This guide details the installation and features of the Spiritus Systems Micro Fight Chassis Mk 6. Lead designer Matt demonstrates how to attach various buckle systems (side release, G-hooks, tubes buckles) for different configurations like chest rigs and placards on plate carriers. It also covers insert installation and height adjustment for optimal fit and function.

This video provides a comprehensive comparison between chest rigs and body armor for civilian preppers and riflemen, using the METT-TC (Mission, Enemy, Time, Terrain, Troops, Civilian Considerations) framework. It emphasizes that the 'best' gear is mission-dependent, with chest rigs favoring mobility and sustainment for long patrols or bug-outs, while body armor is crucial for direct action, expected contact, and high-threat environments. The instructor highlights that survivability often trumps maneuverability in certain scenarios, but also warns against overestimating personal logistics and underestimating the physical demands of wearing armor.

This video teases the upcoming release of the Spiritus Systems LV-120, a new plate carrier system. It showcases cinematic footage of tactical operations, including breach and entry, shooting drills, and close-ups of high-end tactical equipment like helmets with NVGs. The release is scheduled for tomorrow at 3 PM EST.

This video explains the Universal Carrier Attachment Standard (UCAS), a collaborative project between Spiritus Systems, Ferro Concepts, and the government. UCAS aims to standardize how accessories like back panels and placards attach to plate carriers, promoting interoperability and expanding options for end-users. The standard covers zipper specifications and buckle attachment methods, with detailed specifications to be publicly released. The initiative is driven by the desire to benefit the end-user by allowing greater flexibility in gear selection and compatibility across different manufacturers.

This video provides a comprehensive ballistic test of Guard Dog Armor's Level 3A+ plates, constructed from UHMWPE. The instructor demonstrates their effectiveness against 9mm, .44 Magnum, and 5.7x28mm rounds, including point-blank and multi-strike scenarios, highlighting minimal backface deformation and impressive structural integrity. The review emphasizes the exceptional value proposition, especially with available discounts.

This video provides a comprehensive overview of essential gear for home and property defense, particularly for preppers. It covers a range of firearms, including AR-15s, AK-47s, pistol caliber carbines, lever-action, and bolt-action rifles, discussing their pros and cons for defense scenarios. The presenter also details crucial accessories like magazines, slings, ammunition, optics, lights, body armor (plate carriers, chest rigs, battle belts), trauma kits, communication devices, and specialized equipment like night vision and thermal optics, emphasizing quality and preparedness.

This video features a critique of a home defense AR-15 build by former Navy SEAL Jeff Gonzales. Key takeaways include the importance of a suppressor for indoor use, the critique of an overly complex sling, and recommendations for reliable optics. The discussion highlights the trade-offs of short-barreled rifles (SBRs) for home defense and emphasizes practical gear selection over complexity.

This guide details the tool-less field stripping process for the Beretta ARX-160, as demonstrated by a Beretta factory representative. It covers the quick-release barrel, stock, trigger group, and bolt assembly, emphasizing ease of maintenance. The representative highlights the rifle's modularity and ambidextrous features, noting its current military availability with future civilian plans.

This entry details the Fostech .50 Cal Drum Magazine, designed for Barrett M107 and 82A1 rifles, featuring a 20-round capacity and billet machined aluminum construction. It also touches upon the Fostech Rader .308 rifle. The information is presented with high technical focus from a manufacturer representative.

This video from ARFCOM News details a ballistic gel test of Remington's 158gr SJHP .357 Magnum ammunition fired from a 16-inch Rossi Model M92 carbine. The test highlights how carbine-length barrels significantly enhance .357 Magnum performance, achieving velocities comparable to some .300 Blackout loads and demonstrating substantial penetration and expansion in ballistic gel. The analysis touches on terminal ballistics theories and the unique behavior of high-velocity pistol rounds fired from rifles.
