What are everyone’s thoughts on cutting Kevlar helmets? On one hand, yes you’re potentially compromising the epoxy layers. On the other, as long as it’s adequately sealed in post processing, is it much different than what they’re doing in-house anyways for high cuts?
>>64320680Hi cuts have a slightly different shape overall. What you’re describing would look closer to a Bradley crewman’s helmet than a regular hi cut
>>64320680The cutting in house usually occurs before the compression molding and pressing of the shell. They use a different mold / cut for high cuts.This is a mixed bag area. There's always the risk of compromising the helmet and you don't know unless you shoot it, which you don't want to do. On the other hand, if the cut job is done well in a sanitized environment then damage to the shell should only be localized to the areas you cut. But that's in theory.I'd suggest playing it safe, not cutting, and getting a second helmet instead.
>>64320630philly trash sniper, get the oneleaf thermal and a 15000mAh nestout battery pack zip-tied to your stock. This multiplies your runtime to nearly a full day of trash sniper activities.
>>64320483Any thoughts?
>>64320748I mean it looks neat
>>64320748Do people really need to use Tegris for EVERYTHING?Who is going to be the first to market with an all-Tegris plate carrier?
>>64320748I just use an old USGI IFAK insert
>>64320771It's the new meme material, screengrab this it'll be out of style by 2030.
>>64320731Thermal has been on my wishlist and will investigate accordingly. Many-thanks! Verdict on the triple panels: horrible. I will turn them into a cape. The mag pouches are groovy. The Buttpack alright. Canteen pouches? Breddy gud. I have to wait for the next shipment for the other pouches. I'm picking up some dpm singles soon. All the colors of the rainbow.>>64320718In line with my assumptions as well. Technically should be okay, but then again you're modifying ppe that shouldn't be modified. I does make a comfy bump helmet though,
>>64320731>>64320841>The mag pouches are groovy.Correction: Pistol mag pouches are groovy.
>>64320778I think I have some.
>>64320680dumb idea, just buy a $50 airsoft replica opscore if you're so fucking poor you're unironically thinking of taking a hacksaw to a pasgt or ach
>>64320841>triple panels suckSon of a bitch now you can't go to the casino. >The best budget thermal China has ever made, the Un-Nucing of the East, One Leaf!The Oneleaf is 60hz, <20mK NETD, NUCless 640x512 with laser rangefinder for $1400. The deal is absurdly good for a thermal. Anons suspect money laundering and they're allowed to sell at a loss. Battery life is advertised at 5 hours on a Samsung 30q 3000mAh 18650. This should be 6.6 hours on a Vapcell N40 4000mAh battery, then with a Nestout 15000mAh pack run via USB-C, gets you 31.5 hours. You can DIY a higher-cap battery pack using 3x Vapcell F60s, but the Nestout is rugged and IP67 waterproofed.
>>64320937Hacksaw wouldn't even work, you'd need a diamond cutoff wheel.
>>64320955>CasinoYeah, I think I can flip these pretty good, but I did miss the last horse race. Worst case I make up my losses with a couple slots. Cape soon.>ThermalVery impressive figures with the battery life alone. Price point is almost too good to be true. I will do my HW, but off to the launders it is.
>>64320980Keep in mind if's Chinese pricing and you might get stuck with import duties if you buy direct. Amazon sells the 35mm version for $1.5k, 50mm lens for $1.8k. You can swap the lenses like old Raytheon thermals, and they also sell an aftermarket 75mm lens.
>>64321000I love chinesium. Good to know on import duties as well. Swappable lenses is even better. Also, behold.
Was at the milsurp store today and found some sort of Russian backpack vest thing. Tag on it translates roughly to>Backpack-Paratrooper RD-54It looks nice, though the pockets feel kinda small
tag if it is at all important

>>64321026So how are you making this into a cape?
