@krus_chiki Optimal? Maybe not. Actually used in combat effectively? Yes. When expired soft armor is all you have, you'll find it fits your use case and works quite well. Follow the Instagram for the full story.
Covert Disguises: Does this concept apply to civilians today?
In a world of facial recognition, today's civilian may be able to learn a trick from makeup artists and wigmakers using hyper-realistic disguises.
Does this have a real application? Or is it just greyman larp?
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
2023 was a big year with the release of our ARDs, PTT Guards, and more, but 2024 is going to be even bigger. Thanks to everyone who made this year possible at https://t.co/qk5SWf5Tro, we can't wait for what's coming in 2024!
Shadows play a huge role in concealment. Most of you probably noticed the dude with the tripod right away, but what about the dude in the back? The rear position would be much more effective, virtually invisible if paired with a sniper screen.
Agencies can often be seen using rooftop barriers as cover during engagements, but how many shingle does it truly take to stop a bullet? Is their use case based around positional effectiveness or practical cover?
There's no use in making yourself miserable when people in your life are counting on you, it will only end up hurting everyone around you. It's not worth losing your soul over. Prepare accordingly and then go mag dump into some trash with the boys.
Remember to have fun. It's easy to get swept away with the fear about the impeding and current crisis facing our people. Prepare accordingly, but don't forget to enjoy the journey.
This may be for good reason, but it's certainly a compromise to larger calibers in order to favor concealment and portability. Should vehicle-mounted options be a consideration for the average carrier?
Vehicle-mounted holsters. With the focus on carrying centered around IWB and OWB options, there's little development in the space of holsters attached to a vehicle or bag.
Not only will this educate you on the reasons why camo is effective and its science, but it also creates a pattern particularly effective for your region. Have you done something like this?
Creative camo. I've heard that some units have soldiers create their own ghillie suits as part of training. While I've never had to do this, I think it's a great idea outside of the military for citizens in general.
Remote systems in action. These aren't heavily talked about, probably because "they" don't want you to know it's possible. Being effective while limiting exposure is a serious advantage.
Clashing camo can be problematic. This is an extreme, but it illustrates the point. Not only is this relevant to actual patterns but also to behaviors. Most commonly I see this in people trying too many disguises at once and ending up giving themselves away.
