Police discharge vests – such a system should be combined with other elements of equipment, such as a satchel or backpack. Such systems are convenient in places with hot climates, as the “bra” has good ventilation and closes a small part of the body. The disadvantage – the fact that the bulk of portable equipment is in front, and the whole burden falls on the shoulder straps.
“Tarzan” M-22
More complex systems are executed as a waistcoat, but with a simplified design of the back, with a sidewall vest connected by a belt drive system. For example, “Tarzan” M-22. Adjustment is made on the back and sides, therefore you can adjust the vest from the 46 th to 68 th in size and in height from 164 cm to 200 cm vest can accommodate 8 shops AK or RPK 4 shops, 4 hand grenades, three flares, or 2 missiles and a lantern, a pharmacy, two pockets for documents, two cartridge pouch for additional equipment 140h 100×30 mm.
Almost all the equipment in police discharge vests, weapons and ammunition must be easily stored, preferably so that they can be extracted quickly and without any problems. Given the richness of modern riot gear, it is quite a difficult task, for which decision and has developed handling vests. The first such vests put pilots who crash when leaving the aircraft had to carry on his emergency equipment to survive. In high-speed aircraft is solved by embedding itself in the NAZ ejection system, and for those aircraft, where it was not, for example, transport aircraft and helicopters, NAZ located on vests. Later, in such a way have become and ammunition.
“Bra” can be worn in different ways.
Now unloading vest – an indispensable accessory special operations and local conflicts. Unloading vests vary greatly in their design depending on the task. One case of a saboteur, spy equipment and another to conduct anti terrorist operations. Hence the variety of existing models and even a variety of policy approaches. Two basic types of layout – this in the form of a vest, hence, in fact, the name, and in the form of unloading system. There are intermediate models, the so-called “bra”. This is a bib, which houses the ammunition and various additional equipment. According to rumors, these products first appeared in Vietnam, where they played both the role of uniforms and body armor. The fact that a double row of shops AK-47, which consisted in service Vietnamese, not filtered by a bullet. The reason is that the store was an AK-47 steel.
Therefore, four layers of hardened steel, plus four layers cartridges provide a good defense. Given the small increase in Vietnamese, the stores covered practically most of the vital organs. In addition, in the tropics use a normal bullet-proof vest is quite difficult. The Americans, however, were obviously – very much like to live. Therefore the “bra” was convenient not only as an outfit, but also as a means of body armor. Developers bullet-proof vests were joking that the Kalashnikov has developed not only the best in the world machine, but the easiest body armor. However, after the appearance of plastic shopping protective properties have dropped significantly, but now the use of shopping as a passive reservation has not lost its relevance. The presence of shops on the chest simplified reloading weapons.
Classic “bra”
Classic “bra” – it is self-regulating system, as worn on two intersecting belts, which themselves occupy a position. Adjust the only remains of their length. By pluses include the fact that the “bra” is easy to put on and also easy to reset, which is very important because in some situations, such as injury, it is important to rapidly get rid of the combat system.
Classic “bra” domestic production “Pioneer” M-23. It is governed by the growth of 4b-th to 68 th in size. This uneven sizes rather superfluous for police discharge vests, since people have different dimensions, in addition, must take into account the presence of warm clothing or body armor. Therefore, adjustment of 1-2 size is useful even when using equipment by the same person. A classic set of ammunition – a double load. This approach – the result of actual combat, when the availability of ammunition is an extra chance to survive. Therefore, the “Pioneer” is 8 shops AK 2 in each of the four pockets. Or 4 shops from PKK-10. These pockets, occupy the central part of the system and are equipped with long flaps with Velcro. The grenades VOG-25 (standard ammunition) are available in six pockets, three on each side. Two pockets are made under two grenades and one single. In each of the pockets placed grenades RGO or RGN. (These garnets have a very solid primer, so if you fit in the pocket, this grenade, the fit and the F-1 and RGD-5). Pomegranate pouches equipped with pocket under the fuses, as well as a cord with carabiner for throwing grenades with one hand. On the shoulder strap is a pocket under the IPP (individual dressing packet). On the side of the pocket under the shop is fixing blades. Typically, attachment is designed for standard bayonet. In addition, there is space for mounting the three firebombs.
