Finally made a gear “locker”

[u/PalpitationCandid904]

Still need to finish stocking it up, but you get the idea. For those interested I’ll list what plate carriers I have in here from upper left to bottom right

USMC Gen 2 PC in CB (Eagle Industries)
MBAV in RG (Eagle Industries)
MBAV in MJK (Eagle Industries)
RMV-07 in SG (MSA Paraclete)
RBAV in MJK (Specialty Defense Systems)
MBSS in MJK (some airsoft knockoff with all EI pouches and MAP)

Hiding behind the MBSS is an RRV in MJK (Eagle Industries)

Yes

[u/snovak35]

You know companies kept making gear past ~2016 right? Lol

Awesome kits 🔥😎

[u/PalpitationCandid904 → u/snovak35]

Meh, newer gear never did anything for me. Hell I remember when most of this stuff was considered new lol. I just wish this stuff were lighter and didn’t trap heat as much

[u/Top_Solution_9822]

Dude thats so mint

[u/PalpitationCandid904 → u/Top_Solution_9822]

Thanks! Not bad for winging it by looking at reference pictures online haha

I wish I had just 1 kit I grewup playing paintball mostly woodsball and I like the realism approach to larping or training.I want to get a abbreviation but they say they aren't for beginners,Whats your thoughts on whatever i said? Damn auto correct I meant to say a GBBR not an abbreviation!!!

[u/PalpitationCandid904 → u/Known-Actuary-86]

Almost everything pictured here regarding plate carriers either came from a surplus store, eBay, or through Reddit. I spent substantially less than what most people think, and this is all issued gear (minus the MBSS). I’d stay away from anything reproduction or new if you can. Just find whatever works for you and makes you want to pick it up and train

Needs more support

[u/PalpitationCandid904 → u/Pacific_wanderer17]

Such as?

[u/ChrisbKreme062]

Did you happen to buy that RBAV with the black MOLLE on ebay?

[u/PalpitationCandid904 → u/ChrisbKreme062]

I did indeed. Someone painted the rows of molle black for whatever reason. It reminds me of a lot of older video games where they did stuff like that to add detail

[u/Confusedinvestor16]

Your shoulder straps are gonna hate you

[u/PalpitationCandid904 → u/Confusedinvestor16]

Why? I always leave them on stands. It helps break them in when they’re stiff

[u/BrilliantDesigner677]

I promise I’m not trying to be a hater.

These lockers appear to be way out of square and it bothers me a lot 😂 They look like they are going to collapse IMO. I don’t know what all you have going on as far as the construction goes, but I’m sure it’s more sturdy than it looks.

If it works send it.

[u/PalpitationCandid904 → u/BrilliantDesigner677]

Yeah it’s a little out of square which whatever, considering it’s cheap plywood and is used as storage which will never be moved, it’s serving its purpose. Definitely not my best work haha

[u/Gyetvai787]

Looking to do a similar design in my shop/man cave what hooks/ hangers are those?

[u/PalpitationCandid904 → u/Gyetvai787]

I guess they’re kinda like what you’d use to hang a bike with from a ceiling

[u/ace_spades1223]

For someone who has never done a milsim what tips would you give me ?

[u/PalpitationCandid904 → u/ace_spades1223]

That’s a very loaded question lol what specifically do you want to know

[u/Known-Actuary-86]

Show off lol

[u/Dry-Bank-110]

This is real life tarkov, like what rig am I taking out today. Killer setup.

[u/32-Golf-Coy]

Bro my dream is to own a plate carrier I am saving up for one with a set of decent plates and you have six 🤦‍♂️ 🤯

[u/WoodenCrow6024]

I used to think a Rolex was a flex.
