batman belt

[marduk185]

so, basically curious what other real deal O.A.F. ninjas are putting on their first line gunfight rigs, where, and why?

im currently moving away from a chest rig and instead outfitting a tactical tailor battle belt. my needs are for a light range use fight belt that can give me the same feel in practice as it would have if armageddon required it combined with a plate carrier and any additional mission specifics, so the baseline rig should in my estimation have a lot of real estate left open when in normal use and be light as possible while still being modular enuf to go heavy when needed.

right now its looking like i have 1 oclock quick release type single rifle mag, 3 oclock safariland drop leg with 2 extra mags on shingle, 7 oclock double mag quick release type sidearm pouch, 9-10 oclock 2 double rifle mag pouches, 11 oclock 2 single sidearm mag pouches. so far this rig has no knife(although my plate carrier has a glock knife on it and my EDC micro rig does too), no canteen, no IFAK. i can add suspenders if i load it heavy but so far it is fairly easy to wear without that, at least for short spells.

i should state that my uses are basically in case of societal breakdown. if the small urban locale in which i abide turned freefire zone one day. so id like to hear any recommendations from folks who have been professional gunfighters as to their take on what is useful or worthless.

Equipment is modified to suit the mission. And 'societal breakdown' isn't a mission.

 

[diverdon]

I am sure that rig will be very useful as you patrol the mall.

 

[Asperly Aimless]

Don't forget a pouch for your smart phone.

 

[RyeDaddy]

Grappling hook is a must, as well as some ninja smoke bombs and shurikens. Plus a holder for an extra large bottle of Stimutacs, you slayer of Tiamat!

no i think you misunderstand...i carry EDC gear for the mall(if i ever traveled the 60 or so miles to reach the nearest)

this is strictly balloon has gone up apockyclips madness gear that will usually be stowed in a samsonite suitcase for excrement striking fan scenarios.

 

[marduk185]

Don't forget a pouch for your smart phone.

dont really have a phone and wouldnt likely add that since EMP's or enemy interceptions would make them bunk. also they tend to radiate nads, a big no no for one who must repopulate the planet post pockyclips.

if i did decide to add smartphone id prefer mounting it to me quadrail next to me mp3player and fleshlight

i see where you are technically correct but i would say that defending or moving my family to a more secure location due to a sudden reduction in rule of law would, for me, constitute a mission.

 

[VJJPunisher]

add a general purpose pouch for small binos, note taking materials, maps, etc. Also a D ring for adding a massive anal impailing device with, or DILDO for the layman.

 

[LawnMM]

Spend the money on ammo and training. If anything was to happen your ability to actually shoot will come in more handy than looking cool on the Internet.

[finbox]

Not to hijack this thread, but does anybody know where I can get a multicam banana case with molle? Sometimes an a gunfight I get low on potassium.

Not in the classic sense of the term.

According to Richard Cloward, Frances Piven and host of others - you are wrong.

The best part? Indolent Americans neither possess the intellectual curiosity nor sense of self preservation to learn about about the paradigm shift taking place since 1913 and accelerating through today.

Instead we have factions that are concerned with dancing with the stars, legalizing dope, being PC, and fantasy threads like this.

Three weeks ago I watched a few minutes of a training class that was put on locally. Half of the class (including the instructor cadre) were 300#ers, they were shooting behind cover but were all standing (exposing from the waist up). As I stood there I thought - this is what is going to come down to? A bunch of fat retards that have Gucci gear, 10 mags worth of ammo, no long term food, no water, no skills, no plan, and don't even understand how we got here. Awesome.

Cloward was a professor and activist (at Columbia, I think) who believed that delinquency was not a matter of personal responsibility but that it could be resolved through aggressive government funding of social programs. He fought for a guaranteed minimum income and for increasing and raising the social safety net.

In the Navy he was an Ensign and in the Army he worked as a social worker. So he didn't talk much about missions.

His expertise was in building society through government organizations and passing aggressive legislation for that purpose. He had little or no interest in post-apocalyptic societal breakdown that I know of.

Cloward and Piven sought to "overwhelm the system" by an overwhelming influx of Americans receiving public welfare benefits to a degree which the US government could no longer handle it, and ultimately collapse to be replaced with a socialist/communist system that would provide a "guaranteed minimum income". So, yes, Cloward and Piven did have a mission---to collapse the US government's ability to keep up with social welfare programs, however it was not apocalyptic, rather transitional.

Shotgun, rifle and 4wheel drive. Pair of favorite jeans and good leather belt to hold em up so I don't get mistaken for one of those ill mannered yutes.

A good friend of mine once said: "I don't need to be a prepper. I just need the other guy to be a prepper. Then, when the time comes, I can take his stuff and move-in with his wife."

in what sense of the term would you like me to skullfuck you and your wife and take all of your shit (food, water, guns, ammo, etc. basic on-site procurement) in order to increase the probability of survival for my family...

