    USP Gear & Uniforms

    Hi USP team - made account just to chime in something really really simple. I've noticed a lot of Arma 3 mods making this little mistake and I thought I'd just volunteer a suggestion, I understand if there's a reason for certain things but here I go anyway. When putting magazines in a plate carrier vs a belt, the direction it is facing matters a lot; it determines how quickly you can draw a mag and what direction it is facing when you bring it up next to the weapon. Operators will usually either grab a magazine Index method (downward claw- 4 fingers on one side, thumb on the other, gripping the bottom of the mag almost like you'd pick up something gross) or Beer Can (imagine holding a beer can, you grab the mag so when it comes up it's held like that, bullets at the top, gripping the sides of the mag). This is easier to see in a video rather than typing so a quick youtube/google will make it clear if youre interested, but there's a point to what I am saying: Generally, guys will grab mags on the front of a plate carrier Index, so the curve of the mag should be pointing to their shooting arm. Mags on their belt (almost always stored on their non-dominant side) they grab Beer Can, so the curve of the mag should point away from their shooting arm. I've noticed some USP plate carrier images with mag pouches have the mags pointing the wrong way, which would make reloading quickly very difficult. Do some googling of dudes rocking STANAG/PMAGs in a PC, you'll pick up on what I mean. Not trying at all to be patronizing! I'm sure you already know what I'm talking about and maybe the mod is just in early stage. Just want to help/educate if I can. 🙂 Thanks!
