Here are some most commonly asked questions about tactical gear:
Can civilians buy tactical gear?
Yes, civilians can buy tactical gear for any reason they choose where local laws allow it. Tactical gear can be very useful in home defense, practical use when in the outdoors for survival gear, and even in shooting sports. There are many reasons beyond costumes that civilians may want to own and use tactical gear in their day-to-day lives.
What is the purpose of tactical gear?
Tactical gear is clothing and equipment that is purpose built for protective or defensive tasks. Tactical features on otherwise everyday items such as backpacks, duffles, shirts, pants, headwear, belts and shoes, add functionality and durability needed for these tasks. Tactical functionality, such as pants adding magazine pockets or bags that have PALS/MOLLE attachment points for additional pouches, should be trained with so their usage becomes a part of your routine.
Can you wear tactical gear in public?
Civilians can wear tactical gear in public in accordance with local laws in the United States. However, many people feel that the use of tactical gear in otherwise civilian environments gives away the training and awareness you have for dealing with tactical situations. This may identify the person wearing tactical clothing as a potential target. More and more people are opting for less overt tactical gear and clothing to have more of a ‘grey man’ appearance.
What is considered tactical gear?
Tactical gear is anything that a person may wear or carry that will aid them in the carrying out of defensive or protective tactics against an impending threat. Tactical gear is purpose built product used as part of a person’s everyday carry or a part of their clothing with special features integrated which aid in typical tactical concepts such as concealment, range of movement, weapon concealment and accommodation, and durability.
sashwammyvoid !!!! with alcohol marker and fineliners in my sketchbook :D i'm so so pleased w how this turned out n i had so much fun drawing all the little details
>This is NOT the actual cos. This is some of my all black set. I was told it looks like him so why not post ja? The helmet is also a little project, not the actual helmet to the gear / cos.
🦐 Creator Note: When I designed Nak, I took into account that Activision often used actual gear for their operators, in turn I did the same :D
The Components Beforehand
PLATE CARRIER
VISM Discreet Plate Carrier by NcSTAR
This specific plate carrier is simplistic, I felt that if her gear looked too detail heavy it would be difficult to draw, plus make her design look clustered
CHEST RIG
Barska VX-400 Tactical Chest Rig
I chose this one because of the ridges on the straps! They remind me of scales so they fit with her Serpent look :D
ARM STRAPS
T3 Tactical Armband
These are put usually on the forearms! Nak uses them for her upper arms though. One arm is for maps, one arm is for Indentification like her blood type, occupation, handler info etc.
CLOTHING
Propper CWU 27/P Nomex Flight Suit
Nak wears a flight suit for comfort! Hidden pockets are also a big plus. I felt that if she wore a flight suit, it would be a good way for me to stay consistent with her design since it's very reliable!
HOLSTER
Rothco Deluxe Leg Strap Adjustable Tactical Holster
On the occasion Nak doesn’t have access to the FN SCAR (her baby) she uses a Glock 19X, being the type to prefer heavy or “luxury” weapons
GLOVES
Giro LA DND Biker Gloves
They have reinforced fingertips! So she’s able to use touchscreen items :3
KNEEPADS
Blackhawk Advanced Tactical Knee Pads V2
Because of her upbringing, Nak’s Legs are the strongest parts of her body, so she takes extra caution in making sure nothing happens to them!
FOOTWEAR
Rothco G.I. Type Sierra Sole Tactical Boots
She chose these because she thinks they’re stylish “Aren’t they cute?”
UNDER ARMOUR
in order; VISM Strike Face Ballistic Plate, DAS Leben Protective Arm Sleeves Guard Bracer, KEZZELED Welding Neck Protector
Because of her learned paranoid personality, she wears arm guards and a neck protector under her flight suit as a precaution. The ballistic plate comes with her plate carrier :)
CUSTOMIZATION
Her bandana is just a green cloth she bleached to make a snake pattern.
Being in Chimera, a lot of the operators have patches of their unit! Nak usually puts hers on her holster, but it’s bound to move around on her gear.
The serpent fangs markings on her plate carrier are in reference to Naga, a custom Patch that’s removable as well :3
Archie doodles from the past week, including him sitting in his cockpit before flight and a little study sesh with his favourite study buddy - Vader 🥰🐈⬛
Also fun fact, the colours in the first pic are based off of the song cover of ‘Girl$’ by Dom Dolla 😂
How did you study about military gear? I'm currently trying & searching sources and looking for some tips.
I really like your work btw. Keep going✨️
Hi! Thank you so much, I'm excited to share some knowledge with someone. <3
I tried summing up methods that have helped me the most:
1. lots of research (vids, blogs, magazines, loadout lists,...)
2. store/product photos
3. military photos (not airsoft!)
4. damtoy loadout showcase vids
I first started off with doing extensive research on cod operators. Cosplay guides by shadeops21 (DeviantArt) are a huge help with the most accurate loadout lists.
Next step was looking up product photos & studying the functions, shapes, different angles. Store/product photos are my most used refs, they're in high resolution & you'll see every detail thanks to a well lit environment. I also collect military pics in one huge folder, not only for pose refs & inspo, but also as refs on how the gear is used. Product photos will lay flat, worn gear will always look different!
Make sure to learn how to differentiate airsoft from real military pics, airsofters (except for dedicated reenactors/milsimers) tend to have wacky tastes (ugly, black amazon gear and fake, glowing NVGs,...).
The gear of Damtoys is incredibly accurate & precise, watching videos of the dolls being dressed will also give you an idea on how accs (pouches, glow sticks, radio systems, ...) are attached to the equipment.
My strongest interests lay in SOF, so I'll also collect magazines with expert info, insights & loadout descriptions (K-ISOM (German) SPECIAL OPS (Polish)).
To my advantage, I do have friends who are either huge military nerds or in active duty, I'll sometimes ask them questions and learn about the features and (dis)advantages of various pieces of gear. It's a life hack, but you'll achieve your goal either way if you're determined!
After you got a feel for the basics, you can start accommodating knowledge.
Study drawing/recognizing the most used equipment first, western modern kits are very repetitive (as the products are so good, they don't need to be replaced).
Headsets: 3M Peltor ComTac, Sordin, Ops-Core AMP
Helmets: Ops-Core, Crye AirFrame, Team Wendy, MICH 2000
Plate carriers: Crye JPC, Crye AVS, First Spear, Lindnerhof, AGILITE, LBT Slick & 6094
Gloves: Oakleys, PIG FDT Alpha, Mechanix, Petzl, Nomex flight gloves, Outdoor Research Ironsight
After that you can start looking up more niche or less iconic brands and gear, you'll be a nerd in no time.
I hope this is helpful and I'm sorry for the late reply. If you ever need help or info on something, feel free to dm me on Twitter or Tumblr!
