If Iran was an easy target they would have done it by now. Iran likely has a way more competent leadership hierarchy and contingency plan considering they’ve been public enemy number one for the last 50 years at least and are no stranger to assassinations / attempts.
Iran already showed they have the capacity to shut down, overwhelm, and/or exhaust Israel’s air defense system. If the US did anything to their president or ayatollah Israel would get leveled.
I also wouldn’t be surprised if the whole Maduro thing was coordinated and he voluntarily gave himself up but they staged it to save face.

yup that's pretty much it, spare holosun dot + magnifier and a light. Cheap lam like the trinity would be perfect, I might even just to an HFXC at that point. Having played with the Tippmann for about a week I'm a huge fan, not sure if there are any long-term issues. But I like the idea of a dedicated .22 AR over the conversion kit, especially bc I run RC2s and don't want em fouling up too bad

As someone with zero military experience I would assume that in situations where a light might be needed ie indoors during an assault would be handled by the assaulting element which is not guys with SPRs.
SPR guys would probably be the ones on security while said assaulting element is pushing through.

An understandable mistake, it actually doesn't just get dark indoors at night, but it also gets dark outdoors as well!

Literally every range day unless I'm focusing on pistol or starting early to shoot longer distance (1000y). I generally roll up in the afternoon and shoot into the night. Good luck in court explaining how you PID at SPR distances under NODs....as if you even need an SPR to shoot those distances (literally shooting MK18s with T2s out to 500y IPSCs at night).

If you can tell the future and know you'll only ever be shooting off a bench, I guess WL isn't as important. Still advisable though. I was trying to get at 'needing an exclusively NV capable SPR to pull security for my assaulters' is somehow a greater LARP than the shit I do. But I did not expect you to track that for this long and you proved me right

>>64711849

>>64711882

there are solutions, but then base price on the optic starts to go up. Having to shoot these within 20-30y makes you really appreciate the eyebox though...

appreciate you bro no confusion here - even with my bias towards aimpoint and spuhr, I don't know of anything as elegantly cohesive as that that also combines Spuhr's durability. If the CASV rail wasn't also a riser I'd be all over it but I'm already pushing 1.9-2"

I went MPVO over LPVO since my 1-6x simply could not push past about 750y (and I realized the weight penalty for upgrading was minimal). But unless you're shooting past that/out to ~1000y an MPVO makes no sense, and LPVOs invoke most of that weight without the added mag so why bother.

The split rig is relatively new! Still have the UW Gen IV and keep it set up just in case, but I was swapping out mags in the starboard GP pouch to carry water and it put me under the standard combat load. Split gives me water and 3 more mags with space for other items too. Glad you enjoy seeing my kit evolve bro, scrutiny from the trips is always welcome, keeps me searching for something better. But aside from maybe being a little heavy, my gear/rifles work really well for me across a lot of different applications without any hard compromises

>>64712259
What/how much can you fit in that mayflowerbro??

>>64712318
I think Ukraine combined with the whole prepared citizen thing has people realizing what you bring is what you got...but lo-vis kit is also relevant. Kinda like having two rifles - one for distance and one for everything else - I think 2 different rigs can be useful. LBE + a microrig, or even simple kit bag from Hill People Gear

>>64712428
Agreed. Within reason if that's what's holding you back from PID then we're probably not as positive as we should be...considering what people were able to do with optics from decades ago without todays glass quality/coatings...
>>
>>64712428
Even at dusk? Early morning low light? What about trying to make out something that is on the edge of what your magnification can do? Why justify subpar glass? I want people to have the best idea of what they are shooting at all times.

the MPPV has 4 double mag pouches (radio in one), map pockets behind those, I put an IFAK and NODs in each of the GPs, and then there are a couple PALS rows and columns on the front and back of each of those which are a good spot for flashbang/grenade pouches (I use those for general quick access stuff like compass, headlamp, signaling kit etc).

the mesh sleeve on the back can take a water bladder but honestly I'm more a fan of stand alone camelbaks and a water bottle in the cargo pocket if I'm being honest, so it's kind of a waste of space. I might try switching it around to use an H-harness, even though the back panel does make it incredibly comfortable as far as load distribution goes.

