The dude on the left has a scope. Not sure what's on the one in the background.

The guy on the left has PMags, with the one in his AR pistol having a Taran Tactical extended base pad which are like $40. Even windowed gen 3 mags are less than $20/each. The guy on in the middle looks like he has Lancer mags, which can be more expensive depending on what kind and color. Left guy has a Law folder on his AR pistol, adding ~$250 to it. Middle guy has some kind of knock off one, maybe Sylvan Arms. I'm not as familiar with it, but it's definitely significantly cheaper. I can't tell too much more about their AR pistols themselves otherwise. Can't tell what LPVO the left guy has (which could wildly vary in cost and potentially be very expensive). Middle guy has the Eotech, though I can't tell which specific one, but it would be ~$400-500 or so. Guy on the left has what looks like a DBAL-A4, which is almost $3000. He also has a suppressor, but I can't tell which one either. Middle guy looks like he might have a Surefire Warden with a suppressor cover. It's so short that it doesn't seem like it could be anything else, unless it's some modular suppressor like JK Armament in the smallest configuration, but that wouldn't attenuate sound very much. It's impossible to tell how much their plates cost. They could be cheap steel plates (which are a bad idea) or ceramic, the latter which could be thousands of dollars for a set, and that's only if they don't also have side plates. I don't know enough about nightvision, heltmets, clothing, and other gear to figure out what they have and how much it costs.

It looks like he has a JPC 2 ($240), a Haley D3CRX-H chest rig ($180) and mounting gear ($30). If he got a set of Hesco L210s (about the cheapest set of reputable special threat rated plates you can get at roughly $350) he’s over $600 deep on that alone. I own the same poo poo but if you ever see me wearing it in public outside of a civil war situation then please just shoot me

Well, if you're going to a protest where you know there will be other trigger happy chuds, I guess it's fairly rational to bring the plates and carrier.... The guy on the left is probably wearing/carrying nearly $10K in gear. He reminds me of all the douchebags who buy $40k trucks to LARP as blue collar when they actually own a car dealership or some other business to clear seven figures a year.

They drop all of this money on what’s for them essentially dangerous cosplay but can’t buy a gym membership or something? That pouch near his fupa is likely full of cold cuts or s’mores fixings.

I was about to say, no way a dude with this much gear is rolling around in some spalltastic AR500 plates, he probably spend a grand+ on some plates "just like the SEALs use" so he could tell that to every dumbass gravy seal he meets

Am I just old, because I thought the operator look was still jeans, t-shirt, plate carrier, kneepads, beard and baseball hat. When did people start cosplaying as grunts?

Two Fing and I were discussing the Siccario films the other day, and about how the moral of the first one was “Hmm, the drug war and a militarized border are contributing to an ever-spiraling cycle of violence and are pretty bad!” whereas the second was “Hmm, the drug war and a militarized border are contributing to an ever-spiraling cycle of violence and it’s loving AWESOME!” The second one lacked all of the complexity and rigor of the first and basically just felt like chud fan fiction with a budget.

One of the most popular YouTube videos film theory crafting about Sicario is that “Kate is actually the bad guy because she’s not willing to DO WHAT IT TAKES.” Not to spoil the ending but what it takes is apparently executing children and using JSOC as a secret death squad
