Night Ops

Lynx

I'm sure that oppers will do their best to avoid crowds in the first place.

The prospect of a blinding laser is very interesting. Perhaps we can get our hands on one that it a tad less powerful, for less nefarious purposes?

Lynx

I'll keep this in mind the next time I B&E my local masonic lodge.

Tails does fine. It's not exactly reliable, not even close, but it adds another layer of protection. Unless you have a persistent volume set up, it becomes a pain in the ass. RAM wiping is unreliable. Nothing is fully secure, there's always a hole here and there. Any mediocre forensic investigation ...

There's always a variety of UrbanEx sites.

I'd love to see Crye start selling a combat shirt and pants in multicam black. So far there are only two companies I know of that are selling the stuff. Beyond that? I could always use more lockpicks, but I haven't been practicing enough lately to make it worthwhile. Since this is a "dream gear" th...

I'm pretty sure you would benefit from panoramic night vision goggles, super-advanced-12,000$ thermal binoculars and an exoskeleton suit.

Lynx

A large multitool is an absolute must to have with you. Wire cutters, pliers, knife, screwdriver, file, saw. All in one. I recommend any Leatherman multitool - best quality. They cost a bit, though... but you get what you pay for. http://i.imgur.com/21nVd24.png The Leatherman OHT. It's what I want f...

Title says it all. What's your dream gear? How much would it cost? Pics pls?

Rules: Has to exist.

Here's my gear. I own everything. Get on my level.

Lynx

Is that an Aitor Oso Negro that I see in the lower left side of the tree?

Lynx

Goggles are only useful if you plan to operate in the middle of a sandstorm. They aren't worth it. NVG's (bi or mono) cost more than we can afford. NVG's that are worth it, that is. Gen 0-1 and pretty useless. Gen 2 and up are highly expensive, and are waaay beyond most of our budgets. If you want t...

Easier to buy.

Paintball stores. Online paintball stores. That's where the good stuff is.

Local superstition is no match for a sound mind. Unless the Crow from Ong Bak 2 & 3 drops from the sky and kicks you through a wall, you've got nothing to worry about. Any apparitions you think you might see are just your own imaginings. Since when does Ghost look like Crow? He's a total waifu, I c...

'Disguises' are not recommended for Night Ops; the whole point is not to be seen at all. Is there any way to distract the guard maybe and slip past while he's not looking at the monitors? 250 pound IED makes for great distractions. And if placed close enough, it may shatter the monitors. If you don...

Lynx

The GPS would probably be a con; the other reason we don't recommend taking phones on ops is that they record your position. If the authorities have a look at your digital record, they'll know when & where you've been. If there's somehow a way to modify one of these to only display relevant informa...

Lynx

Google Glass. What would be the practical applications of it for an op? From the top of my head, all I can think of is: http://www.officialpsds.com/images/thumbs/Google-Glass-psd97322.png Pros: 1. Hands-free communication device. 2. 3D visualization and route planning using Google Maps. 3. GPS. 4. ...

Lynx

Hmmmm... shit. Go in fast, wear a disguise and cover any identifying features. Cameras are pretty hard to deal with if they are monitored, as specially if the area is well lit. Covering the cameras always works, but I guess that isn't an option. What is the objective, if I may? Is there lots of cove...

Lynx

Become the thing that goes bump in the night.

Lynx

Well, you could bring your nighty nighty light with you, if you want.

Lynx

Hmmm... that sucks. I have similar problems.

You don't happen to have a friend who you can stay overnight with? That's the only way i get to do big ops nowadays.

Making sure someone doesn't want to attack you again.

Lynx

Quick, on-the-spot self defence? Basically anything; most self defence disciplines are designed to deal with surprise attacks. Just remember that in a self defence situation, you don't want to deal "as much damage as possible", you want to deal enough damage for you to run away. Not self defense. F...

Lynx

Reviving this thread, I'd like to continue the discussion. Which martial art, or blend of, is best suited for rapid reaction and the production of maximum destructive force during the shortest amount of time? I'd say the conditioning and philosophy of Kyokushin karate and the technique and hand spee...

