One thing I’ve learned, for short skirmishes you don’t need water on your pc, it just adds weight and throws off the balance of you plate carrier, and if you want a back panel, it’s better to use a small pack over the pc so then if your alone you can access it

These are the Crye G3 Combat pants and shirt which are nowadays nearly impossible to get (lead times up to 2 years) and extremely expensive (at least here in Europe).

Isn’t the plate carrier too short? I am looking for a longer one but I don’t know how long they are because they don’t have any sizes. Is it normal to be that short? Shouldn’t it cover the whole front and back parts?
It's not too short for it being a plate carrier. A plate carrier is designed to protect the most vital organs, but it also still allows you to move. You can go for even bigger sized plate carriers, but your mobility will make a drop. It's a judgement you have to make yourself. They do have sizes, it depends on the manufacturer. I Viper

Great work guys, love the quality production of your videos it really shows. I could have used this video 15 years a go or so. When Molle came out I had no idea and just stuck to my chest webbing that I was familiar with. It did work fine but lacked modularity. Do you have a plan for empty magazines? I used to always put mine back in the pouch upended, was an easy way to see loaded from empty. Your mag pouch grip plan really works, those elastic hook covers prevented me buying them. Glad you did the kit noise check, I see guys in videos, either Cleanshot or Silo it was rattling disastrously in a recent one. There should be no rattles when bouncing up and down. Wasnt sure what your black items were on your plate carrier, when you jumped it looked like black gloves? No matching green ones? Those headphones look deadly? I apologise if I've missed a video covering those, but covering your ears will miss that snapping twig or someone getting close behind. I've used headsets on only a few occasions, didnt like them, but mine only covered one ear so a better option I feel than both ears compromised. Your videos are first class and certainly addressing a need. 👍👍👍
Thanks! We put our empty mags back in our pouches with a certain way to easily remember which one is empty. The pouch mod is something we see people start to use more and more. Yes, that noise check is a really important one which we found necessary, but I don't think Silo nor Cleanshot would even bother this, because of how they play. 😅The black items were gloves indeed, no haven't found those in green yet. But I have to get myself a replacement pair, because these already have holes in them. We haven't made a video about the headsets yet, but these are professional ones and that's were the differences come into place with what you've mentioned from your experience. These reduce noises that are too loud, but also enhance other noises to keep surrounding awareness. | Viper out
@@ReconBrothers thanks guys, I'll watch with interest how these headsets work. They look bulky too, but I'll reserve judgement to them until your review. 😋
We used to live in Belgium. But I can confirm that this info was not correct. It's just that the laws there are never very clear on subjects like these and always jump to other articles or EU laws, etc. Eventually we learned that you're allowed to have one set of plates and one ballistic helmet per person according to EU laws.
No, in the EU there are very strict rules for owning ballistic products. They're only allowed for MI/LE personal and I believe even they may only use them in their work. | Viper out
@@ReconBrothers That moment, when you've been thinking, that your own country (Ukraine) sucked balls in terms of guns owning and self-defence, when this info comes! Even in coutnry where you can't hurt criminal first or more than equally in damage he dealt to you, and people are banned from pistols, we still can easily buy full set of any heavy storm trooper armor :) Funny.
