So I've been running the "slick" or just the molle 5.56 and 7.62Nato Velocity Placards on my plate carrier for awhile and they work well and are well built, but don't innovate much, I also don't like how you have to have the tabs on to lock in the magazines as they will fall out (although re-indexing mags is very easy).
If I wanted a placard I would go for the Parashooter and maybe run some bungee around the whole thing mid way down to retain mags a bit better with the flaps tucked. If I wanted a chest rig that I'm not wearing over armor I would definitely get the Velocity for the extra pouches on the front..
Have you tried running any kydex inserts to help with mag retention? It looks like for the size, they could have done without those four slots and added an extra mag cell.
@@lima3dynamics That’s a fat L. You’d think they would have given the ability for inserts given the proliferation on the market but I guess Velocity just wanted to be INDIVIDUALS 🤣.
So sorry it took a couple days to get back to you. I think I could have fit 2 m4 mags in but it would have been way too tight if so. I didn’t try to force the second one in but I think it technically would fit but wouldn’t work the way you wanted it to

Agreed
what would you suggest for 5.56 galil mags? The AK placard or the AR placard?

I haven’t. I’m not sure the inserts would have anything to hold them in on this placard.

I give em props for making something for the AK, but I’m hoping for a “version 2” with a lot of improvements
Great video man
Thanks
What plate carriers will it work on? I have a crye jpc 2.9 and I'm getting a crye avs plate carrier soon
Any with your standard clips.
Would 2x M4 magazines fit in each cell?
I don’t think so but I’ll check today and get back to you
