  6. QUESTION: I was born with a heart condition that required getting basically a quark in 1 of the bloodvestles long story short dr said if I were to be hit in the chest hard enough I would die because the quark would shake lose. So I would assume that even with body armor on if I were to take a shot to the torso I would still die. So with that said am I wrong or right in my thinking that a plate carrier for me is pointless ide be better of with just a simple chest rig?anyone with experience and knowledge on this topic your expertise would be greatly appreciated

  9. So… Here's a dummy nub question I didn't really ever think about. Why is a vis laser frowned but it laser use ok?🤷🏽‍♂️ Serious question

  12. As an electrician your “electricity is magic” comment had me dying 😂😂 a common phrase is I’m an electrician not a magician but sometimes you gotta be both haha love your videos!!

  15. No one does it like Lucas he has all the bad ass set ups for the range the IR lighting on the range if you can learn a lot by watching how he does things not saying you have to spent all that money but he breaks it all down for you I bin watching his videos for years 👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪

  18. One day show us how invisible nvgs make you. You and your team do great showing us you in the dark shooting. Show us by not showing us how invisible nvgs do or don't make you.

  19. Lucas your videos are great, and you are a great master tshooter, but can you also
    make videos that focus on less equip to shoot for ex: drawing and shooting from
    inside the wasteband holster with no high tech stuff, and drawing and shooting
    with a handgun from the pocket, is a more realistic scenario.

  22. I was blessed to have a friend find me a gently used blemless Elbit Gen 3 thin filmed green phos PVS-14 for $1950 shipped. Low Light Innovations makes a terrific "white" filter that essentially mimics white phos in appearance with limited light transmission loss for only $25. To save money on the mount, he suggested an "Evolution Gear L4G24 NVG Mount Perfect Replica" for only $85 shipped instead of the $465 for the real one, and the quality is phenomenal. I also picked up a used Wilcox AN/PVS-14 Arm for $150 shipped down from the original $229 price. Botach has a Longfri Level IIIA ballistic helmet for only $199 that is around 3 pounds, good quality for the price and there are lots of ballistic test videos on them. I also went with the FCS AMP Headset that is a fully functioning Replica of the Ops Core AMP for only $175 shipped down from $999 for the real one. I plan on running a Disco 32 PTT with them to get my Comms squared away. Although all of this stuff is still expensive, there are ways of making NVGs and Comms realistically affordable instead of an unobtainable pipe dream. I highly encourage yourself and others to do the same. I was able to have just as functional of a setup for a little more than $2,500 that would have been $7,500+ if I had gone "Gucci" on everything.

  29. Why does no one zero IR lasers using the daytime training filter on a PVS-14? That gets super close in my experience. Then if you need to dial slightly at night, you're only a few rounds from perfect.

  30. you are a phenomenal shooter the fact that people criticize you is a laughing matter people are praised in there jobs there careers there hobbies for being more than exceptional and yet you are denounced or excluded for following your path and doing what is right. keep crushing it Lucas… this world needs you.