Idk the stats for blue on blue but I did say 'within reason' when it comes to acceptable levels of distortion. Ironically red dots/pulling people out of their BUIS and making them more situationally aware probably made a much bigger difference than glass quality in scopes. Decades ago could be GWOT when you had to figure out if that shepherd had a crook or an AK, so team colors are kind of irrelevant. No glass is perfect, buy the best you can get, but it doesn't need to be a kahles/tengent theta. Less familiar with Elcans and how they compare to ACOGs so if we're talking prisms exclusively i'll fuck off. I do agree PID is king though

Solid loadout, I still don't have much room for NODs on the chest. 2 waters is always smart for redundancy and the ability to drink from one while aquatabs in the other cook. The mesh back panel is clutch, buddy has an eagle split rig and I'm a little jealous.

Yeah I really like the Eagle MPCR I posted above, but the buckles are definitely overkill for closure. They give it a really cool look though.

NODs are definitely something I prioritize on any rig after a formative experience not having them on my first field exercise in the military. Pretty much exactly the "we'll be back before dark" scene from Black Hawk Down, just in a pine forest on Bragg instead of the streets of Mogadishu. Using a fanny pack as either an IFAK or additional GP pouch really made it easy to have all the shit I need on hand and not run out of room with the various rigs I mess around with.

I recently got a CAT white bread suppressor. I noticed when I torque it to spec the cross/X shaped pattern on the front end as seen in picrel isn't 100% perpandicular or level so to speak.

Active Safety Designs nailed the new Arc-fire mil spec style ambi selectors. I got a pair of long long levers. Torx hardware is great to see, fit, feel, finish, function and aesthetics are great. Really impressed with how quickly they took user/buyer feedback and churned these out. Right now I'm pretty sure the ASD Arc-fire with Mil spec levers is one of the best AR FRT SS systems you can run.

>what you bring is what you got...but lo-vis kit is also relevant. Kinda like having two rifles
I agree entirely. I like Assfacts' recent video where he hypothesized that the US might be heading towards an Irish Troubles type conflict, or at the very least perhaps not the SPR/GPR driven type infantry theater that has been popular post COVID. But at the end of the day, being prepared is about being prepared, which means anything and everything within reason. A low vis PCC setup is important, but so is an SPR/GPR with a flexible ruck and LRRP capability in mind.

Any can mounting system without active retention is an unacceptable liability. You either crank it down so hard it might as well be a semi permanently installed direct thread setup, or you risk it backing off during firing or admin use/tasks, then destroying the can or fucking your POI until you realize you're not making effective hits.

>>64716707
>I like tapers
You're fucking dumb. The vast majority of can mounting systems have tapers. This whole idea that ONLY Rearden/PlanB makes use of a taper is the product of some egregiously dishonesty KevinB Q marketing shill bullshit.
>Active retention = one can for one muzzle device for one rifle
What the fuck are you talking about? Good active retention mechanisms let you swap cans on to various rifles potentially with different muzzle devices depending on the muzzle device options available for that mount ecosystem?

no, honestly that was just a cheap baofeng I bought to have on hand before my first TUSC in 22. Prior to that all my comms gear was military stuff.

I have a couple X50s, the PTT box sucks and the ear stem things don't play well with my cauliflower ear, so I really don't use them. I've settled on using a flexible setup by way of a pork chop handset and ear piece, with a QD cable I can swap out to directly run to my comtacs. Lets me use either the speaker mic or the earpiece for hot weather/patrol base activities/random shit I don't need my helmet on for, but I can always pop peltors over the top and get ear protection without losing comms. Otherwise, it takes all of 30 seconds to throw the pork chop in a bag and hot swap over to the ptt for my comtacs if the situation dictates.

>rearden in 2026
good news is that picture is at least 5 years old. Bad news is I still use rearden MDs on most of my guns. They've treated me well, so long as I don't use any Q produced garbage with them. Lot of manufacturers are using mounts solely with taper retention, and a lot of active retention mounts experience failures. Not really an absolute indicator of whether something is good or not.

