Not to be a keyboard warrior or whatever but I'll just say that enablers of authoritarianism lose my respect as soon as that card is shown.

My other two M4's are PCCs. The Ronin (with the vector-style magwell) and the QRF Mod.2, they both take the same stick mags. Super convenient

-and even then, they sell almost all their parts direct so nothing's really unattainable for necessary repairs. It only impedes upgradability and I personally see no need for it.
I think they beat Specna and EMG. Performance on par with G&G but even better in many ways.

I should really be a better tech but I'm lazy when it comes to the guns so I much prefer stuff that works good out-of-the-box and I'll vouch heavy for KWA's M4 platform.
I've got 3 now and they all rock! Absolutely worth what you pay for unless you're very techy since they're pretty proprietary.

Here's the rear view of the RAV btw. I love my Mayflower (Velocity) backpack on my other vest so much I got another but with the gas mask bag. It fits my M320 perfectly and I can access it easy while wearing. The RG also doesn't clash with the OD I'm super happy!
Pretty expensive but I like it!

- Swagman Poncho
- Gray camo-painted Rain Jacket
- Nomex Flight Gloves
(surprisingly warm! my hands get cold quick)
My plate carrier's got multicam pouches. It's Lancer Tactical or something idk. So comfy. Has more coverage than more high-speed vests but still with the quick release buckles.

And in case you're wondering what I was rocking:
- Multicam pants and combat top
- Repro bump helmet with Novritsch Kreuzotter skrim cover
(the fabric is pretty bright under nods, thankfully no nods that night)
- Condor Summit soft shell
(not too warm on its own but great under a vest!)
- KWA M4A1
- Multicam pants and combat top
- Repro bump helmet with Novritsch Kreuzotter skrim cover

I do hope the day comes that their carelessness comes back to bite them hard. They won't even bother to put in the effort to try and cover up their intentions

Mamdani. Has. a Plan. The current Republican leaders, whenever asked, do nothing but vaguely state the obvious (or lie)
Wealth accumulated at the top and the only policies being made by the administration are only meant to keep it from trickling down... and to make you believe that's a good thing.

Some socialist tactics by the right people for the appropriate reasons is what NY needs I think. Our stagnation is what's choking us. We're Americans!! We innovate to survive!
Stand firm on our constitutional values, but don't get 100% married to Capitalism just cause it's "been the best so far".

But it was perfect for wearing at night! I ditched my plate carrier, threw on the poncho and just stuffed a couple of mags and my radio in the pocket and I was good to go!

Probably would've been fine sleeping in my cold weather sleeping bag, but I instead just brought my new Swagman woobie poncho and the bivy to try sleeping in so I wouldn't have to take off and put on my boots if we got attacked in the night. It wasn't enough.

Just keep innovating, keep helping each other, stay vigilant against injustice on a small scale and even if it doesn't outlast these asshole's short-term mindset strategies, you're doing the right thing!

In our declining capitalist environment, the Oligarchy figured out how to apply gross, min-maxing, enshittified, modern corporate strategies to politics which earned them the power they have.
They used to call that "efficiency" but now to what means? Societal regression is so bad rn

WW2 was when things were very clearly black-and-white. Obvious perception of evil.
After that, things got very gray and confusing, but now I feel like things are black-and-white once again! Because these days you can't gain the wealth of the richest in our world without stooping low. Real low.
