Swiss army chief Andre Blattmann warned, in a Swiss newspaper article on Sunday, the risks of social unrest in Europe are soaring. Recalling the experience of 1939/1945, Blattman fears the increasing aggression in public discourse is an explosively hazardous situation, and advises the Swiss people to arm themselves and warns that the basis for Swiss prosperity is "being called into question."

It doesn't take any training to pull the trigger on a shotgun or AK. Spray and pray.
Me too. That’s an important item. Right now, if I had to leave in a hurry, I’d have to leave some good stuff behind. A vest would minimize that loss. Any suggestions?
A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today’s military rejects include tomorrow’s unemployed.

No, I’ve only owned hunting vests. Looking for suggestions myself. :-)
I have a solution, STOP IMPORTING foreign & un-assimilated Muslims!
Europe doesn’t have the cultural skills or history to assimilate such a large group of people, particularity now when it is already overflowing with them.
There are too many people in Europe willing to bend over backwards to accommodate foreigners, rather than insist that they merge with the population adopt the local customs and culture such as is the cases with EVERY OTHER IMMIGRANT in the world.
When in Rome do as the Romans!
Only invaders refuses to assimilate, and Europe is by no means ever even pretended to be a land of immigrants. if you want to live in Europe learn and adopt the local customs, language, and culture. Work to blend in not stand out.
Here’s what I’m thinking, for what it’s worth: I can either get a cheap one (30-50), or not have one at all.
I also like the idea of being about to slip in ballistic plates, but looks like you need another vest specifically designed for that. Yeah, I'm a noob. lol
For now, I just need a way of carrying extra mags and stuff and still able to wear a backpack.
Ain't gonna happen. The push is on by the MB to take the west down while 0 is still in office, IMHO.
FROM MY COLD DEAD HANDS!
They’re.. decidedly NOT... “ours”.
shows the total pervasive extent of Merkel's commitment to the continued flood of muslim 'refugees'. The full breadth of German social services plus extras for the muzzies needs to be looked at...even architectural programs for housing. The Stasi bitch wants them embedded deep and forever.
US civilians comprise the largest army in the world. Don’t let our politicians disarm us. Rattle those sabers.
It’s reported 2/3rds are illiterate. Not sure how a million fighting age men with little respect for western values, or ability to read and write, are going to help the German economy.
Language problem?
No problem at all.
Teutonic efficiency has evolved a robotic method of teaching the muzzies.
from the page link:
“...Researchers at the University of Bielefeld are approaching one of the most challenging issues to arise from the wave of migration with an innovative solution: robots.
Using the programmable robot “Nao,” sporting cameras and microphones, researchers want to experiment with its ability to convey simple language skills to refugee children, especially those between the ages of 4 and 5.
“Teaching every child a second language individually is something kindergartens usually can’t cope with. That’s where robots can offer additional assistance,” said Stefan Kopp, an artificial intelligence expert at Bielefeld University, where he leads the cognitive systems and social interactions research group....”
Every sing ist wunderbar, ja?
Not when I was at Thun about eight months ago.
Biggest problem has been suicides. And no longer does the Army issue free ammunition to be kept- sealed- at home.
We aren't no thin red 'eroes, nor we aren't no blackguards too,
But single men in barricks, most remarkable like you;
An' if sometimes our conduck isn't all your fancy paints,
Why, single men in barricks don't grow into plaster saints;
While it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an` Tommy, fall be'ind,"
But it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind
There's trouble in the wind, my boys, there's trouble in the wind,
O it's " Please to walk in front, sir," when there's trouble in the wind.

ProTell ping!
You're right, but it is a little dated.
Try Feuerkampf und Taktik: Taktischer Schusswaffengebrauch im 21. Jahrhundert for something more recent. Amazon has it.
Even better: get both, and compare the two. That Swiss fighting mindset is still there.
Get a plate carrier with MOLLE loops on it. You can add or delete magazine pouches by size as required, and can upgrade your armor as better [e-SAPI] ballistic plates are available to you. Check out Combatreform.org for thoughts about airborne and light Infantry vests and exuipment.
