literally just talking with my medicbro about keeping a course of doxy in your kit for ticks. If you want a good app with a lot of pharmacological data get Epocrates. We even use it in the field to identify pills that have no container

>Quick and dirty "what plates should I buy on a budget?"
SRT (M855A1): Hesco T212.
Level III + M855: Expired Hesco 3611.
Level III + M855A1: Hesco 3411 or LTC 19513. 3411 is preferable. Wildcard Protech 2120-5.
Level IV: Hesco 4403. If broke Gilliam 1023.
Level IV + M993 / Swiss P AP: Gilliam 8002.
Level IV + M2AP going really fast: Protech 2230

Last time on /gq/, a man wanted soft armor to defend the family gas station. A2 sold all his gear to learn wholesome skills. I made two infographics about armor companies not worth your time. Gilliam Technical Services has the tungsten-rated IV++ 8002 plate on sale for $314 a plate. Botach has recalled Hescos for sale for $100, and the Chinese are playing limbo with the prices on everything.

You should just draw flies and stink lines over the Prime one.

If you want to know whether or not somebody is an NPC, this is the ULTIMATE test: ask them what they think of packing Doxy in outdoors kit. Immediately attack them if they start fuming and sputtering, "n-no, you can't! I don't CARE if you're in the woods and pulled the tick off! You can't just take antibiotics! You need to see a doctor and get a prescription!!"

I should. Their 1033 is no shit worse than the Highcom 4SAS4. If it's bad enough to the point where bottom barrel Highcoms and RMA's last gen plates are preferable, ya dun fucked up as an armor company.
>Doxy
This came up about the same time as the PEPTIC ULCER schizo yelling about advil dual action. Mexican pharmacies are based by the way.

Is the LV-MBAV still relevant compared to modern options? I have a Spiritus chest rig setup - can I easily attach it to it or will I have to wear it over it slick?

Based aesthetic. Unrelated, 4600 anon, you were supposed to shoot a pair of the Botach expired 4600s on the 13th. You get abducted or something?

The Gilliam 9969 Level IV changed specs again. It's now 6lb flat for a 10x12" - used to be about 6.3lb, 1.1" thick from 1.28", and picked up M995 protection.
For $800/set that's not bad. Needs a new test report.

What's the best budget IR illuminator/laser combo? I have a single PVS-14 toob on my helmet. I will likely never ever have to opportunity for night shooting with it, but a girl can dream.

Any recommendations on plates that are slightly better than budget quality? I want something lightweight.

Bros I want a split front rig/lbe. Should I go with spiritussy or someone else

What's your desired protection level and budget?

On second thought, I'll make a sequel to the copypasta to help you out. Rules for these recs are reasonably proven manufacturers only. Milsurp kept to a minimum unless necessary to avoid plate condition games.

>Quick and dirty "What plates should I buy on a mid-range budget?"
SRT (M855A1): Hesco M210
Level III + M855: Hesco 3612 or 3810
7.62x51mm M80 + M855A1: Tencate CR6450SA ($$)
M855A1 + M80A1: LTC 28595 (second hand - $$)
Level IV + Level III: Hesco 4601
Level IV + Tungsten Threats: Adept Colossus.

>Quick and dirty "What plates should I buy on a high-end budget?"
SRT (M855A1): Hesco U211
Level III + M855: Hesco 3811
7.62x51mm M80 + M855A1: VelSys PBZSA or Hesco SC3812 ($$$). If higher BFD is permissible then milsurp LSAPI.
M855A1 + M80A1: LTC 28570 (second hand - $$$)
Level IV Lightweight: Hesco 4800. If drop protection can be conceded then Protech 9812-R1.
Level IV + Level III: Tencate CXP-800 SA (needs credentials)

Unless you're a cop, how often are you 'in the field" and needing to identify random pills?

Can someone convince me not to buy a set of GTS OA+RF2 plates? My first plate carrier is coming in monday and I want something cheap to throw in em to train with while I save up for non poorfag plates.

emt. you're right though, it's an obscure feature, just wanted to show the app is more than just a medication database

>>64672346
super comfy on this carrier, supports the weight really well. Kinda negates the ability to pop the front and get lower to the ground but I'm in it more for the weight distribution and capacity over a regular chest rig
