Because what you're asking for is pretty unrealistic in usability.
Spoken from experience not a wannabe.
You've been told ar500 is going to be heavy and bulky yet you still think its an option.
but hey, you know better. So knock yourself out.
Everything is an option until eliminated because of a better option at a price within someone's budget or a grand show of experience. Eliminating something simply because of someone's opinion is utterly stupid unless it's been done with a lot of research. You say you speaking from experience means absolutely nothing to me as it's completely unverifiable. I have to look at what you write to see if you're just a military wannabe or if you have real experience. Unistamus, while unverifiable, feels like he has experience from the tone in his posts and the information he's posted. You just posted sarcasm with already understood weight factors. Frankly, that negates your opinion as valid far more than just your statement of "Spoken from experience not a wannabe", whatever that means.
Just suggested you try a cheaper setup before you waslste $1000 o. Something you'll watch laying in the corner unusable because its too **** heavy.
Then suggest that without the sarcasm. Give me a real world example where you, in the miltary or the police force, had to deal with the weight and the challenges it presented. That's not hard to do, really. Also, your posts indicate that you haven't fully read what people and myself wrote in response to each other. Again, that eliminates part of any validity you had.
Any carrier that puts you ammo directly in your front needs to be a reconsideration. I don't care if its got one, two or three mags in it. As soon. As you plop on your belly, you mags are now between you and the ground getting smashed. And when crap starts flying overhead, you won't be able to suck yourself to the ground fast enough or low enough.
Any magazine that goes into the pouch has to come out in a timely and usable fashion. Put in right side up, its a bitch getting g them out with nothing to grab. Then put on your super hsld nomex bitchin glove and it o my makes life more interesting. So then you go find all them hsld magpul rubber loops only to find d your fancy two-mag pouch can now only accept one mag because the loops are too bulky and the pouches too tight.
Now this is good info. Unfortunately it's still tainted with some sarcasm, but instead of it being directed at a person, it's more directed at a product. This speaks more to experience than just an opinion. Assume less that people are complete idiots and offer more neutral information. I have plenty of military buddies I've been asking things of so I can validate things said on this forum extremely easily. Heck, right across from me is a guy who recently served in Afghanistan. I validated a number of things Uni said against him. I plan to validate some things you said against him as well.