Hmmm, problem is, even if you run away, you have been spotted, which means that they probably remember what you look like. You'd have to buy/nig completely new gear to continue opping. If you don't, there's a chance that they can spot a pattern in your operations. Many people reporting the same dude...

Lynx

I got an amazing BDU jacket for 30$.
Lots of pockets, well made, black. How can a simple softshell cost 190$?

Lynx

I found that fingerless leather gloves are perfect for casual ops. There's always the disadvantage of your fingers being exposed, but if you need to hide your hands just make a fist, your hand should be fully covered. Having expensive gloves with me to do some light climbing and crawling is sort of ...

Lynx

Hmmm, i should contribute. I have a nice night sky full of stars and a roof to climb.

Been using a backpack with dumbbells inside, and weighted pistol squats.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma here. Lately I've been doing bodyweight only. Pullup variations - one day pullups, one day chinups, one day random variation, one day weighted chins/pullups and so on. I have noticed some good strength gains. Started doing every variation of pullup you can imagine. I have b...

Well, I can't find it. He only has two posts here on the site, so I'm thinking his story must be from 2005/2006 or so. I don't remember enough details to do his story justice, but I'll paraphrase just so you guys get the idea. This one takes the cake in my book as "most hardcore opping encounter". ...

This thread has been dead since 2012, so once again, sorry for the necro. I found nightops.net through /asp/ on 4chan. The thread was "Urban Exploration Stories" or something in that matter. They provided links to many different sites, one of the was this place. /asp/ seemed to be one of the only bo...

Lynx

Sorry for necro, but what about torchat?
It's nice and quick, and very secure and pretty and nice and shiny.

Xana wrote these, but conveniently placed them all over the forums.
I put them into one PDF file for easy reading on mobile devices.

Senpapi please no, not in public! I-i-It's too big!

Happy Valentines day, nonet.

This would probably make good protection from leg kicks.
Other than that, no other use.

Lynx

In my experience, belts are typically the least cumbersome option, unless you are carrying large amounts of gear. For those not used to wearing a vest or plate carrier, you'll notice it snag a good bit, as well as feeling unnatural and restrictive. Hmmm, then i should get a better belt. It's a plai...

I and many others on this site buy military stuff all the time, there's nothing suspicious about it. The vendors will probably think you're using it for camping, paintball, airsoft or a photo shoot - anything but crime. The police won't care either; it's perfectly legal to own anything military tha...

Currently, i have some leather fingerless gloves, a paper thin black hoodie (no warmth whatsoever) and a pair of black sweatpants. Well, It's pretty shitty, no pockets at all, so i have to have a belt around my waist with my multitool (Gerber, sorry). I also have a headlight, a dark blue beanie, bla...

Middle yard wall is barely 3 meters, outer wall is a good 10-11 meters.
It's tall, but dark.

Lynx

Sorry, didn't have access to PC for a while. To climb the school, you need to get to the center of the yard. It's fairly easy, there's a dark litte path next to a swimming complex nearby, not many people look other than 1AM joggers (AkA assholes). The walls on the building are smooth brick with shod...

So far nobody's settled on the perfect solution for dealing with dogs; the best thing you can do is mask your scent and keep your distance. They can smell you better in wet weather and if the wind is blowing in their direction. This is why I never wash my gear; I like to keep that 'earthy' smell ab...

Lynx

Hm, I'll go out as late as possible to make sure that nobody is there. By the way, on the road near the park (park is close to school), people walk dogs a lot. Even if i hide in a extremely dark pocket of darkness in the darkest part of a dark shadow near the road, the bloody K9 will sniff my ass ou...

I'm going to climb the roof of a school as an op. Problem is, there's lamps everywhere. Every access point is extremely well-lit. The roof is pitch dark, nobody would see me there, but the entire school yard is really well lit. The entire village is, well lit. Walking through the streets in full gea...