>secondary form of retention
It still isn't true active retention IMO. Okay yes you know it won't come loose during firing, but it isn't actively retained when not firing, so the potential for it to come loose during admin/misc/patrol tasks is there.
The issue with all of this is the failure condition of a can coming loose. You either lose the can entirely by blowing it apart/destroying it or blowing it off the gun, and in doing so lose a major capability of the system, or you fuck you POI while perhaps maintaining some suppression, but a fucked POI is just as serious of a failure as an optic losing zero.

Just the other day I was helping a friend to try to zero a new optic. System was behaving like shit, no repeatability, not responding consistently to optic windage/elevation adjustments. Turns out his Rearden/PlanB setup had come a hair loose and the can was a bit loose. Hilarious.

At this point all that I personally desire from my LAM/Active IR device is a decently robust IR illuminator, and perhaps an IR laser for signaling. Perhaps.

>Lot of manufacturers are using mounts solely with taper retention, and a lot of active retention mounts experience failures. Not really an absolute indicator of whether something is good or not.
Reasonable take.
>Shiner Bock
Not bad stuff at all.

>>64716813
I've seen my share of Keymo and ASR failures. Most Keymo and ASR failures are user error having to do with the collar positions. IMO that is a similar failure in the abstract as someone just not tightening down their Rearden/PlanB/Xeno/Spooky/SRX adequately, and the can backing off then getting baffled or blown off/apart.

My only experience with them was a friend that had a somogear peq that kept losing zero non stop. Holosun lasers are built to a better standard than airshit and it would be disengenous to imply otherwise.

The military will never give a general use can contract for a suppressor mounting system that doesn't have active 2 factor authenticated retention unless they're moving towards semi-permanently installed suppressors, or we're talking special applications like precision guns etc etc.
This should tell you everything you need to know about the importance of active retention on a suppressor.

The other hilarious bit is just how MANY retard taper+thread only systems there are. Spooky, Xeno, Atlas/PlanB, SRX the list goes on and on and on. The only reason why there could possibly be SO many, and so many retards claiming that their Xeno is superior to SRX or that Atlas/PlanB is better than Xeno, is because they're mechanically illiterate and don't realize that modulo small variations in taper angle and thread pitch, ALL these systems are functionally the same.

These are the same mechanically illiterate chuds that aren't able to do the necessary thought experiments to reason why active retention is important for real application, vs "fun" shooting off the back porch.

Passive aiming won't replace a laser indoor imo. Agree with everything else and all the more reason not to waste money on it.

>My friend said
My dad works at Nintendo. He probably torqued it down too much and broke the mount or not enough/no locktite. Mine works fine. At $150ish or whatever I could throw it away and not care. It's not even a grocery bill to me. Think it's been 3 years now?

The chink sotac perst is supposed to be even better.

Either way paying a rack for a ir laser is retarded.

I'm honestly at the point where I'm about to just convert all my cans (besides SF) to direct thread. I've pretty much matched up suppressors to hosts and don't really swap them around for any reason. Might make maintenance a bit more of a chore but it gets rid of all the extra bullshit.

Are you talking about gas mask application or monos? Barring gas masks or monos, I disagree. With binos, IME passive NVG aiming is truly just as fast and capable as daytime both eyes open shooting. I can understand the need for a LAM for monos or gas mask application, but then here is the rub... 3-7 yards a 4" circle (brain I guess?) is unironically like 80 MOA. Even the shittiest of chink lasers is holding 80 MOA zero.

>>64716864
I respect DT chads more than le TAPER THREAD XD XD XENO SRX PLANB chuds. Matching can to host, and cranking that bitch down at least saves cost, weight, length, and is less likely to come loose then a taper/thread setup that you're taking on and off.

you can tell who has never fired a shot in anger. anyone arguing an absolutist stance on passive aiming being the only way needs to add some context to their lives. plenty of situations and environments where not having supplemental illumination will just as quickly get you KITS as trying to go ninja mode and only passively aim. crazy that shadows and dark areas are a thing at night that people would seek to exploit when they establish positions.
>>
The concept of a night fighting gun just having a red dot, white light and laser is dead. If you don't have a thermal on it you are KILT IN THE SHEETZ

>>64716887
My setup is piggyback rmr rn but true I am shooting mostly mono. I have a bridged setup but I nearly always hand off my second.

