Marine Corps - Improved Modular Tactical Vest (IMTV) Training Video

[@steved3413]

I think the groin protector is a good idea might save your nuts.

[@kellyoxo2818]

You can thank Vietnam veterans for that idea.

[@kilo393]

Yep, been saving nuts since the beginning of the iraq war.

[@CheaplyAnimatedLenin]

Yeah, your eagle and globes.

[@TheSwedishAssassin]

"Mobility?! PFT!!!"

[@berner]

I'm not in the American military, hell I was a recruit in the Canadian military before my knee blew out, but despite this vest looking cool, I couldn't imagine wearing it. But then again, we wear body armor AND a tac vest on top of it.

[@BloodyKnives66]

Hated that vest when I was in! When I got issued a plate carrier also I only ever used it.

[@sbulifeornolife]

maybe they can make some kevlar cover all as an uniform for protection

[@Totemparadox]

That would bankrupt the armed forces :D

[@CJLAKE123]

jesse chien They already do. Go do some research aka Google it.

[@tylerdurden1923]

Thats for bomb defusal teams but they die if it explodes so its a waste. Send swats with that suit just to spook criminals.

[@kilo393]

That would be hot and heavy. You also have to consider that it will probably restrict movement. They actually tried doing that for regular troops to wear in the field, but no one is going to wear that. Lol

[@munrosteel2443]

jesse chien plate carriers can provide protection from 5.56 and 7.62 but Kevlar vest can’t since they’re soft body armor

[@KingRaptorize]

Why does each military branch have its own personal armor system? I wonder which armor system has superior protection.

[@RoundenBrown]

Not that long ago, they all used the same vest (IBA in 2000s, PASGT in 1990s).

[@thisiconisactuallygoofysfa9960]

They’ve all got their differences and similarities. And the reason they have different systems if based on their jobs. The new navy plate carrier is smaller and offers a lower profile because they aren’t gonna be facing ground combat anytime soon. Hope this helps

[@tockblade]

Each branch has different missions and therefore different gear requirements

[@blah979]

Looks over complicated, but I don't know a lot about this stuff. Nice video though, very interesting.

[@GodWasAnAlien]

Agreed, the armed services seem like they do that alot, IMO. Overcomplicated and ineffective. Funny, I think you can get better stuff nowadays as a private individual just mixing and matching up some gear on the market. I've never had to QC one of my armor plates by checking to see if it had crumbled overnight lmao.

[@CJLAKE123]

blah979 Hahaha if you think this “over complicated” then you’d have trouble at OCS or recruit training.

[@CJLAKE123]

Charles Murry It’s called being precautious. Typical inept civilians.

[@GodWasAnAlien]

I'll go ahead and add less than fully literate and wound tighter than a hummingbirds asshole to that list, since you asked so sweet. No one here made any claims about their ability to use said equipment jackass. Only that, in terms of some systems, it seems more complex than necessary. But I have that opinion of all QR carriers. Never got why a cable was needed, and it just seems haphazardous to me. Anyone or anything could snag that thing, then you're all kinds of f'ed up. its easy enough to rip velcro loose, IMO.

[@lordtark6736]

It's not. actually very easy to remove

[@xenomorphelv426]

does the IMTV been completely replaced by Plate carrier in USMC ?

[@syndicate4417]

Yes but it’s still used by SOME super POG units, and for training

[@JeezyLT7599]

This is the crappiest, most complex piece of gear I've ever been issued.

[@Fons1958]

Sometimes I wonder what idiot came up with this stone age crap...how can anyone move in this 16th century harness???

[@mrbakerskatz]

Fons negentienachtenvijftig You are a fool !

[@Fons1958]

And happy to be.

[@MrSolidjones]

whats the best in your opinion? im in the market

[@Direwoof]

At least it's better then the IOTV. One of me idiot friends pulled the quick release cable on one of my other friends vest and he had a hell of a time putting it back togethre.

[@evileddy9844]

This looks like it's heavy and too bulky.

[@TheMulticamfan]

This is none too different than the IOTV, just a few minor differences.

