Or just get an LBT. The 6094 has some features that the APC lacks. I liked my APC but I still think the 6094 is a better carrier. I know a real one is likely out of his price range, but as far a functionality goes I think a flyye 6094 is still better than an APC. With that said though, I personally don't use clone nylon gear, but if you look at it from a purely function standpoint the 6094 design is better.

I have the flyye 6094. Flyye gear from what I've seen is cheaper then pantac but there is only one store (to my knowledge) that sells flyye in the US.

I own the TMC and AWS 6094's. The TMC isn't as good of build quality as the AWS. If you aren't abusive to your gear the TMC will hold up just fine. If you want to spend a bit more for higher quality and don't mind a wait, go with AWS. As stated before follow up with a phone call right after you order my wait time for a multicam PC was only three weeks from AWS.

His us with a link. The "Fast Attack Plate Carrier" is the name of a vest that Diamondback Tactical (DBT) makes and FLYYE does make a replica of it. That said, airsoft retailers rarely use real names for their repro products to avoid trademark infringement. So ASM very well could have named the FLYYE repro of the 6094 "Fast Attack Plate Carrier" on their website.
In general, we talk about repro gear using the name of the real piece that it replicates. It's how we avoid getting all confused by the stupid names that airsoft retailers use. The side effect is, you have to get decent at identifying the more common vests.

Ah well Flyye is the only Flyye correct? I mean there isn't another company calling their stuff "Flyye" gear?

Yes, Flyye is the only company using that name, as far as I know.
However, retailers often change the manufacturer name on products for various reasons. For example, Evike labels all of its ACM stuff (i.e. JG, Dboys, Kart, Cyma) as "Matrix."
It also isn't uncommon for retailers to alter the name of a product to make it sounds more high speed or appealing. Calling something a 6094 is a) possibly in violation of some copyright and b) doesn't sound as sexy as "Fast Attack DEVGRU Iron Lance Laser Trout Plate Carrier."
In a more macro-sense, the airsoft manufacturing scene is always in flux with manufacturers switching names, changing locations, etc sometimes to avoid the authorities. This is especially true for Chinese manufacturers.
There used to be Phantom, which changed into Pantac, and then Flyye broke off from Pantac. This is similar to how there used to be STAR, and then STAR's OEM started to market their own products under the brand name Ares, and now you have S&T which seems very similar to Ares. Plus, you've also got re-branders like Magpul PTS, Echo 1, UTG and a host of others who take products built by certain OEMs and re-brand them as something else.

Using texting abbreviations is the quickest way to earn my ire. You'll want not to do that in the future.