Looks like we've got new digital NV on the horizon. We had the GNG2K, successor to the Nvg3rd, two threads ago, and now we have Binock's attempts at going up against ADNV and Opsin. Introducing the NVG-90 digital NV and BTI-90 thermal. Blurry as shit spec sheets, I know. Must have been viewed by an NVG-10. Anyways.NVG-90: >1" CMOS sensor good up to 1100nm, so limited SWIR.>800x800 detector resolution>screen resolution is 1280x1440 I think.>Lux value is 0.00005, which is half the GNG2K or Nvg3rd. This is excellent.>Frame rate is 40 / 120hz. 120hz beats the GNG2K's 60hz very well.>45 degree fov.>1x 18650 / USB-C for power.This shreds the Nvg3rd / GNG2K on most specs, but it's an upmarket product. People are reporting good results with the Nvg3rd but still a lot of lag, so the 120hz refresh of this NVG-90 will be a huge boost.BTI-90:>384x288 sensor.>50Hz refresh.>I can't read the NETD.>Power is also 1x 18650 / USB-C.This will be over $1k. It's not impressive and just a gradual upgrade from the BTI-10.
>>64321134It is an entire sheet of triple mag pouches, connected by triple mag pouches. It connects to the flc via the molle attachments by looping just above the neck piece of flc. It is really just a shitposting and I can’t wait to get rid of the damn things so I can buy some menthols instead
>>64321480Buy some menthols and save up for a Oneleaf, NVG-90, and Night Operators Heat 4.0. Future multispectral budget warrior meta for under $3k - less than a pair of Hesco 4801s.
>>64320594Are Infiray still meta for an everyman's fusion optic?
>>64321550Shitposting aside, Infiray's fusion like the Jerry-F is still badass, but $5.7k is not everyman pricing. On paper, you can way undercut it if you thermal bridge a digital NV (GNG2K is $350) with a cheap thermal mono (HEAT 4.0 - $650) but all components will be massively inferior to proper I2 / 640x512 LWIR overlay. Ultimately you get what you pay for, but the hard advantage of more expensive equipment is slowly eroding.
>>64321501All in good time. The thermal is the big one. I've got a humble omni tube, but I gotta pickup a new focus ring stop and some wire hangers before it's post worthy.
>>64321567Okay I think I'll stick with a COTI
>>64321582All good. No point in switching out the omni for digital NV, at least not for several more years. I agree with focusing on the thermal.It's remarkable though how fast digital is moving. One year ago the nvg30 was the cope king. Now we're two models past that. Budget thermals are moving even faster. The more you wait the better options you can get.
Any recs for an upgrade for a walker razor? Thinking about getting peltor 500s with gel cups.
>>64321602That was a consideration when I was in the market for my tube. For the price, digital is hard to beat. In niche cases, I'd argue it's starting to give low tier photonis a run for its money.
>>64321653Depends on what you want to do with them long term. I have a pair of the 500's with gel cups and they're seriously comfortable. I'd recommend also getting a padded headband cover too. Stock is fine, but I noticed getting a hot spot right where the headband splits in around the 3hr mark. Big plus is rangetunes. I'm not sure if current models are still on AA's. Last I checked, a lot of those were going triples
>>64321661I agree. Digital is starting to run with G2 night vision and it's only a matter of time before it starts creeping on G3. Yet I'm seeing a lot of digital guys fall into an "upgrade death loop" with how often these things are replaced. NVG-10 to 30 to 50 then Nvg3rd, in just three or four years, gets you halfway to a tube for just a mono setup alone. GNG2K is another $350. Then there's gonna be a 90hz model next year. Year after that, something else. Maybe a 120hz that gets you 60% of the $1k Nvg90 for $400. Rinse and repeat.These don't hold value worth a shit once the next model comes out, so you can't resell them unless you're willing to take a huge loss. People were dumping Nvg10s for like $70 a little while ago.But, on the other hand, if you upgrade looped from Nvg10 to Nvg3rd you now have enough digital monoculars for four guys for half the price of a $3k tube. Hate to use sms schizo logic but the point stands. Nvg10 was ass and the 30 is the first Binock worth a damn.But on the other, other hand, you could just wait until the Nvg30 is old tech, everybody dumps it to scrape together enough change for the 90, and buy like ten for under $1,000. Bino setups for five guys, 2AM pizza runs with the boys in the 02 suburban with the headlights off. Basado.(Please don't do that there's no way the 40hz nvg30 can cut it driving a car. That's like bringing a pair of Highcom 4SAS4s to Mariupol and expecting them to eat 7N37).
