What It Takes

[the1kidd03]

Buying guns and gear is good.

How are you training with them?

and WHAT scenarios do you plan/try to prepare and train for?...........self-defense only vs a full on SHTF situation could drastically alter training priorities or methodologies along with other factors

 

[the1kidd03]

Bringing this thread back. Heres my start. I wish more people would had posted pics.

one thing you might add to this mix is a good secondary weapon.....a must in some situations and you don't want to be caught in one of them without it before figuring it out

He has pistol mags, so I'd guess there's a pistol in there somewhere.

That's what I assumed, but it wasn't presented so........they almost look like single stacks, but resemble Glock mags in design

rifle looks like a Yugo WASR variant?

Wish I'd noticed this earlier. Not a good pic but where I do the majority of my indoor training.

Thats a Chicom underfolder.

 

[Zero_ek]

Unfortuneatly a wasr10.

 

[WETSU]

Oh yeah. The gastube and white/chrome bolt carrier threw me. That front sight and no dimple reciever is all WAAR 10 though. I am getting rusty.

LOL, yeah I definitely can't see the pistol....good choice though

The combination suppressor, non-dimpled receiver, and underfolder is what threw me. I knew it was a WASR, but having that flash hider with an underfolder is different. I am not an "AK expert" though. It doesn't really matter so long as you can identify a weapons relative caliber, capacity, and perhaps sights, and barrel length to know its capabilities when up against it.

I've had a number of them over the years...and my job in the military required me to be able to identify weapons we may encounter...but IMO, an AK is an AK...It does the same thing and is equally reliable no matter what it's specifics are...and so I personally don't feel a need to concern myself with that level of detail in the platform....again, so long as I can ID it's capabilities when/if put up against it in a situation....there's too many variants to keep track of these days for an overall reliable platform

My response was to Zero_ek about the amount of kettlebells I own.

I didn't quote him and probably should've. I actually have less than I did a couple of years ago where I was training classes of 10 at a time out of my home. I had 20 total, now I have 12.

lol...that's a lot.....got any ground mats you don't want? lol

Nope, I've got 24' sq that I bought in puzzle mat form from MC Sports. I wish I could get ahold of a wrestling mat for cheap.

Yeah, same here...I'd like to have the mats particularly for anyone I instruct...but I have no problem hitting the ground...it's almost all we had in the military so it doesn't bother me any.........Dicks had some 3'x6' individual workout mats for like $60, but for the price it would take to get a 12x12 it wouldn't be any cheaper than just buying one............

how do you like those puzzle mats?
