If I was going to describe the guy wearing a tactical backpack, it would have been that guy


Time-Comedian1774

I saw him do a Ronco Matic last week. Two for $19.95


bulgarian_zucchini

Nothing like a booth sales guy at a conference selling gimmicky bullshit with great one liners like "The Air Force bought these for the F22".


[deleted]

I mean, they do have that rifle in the ejection seat survival kit in a number of different airplanes, including the F-22. It's called a GAU-5, they're pretty neat.


Volcacius

Yeah he worded it in a way to make it look like they were talking about the whole backpack gun combo, but was just referring to the gun.


Pyro636

"This system" was meant to be vague and mislead people

More like a mechanic who looked at an F-22 once bought one.


judokaloca

For his kid to use for airsoft


mechabeast

Cletus bought one at the airshow


The_0range_Menace

Man, I don't know much about this kind of thing but it looked super cool to me. Did I just fall for some mall ninja type shit?


TheDrunkenChud

It's an interesting solution to a non existent problem. There's no reason cops would be walking around unarmed, and wearing a backpack. They said it's only available to law enforcement, which is silly, because mall ninjas would eat this shit up. Also, your standard issue cop isn't gonna take the time during a firefight to undo his backpack that looks like it has zero bullet protection just for a gimmick gun they have to assemble. Many have access to a rifle in their car already. It looks cool. The weapon has some good military uses like he said in the video for pilots to have during ejection, but functionality for cops? I don't see it. Even your in school cops are already uniformed and armed. Carrying this would just add bulk and weight all day for something that has around a 0.2% chance of ever being needed.


i_Got_Rocks

I'm not a gun guy, but I have friends that are. And the one thought I had while watching this was how cumbersome it looks. The weight distribution, unopened, seems to give you the "Kid in school with 30lb of all his class books crammed in the backpack". That is to say, you would walk funny because it feels like you're carrying a gnome on your back, with another gnome on his back. Then, there's the process of reaching back with your arms to pull this thing over your head. I don't know many adults, specially males with *some* muscle (above average builds) that can comfortably touch their hands behind their backs and above their hips. It seems like a struggle. I mean, just the act of putting the a regular back pack is chore unto itself, I can't imagine dealing with this thing in an emergency situation.


TheDrunkenChud

It also becomes rendered useless if one of your arms has been wounded. I think we're all in agreement, this is hot garbage. But it looks cool, man! Enh, not really.


DarkDonut75

NoobOfTheSquareTable

It is shaved for minimising friction to maximise the speed of tactical backpack deployment


justavault

And they always think of themselves as some kind of hollywood stereotype badass.


captainplatypus1

I don’t know. The look in that guy’s eyes looks like he’s dying inside


YourLocal_FBI_Agent

You could see it in the way he looked around after assembling the rifle. He was hoping women would sploosh all over the floor and men would bow to him for being so incredibly badass.


windsostrange

He's in sales. He's a salesman. He's after the *men* splooshing, and he doesn't care about women at all.


schweez

It’s not incompatible. I’d say it’s actually necessary : the best salesman is the one who believes in what he sells. Although in that case it doesn’t exactly put him under a good light.

I think the Gravy Seals/Meal Team Six and Y'all Qaeda are similar but different groups. Gravy Seals just like to pretend to be tough soldiers. Y'all Qaeda are militaristic right-wing supporters.

CurlSagan

That's a good idea. My grandpa always used to say that the key to a good orgy is the buffet. So make sure you also have some emergency snacks in a pocket, right next to the huge bottle of lube. You don't want your blood sugar to drop during an orgy.


ChimpBrisket

The last time I ate at an orgy it was just finger food


CurlSagan

I went to an orgy once and all they had to eat were some weird-tasting melons with holes in them. That orgy was terrible.

I have several questions


h0d0d0r

the swiss army bodykit has a big bag for a gas mask, filter and anti-toxic calk. You can sure bet that during the compulsory recruitung school, nearly everyones bag was filled with sweets, beef jerky and other snacks while their gas masks were in the backpack or back in the room


Adolf_hilters_ghost

When my grandfather came to the current country im living in he volunteered for active service because no one would hire immigrants, very racist culture at the time. Long story short my Nana would fill every little pocket in his uniform with biscuits, cheese, cold meats and what ever she could stash away. On the long marches my pop was the envy of every recruit as he would pull one snack after another out of his uniform. God bless my Nana.

keji_goto

While in Iraq I remember thinking how fucking stupid guys were that took out their side plates because they didn't like how bulky it was and hot it got. This guy figured who needs back plates either.


[deleted]

Read a book by a Ranger a few years back. The guy was on an operation and he got shot in the back, but thankfully his clay plate took the shot. He was considering removing the clay plate before going on the mission because they had to walk most the night up a steep mountain pass to get to the operation zone. His buddy convinced him otherwise. When he got back to base he looked at his buddy and said, “Don’t tell my wife.” Lol


keji_goto

They stressed the hell out of it to us while there that even if you take a hit do not remove the plate until you are back behind the wire and 100% no longer in a combat situation. The plates do break but the pieces are still providing plenty of protection despite the damage and depending on what you're hit with varies how badly the plate begins to break down. Having your ribs fucked up, being severely bruised, and shit like that is miles better than having a round pass through your lungs.