Can someone please post the thermal cloak infographic, or info on thermal cloaks in general?
>>64320594i got a pair of Howard Leight impact sports off amazon with the sale, and want to put a protective skin on it. I'm not paying for ranger wrap. what are my options?
>>64322622>ranger wrapThat shit is the gayest tactical larp on the market right now. Might as well just slap a rainbow flag on your gun if you want to signal that you're a cock gobbling faggot that badly.
>>64322810I agree with this anon. It looks really bad and it's extremely pointless. Also gives off a crazy powerful "try hard" vibe.
>>64322622Why would you need a protective skin on cheap plastic earmuffs? What are you trying to protect them from?
>>64321000>they also sell an aftermarket 75mm lensThis I have yet to see, /nvg/ has been doa/mia lately.
>>64320748Pointless extra step in getting to your medical and it adds overall bulk to your IFAK for no real benefit.
>>64322810
>>64322973>>64322973/nvg/ is like /bag/ and /pfg/, it's part of /gq/ now. Here's the 5x base mag 75mm lens, it ships in October.https://oneleaf.ai/75mm-lens-for-mars-mt1000lrf-thermal-imaging-riflescope.html
>>64322517It's in https://imgur.com/a/gq-infographic-emporium-1-00-1lZ5xw6, the "counter-thermal equipment" infographic.These are a mixed bag. Primarily sold at the consumer level out of Ukraine, it naturally begs the question of why these are being sold by AlmaUkraine on ebay and not going to the troops. They are hot, bulky, and only work for a period of time. Some models work better than others but there isn't a standard testing protocol. Ideally you don't want to look like a "cold" blob either. You want to breaka up your signature to match the environment.What they do help with is that they make you less visible than the next guy.
Alright anons a very real question: If you're hiking or standing for long periods, how do you keep your rifle on you?Slings don't work as a long term solution, carrying it is out, and I've not had much luck with using compression straps to fasten it, but surely there's other ways, right?
>>64323296scabbard or tie-down on your ruck?
>>64323304Scabbard seems like a solid idea but could you specify what you mean by tie down?
>>64323312Either a sheath bracket like so or just using paracord and getting good with your knots.https://www.ebay.com/itm/317097494545
>>64322855>>64322855>>64322824that really got you fags pissed off. because I like to protect my stuff, no matter how cheap it is, unlike credit card debit and bankruptcy maxxers on here.
>>64323361Hey, hey, listen. The five guys that went into $3.5k debt for a pair of LTC 28595 plates because some shitlord LTC dealer told them they were M993 rated all skipped town years ago. Find employment to pay off their loans, they must have. Sold plates at a loss, like the redditors in 2021 who bought Hesco 4800s or 4800LVs and realize they bought underbuilt plates, they did.
>>64323296Are you single or double shouldering? What sling? No offense, but this sounds like a skill issue that can be easily remedied without losing access to rifle.
>>64323000Hop or Garandthumb will buy eet and you will be rizzed

>>64323410A perfectly good helmet has been ruined. Off to the trailer park behind A2's mcdonalds with you.
>>64323417Ohhh nooo a mass-produced helmet has been ruined! The tragedy!
>>64323483Twenty years from now, chopped ACHs and ECHs will be held in the same regard as bubba'd mosins.
>>64323486I doubt it. I think it will be viewed closer to the pasgt. Fetishized by some, revolting to others. I sit upon my pile of trash and wear my cut ach crown.
