ATACS JPC? Interesting.
It’s not Crye JPC. It was ripped off here in Poland when one unit requested this kind of lightweight plate carrier. There are some slight differences in construction but in general, it’s rip off.
It’s local copy of crye jpc
Anyone that frequents militaryphotos.net has known this for months.
back to the airsoft field with you! back!
What about my comment tells you I play airsoft?
“frequents militaryphotos.net”
besides you frequenting militaryphotos.net and your question that wasn’t a firm denial?
Probably the fact that you’re fighting the urge to correct him and call it MILSIM.
Hey FOB and Mike, you guys are worse than anyone that you put down due to the fact that you love feeling superior to others by bashing them. Why do you come to this site? How is it any different than Mp.net? No I don’t play airsoft or any variant. Go troll other sites and pounce on anyone that asks a kit question so you can feel better than them.
I come to this site for information about gear. It’s the industry I’m in and it’s beneficial to my job. My job is to help people with kit questions and I don’t give them a hard time. You didn’t ask a gear question, though.
For someone who thinks I “love feeling superior” you sure showed up quick to knock the Admin by saying “Anyone that frequents militaryphotos.net has known this for months.”
You seem to be projecting your need for superiority on others.
Is it beneficial to your job to bash airsofters here and surplus store troll with your buddies since they probably buy many of your products? Sounds like you gave them a hard time. Your few other comments I’ve seen don’t seem like your being helpful as much as you are trying to sound intelligent and show off your psychology degree. The reason I originally commented was because I was surprised this was news to people. You as much as anyone should appreciate that there are many reasons people buy gear.
Quit being a cocknozzle
Who cares if somebody likes airsoft or not? who made you the fucking arbiter of whats cool or not?
You sure abouut those pics? These are from Noble Sword 2014 FTX.
Unless U.S. Army Special Operations Command is posting bogus photos, I’m fairly certain its legit. (caveat, unless the Public Affairs folks are totally lost, which can does, and has happened)

It was JWK’s C Combat Team that was on-hand for Noble Sword-14, this is the A Combat Team (hence the “Miotla” patch on the shoulder of the soldier on the right).
atacs fg is used by an a sf unit that means i have to get it to be an operator !!
http://jarmix-militaria.pl/p/73/9403/redriver-kamizelka-plate-carrier-multicam-kamizelki-taktyczne-wyposazenie-taktyczne.html – “RedRiver – Plate Carrier Vest – Multicam” by Polish brand RedRiver. 589 PLN = about 180$. There are few diffrences comparing to Crye Precision JPC. ATACS-FG was firstival made only for JWK Special Unit and will be avaible for civilian sell also (but later).
RED RIVER sells the JPC (well, the Plate-Carrier Mod. 1 technically) in A-TACS, and has been selling it well even before JWK ordered them in this color (they were previously wearing a MultiCam one over their A-TACS uniforms).
What sidearm do the Polish SOF units carry? I can’t tell from the angle what the guy on the left has in his holster.
Looks to be the standard Polish sidearm, a WIST-94 pistol. Could be H&K, though; Polish forces use many guns, like their SOCOM counterparts do.
JWK uses the H&K USP SD (mostly), the standard USP and the GLOCK 17. All three in 9x19mm.
Am I the only one who appreciates ATACS for it’s proficiency in hiding dirt and stains?
Mainly HK USP to their own discontent. Formoza (Maritime SOF) uses Sig226 with some saltwater-proof coating, also there are Glocks 17 here and there but generally USP is the standard.
No, you are not the only one. I used it on an FTX as OPFOR and it worked exceedingly well in the Texas environment. You really couldn’t tell that it was dirty, IMO that’s a good sign for camo.
Guy on left has a rear BUIS but no front. What is up with that?
Looks like it might be flip up off the gasblock.
+1
Good eyes. On mobile and didn’t zoom enough. What rifle are they running?
