DO NOT BUY THIS FROM BLACKHAWK, Strike Elite Vest recevied two of them from Opticial Planet, must have been put together by fucking lazy meiccoons, what a peice of unfinished crap, three side strapes needed sewing machine action and the shoulder strap too. FUCK YOU BLACKHAWK SHIT FUCKERS
blackhawk is excellent quality. It wouldn't be in the GSA catalog if it was pure trash. The level 1 serpa is awesome. I use it for law enforcment and on deployment. It allows you to put your entire hand around the grip before you take it out. Good stuff. Hey there popcorcoolie, you get what you pay for. I guess if all you do is airsoft then your life doesn't really depend on it and you can get away with cheap gear. If you're going to the real world and want good stuff blackhawk has it.
I'm joining the Rangers in a year and I have a question- When you are deployed, do you get to select what type of vest and what pouches to use? Or is everything issued to you, and you wear what they give you?
Uhhh... Junior, You don't join the RANGERS. You volunteer after Jump school. A rep. will come by and ask for volunteers. I know this for a fact. I was in the 75th Ranger Regiment for four years. best thing to do, get your mind right. R.I.P is a pain.
I know you're trying to sound 'experienced' and everything, but don't call me junior, you're only embarrassing yourself. I didn't exactly mean join as in 'Hey, I am gonna go signup.' Joining means the entering of a particular group or entity, which is what you do, volunteer or not. But thanks.
Uhhh. Junior, Embarassing myself...hmmm not quite. Thanks for reciting the dictionary for me in terms of joining. You are in for a rude awakening. On your homepage, how about taking down the RANGER tab, that's probably as close as you'll get to it. lol Seriously though, IF you get tabbed, send a pic!
I'm not sending you photos; for ANY reason. If you're like that, you'd best get off a public site. As for getting close to it, you sound pretty inexperienced assuming where I'm gonna be in life, so clean that assumption up. I may be younger but I've had it rougher than you did in the military; in my civilian life. (just out of being in africa at the wrong time in my childhood.) I think Ranger School is easier than witnessing ethnic cleansings.
Uhh.. Not really sure what a public site has to do with sending pics. Seeing that it is PUBLIC. Feel free to be a little bit more secure in yourself. As far as you having it " rougher in civilian life " lol? Wow, how's your crystal ball working? Ethnic cleansing, apparently you've never been to Columbia or El Salvador in the early 90's. Have fun.
You seem to me like the stereotypical American. I say stereotypical to reserve respect where it is deserved, not here in this case. I don't think you got my point correctly; Where I grew up made your fantasies of Columbia and El Salvador look like a vacation. Grow up a little, hm?
Stereotypical American; feel free to elaborate. I find it quite funny that you can compare what you went through to the above places in reference to Columbia and El Salvador. I've never been to Africa, have you ever been to South America? As far as fantasies go, I don't have any! I believe your the one that needs to mature.
That's what I'm asking you. You brought up Brazil, as if to say that country, since it is considered South America is in some form related to El Salvador and Columbia. Is that right? As far as the term " polar ", I'm through with Bio 101, thanks. ;)
How about this. Since neither of us will admit the other one has valid and formidable points, lets agree to disagree. To be quite honest, this is getting to be bothersome.
You'll get basic MOLLE II issue when you go to CIF, it's a rifleman's kit and comes with two shingles, three mag pouches, an FLC and two general purpose pouches. When you hit your unit they can issue kits for Machine gun, m203 and M9. Some units order their entire kits from companies like blackhawk and Tactical tailor. Ranger Bats usually have their own kits to issue. Hope that helps dude. Good luck.
Blackhawk is alright but you can get something just as good for much less. Blackhawk is as mentioned... overrated Some of their stuff is just junk. Like the SERPA holsters. The heavy duty SERPA's are alright but the one pictured in the video is junk. I prefer to keep it simple. Some people want to strap everything they can find to their vest. I would rather have the armor seperate because if I had to ditch the load I would still have the armor.
Um I happen to shoot/train weekly and I can say that while BHI have dropped most of it's terms of domestic production, it's still none the less good gear.. I've never had any problems with my own gear and I've worked my loadout pretty hard..
And WTF? Tactical Tailor is shit, I bought a chest rig from em and the stitching was so shoddy, most of it popped out, HSGI and Eagle are great companies but TT's sweatshop garbage worse than BHI.. And Everyone rips off everyone, who cares..
@nuttybollockz More time saved than a point-by-point refutation of your idiocy.... Then again, I'm talking to a guy who responds to year-old comments on YouTube videos.
It's there so why not make a point dumbfuck... You're the one who took such "precious" time out of your highly eventful day to respond following a hilarious statement of "negation" to respond... So by that, your whole point is moot.. You refuted nothing and your whole statement makes you look like a tool... Get back to COD and leave what you think you know in your ass instead of talking out of it, fuckwit...
It's all about what feels good for you. I like plate carriers because you strap all your gear DIRECTLY to your armor. No flapping around or anything like that.
I actually like the idea of a chest rig holster like the one in this video, its great of riding in vonvoys since ur in a prone sitting position that would deny you the access to your thigh or hip positioned holster. its called a modular holster right?
Dude, WTF? If you knew anything about Blackhawk, you would know that they sell mostly to civilian contractors. Being "hired" to go to war and "sent" to war are two different things.
I say, "BlackHawk" supplies the contractors of companies like "Blackwater", Agies, Hart and so on, douche. Go back to grammer school and learn how to read, or at least keep your mouth shut when you don't know what your'e talking about.
There are hundreds of soldiers, police officers,swat teams and special forces that depend on black hawk to save there lives wich black hawk do. Disrespecting Black hawk is just as bed as disrespecting the soldier because they save lives to. Have some respect next time you coment on something.
Dude DT can get pretty shoddy... A friend of mine bought some of their gear and the zag stitching on the first 2 levels of PALS popped on him during a mag change in a snap fire drill (NOT airsoft)...
I myself've used Blackhawk and I've never had any problems...
Personally if I was an operator and I was allowed to pick and choose the gear I wanted to wear I'd go with a company that was less concerned with marketing and more concerned with putting out kit geared more towards functionality first. In other words, I'd go either with a smaller company, or make friends with the MAT-Techs (materials technitians).
Looks great but does nothing for speed in terms of reloading. We've been using pouches since WW1 - It's time for an upgrade - go to stractech for the answer.