>>64323156>ships in October>$799>~50% of my entire 50mm unitDamn them. Just glad I started with the 50.
>>64323519Doh.
>>64323517PASGT is revolting only because it's incompetent for the purposes of a modern helmet. ACHs and ECHs are very good even by modern standards. Your crown is potentially compromised and you (hopefully) will never find out.>>64323519Germanium is expensive.

>>64326037Thickness generally doesnt equate to NRRThinner ones are less likely to have cutouts because they are thinner (duh)If you want the highest NRR setup with the least interference with the stock you should run amps+NFMI. Not because they are able to exceed the maximum NRR possible but because any bump on the muffs wont cause a seal to break due to the NFMI. You could accomplish the same by doubling up with like EP3s under your comtacs but you wont be able to hear shit or fuck.>>64326745A2 approved!

whast the cheapest gas mask thats still effective and works? chinesium from amazon has already been proven by tons of youtubers to not work at all. are there any cold war army surplus masks that can be had for like $30 that work? is anything under $100 available? im a poor and want to buy a couple to keep in the vehicles and bugout bag so im not looking for a $1,000 special forces soldier version
>>64330511The Romanian M74 is cheap and supposedly takes 40mm NATO threads. Don't buy things like the M17, PBF, or other cheek filter masks since they use their own filters that aren't made anymore and are expired. There are also Israeli civilian masks which go for about the same price as the M74.If you have no money and want a decent mask, get the Israeli civvie masks or an M74. If you can find modern Polish/Russian filters then you can get something like a GP-5, though I'd generally avoid Soviet masks all together since it is hard to find new working filters for them and most are meant for sitting in a dark fallout shelter and not combat.My actual recommendation would be to save about 100 dollars and get yourself a nice M40 or other US mask like the MCU-2/p
>>64330731i was looking at the m10m made from hungary. it supposedly takes 40mm threads but the triangle filters look unique does that mean they arent the 40mm universal threads?
>>64330731>et yourself a nice M40 or other US mask like the MCU-2/pthis was first hit on google are these a good buy?https://awsin.com/t054-m40-series-gas-mask-random-pick/https://awsin.com/t055-mcu-2-p-and-2-ap-gas-mask-random-pick/and is there any downside to getting the second one because it looks a lot better since it has more visibility
>>64330849>M10MIt's a clone of the M17, that is the exact thing you ought to avoid. They suck because 1. Obsolete design2. No more filter production3. pain in the dick to change filters4. You can't change filters in a contaminated environment.I've tangled with an M17 before and it was horrible. Those masks don't accept anything except the porkchop filters and it is ever so slightly harder to aim with them on since the cheek gets in the way. This is a brit so take it with a grain of salt, but they are badhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJlGYlEh_5Q>>64330858Those two are good masks, but I wouldn't pay more than 60 dollars for a surplus gas mask. Regarding if one is better than the other, the M40 is better in the sense that it has (most of the time) a second skin made of butyl which is better against things like Mustard whereas the silicone in the MCU-2/p and M40 (without the second skin) will fail/degrade. Also, the lenses on the MCU-2/p are squishy (which is better for aiming with a scope) but yellow like crazy, I'd say they're fragile but they come with the poly face cover. I've only shot with my MCU-2/p on maybe twice, but it was a bit easier to look down the scope than with my M74
>>64320594My former team didn’t look as cool when CBRNEing tactically.
>>64330872good info to know thanks anon. im not as worried about mustard gas in my threat matrix as i am about tear gas from all the riots and smoke from wildfires or peaceful protests (californian)

>>64328031Amazon mystery meat assault pack. For 40$ it's a damn good backpack and I've been camping with it for 4 years. It's got MOLLE webbing and 2 compression straps on either side, but on account of the rifle I want to carry being a Kel-Tec with a scope on it the thing can't be really be strapped.
