RobbyC Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Lmao look at this !!!: http://www2.ttcn.ne.jp/~camouflage/image/botswana_camo.jpg it's like an hawaiian shirt!!!!!!!!!!!!! which is why i wouldn't wear it - because the bermuda shorts you'd have to wear with it simply wouldn't fit in in the long grass (it's botswanan camo btw) Link to post Share on other sites

doc_newstead Posted August 15, 2005 Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 Tef, I think we can safely assume that any fashionable pattern is off the cards Let's try and slate the cam's actually used in the field. Did I mention Multicam yet? If that's even used by anyone... Link to post Share on other sites

BAD DECISION. but ACU looks cool. Link to post Share on other sites

Crandall Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Come on, Multicam looks the *beep*, and works so well. Have a look at the military morons page, it is obvious Multicam works better then most conventional camo's, especially DPM! Link to post Share on other sites
Haji Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I won't wear any pattern that hasn't been or isn't currently issued, for the purpose of reenacting. Multicam is ghey because only geardos wear it. No military does. Its been alleged that contractors in Iraq use it, but most of the ones I know have generally gone the jeans-and-t shirt route.

billymak Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Jules: that pic - the way you compared and judged the camo isn't exactly the best method, I must say. Guys hiding in the bush would be right under/inside etc and not just over it. The 3 styles were just stuck on the picture whereas the tree line is something like 10 metres away, when a person in hiding would not just pop himself "over there by the trees" You wouldn't have pictures of guys wearing said camos and inside bushes/about the field would you? Also, a soldier would choose camo depending on where he "operates". The foliage and stuff are all slightly different colour and shade in my opinion. As a person who likes travelling and had been travelling a lot, I know there is no all purpose camo. I just realised now I've pretty much flown way off your original subject matter there... but do you get what I mean though? Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I highly doubt the pattern is "gay" But geardos wear it because it works. I could care less if a country uses something aslong as it works, and heres some evidence it works in many enviornments. Urban(ish) Desert Woodland (best woodland pic I could find) Grass(kinda) All cpoyrighted by CryePrecision, 2004. Link to post Share on other sites
Jules Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 I see what you mean and I agree with you, but I didn't make the picture I had it floating around the hard drive and posted it because I saw the discussion of digital and standard forms of camo. I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find some US Woodland vs MARPAT photos using actual soldiers, i'll google around and see what I can find. Link to post Share on other sites
billymak Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Rocky desert pic is really good... unfortunately, you could spend tens of thousands finding the right pattern, but how many places in the world would that blend in with I wonder? The government would only fund projects where a new or different camo is needed for certain regions of operation obviously. I just wished the the British MoD was given a BIT more pocket money.

I'm starting to think they just took a picture of that rocky desert and claim someone is there. I can find the guy in all the others, but this one he illudes me. Link to post Share on other sites
Tripod Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 See him now? I don't see why everyone thinks Multicam is the *beep* just because its manufacturer released pictures of it. I'm sure someone could do the same thing with ACU. Link to post Share on other sites

billymak Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 thing is... Camouflage is only required in open or semi open areas. You're better off wearing sports gear, a tac-vest with quick draw... and that's that. [we were soldiers quotes may begin] oops, forgot I was still posting left it open for like... ages yeah well. I'm not paid or trained to kill foreigners, so I won't go further. Link to post Share on other sites
doc_newstead Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 But geardos wear it because it works <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Geardos wear it because they don't get shot at for a living And DPM sucks? Yeah, it sucks real bad... At 10 feet. In daylight. Without a team of dedicated post-production designers doctoring it before posting it on the Crye website. Link to post Share on other sites

Eddie182 Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 There's far more to cam & concealment than just chucking on a set of DPM (of any type) and smearing cam cream all over your face and hands. To cam yourself up to point of being nearly invisible takes forever, and regardless of what you do, nothing is hard to spot at 20 metres in perfect daylight. Try finding a trained soldier in CS95 (or anything else for that matter) correctly cam'ed at 200m and you won't say in doesn't work so freely. And lets face, no one is going to spend 30mins on cam everytime they change environment in an airsoft game, not even the most hardcore of geardo's. Link to post Share on other sites
billymak Posted August 16, 2005 Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 point! reality takes hold? let's hope so. Wouldn't it be nice if the world was environmentally consistent . Roll out of bed in your dpm jammies having avoided detection for sleeping through your watch, stroll onto the battle field towards enemy lines only to find everyone else is doing the same thing... It's like a game of tag, only like you're blind, even though you're not. A newer type of war fare is upon us!!!! You may trip over a cam'ed soldier and fall to your death!!! :scaredpooless: Or take a poo on top of a cam'ed soldier... ---------------------------------------- Eddie, but at 200Metres, you'll really need to expect someone to be there, or it'll get hard to spot, unless you're flourescent, flashing or something. How's olive gear for camouflage? Could you just slap some mud and shrub onto yourself to make it better concealed? Link to post Share on other sites