Should have finished my statement before someone spins up on me. I can see it is an AR variant. The rear BUIS looks to be a HK drum but I don’t think that is a 416. Just haven’t seen that gas block / front sight combo before.
I think it is the 416 with a Magpul stock.
JWK runs the HK416 in 14.5″ versions.
Still wondering what environment fg works in I haven’t seen a place yet personally
It worked great for the Rebel Alliance on the forest moon of Endor.
You win the Internet.
Funny, was talking to the Polish guy in my class about his multicam uniform and he mentioned that their SOF started wearing it and it was soo cool now everyone has it and its like meh.
I always liked the look of atacs. Au or fg. The atacs guys at SHOT were friedly enough. I’m glad someone is using their pattern. Airsoft or not.
These guys are real.
Wasn’t suggesting they weren’t real. Just seems to be some hate to anything not multicam. Everything else gets lumped into the airsoft crowd
Dont play airsoft myself but sometimes watch it myself on youtube. Someone remind me again why everyone hates airsoft?
I don’t think people hate airsoft.
I think that people, especially people who have seen intense hardship and lost people close to them, intensely dislike children “playing” war and talking about their sick killz and kosher DEVCAGPARAMSRTALPHAGROMKSK kits and how NO ONE COOL WOULD EVER DO THAT or THAT IS NOT WHAT DEVGRU DOES (as if they would know).
I’ve personally witnessed a 13 year old tell a Team guy that a carrier was not correct for a SEAL, after the guy jokingly asked about whether the carrier was right for his SEAL-impression, and in a very rude and dismissive manner. He then ran to tell him friends in the next room how this herb didn’t even know what SEALs wear. I thought the guy was going to smash the display case he was standing next to.
The problem with airsoft has always been, and always will be, airsofters.
I’ve always liked ATACS. Never understood why they weren’t part of the Camo Improvement Program. Then again it wouldn’t have made a bit of difference.
It’s good to see that all that military assistance funding we’re giving them is being put to good use (sarcasm).
In the mean time, USASFC won’t let Group have 416’s and we have to use our MFP-11 if we want OPS CORE FAST Helmets.
You guys have to use MFP-11?! It just got put in SPEARS for us. After two damn years of helmet failures. Is USASOC not following WARCOM in approving the FAST for you guys?
USASFC is not entertaining anything that “Service Common ” satisfy. Case in point;
MK-11; Gone because the M1110 is free
MK-16: Gone (not a big heart break) because the M4 is free
MK-13; Gone because the XM2010 is free
And I’ve even heard rumblings of dropping MICH for ACH, and PCU for service common as well.
So, I presume that you’re with WARCOM, hence why you’re getting the Maritime FAST issued. Yeah, we tried to buy off your contract and you all acted like a spoiled kid who didn’t want to share his ball. You also can get swimmer cut stand alone plates etc. So, we either buy it, or when we can, acquire it by other means
Active Duty ARSOF were issued Maritime FAST. But, they’ve also transitioned to ACH instead of MICH. It’s mainly used by support guys though.
There was a period of time where PCU was stopped due to ECWCS Gen III but it’s back on again.
and what does this camo do that others wont?
the gucciflage trend needs to die
Its green, they’re in Poland. ATACS-FG has been around for a little while now; it’s not a brand new pattern. I imagine it was fairly easy to source, too.
Most of the alternate cammo patterns now were developed for the CIE. If that had worked out like it was expected to instead of the mess it became, its pretty obvious why the development money was spent. That contract would have been a VERY big deal.
I think that ATACs-FG, is my favorite current camo pattern, and 2d, maybe even 3rd favorite behind “Ad visor” VN Tigerstripe and then the ERDL camo.
I think it works well, and used the Tigerstripe AND ATACS-FG both, with pretty good results in Afghanistan.
I just wish more people made GEAR in the ATACS-FG. Have a Ares Armor “E&E” bag that I/we used primarily for a LZ/PZ type marking kit bag. Worked GREAT, just could have used 1 or more pouches, and (at least at the time) no one was making anything 🙁
