Thermal Detonator

[Kevin037[TK]]

Was thinking of putting something on the metal clips of thermal detonator to keep them from scratching up my armor.  What do you recommend?

Yep, this Velcro is the way to go.

Well I will go against the current and say it’s not necessary unless you try to put it on with a stabbing motion. To me that it doesen’t look good - buuuut totally up to everyone to decide for themselves

This is the method I use as well.

The issue isn't a stabbing motion, it's sharp metal against soft plastic.  Even if you're careful putting it on and off (and no one ever assists with this... which is quite common), just wearing the belt and moving around is going to mark up your plastic.  The soft side Velcro is an extremely easy way to help reduce the damage (doesn't eliminate it entirely).  It's not visible at all once you're wearing it.

I wrap silver duct tape around mine just to stop it scratching, still looks like metal in color.

I recommend to all our recruits to add soft Velcro to clips. Definitely helps in scratch reduction and can't be seen anyway.

Thanks everyone.