Your friend must be a boss. People probably faint around him.

I don't run much on my belt because I also run a battle rattle but I usually have a fastmag for carbine and a fastmag for pitol on my weak side. Pistol holster on strong side. Dump pouch in the rear and maybe a small admin type pouce for odd shit.

this is the funniest and most accurate shit I have heard on SH, ever, even including all of the truly informative firearms related expert advise on here... all of my briefings henceforth will be delivered via xtranormal (text to movie format)... I will completely phase myself out of a job briefing young douchebag operators that think #1 guy in the stack is the coolest and turn myself into a Special Forces Stephen Hawking voiceover... that way I can spend more time in the field and on the range, honing my fieldcraft and learning to shoot out to 1,000 yards...

Thank you for making my point: That it's not about equipment placement.

Good call: He is. And for good reason. But people only faint around him when he smoke-checks them.

OP, unless you have a backside like Serena Williams, hanging a lot of stuff on your belt can be terminally dumb.

And if you do have a backside like that, be careful when you turn your back.

Ok, I just about lost my coffee through my nose when I came upon this thread...LOL!

C'mon guys, the OP asked a straightforward question. Here's what I have attached to my "bug out belt" (in no particular order):

12" fixed blade survival knife
3 liters of gatorade
7 loaded pmags
12 butterfinger bars
Fishing line and hooks
Kindle Fire with a bunch of survival/living off the land reference material
A stick of butter
Canned bacon
Plastic Playing cards
Cast Iron Skillet
One of the aluminum foil blanket thingys
Headlamp
Tomahawk
Extra pair of socks
Chainsaw
An extra can of bacon
Map of Las Vegas
5 gallons of diesel fuel
Nail clippers
A couple bandaids
A bag of charcoal for 'grilling'
A crescent wrench

I think I have everything covered.

ok guys this thread has gotten a bit askew...i didnt ask for a survival belt...i have camping and survival gear that i usually keep in my badass suburban. i am reasonably well versed in survival and bugout lore. what im brushing up on here and trying to upgrade kit for is the unlikely instance that i may require modern gunfight regalia. the belt should be a gunfighter rig. one that i can put thru rigorous rangetime training, possibly classes and comps. and in my opinion anyone who aint a prepper at least mentally, is a sheeple weak sauce ass thumber.

what i would expect from someone hailing from the land of abraham "likes to be ass pounded by black meat" lincoln.

 

[tylerw02]

I suspect we shall see a ban hammer over that one.

But seriously, if you need a belt , know how to use one, you know what you need on one.

not sure why a ban hammer,

but to the more interesting second part of your statement i am confused. i know how to use a conventional pistol belt. i know how to load rifle mags from a chest rig or plate carrier. i did not claim to be a soldier or swat officer. what i was looking for was is there any secret sauce wisdom on how to configure a battle belt so as to merge the rifle mags and pistol mags in a tried field tested manner that will bring me ahead of the trial and error curve... but thanks for the help anyway. seems im not OAF enuf for your feedback, or maybe you consider pouch placement somehow opsec?

How is it that you've managed here for over 5 years?

 

[Hairball]

Just purchase whatever you think is good and don't ask it here as you won't get the answers you are looking for. Anyone thats been in a "Modern Gunfight" is going to give you shit just for asking such a question and then throwing insults is only going to bring out those that will challange every piece of "captain midnight" crap you think you might need or how you intend to use it. Stick with the essentials of food, water, shelter, and medical supplies. While firearms are nice for personal protection, the chance of you "fighting" across the state to get to some pre-determed location is so slim that its not even worth talking about. If its a one-on-one situation you may have a chance if they give you a warning before they start shooting. If a group of folks want you dead, you're dead and all you have accomplished was providing them with some extra gear. If you want a belt for comps there are plenty of good folks on here to direct you to the right stuff, if you are looking for answers to build your "battle rig" it ain't going to happen.

managed quite well, i had over 3000 posts iirc before frank thru out all the 2nd amendment threads. im a shooter and this forum is for shooters. did i answer your question?

why would i want food water shelter and medical supplies, on a gunbelt?

 

[marduk185]

also, is it worth money to upgrade to a steel claspy thingy belt buckle or is the plastic one on the tactical tailor good enuf for real world fights and comp use?

Not really since it takes the average new member about 10-20 posts max to learn that posting stuff like this ends...pretty much where this was heading from the jump. Yet after 3000+, you still post this gem? If your situational awareness is that poor in real life, no belt/rig will help you.

Anyways, your "batman belt" thead has been everything I hoped it would be. It's be a pleasure making your acquaintance, Marmaduke.
