snip3r Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 this is just a quick post :- been seeing a LOT of "cov cons and such dont wear camo and i know for fact!!1111!/eleven//" but as i see it the one thing they do, do is this, "they use what THEY want and feel is needed" so if camo helps they wear it, if the vest works better than the other than the best vest gets worn and same for gear no more bashing they wear wat they want and how they want, they look at the situation and model a loadout to suit the pottential situations they could encounter. now im really bored so yea theres the answer to the comments of "civ con = no camo!!"

Delta CPD can wear camo as they're in the forces, but civilian contractors seem to be bound by certain rules. Link to post Share on other sites
PenGun Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Uhh, the guy on the far right is wearing boots: If he can wear boots, then I can wear boots =]. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes but they dont look like nice laced-up spit-polished issue jobbies do they? Most of the big manufacturers make really good "civvy" boots which are more expensive than mass-produced GI gear. Doubt they'd give much of a hoot anyways, some of these guys could be Delta or more likely Green Berets and they are notoriously independant when it comes to gear. Whatever they want, they can carry... The cap thing is just to avoid ridiculously unsuitable headgear from John Deere or Burberry or something. "Where did I dun put mah hat, ma?"

PenGun Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 No Ray Bans, Oakleys are the obvious piece of kit here <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Damn yeah you are right! I got caught up in the whole cool shades thing and overlooked THE cool shades, which are of course Oakley. My bad! We should get Trinny and Suzannah to dress up Arnie in civvy contractor gear ( I call it Manchurian Global gear ) (Hides under desk in case Arnie reads this ) Link to post Share on other sites

claypigeon Posted August 9, 2005 Report Share Posted August 9, 2005 Hello. I dont know how many of you have seen the Navy SPECWAR pictures, or Delta force CPD or Green Berets in Afghanistan..but we were trying to get that "undercover" look. The mixture of civilian clothing with military gear is appealing to us, but it seems hard to replicate without looking like a newb who forgot to buy BDUs. My question is how to make a legitimate impression. Also I have a question to some of you who may have tried this look....do large OPs count this as a uniform for your team? Or have you found it troublesome to be assigned or accepted in Ops? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I`m not finished with my own kit for the "SPECOPS" look, but I cant point you in the direction of some MILSIM Airsofters, who In my opninon have "hit the nail". I wont put a direct link to them here, but you can find them i Arnies Teamdatabase in the European section. they are called DASK, and are Located in Norway. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go and run over my kit, and in general, just "give it the works"... Link to post Share on other sites

Onechance Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Quick question, say if an american SF guy was workin would in some far flung sh!t hole, could he adopt the camo the army in that country use? A bit like the way they used tigerstripes in Nam? Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Maybe if he was a Green Beret on liason with the government, then yes, it's happened. Otherwise, I think it's case by case. Link to post Share on other sites
SEAL_Sniper Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 It is "illegal" (read: frowned upon) for PMC's in theater in Iraq to wear DCU's or pose as US Military, to my knowledge. Link to post Share on other sites