>>64716892
I want to clarify I'm not at all arguing an absolutist stance on passive aiming only. This discussion is in the context of anon's attempt at wgws derail bully regarding airshit items, and I deflected that to the discussion of airshit IR LAM/Illum modules. The discussion then was driven to airshit IR LAMs not holding zero, where the counter argument is that IR LAM zero retention importance is significantly reduced to to the relative priority placed on passive IR aiming. Having IR illum is definitely important, but then again, will be less so important as thermals proliferate.

I would argue with a COTI or other good thermal detection capable setup, the necessity for IR illum goes down.

>>64716903
>RN I'm way faster with a laser up close
This makes complete sense as compared to passive with a mono, or passive with bridged 14 duals without much practice. I mean that genuinely. I was shooting with some mono 14 guys just the other weekend and they were all running active lams, we were running drills, myself running passive and duals, and modulo basic training/experience variation no setup was like significantly outpacing the other, the difference was 99% just due to levels of training/shooter skill.

I believe that with training, speed/ease of active with LAM to be able to be equivalent to passive with binos, and potentially equivalent to daytime trad shoooting.

I do know that binos offer a significant quality of life and assuredness of navigation/step, and that being able to eliminate active IR emission especially outside of CQB distances is a definite boon.

I'm at the point where I would rather see a friend spend $3500-$4000 on gen 2+ chink binos than $1800-$3000 on a Gen 3 mono.

>>64716906
Decent shitpost

>>64716921
I disagree. I think the benefits of thermal detection are most realized at range, and at range means longer time scales, and longer time scales means you can scan with the weapon up.

>>64716938
>COTI
PID is still massively important, even with thermals. Additionally, if you're emitting IR illum, you essentially might as well be emitting an aiming laser as well at that point. While passive can be just as fast, and arguably should be just as fast or faster due to training for it, it doesn't divorce the reality that hanging roughly a pound worth of tubular objects in front of your face alters your ability to aim through your optics in certain positions. Just like adding gear changes your ability relative to shooting slick, there will be situations where no matter what you do you may not be able to get an acceptable firing solution in a timely manner through passive means.
>>
>>64716949
probably because they're dogshit
>>
>>64716996
How so? The more I look at it the more it makes sense to me. You run the gun with out the thermal most of the time with a dot that's even lower than a hydra mount and when you need to use a thermal you just throw it on with out disturbing anything else.
>>
>>64716992

Uggo setup but functional except missing daytime longer distance capability no?
My understanding is the Hydra HS635 and similar optics don't have the best visible spectrum daytime magnified performance?

>>64716992
Yeah don't get me wrong I'm not completely discounting the value of fused thermal NVG for increased like "refresh rate" on thermal detection and situational awareness as opposed to the comparably slower rate of gun up, scan thermal, gun down, move, gun up, scan thermal, gun down, move etc etc
But the added cost, weight, and complexity, at least given current market offerings and trajectory, I am wanting a COTI.

What I really want is HS635 cost and performance but AN PAS 23 aesthetic and weight.

>>64716993
>PID is still massively important, even with thermals
All the more reason helmet mounted fused thermals I think will lag behind handheld/weapon mounted magnified increased sensitivity and resolution thermal devices.
>positional aiming issues with passive
Very fair point. Yeah I'm definitely not ready to get rid of ALL IR LAM/Illum on ALL guns. Just a little less importance placed on them, ergo the airshit devices.

>>64717035
I agree it would be fun and aesthetic and futuristic but IMO it is the exact opposite of the device we actually want, which is a thermal Elcan with good daytime vis spectrum performance with a stacked dot lol.

For 300 pick a supersonic and subsonic
Zero for the supers (because super 300 is the real deal) and then run subsonic and remember your holds.
Already tried the multiple sights thing on my 300 too much bulk and it gets complicated quickly.
For 110 grain zero at 25 yards is coincidentally my 100 yard zero for 220 grain.
Anyway thanks for reading my blog.

I would offer that while you may see active aiming decreasing in performance, resorting to Chinese components for what will still function as an identification/aiming method is probably not the right area to cut corners in, especially if it is a primary use weapon. Sure, genuine MFALs fail as well, but we're talking about edge cases compared to these airsoft pieces that regularly arrive DOA.

If anything, it's cheap insurance, considering the aggregate of a complete kit, to pay extra for a real device instead of compromising just to save a buck.
