I use a Blue Force Gear sling for my SCAR 16. And a damn good sling it is, too. With BFG’s new PLATEminus plate carrier vest, I can now sling the body electric. Hang on; that doesn’t actually mean anything. Let’s try that again. Blue Force Gear is proud to announce that they’ve designed lightweight ballistic protection for a large turtle. No that’s not it. Seriously, I’m all at sea with this one. What do I know about HSLD? (I’m surprised I even know what that means.) For example: “PLATEminus is designed to fit any SAPI/ESAPI style armor plates, with or without plate backers.” I thought plate backers were something my mother bought to protect her dining room table from ring burns. Anyway, presser after the jump. And I want one for home defense. Not that it would make me look like the bad guy to the cops or national guard or anything . . .
SAN DIEGO, CA – Blue Force Gear® launches PLATEminus™ at the ADS Warrior Expo West Show at the San Diego Convention Center. PLATEminus features Blue Force Gear’s Patent pending MOLLEminus™ technology: MOLLE minus the weight, MOLLE minus the bulk, MOLLE minus the complexity.
PLATEminus is Blue Force Gear’s latest addition to their MOLLEminus product line. Available in sizes medium and large, PLATEminus is designed to fit any SAPI/ESAPI style armor plates, with or without plate backers. It has an inner plate pocket constructed of color matched CORDURA® and Tweave to provide camouflage and signature reduction. PLATEminus utilizes MOLLEminus technology with voids and slots laser cut out of one piece of ULTRAcomp™ laminate instead of layers of sewn nylon and webbing as the MOLLE platform.
“We designed PLATEminus with simplicity in mind,” said John Felushko, Blue Force Gear’s Product Line Manager. “PLATEminus is simple to put on with single pull forward side straps, simple to customize due to full MOLLE compatibility and simple to size – just buy your SAPI/ESAPI plate size.”
The MOLLEminus design provides the thinnest, strongest, lightest modular load carriage of individual combat equipment: half the thickness of a dime, over 4 times as abrasion resistant as air textured nylon and formed from a single piece of Blue Force Gear’s proprietary ULTRAcomp™ laminate. PLATEminus is compatible with all legacy issue MOLLE pouches and for the ultimate lightweight plate carrier combine PLATEminus with pouches featuring Blue Force Gear’s revolutionary Helium Whisper™ attachment system.

We’ve regressed to being such complete and utter humorless, thin skinned wussies. Of all the true outrages in the world happening every day some gal wearing a gun-print dress actually makes news.
It is all really simple…. think back through history and what has happened every time ‘they’ try and ban something:
They said the Heavy Metal was going to destroy our kids, they were all going to commit suicide or something. The PMRCA formed up to protect the children. They made a ‘ratings system’ for music (and later games) that made record sales go through the roof.
They said alcohol was going to destroy the very country and tried to ban it. Did ban it for 13 years. You know, to save the kids. Alcohol sales in the neighboring countries went through the roof and the black market started making a few courageous people very rich. Coffee Houses were all the rage, Whiskey flavored coffee, Gin flavored coffee, wink-wink.
Two very simple examples, there are dozens and dozens of others. Why do I tell you this? Because we have to treat Piers Morgan the same way. If we try and ban him or deport him or anything he gets the attention. And like any three year old throwing a tantrum all he wants is the attention.
The solution?
Piers Morgan? What’s a Piers Morgan? Is that something the kids are doing these days to piss off their parents?
Simply ignore the idiot. He will continue to scream and whine and get more and more outrageous trying to get us to pay attention and it will eventually get him fired or deported on his own.
you mean they didn’t cut his balls off so he cant contaminate the rest of the world
if we got Piers and LaPierre in the same space would they annihilate each other?
he can stay. If you dont like him, change the channel. Dont be fooled, i am pretty sure like lady Huffington hes mostly about the benjamins.
Fyi, all of our Glocks were choking on Fiochi in the academy
How much pull does this twit actually have? I mean, I hate having an effeminate foreigner who can’t appreciate freedom in our sense of the word dictating his homeland’s failed policies on us more than the next guy, but does anyone actually pay attention to that haughty nincompoop?
Easy prediction: CNBC paints the AR15 as used for target shooting and occasionally mass murder, asking about the latter over and over, and ignore anything related to the RKBA.
I hope TTAG gets a shout-out somehow 🙂
Also, if you watched the video: please let the 2A tattoo be sharpie. Please. Ugh.
He’s welcome to leave or stay, as he sees fit. It makes less than zero difference in my life. However, I find the likelihood of his leaving to be almost nonexistent. He knows where he is better off, and that’s clearly not in his home country.
Price would have been nice.
my wife has a vicious dog, it is a cross between a corgie and a chiawawa no ankles are safe. my mom has a border collie, no bark just bite and sneaky too. what a maroon…
This trash rag yellow “journalist” is on CNN for crying out loud, what do you expect? England doesnt want the creep, they threw his stupid ass out so where else would he end up if not CNN or MSNBC?
The sad thing is that he is so easily eviscirated by logic, but other than Larry Pratt and Ted Nugent most of the pro gun punching bags on his show look shaky when he gets all indignant and pouty like the queen he is.