😆The right to bear plastic arms😆 Being American, this is just cringing to watch. I have several (real) Rifle's, Pistol's and plate carrier's with authentic armor. I couldn't imagine what it must feel like, that if you want to have all that in your country, you have to resort and settle for toy's and imitations.
It's not as restricted as you think. We are allowed to own firearms (and also ballistic protection, found out only recently), it's only more limited to your home & the range for static target shooting in Belgium. But Europe is a big place and we can cross borders easily to go and shoot in other countries to do more dynamic stuff and even advanced tactical lessons. We once started out with airsoft, but are more and more entering the professional market with our company, so it's logical we make steps towards firearms as well. It's just easier to get into airsoft here than getting into shooting lead. Plus the force-on-force experience you gain from airsoft is in our eyes much more valuable than just shooting a static target and that's something a lot of shooters don't even realize. But all this doesn't change a single fact on how you should setup your plate carrier. 😆 I Viper
@@ReconBrothers Makes sense. I was wondering where it was you are from. In real situations, people aren't running around, jumping from obstacle to obstacle. Running around corners with a pistol instead of the rifle. In the Army, they strictly teach us to never opt for your pistol unless you absolutely have to. But I was not deployed with a pistol. Not once. Which is why you have to master the corners with the rifle, if you want to proceed and remain alive. Air soft looks very fun. But the transition from airsoft to real firearms is so different. Ballistics like trajectory, hold overs, bullet drop, windage, trigger manipulation/reset, rate of fire, compensation, recoil, clearing jams and failures with remedial and immediate action etc. One would die quick in a real battle, running around like a lot of other airsoft guy's do. I'm not implying that these are your tactics by any means but most of airsoft guy's just run and gun. And they wonder why they get taken out so quickly and bitch about it. We would also train with CCMC kits. You use your actual M4 or M16A4, whichever you're issued with and swap out the BCG and put in one that can only fire a specific cartridge. It is real brass that uses gunpowder like your standard round but the tip of it is only a plastic BB. So you get to train with your actual rifle, with real recoil while only 450fps. We actually got to shoot the hell out of one another with these while training. Good times. Well anyways, thanks for the reply. You have a page or anything other than yt to follow?
I agree man, there's a pretty big gap between airsoft & firearm shooting (& don't forget the stress a gun battle adds when your life is on the line). But it's certainly a great way to start learning about guns, equipment & tactics. And it's also a good way to work your dry-fire drills if you use it correctly. You might even be surprised what sort of airsoft guns exist today. They're not all electric lawnmowers anymore these days. Gas blowback rifles (GBBRs) are the closest an airsoft gun can go these days to an actual firearm and shooting one might surprise you. We use such systems with professional instructors here to train CQB tactics since it's prohibited for civilians to do it with firearms. But I get your view on airsoft in general. On one side you indeed have the guys that run and gun like a headless chicken, but on the other side you also have guys thinking they're SF and never trained a single day in their lives. We have, let's say, a more healthy approach. We're simply using it as a tool to improve ourselves and move onto the next step, and yes sometimes a fun event or weekend happens as well to practice what we've learned on courses. We know about those kits where you alter the bolt and the ammo. It's pretty widely used in Poland for force-on-force courses. But it's usually restricted to either professional use or schools. We'll probably get do some courses with those as well some day. We have a FB & IG as well, all under the same name. And we also have a website & webshop which you can find through: reconbrothers.com/ 🤙

