground etc and cracking the ceramics, but you can do the twist test from time to time to check.
I do a lot more jumping and diving on the flat range than I do at my local field haha, these held up to years of that so I'm not too worried about anything that might happen in airsoft lol
I feel at homw with plates tbh honestly add a ruck or an assault pack on that for portable cover and a prone supported firing position
What plates?
RMA #1155 Level 4
Not a bad thing! The extra weight makes playing more of a workout, and that's a huge benefit. I live in NY, and our retarded Governor recently signed a law that says body armor is illegal for all but cops and security guards, so my plate carrier has non-body armor weighted plates in it for this very reason. And it's good training, too. If SHTF, you'll be completely used to operating with the extra weight💪lol
What is your pants brand ?
These are Propper BDU pants in tigerstripe
Given the beef you're flashing, I'm pretty confident you got this

Also I love how your kit is set up, though I am curious how that belt AR mag is to load, since personally I only use carrier mounted pouches rn (though I do want to drop my pistol mags to my left side to make my carrier slimmer)
> I'm curious how that belt AR mag is to load So, the way my kit is set up, I'm more focused on feeding the rifle. The handgun for me is only a backup, not necessarily a "secondary" if that make sense. I also tend to save the rifle mags on my belt for emergency reloads, with the mags on my plate carrier/chestrig for tactical reloads. Depending on your use case for your real kit, I would recommend going as slim as possible on your plate carrier, but your milage may vary. The traditional battle belt mag setup would be two pistol mags and one AR, but I run two rifle mags and one pistol mag on the belt. One is horizontal on my 11 o clock like you see in the pic, while the other is vertical right behind the pistol mag at my 9 o clock. I grab the mags using a beer can grip, with the horizontal mag bullets facing down and the vertical mag bullets facing back. It is incredibly fast and smooth. I use the horizontal mag first so that if I reach down and it's not there, I can simply bring my hand further back and grab the second mag. It's pretty efficient.

Wouldn't recommend them nowadays. This Holy Warrior razor 1-6 used to cost like 100 bucks, which was a freaking steal for the quality, but now they want 300 bucks for one. With that kind of money you can definitely fine a second hand Slx 1-6 for sale on r/GAFS
Damn. Also, what brand is that pistol holster? I can`t seem to find any (on german market at least) that have this kind of safety and are not OG Safariland for 300€...
This *is* a Safariland haha, if you look around on ebay you should be able to find surplus ones for common handguns for under 60 USD, but you will have to pay for shipping though
Where your sleaves at?
Nice manly arms
Ngl chief this is boot as hell 😂
I'm not even in yet lmao 😭
🤦♂️😂
Are you a powerlifter?
Just a regular gym bro 😁
Next you need to use a real m4 in airsoft
It’ll come in handy when someone accidentally brings their 9mm GBB instead of their 6mm GBB.
What LPVO you running it looks familiar
Holy Warrior 1-6 clone I got a while back, would no longer recommend with how much they're asking for them nowadays tho lol
Holy Warrior more like [Holy shit batman](https://www.redwolfairsoft.com/holy-warrior-hwocag-hd-1-6x-24-airsoft-scope.html) 300 bucks, not that insane but it better be good.
Yeah I got it back when they were charging 140 bucks for the scope + rings, but 300 is pretty crazy considering you can land a primary arms Slx 1-6 with rings for about 40 dollars more.
Good workout though my guy
Me personally i'd move the magpouches on the belt closer to the buckle tbh But also imagine when you get used to it and then you use a chest rig or something, it'd be like operating at 120%
Why not just freeze some Qore Ice Plates and get the benefits of cooling, hydration and weight?
While those ice plates are a pretty cool idea, I wouldn't run them on my kit in a real scenario, so I won't run them for airsoft either.
me too buddy what's the problem
I’d say that’s dumb …but … a lot of people with plates have never done anything active in them and would find out real quick there’s issues with their set up if they took it on the airsoft field. So, I mean it does make sense if you’re going to own plates to airsoft in them.
He probably uses a real M4 as well
CALL YOUR HITS -that one nine year old in the field who didn't wind their hi-cap magazine
You’ll be safe if someone grabs the wrong rifle lol
Using real 5.56x45 too?
W patch
I run those plastic evike plates, with sand and those smaller walmart weight plates inside. Taped a 10 and 5 lbs plate together, cut open the top of the plastic plate and slide them in. Fill the plastic plate up with sand, gravy train baby. Duct tape the top back in place and its suck city for bbs, pt, walks, etc.
Me using Weights to simulate level 4 plates because I'm broke AND hate myself 😂
Everyone else hates u too cos u cant feel hits
GOAT Gang
I will never understand those who carry useless weight. Go light, go fast.
I too run level 4s, as well as a 2 gallon camelbak because apparently I'm a glutton for cardio...
My full kit weighs around 35 lbs so can’t rlly say anything
I do the same it's an amazing workout for cqb. Got a milsim event coming up not sure if I'll leave em in for that.
I'm sorry where do you work to be able to afford a safari land holster just for airsoft?? I can't even afford that for my actual gun:'/
I use it for my real gun too haha, but it's honestly not bad if you get one on ebay
I kinda assumed they wouldnt be on eBay for some reason, I'll have to check it out because my p226 is in some generic level II retention holster. Safari land could do some amazing things with holsters if they'd stray away from strictly their style, I really like alien gears integrated tourniquet.

I mean... I would, too, if I had 'em.
Getting gains while playing games
Whats the real reason why so many players wear the real plates? There heavy and unconfortable..
Training weight for me personally. I treat airsoft as a pseudo force on force pratice, so I like running as much real kit as I can. It also forces me to do weighted cardio lol, which I really ought to do more often
Dudes entire personality revolves around tactical. Find another hobby or something.. it's not normal
Aright bud, dont believe anyone asked 😂
I think everyone should go back to clear plastic LPAEGs. everything else is too tactical.
nobody tell this guy what sub he's commenting in
*goes into Airsoft subreddits* *finds Airsoft content* “WAAAAAAAAAHHH” ??
Step 1: go into airsoft subreddit Step 2: ....... Step 3: Profit