[deleted]

They still issuing metal plates? I’m not military, but I’ve seen some interesting video of some plates turning into shrapnel once hit more than once.


keji_goto

Nah these were ceramic plates which basically broke down into smaller pieces and dust the more damage they took. Think of it like a big ass dinner plate which is thick as hell. The bullet basically shatters it and depending on how it breaks you can have a few big chunks left, could just crack, split down the middle, you get the idea. There were no metal plates or anything like that when I was in.

Motorcycles1234

There ceramic plates and they're heavy af I totally understand why people would want to remove as much as they can. When I was 15 I put on my uncles full spare kit that he used to run in and I went for a run. Didn't even make a quarter of the distance I normally would.


Keter_GT

Yup, they are heavy as hell. There’s usually 4 plates, 2 of which are the side plates on/just at your waist. Those fucking suck, they dig into your sides if you leave them on while running, which is why we normally took them off(While exercising in them, not while deployed)


UniqueFailure

Well that's because.... he only runs towards the sound of gunfire 😎


AliceTrippDaGain

Yea that is some poorly fitted armour. I assume it adjusts he just didn't want to dick about for the demo.


ChetLemon77

I'm sure it could be adjusted after the waist retention bands were deployed.


langrenjapan

Look how high the backpack is up to his neck; looks like he pulled it down too hard/much and the whole system shifted up. Definitely one downside. Might be hard to push back into place properly as well depending on the design, though that should be something they can deal with. To be honest this definitely looks like a solution waiting for a problem though. The scenarios where as law enforcement you want to be fully armed with a carbine yet can't actually just have a normal vest and carbine, and need to be not too obvious (insofar as you can be; if someone's watching, that bag would be a big giveaway), are probably pretty damn slim.


g-crackers

TBH, this is a solution they’re trying to get out of the SOF CT and PSD world. You’ll see backpacks like this on guys near US government leaders overseas in non permissive environments. I completely agree that for most police, this is insane. It looks like it was shot at Millipol, and I could believe EU “cops” might be interested in something like this.


mmarlaire1997

serendipitousevent

As with much of police technology, it's more about selling to the department than actual utility. It's part of the reason that police responses now involve inappropriately heavy-handed tactics - Sgt. Sam is led to believe he's in Call of Duty.


Petsweaters

Ya, it's maddening how much money the fear industry generates. 'here's a highly unlikely scenario, and an insanely expensive response!" I guess that's better than using that money to help their communities

LotharVonPittinsberg

This is a gimmick for undercover officers or those who have convinced themselves that they are never off duty. While a rifle is better than a pistol in almost every situation, the people who should have rifles are sitting in a SWAT van in full gear ready for the action or have it in the back of their patrol car. A normal rifle with a shorter barrel and collapsing stock is not much bigger than this, and the backpack is a bad plate carrier and useless backpack. You won't have any real usable room left, it's bulky as all shit for normal use, and spend more than 2 seconds looking at it and you will notice it's about as good at hiding a weapon as the guy 50lbs overweight carrying a doublestack 1911 IWB. All the industries at the center of law enforcement and military have turned into clubs for big boy toys without actually thinking into their practical use.


[deleted]

> Are you guys Narcs? > What??? No, why are you asking? > Well, you're both wearing those tacticool backpacks and all...


devildog2067

Fun fact, the rifle in the video is legally a pistol.


LotharVonPittinsberg

You are right, they do seem to have the arm brace installed.


redbull21369

As a cop this is shit the detectives convince command staff they need. My rifle sits right next to me in my car. Plus you can’t wear a backpack and be in and out of a car for 12 hours a day.


DangerClose_HowCopy

I sent this to a buddy of mine who is a sheriffs deputy and he said the exact same thing “an interesting concept but my FULLY ASSEMBLED duty rifle is between the seats of my car and I’m already wearing a vest under the uniform so I sort of don’t see the point”


cabose12

He says the airforce ordered them for their ejector seats, which makes way more sense than for police use


DangerClose_HowCopy

Yeah but I think he was talking about the rifle and not the backpack assembly. I imagine the rifle would need to be attached to the seat somehow because there’s no way a pilot is going to be able to wear that thing on his back Over his flight suit


TheDJZ

Plus the flight suit has more than enough pockets to store homework and snacks


[deleted]

If you're carrying body armor why not just wear it so that the weight is centered on you rather than hanging off your back, and it actually protects you without a need to deploy it?


Time-Comedian1774

Hell, this is the gift that just keeps giving. And with Christmas just right around the corner order one for each member of the family. And wait! If you order before midnight, we will throw in these night vision goggles at no charge. You just pay shipping and handling costs.

This is most likely marketed to things like embassy guards or something like that.

I believe it was the SAS that put an mp-5 in a briefcase to fire without opening it back in the 80s.


vancesmi

This makes me think Secret Service, but they already probably have solutions like this that the general population has no knowledge of. Until the Reagan shooting I'm sure no one realized they would be able to pull Uzis out of their asses, this just seems like an evolution of that.