Where did you find the info we cannot have ballistic protection in Belgium? 😅 It is not forbidden…
Yes, we were wrong back then. | Viper

How unfit a player can sometimes be...
Ha that is true! ;-) | Instinct
is Highland Tactical a good company?
Don't know it, can't tell about it. I Viper
Damn man GREAT video!! Definitely subscribing 🤘🏻
Bummed you can’t have ballistic plates though.
Thanks for the sub! In the meantime we already figured out it is possible to own ballistic plates. It has some restrictions and paperwork that comes along, but we can do it. Probably gonna get ours somewhere in this or next week. 🤙 | Viper
@@ReconBrothers Kun je me wat meer vertellen over wat de voorwaarden zijn om platen te bezitten aub?
@@ORO_Psyclone De enige voorwaarde is dat je slecht 1 set ballistiche platen en 1 ballistische helm per persoon bezit. Dat is alles. | Viper
@@ReconBrothers Nice. Dus geen onderscheid tussen lvl 3 en 4? En waar hebben jullie ze gekocht?
@@ORO_Psyclone Nee, wij hebben de onze van Protection Group Denmark.
If you know what’s the name of your plate carrier
This was the Tasmanian tiger Plate Carrier MKII. They no longer make this one and there are far better ones available these days in our opinion. You can have a look at the ones we sell through: shop.reconbrothers.com/body/2nd-line-gear/?filters=product_cat%5B906%5D 🤙 | Viper
Where are these guys from?
Belgium 😁 I Viper
Which bag have you used? It's without straps, isn't it? Btw. pretty cool video ;)
Thank you, the backpack on the plate carrier is the Tasmanian Tiger Tac Pouch 11. BTW, if you're looking for on, we sell these through: shop.reconbrothers.com/product/tasmanian-tiger-tac-pouch-11/ I Viper
@@ReconBrothers Thank you very much and go on!
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT PLATE CARRIER VEST?
@@Sun-ng7gj Tasmanian Tiger MKIII, but it's discontinued. Now there's the MKIV though.
@@ReconBrothers thank you! I've been looking for one just like this
Amazon? Tactical vest in different colored?
No, this carrier does not come from amazon. You can find them here, available in Black, Coyote Brown and Olive Drab: shop.reconbrothers.com/body/2nd-line-gear/?filters=product_cat[215]|product_tag[258]| Instinct
Isn’t the plate carrier too short? I am looking for a longer one but I don’t know how long they are because they don’t have any sizes. Is it normal to be that short? Shouldn’t it cover the whole front and back parts?
It's not too short for it being a plate carrier. A plate carrier is designed to protect the most vital organs, but it also still allows you to move. You can go for even bigger sized plate carriers, but your mobility will make a drop. It's a judgement you have to make yourself. They do have sizes, it depends on the manufacturer. I Viper
Thank you, actually I thing it’s because of me, I mean my taste it’s kind of weird like I can’t see myself in a vest and the whole belly not to be covered😂😂😂
first off. Let us see the video and then let us decide if we give the video a like. Dont ask before hand it makes many pepole disklike the video from the start.
Imma put as much shit as i possibly can cuz “iT lOoKs cOoL”
After - *runs for 100 m, has to sit down because of exhaustion.* | Viper
What a pc is it? :) Tasmanian Tiger, but model.. ? :D
It's the MKIII which has been discontinued. Nowadays there's the MKIV & QR LC from TT. | Viper
This shit is what I wanted thank you lord, a REAL fucking setup guide.
Thanks! 🙏 I Viper

Great work guys, love the quality production of your videos it really shows. I could have used this video 15 years a go or so. When Molle came out I had no idea and just stuck to my chest webbing that I was familiar with. It did work fine but lacked modularity. Do you have a plan for empty magazines? I used to always put mine back in the pouch upended, was an easy way to see loaded from empty. Your mag pouch grip plan really works, those elastic hook covers prevented me buying them. Glad you did the kit noise check, I see guys in videos, either Cleanshot or Silo it was rattling disastrously in a recent one. There should be no rattles when bouncing up and down. Wasnt sure what your black items were on your plate carrier, when you jumped it looked like black gloves? No matching green ones? Those headphones look deadly? I apologise if I've missed a video covering those, but covering your ears will miss that snapping twig or someone getting close behind. I've used headsets on only a few occasions, didnt like them, but mine only covered one ear so a better option I feel than both ears compromised. Your videos are first class and certainly addressing a need. 👍👍👍
Thanks! We put our empty mags back in our pouches with a certain way to easily remember which one is empty. The pouch mod is something we see people start to use more and more. Yes, that noise check is a really important one which we found necessary, but I don't think Silo nor Cleanshot would even bother this, because of how they play. 😅The black items were gloves indeed, no haven't found those in green yet. But I have to get myself a replacement pair, because these already have holes in them. We haven't made a video about the headsets yet, but these are professional ones and that's were the differences come into place with what you've mentioned from your experience. These reduce noises that are too loud, but also enhance other noises to keep surrounding awareness. | Viper out
@@ReconBrothers thanks guys, I'll watch with interest how these headsets work. They look bulky too, but I'll reserve judgement to them until your review. 😋
Your not allowed to own ballistic plates? What country do you live in?
We used to live in Belgium. But I can confirm that this info was not correct. It's just that the laws there are never very clear on subjects like these and always jump to other articles or EU laws, etc. Eventually we learned that you're allowed to have one set of plates and one ballistic helmet per person according to EU laws.
I love his accent

