Loadout WIP : Urban Operator - Chinasoft JPC with mix of British MTP & Viper BTP ammo/radio and dangler pouches, Tourinqet, fake knife/grenade for added bling worn over a Viper Titanuim Tactical jacket. 

 

 

That JPC looks incredibly high on you.

[TheFull9]

High?  Nah that's where plates are actually meant to sit - at least that'd be my guess based on where his clavicle joints are under the jacket.  Obviously it does not matter with bbs, but 99% of players wear their rigs super low.

(not saying you don't know, just speaking generally)

Have you tried wearing it in a game yet?

I know what you're saying, I was under the impression it was top of plate would sit below the notch in the top of the sternum? Otherwise the bottom wouldn't protect your liver or somesuch. Like you say, pretty moot if it's comfortable where he has it seeing as it's just for da beebs!

[TheFull9]

Basically on the notch ideally, though realistically [i]just[/i] below so as not to rub.  Plates are just there for the heart and the major blood vessels around it, some of the spine and some of the lungs really, since you've got a reasonable chance of surviving a shot to most other areas (except the brain which has the helmet) if treated quickly - comparatively speaking of course.

 

Some Crye JPC 2.0s I had hands on today (just one's mine):

Pic am broke. But I'm guessing this is the pic of the three that's on your blog/socials?

[TheFull9]

Sorry google photos doesn't like sharing apparently but the quality when uploaded to the board isn't great (at least on my screen), hopefully fixed now.

here are a few from the last time i played with my new set up for the xm177

[Barny]

Still a work in progress, but basically a all black/multi-cam loadout for the 7.62 rifle 

 

Old fishing hat boonie - looking for a good black one to replace it

Revision Sawflys, slightly too big for me but not as big as my other pair... who knew there are different sized frames?? 

Viper Vx chest plate carrier, nice but i get so hot wearing it

Emerson Blue label long sleeve UBACS and trousers to match

TMC shooter belt

Warrior Uni Holster - 1911 Hi-cap not in shot

Mechanix Impact gloves

Force Wear British Army Tee-shirt

Shit boots of Amazon

G&G TR16 MBR 308SW Rifle

FMA Fast mags x4 - changing these for the skorpion style soft mags 

Viper dump pouch

Viper pistol mag pouch - crap for the hi-cap mags! 

Kombat Tactical back panel with mags and radio pouches

 

[TheFull9]

If you don't wear a t-shirt under the under-body-armour-combat-shirt you'll get a lot less hot.  Dunno if you tried it already but a lot of people seem to do it for no reason.

This is actually one fine PMC kit!

[Davegolf]

Loving my new holster setup, Kydex Customs mid drop, KC basic holster, DIY thigh strap.

Access/pistol grip to draw is awesome, no flapping around even with full steel pistol, no chaffing from strap, and you can sit down without knowing there’s a pistol.

Im sure many others have been and done this before, but to those who haven’t it’s a great setup.

That's 'cos most are trying to cover a fat belly 🤣 (me included lol), but yeah, they should be worn fairly high, much less restrictive & better benefit if working from cover or vehicles.

Obviously doesn't mean shit to us BB warriors, hence why I binned PC's years ago👍

[Cannonfodder]

The same with chest rigs. The clue is in the name and they're not called belly rigs

My problem is chunky wedge shaped thighs from years of ice hockey & rugby, & as most thigh straps have an elastic element, if movement allows them to drop down the thigh even an inch, then they resist coming back up & invariably try to pull the waistband down to them.

The alternative is to leave it looser, but then the rig flaps about, can't win lol.

I'm experimenting with wearing it higher on a mid ride plate & a non elastic thigh strap, definitely an improvement, gonna try it with my new Korth next 🤞

[Davegolf]

I personally can’t stand drop leg setups, even when they stay put vertically there’s too much mass rotationally if you’re active.

 

Hip or rig mounted all the way 😎
 

TBH I only have the thigh strap for a more positive draw being kydex/snap retention.

TBH Dave that pic you've put up of your kydex rig is identical to what I'm setting up

Been working on my feldwebel 2/Pz.Gren.Rgt.125 for the winter of 44-45 mainly operation wacht em Rhine and Nordwind. Decided to give my a-frame another go set up with zeltbahn and blanket instead of my pack.