>>64330511Chinesium from from Amazon doesn't work but true Chinese industrial gas masks from Taobao/AliExpress do. There's an entire rabbit hole about accumulated western knowledge of Chinese industrial gas mask certification/levels that I'm too lazy to type out but the TL;DR is that the Chinese domestic market is actually pretty damn solid.> t. Ended up buying GOST belt filters from a mainland chinese firm for 5 bucks a pop after like a week of research
>>64332320That's the read I've gotten from their other stuff too. What goes to Amazon / Ebay is usually C-list stuff, airsoft grade because that's the target audience. Aliexpress and Alibaba try to be a touch more professional. Buying direct from the manufacturer isi always better because it avoids store-level shenanigans. "Pro Gas Mask Store" might be selling the real deal while store1101912 is selling a knockoff-of-a-knockoff that won't cut it.China is risky but you can use them strategically to save money where you can afford to cut corners. Mission dictates gear. Mission dictates where you can cut corners.

>>64333834sms is pretty funny I vote him sorry A2
>>64334660I agree, sms at least can talk a mean game about saving money. I disagree with his uh, perspective on armor. Chinese plates, helmets, soft armor, etc are still largely in the "sketch-zone."Digital NV is a maybe. If the NVG-90 performs as advertised it'll be very market disruptive, but people have been saying that about digi NV for more than a decade. I remember when people were hyping up Pulsar N550s. Gas masks I'm leery only because if you want a mask there's no reason to get something that might work, might not. Do you want a mask or not want a mask?
Who is sms? I’m not sure who I’ve been talking to. Is dude the same as the resident armor autist? I appreciate whoever the armor autist is as do I a2. A2 got the bowel cancer. He has a dedicated pouch for the colostomy bag.
>>64334956>He has a dedicated pouch for the colostomy bag.Is it armonred? If it gets pen, there will be peepee and poohpooh all over. Yuck. Maybe some side panels would work? NM, patenting an armored colostomy bag with USPTO now. D.dont steal my idea, yah hear now.
>>64334977He kept asking how to shit in gear and that was his solution. It wasn’t even medically necessary despite the cancer.
>>64335025Preventative surgery is reserved for all top tier operators. I myself am going to have my spleen removed. Just one less thing to worry about in a tactical situation. In fact, I'll make an exhustive list before year end. I'm not feeling to attached to my appendix right now and it feels light extra weight that could be slowing me down.
>>64335050Before your surgical operations, make sure to make an infographic guide.
Have any of you incorporated any sort of Drone into your kit? FPV or Traditional? DJI or home-build?

>>64335025>>64335050you should not only get some organs removed, but get a few of them enhanced while you're at it, and see if they've got any of those Larraman Organs
>>64335378>I'm not making the infograph for this somebody else do it.No u. Include discount pricing in Mexico and Iran and schedule out some Swedish costing for transition surgery. TIA.
Also forgot to mention I've got literally one more infographic planned (helmet accessories) and then I'm probably going to call it for a while aside from maintaining infographs in the emporium. I think pretty much all bases are covered and then some. Exception being if there's a really good suggestion or a weird niche that needs a deep dive.Rule of thumb:1. "Current" infographs I maintain, but not all of them were originally mine are in the "Emporium" imgur link. Baganon made the new bag guide, earpro anon made the earpro guide, etc. The RMA sucks guide is a heavily revised version of the /gq/ classic.2. Infographics made by other anons which I do not maintain are in the infographic reserve.
>>64335405I know I'm the resident infograph / armor autist, and I annoy the shit out of about half you people with my excessive infographic tendencies, but I'd like to actually punt that one to someone else.Flamethrowers are much hotter stuff, excuse the pun.
>>64335424>punt that oneIt's only 1st down! Get back in there!
>>64335444GO BIRDSAnyways, let's talk after I deal with the helmet accessories infographic. I've got a list of backlog stuff anons suggested to me some time ago as well, and I'd want to entertain a mall ninja infographic, as per last thread's talk on melee shit, only because it gives me an excuse to talk about NIJ 0115.00, the stab resistance standard, even though the standard does not cover getting run through by a polearm. You'd need a hard plate for that. It's primarily meant for shanks in the big house and street knives. Last I checked prisoners aren't spinning halberds, glaives, and yaris in the showers but maybe I'm wrong, but that would be based. Fight for your freedom on "horseback" with a cash prize of free spleen surgery from a discount surgeon in Costa Rica.