Thanks for watching! 😁 | Instinct out

U guys are not allowed to own real ballistic plates? 🤦🏽♂️
No, in the EU there are very strict rules for owning ballistic products. They're only allowed for MI/LE personal and I believe even they may only use them in their work. | Viper out
@@ReconBrothers That moment, when you've been thinking, that your own country (Ukraine) sucked balls in terms of guns owning and self-defence, when this info comes! Even in coutnry where you can't hurt criminal first or more than equally in damage he dealt to you, and people are banned from pistols, we still can easily buy full set of any heavy storm trooper armor :) Funny.
😆The right to bear plastic arms😆
Being American, this is just cringing to watch. I have several (real) Rifle's, Pistol's and plate carrier's with authentic armor.
I couldn't imagine what it must feel like, that if you want to have all that in your country, you have to resort and settle for toy's and imitations.
It's not as restricted as you think. We are allowed to own firearms (and also ballistic protection, found out only recently), it's only more limited to your home & the range for static target shooting in Belgium. But Europe is a big place and we can cross borders easily to go and shoot in other countries to do more dynamic stuff and even advanced tactical lessons.
We once started out with airsoft, but are more and more entering the professional market with our company, so it's logical we make steps towards firearms as well. It's just easier to get into airsoft here than getting into shooting lead. Plus the force-on-force experience you gain from airsoft is in our eyes much more valuable than just shooting a static target and that's something a lot of shooters don't even realize.
But all this doesn't change a single fact on how you should setup your plate carrier. 😆 I Viper
@@ReconBrothers Makes sense. I was wondering where it was you are from.
In real situations, people aren't running around, jumping from obstacle to obstacle. Running around corners with a pistol instead of the rifle. In the Army, they strictly teach us to never opt for your pistol unless you absolutely have to. But I was not deployed with a pistol. Not once. Which is why you have to master the corners with the rifle, if you want to proceed and remain alive.
Air soft looks very fun. But the transition from airsoft to real firearms is so different. Ballistics like trajectory, hold overs, bullet drop, windage, trigger manipulation/reset, rate of fire, compensation, recoil, clearing jams and failures with remedial and immediate action etc. One would die quick in a real battle, running around like a lot of other airsoft guy's do. I'm not implying that these are your tactics by any means but most of airsoft guy's just run and gun. And they wonder why they get taken out so quickly and bitch about it.
We would also train with CCMC kits. You use your actual M4 or M16A4, whichever you're issued with and swap out the BCG and put in one that can only fire a specific cartridge. It is real brass that uses gunpowder like your standard round but the tip of it is only a plastic BB. So you get to train with your actual rifle, with real recoil while only 450fps. We actually got to shoot the hell out of one another with these while training. Good times. Well anyways, thanks for the reply. You have a page or anything other than yt to follow?
I agree man, there's a pretty big gap between airsoft & firearm shooting (& don't forget the stress a gun battle adds when your life is on the line). But it's certainly a great way to start learning about guns, equipment & tactics. And it's also a good way to work your dry-fire drills if you use it correctly.
You might even be surprised what sort of airsoft guns exist today. They're not all electric lawnmowers anymore these days. Gas blowback rifles (GBBRs) are the closest an airsoft gun can go these days to an actual firearm and shooting one might surprise you. We use such systems with professional instructors here to train CQB tactics since it's prohibited for civilians to do it with firearms.
But I get your view on airsoft in general. On one side you indeed have the guys that run and gun like a headless chicken, but on the other side you also have guys thinking they're SF and never trained a single day in their lives. We have, let's say, a more healthy approach. We're simply using it as a tool to improve ourselves and move onto the next step, and yes sometimes a fun event or weekend happens as well to practice what we've learned on courses.
We know about those kits where you alter the bolt and the ammo. It's pretty widely used in Poland for force-on-force courses. But it's usually restricted to either professional use or schools. We'll probably get do some courses with those as well some day. We have a FB & IG as well, all under the same name. And we also have a website & webshop which you can find through: reconbrothers.com/ 🤙