[@cody3362]

Ima be wearing this bulky pos in 2 years

[@kilo393]

I'll probably be wearing this thing later this year.

[@cody3362]

@@kilo393 cool

[@Greggs.Dioramas.Scalemodels]

Mef262728 Nobody uses this anymore, we use PC now.

[@jakevidro8822]

Can you buy this just not the plates

[@henryliu1046]

+Jake Vidro There's always some of these online at Ebay. You can also go to pointblank solutions and find your nearest store to buy one of these. But it'll cost a fortune

[@jakevidro8822]

Henry Liu cool thxz bro

[@BloodyKnives66]

Just get a plate carrier man

[@kennethpurboadji4081]

How do they carry grenades

[@s1ay3r31]

Kenneth Purboadji there r grenade pouches they use

[@cody3362]

How much do you know about the military, because not every marine and or soldier carries grenades on them, they're are special MOS for that

[@13namtiH13]

As a Ukrainian military I thank authors of this video, USMC and people of USA for they support. UA 🤝 USA

[@sanfranciscobay]

Looks like it's well made.

[@billpeirce7127]

Wear so u get these vest?

[@cody3362]

You can't, unless you're willing to join the military

[@kilo393]

@@cody3362 They'll actually come up occasionally on Ebay or sometimes you'll find them in surplus stores. There are also guys that found a way to keep theirs when they EAS.

[@msjswapnil]

Thanks for the video....................................... & THUMBS UP :D

[@auxlee72]

honestly,,, you know that the dragon skin is the best for marines....

[@pdzlatan]

+auxlee72 The project of Dragon skin vest was a failure during bulletproof vest test, rating of bulletproof vests to replace the old vests, because the Interceptor Armor vest takes advantage and fewer missed - May 2006.

[@pdzlatan]

+auxlee72 And in this video, the new bulletproof Improved Modular Tactical Vest looks better than a normal Interceptor Armor and also Dragon Skin

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Dragon skin was better but they threatened the contracts with other companies that were already negotiated so the DOD shut them down to keep them from bringing it up. They should have not rocked the boat and sold to citizen and LE only. Never run after a gov contract, let them come to you.

[@travisaurand7550]

I trusted my life to dragon skin 03 to 06. Everytime I discusse it I'm told it was crap. I'll never believe that I took two hits 7.62x39. not even a bruise. And was witness to far more severe abuse taken by others. That's my experience with dragon skin. Never made any sense something so amazing just disappears

[@BloodyKnives66]

It's all about money not protecting the lives of our brothers

[@marcushennings9513]

Most places only sells to law enforcement.

[@UnderCultures]

this looks cool

[@TheNaruto4356]

Why they don’t take the 5.11 tactec plate carrier, it’s only 200$, more confortable and reliable and have a better mobility

[@3OHATE]

WheatherGame ok we get it you played ghost recon wild lands

[@micahokelley5289]

Send me one please

Someone needs a shaving chit.

and you believe that too

[@sbulifeornolife]

looks cool but why do they sound so boring

[@philyfly358]

it's not meant for 5 year olds it meant to save your life on combat

[@9LineGaming]

This vest seems the same as the US Army's IBA. Shitty ass vest. Luckily the Army is going to be issued no gear and combat uniform. The modular vest, helmet and combat uniform. It's lightweight and adds a higher performance in mobility.

[@sabercruiser.7053]

👍👍 Thnx

[@electrowolf6260]

Why didn't they camouflage the vest?

[@smugbuster4021]

budget probably

[@oerothecookiemonster1519]

ElectroWolf I like it like that it looks really cool

[@timothydeleon5393]

It isn't camouflaged because US Marines wear 2 types of camos one being desert marpat and the other being woodland marpat. It would be much more difficult if there are 2 plate carriers for 2 different camouflage patterns. A Coyote Tan PC works best with both desert and woodland marpat.

[@sirpeaches5086]

desert marpat was actually disbanded recently

[@electrowolf6260]

Rusty Ethridge not really, I mean, they only use it if it's in a desert combat. But when they're at base, I guess, they wear the woodlands Marpat