>>64335424Infograph anon although I have teased you in past now the the barbarians are at the gates I do have a humble request for your Autismswhat in the frick heck is the slings/retention/rifle holster market like
>>64335597The market is either you buy a chinese sling with zinc pot metal hardware that snaps like a bitch (helpful tip I have a turkshit shotgun that is literally on its third sling because chinese can't bear the weight of a magfed poverty blaster) or you buy a good sling and try not to overpay. People get hopped up on brands a lot and it leads to arguable price inflation. Padded, unpadded, one two or three point, it's all up to you but the "meta" 'round ere is padded two point for long carry, unpadded two or three for everything else. All of mine are two point. One point destroys your nuts if you try to run."Rifle holsters" are primarily scabbards but the Chinese have cheap molle tool straps that can adjust to fit a long gun. I have two, they hold smaller stuff fine but anything more than about 10lb and they buckle badly even if you fully weave the MOLLE, so the gun needs to be light.Other fully-enclosed versions exist that can fit a hi point carbine or something.That's all top of my head, I'll put this on the list for infographing and that'll be a much more comprehensive answer then.
>>64335597>>64335633See if you can dig for very specific places like the CIF Cleaning Services place that's conveniently outside of Camp Pendleton, CA. I managed to score one of the Blue Force Vickers slings from them for a lovely $40. Used, but good condition too.
>>64335633>a chinese sling with zinc pot metal hardware that snaps like a bitcjust get a LBT?>>64335597rebel raiders makes a cheap one I haven't tried it or seen it in person but people like itI use a padded LBT it's ok a bit bulky, handle my fuck off heavy rifle just fine
>>64335772I like that. I'll make sure to include a list of "vendors" on the infograph. I'm working on the helmet accessories one now.1. NV shrouds / rail kits.2. Ballistic visors / masks / mandibles.3. Counterweights / battery packs.4. Admin lights and IFF.5. Padding / upgraded suspension.6. Velcro kits.7. Misc stuff like MOHOC cameras, cat ears because I know some of you's are into that, neck protectors, etc.Anything I'm missing? Eyepro, earpro, and NV proper are outside the scope of this infograph. We have a digital NV infographic but we're short a modern analog NV one unless the one Dan made three years ago is still "good."
>>64335805LBT is solid, the point I was making was moreso that the entire sling market is two-faced. One side, useless, other side, generally good.
WHERE IS THE GAS MASK INFOGRAPHIC
>>64335859IN THE INFOGRAPHIC EMPORIUMhttps://imgur.com/a/gq-infographic-emporium-1-00-1lZ5xw6Oh, and I remembered the helmet accessory infographic also needs to include applique plates. I'm thinking SLAAP, the HHV-Adept M855 one, the Militech 7.62x51 M80 one, the Jinwudun one, and a reference to the Level IV (yes) "Overhelmet" ones Tencate made years ago, along with the Ceradyne IMP/ACT 5.56 / 7.62 ones, but I'm not listing those as options because you can't buy them and I have yet to see a single example appear second hand.
>>64335822fair point and true
>>64335912When are you going to make an infographic of all the infographics so I know which infographic to use?
>>64336277Like a list of the infographics?
>>64336591It needs to be in infographic form
>>64336600I'll put that on the list
>>64336277>>64336600>>64336660Eh hem. Waiting....
>>64335815I support this idea. Easy mode: tw suspension, 4d pads. I’ve comfort maxxed my dubiously rated lif. My last wish is for a gel pad like what you get from 3m for earcups.

How does everyone like bungie retention mag pouches as compared to the flaps? I’ve found I can use flc pouches for 20’s with little issue. They’re not stellar but they work. Not sure if bungie might be better
>>64337022I'll get back to you on it later today or tomorrow.

