I have been working on a CB Pantac 6094 vest and this the final product. Note: there are things I want to change and I want to add but I'm looking for cretiques to see what I did wrong or should change to make it more user freindly. I will give a complete item.list as well as item placement with reason for that placement.
Item list:
Head area:
Operator tan ball cap with IR US flag flash tape on top square
ESS tan goggles with clear lense (copper lenses stays in pouch in hydopack until needed)
Crossfire shooters sunglasses as primary eye protection unless at a cqc event
Tan shamagh for neck protection
1 ea CB ops Irene sling
No comm yet.
Chest area:
Tan paca soft armor
CB LT6094 ( I'm pretty sure its a A model)
Front
2 each break away OD rings to hold gear
1 da triple m4 pouch with tan magpuls(awaiting midcaps to use my m4) placed to pull for personal use or for wingman use if running a 5.56 (example. Saw gunner needs a quick mag for some reason) or if I am using my Mp7 for cqc or night games it holds 12 100 mags and 3 low cap
3 ea safari land zip cuffs through left shoulder pad into webbing for quick access.
left side area:
In the built in mag pouch is my death rag and red and white glow sticks for easy access.for events.
1 ea Small utility pouch on first area for batteries
1 ea large utility pouch for thunderB flash bang
1 ea 1911 serpa for easy access I am left handed
1 ea pistol bungee to retain pistol or smg incase weapon catch fails
1 ea rip away medic pouch a little to far to rip away quickly for a real op but my wingman can pull and not get in my way while covering the person or if i am on the phone with the emergancy responce I.wouldn't need to be distracted
Right side area:
Midland radio in built in mag pouch to use incase I ever need comm
3 ea TT double 7.62 buckle top mag pouches for my EBR placed here allows me to lay prown and reload while my rifle is propped so I cam reload while lineing up my target
1 ea small utility pouch holds a extra ThunderB for my wingman or myself to access as well as 4 shotgun shells for my m1014 incase I use this for a cqc game.
1 ea TT rollable buckle dump pouch under the small utility pouch again allows ly EBR to.be roloaded with just my right hand dump mag then pull next mag from mag pouches.
Back side area:
1 ea molle hydo pack with built in outer pocket for extra cold packs and other medical suplies moral patches on back velcro to just have
5 ea safari land zip cuffs weaved through molle behind hydro pack to keep out of way unless needed mostly there for looks or incase medial split or something needs to be held in place.
Bottom of hydo pack and bottom molle is a voodoo multipurpose pouch. I use it to hold what ever is needed for the special tasking for the event like claymores or something holds 3 claymore in main pouch plus 4 m4 mag easy. Also has 2 pouches on either side to hold 2 more thunder B and front pouch holds 6 75 round speed loader for reloading myself or anyone's Pmags as well as latex free gloves and medical sheers.
Dring with rescue 8 on back left side loop for repelling idea
I of the belt but also holds. Kneepads and elbow pads when not in use
Belt area:
Black hawk rigger belt
1ea right hand universal drop leg. Wanted a left but works if I need to abandon a mag in mid reload to use a side arm. Or if I want to use one of my many other handguns from my collection
Uniform:
I run multiple uniforms depending on what teams or groups I am playing with so that depends on teams and events
Boots are black bates steel toe, bates sage green steel toe, black hawk tan combat boots these are to keep propper uniform regs with each uniform.
I originally built this for a seal team loadoit but I feel I let it get out of hand and list the goal slightly. But I could be wrong. I had some ideas like a weapon catch for the M1014 with a large shell pouch. With a long leg panel to hold 3 pistol mag pouches the shell pouch or m203 if I ran my grenadier stuff, and m4 mags on quick pulls or tacos.As well as maybe finding a way to get a BUMP RAID light weight helmet for looks and rail use for lights IR for night ops or get a helmet cam
Reasoning for kit:
I based everything on running a max of 3 man squad while rest of unit.or team goes to complete the primary tasks while this small group clears ahead bunkers or what have you to hold ground while the team gets there so ammo amount and going from my DMR tasking to cqc had to be almost instant. I used the larger ops like Irene to base my reasonings on. Long game time groups change from indoor to outdoor constantly and teams seem to thin when multiple tasks need to be done. or main force is needing Intel on areas they don't hold in force.
I have photos of my kit in my gallery I will post more of me wearing it once I cam get a.camera man. I apologize for not posting photos on this thread. I don't know how or if I can from a phone.
