[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Homebrew Riot Gear? For bashing commie scum. (Page 1 of 4)

Posted: 4/18/2017 12:57:53 PM EDT

Say if you were going to the Berkley riot, what would you wear or bring? Would you feel confident going in?

I am a pretty large man, 6'4 and 255 LBS. I wouldn't really be scared of most Antifa commie scum but my problem is I wear glasses. I would need to find a way to wear a helmet and glasses at the same time. My contacts are expired and I'm waiting for more.

I imagine I would wear a helmet and a cup for my boys. Maybe a surplus flack vest if I could find one, or even the paintball armour. Probably long sleeves, jeans and boots. And the Texas and US Flag, duh.

So what would you wear / bring to the braw? How would you counter act mace and bear spray?

Riot shield.

Find a helmet with a face shield. You don't want those peoples spit touching you.

4ft pole with 4"spike on tip and razors embedded on the shaft. Have fun trying to rip that from my hands.

I would say that avoiding riots is a far better idea.

However, if you are unintentionally caught up in one, the glasses and expandable-band wristwatch are the first things to be ripped off your body by the frantic crowd surrounding you So stash them if things go bad. Wearing an athletic supporter with a cup is a pretty good idea, and having some pepper spray as well as eye-safe wipes in case it is sprayed on you is also useful. Contact lenses are NOT a good thing if you are subjected to tear gas and/or pepper spray.

Again, avoiding trouble, if you can, is a much better plan.

I was inadvertently caught-up in a number of riots in the late '50's/'60's/'70's, and I believe I speak with some experience.

I could legit make a helmet with the bread the MIL makes, shits hard as a rock. Probably throw them at commies, too.

Does anyone know if they have been throwing paint at these skirmishes? That would suck, haveing my goggles or face shield covered and swinging blind.

Ride a motorcycle.

Wear a full face motorcycle helmet, motorcycle jacket, motorcycle boots, and motorcycle gloves.

Motorcycle all the things.

You will be nicely armored, with some good shit-kicking boots on, some damn fine armor over your knuckles, and your head/face will be fully protected.

Plus, you will look cool riding with the flags on the back of your bike.

What about like a lacrosse shirt you could wear a shirt over?

Thats the whole point though, when they use the pepper spray or paint then you dispose the goggles.

Ice hockey helmet (with the clear facemask, not the wire cage) or motorcycle helmet. Or a paintball mask. With a motorcycle helmet you can flip the facemask up and still be protected. Might get a little hot and sweaty though. Hockey shoulder pads (football pads don't cover the chest as much)

Those do look pretty awesome, but this bit at the bottom caught my eye.

"Please Note: Helmets may show signs of long term storage / care. Emblem may or may NOT be included. Face shields may only be half face shields".

Serious question: why not wear a plate carrier and hard plates to one of these shindigs?

Outfit yourself just like LE. Plates, riot helmet with face shield, and gloves with poly knuckles. Add in some shoulder pads and some groin/thigh protection, and you're ready to party.

I had thought about it, I just was thinking plates and would be overkill and a little heavy. I guess I could stop being a pussy and just do it ha.

KYLE CHAPMAN GEARING UP

If you wear glasses consider wearing good-quality ski-goggles OVER them and a baseball helmet (like Stickman) or bike helmet.

Soccer shinguards on the forearms can be great concealed blockers against sticks.

Motorcycle armor +

And 500 count bag of pepperball rounds. Test fired and pressure tuned to a velocity just barely slow enough to keep the balls from shredding on firing (300-315fps). And aim at the face/throat of any threat. Even if they wear a mask, getting throat shot with a 68cal projectile is a fight stopper (I'm speaking from experience from many pasture "outlaw" matches with friends heavily overclocked markers)

Pop the tank tank off and it fits in a backpack.

All of that hat being said, if I end up at a protest or on the wrong end of an Anifa temper tantrum, it won't have been by choice... and my options will be much more lethal in category.

Give yourself all the advantages. Better protection against airburst M80s, and you know one of these shitstains is going to eventually succeed in sneaking in a handgun. I mean, shit, you could make multihit level IIIa plates out of fiberglass welding blanket and bondo resin. Check the video:

Watch "The Road Warrior".....determine what outfit appeals to you.

Go to your local Thrift or Goodwill type store and outfit yourself appropriately.

Hardware store....Red/Black paint if you are a commie.....Red White and Blue if you love the USA

Put it all together and attend rally of your choice

A 3D cell Maglight stuck in a jean pocket would make a pretty good "broken arrow" backup baton that could be justified to the po po as just a flashlight. You'd be popular with the ladies too.