>>64339386Ten years from now, we will tell future anons that this is how it happened. This is how digital overcame analog NV. The analog becometh shit, the digital NVG-90 is lesseth in the shitter.Also it looks like Binock took mention of the NVG-90 and BTI-90 down, so maybe the 0.00005 lux super CMOS sensor didn't materialize and this is Diamond Age style vaporware. I hope not.
>>64339473>digital didn't overcome analog by becoming good, analog just became shitThat's funny.
>>64339615We need to change topic quickly or sms schizo will come back to argue otherwise. Hesco is the best plate manufacturer for civilians.
>>64320594Well Midwest Armor took several months over what they said it was going to take but upgraded me from Hesco 4403MC's (which I had originally ordered) to some nicer LTC 22605'S plates and refunded me $100 bucks. They're finally coming in this week.
>>64339774Do you mean 26605's? If so that's a problem because I'd argue that is actually a downgrade.
>>64339787well fuck me and call me SallyWhy? saving a half pound on each plate seemed good but maybe I've been Jewed.
>>64339473Anon, that's soviet night vision from 1969. It has always been shitSidenote: I need pictures of the digital NODs on a half-moonlit night to compare with some pictures of the ruski nods
>>64339810Sure thing. 1. The LTC 26605 has the dubious honor of two NIJ advisory notices against it. Once in 2017, another last year. It's been reinstated both times but TWO suspensions on the same plate is, uh, rough. We never got an answer from LTC about the 2024 suspension.2. The LTC 26605 weighs 7.5lb for a SAPI M, Hesco 4403 is 7.9lb. 3. By Midwest's admission the 26605 is only good for one 7.62x39mm BZ API. The 4403MC is good for three. This demonstrates the 4403MC has considerably better multi hit.
>>64339841Thanks anon. I knew I should've asked here beforehand, that's my fault for expecting a company like that not to be shit. I'm still not too upset because after the refund, they came in under $300 for a pair of plates. Ig I'll just use these till they expire, then upgrade.
>>64339878Not your fault. The armor industry is extremely shady. The reason why they had 26605s to send you but not 4403s is because people aren't buying 26605s.Under 300 for a pair is a good price. Also, these don't actually expire. That is just the warranty period.This is good practice for anyone with plates on the NIJ compliant product list. Check here every three to six months to see if your armor caught a suspension.https://cjttec.org/category/compliance-testing-program/nij-advisory-or-safety/nij-advisory-notices/
>>64339939I'll be sure to check. What happens if there is a suspension? Is that something the warranty covers?
>>64336277>>64336591>>64336600>>64336660>>64337022Alright, here it is. The infographic of infographics. One could even call it... the infographic emporium. Over three dozen infographics!
>>64338581recon and real time intel gathering
>>64340355If there's a suspension then the plate is no longer NIJ certified. NIJ cert is totally voluntary and the NIJ has no real enforcement powers for uncertified armor.What steps the manufacturer takes is up to them. When RMA's 1155 was suspended, they only recalled the immediate lot the failed plates belonged to, which was tiny. They never made a replacement model or got the 1155 reinstated. Hesco, when their 4400, 4600, 3410, and 3610 were suspended, issued much wider recalls and sent out replacements - some people even got upgrades. New models, 4401 then 4403 and then 4601 / 3411 / 3611 were certified. I don't think LTC did anything with the 26605 suspensions. Allegedly both were just internal QC (""supplier issue") but that doesn't pass the smell test since it's NIJ that issues suspensions unless the mfg instructs them to suspend, as BAE did once. I don't see that LTC told NIJ to do that. IMO, that's possibly just a vendor covering their ass. The 26605 has been reinstated twice and is currently certified, but the story is iffy and needs further investigation.The only major armor manufacturer with no suspensions or product recalls is Tencate, now Integris. Hesco holds the 0101.06 record at four.
